The World Beyond [Gladis&Hideki](Private)

[Gladis]

Calum smiled vaguely at Asher’s comment, yet it didn’t quite seem to reach his eyes. There was something about the mood, about the very atmosphere in the room itself that felt heavy and awkward. Like an unspoken tension he wasn’t quite sure how to resolve. It was hardly surprising, everything considered, but it still made the entire situation uncomfortable. It was as though really, nothing had been resolved. They were still on square one – the very place they’d started at and never left last night. That only became all the more apparent when Asher responded with his own apology of sorts, Calum’s smile fading as he shook his head. He opened his mouth to speak, only to close it again. Hardly anything would come of arguing about it further – so he let it go, welcoming the change of topic.

 

”Very well. In that case I will speak with Elizabeth and the chief. If we prepare everything today, we’ll be able to leave tomorrow morning. As for finding allies…” he trailed off, thoughtfully rubbing the back of his head. Although Asher wasn’t wrong, Calum wasn’t entirely sure what a single person would be able to accomplish. Witch or not, Calum was sure there had to be a limit to the sort of miracles she could work. That limit most likely did not exceed dealing with a horde of savages.

 

”Well, if nothing else she might be able to help out with making your time outside the suit more bearable.” Calum still didn’t like that Asher was talking about ’taking care of her’ so easily, but he kept those feelings to himself. Even if she was Zyan, whatever that was supposed to mean, she had lived at the edge of the waste for so long that she had practically become a part of it. Though she mostly kept to herself, she had become a valuable asset to both the passing seekers and the village itself. It was in part thanks to her knowledge that they had been able to turn their once almost barren lands as fertile and prospering as they were. She had made life at the Myre considerably easier and that was not to be underappreciated.

 

Upon being asked if that was all, Calum found himself hesitating. There was a clear note of disappointment in Asher’s voice – though he was sure the soldier tried to hide it. The air thickened and feelings of great discomfort roared up within him once more, serving as yet another reminder that truly nothing had been solved at all. It hurt. Why did it hurt so much?

 

Calum pushed his lips together, his mouth feeling dry as he watched Asher get dressed with a blank face. There was a part of him that couldn’t help but feel that maybe, just perhaps he was committing a great mistake. That maybe, just perhaps he was overthinking it again, and ruining something precious in the process. Jack often said ”we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it”, and seemed to live entirely by that philosophy. A bit careless perhaps, but not necessarily unhealthy. To completely disregard his own feelings, and Asher’s as well, for what he thought was morally sound and a future that might never come on the other hand, certainly wasn’t.

 

”Asher I-” Calum suddenly rose from his chair, taking a step towards Asher as he reached out towards him. Yet all he could feel as his fingers brushed against the others arm was cold, hard metal. ”I don’t know but things can’t stay like this.” Especially not if they were going to leave for the waste together. They had to make up somehow – yet could this situation even still be salvaged? Calum wasn’t so sure, and that uncertainty reflected in his eyes. Uncertainty and pain.

[-Hideki-]

He didn’t care to turn around when he heard his name. At this point he was almost certain that nothing that he wanted to hear or that he had hoped for would result from this conversation and he didn’t care for another disappointment. When the arm dressed in his combat suit was grabbed by the other and he was told that he didn’t know but thought that things couldn’t stay like this by the younger man a dry snort was coming from the soldier who still had turned his back towards the other man before he turned around and the blue eyes looked into Calum’s green ones while there was a cynic smirk on his face that made his scars twist to hide the pain.

 

“What can’t stay like this and what don’t you know?” he asked another dry laugh following. “Tell me clearly now, what do you want from me Calum? What did you expect?” Ash demanded to know as he did not understand the other one bit. His behaviour and this now didn’t make any sense to him. It was contradictory “I told you my inappropriate feelings, that I wanted to be close to you yesterday and you rejected me. You obviously didn’t want me. Today you appear in my room and apologise for having led me on. For having made me falsely believe that you wanted more from me when you don’t while appearing completely distanced. And now it’s you who says it can’t be like this?” He summarised. “What did you think? That you’d reject me and because you don’t want me I magically stop wanting you? That my inappropriate desires and what happens to my body since I don’t have the device to suppress and keep this from happening anymore would just go away like this and everything would just go back to before and we’d be all casual with each other again?” he asked. “Because that’s not how it works.” He said closing the front of his combat suit.

 

“Listen, I appreciate your apology for leading me on and sending me false signals, I also accept it, but I actually and really do have those desires which I told you about what was difficult enough to talk about as it is. You don’t have to return this. I have understood that you don’t want to be with me and get closer to me. That you want distance! That you want an Earthling instead, because there is no chance that an Earthling would ever return to his home planet no matter how irresponsible and false the man was and how poorly he might treat you, you’d still rather be close to someone unworthy like this than a decent man like me.” He paused to take some breath and then continued. “I am not saying that I find this logical or rational or that I’d understand that you don’t see that even with an Earthling who was not from another planet there would be no guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen, that it’d last forever or you wouldn’t get disappointed or hurt somehow. But you apparently need that illusion and with me you don’t have it, it’s fine, you decide who you want to be with and who not. But you can’t have closeness and distance at the same time. And I can’t grin and bear it to just be your friend but not even a too close one either, something between an acquaintance and a friend while when I am standing next to you and look at you like right now my fucking blood pressure rises and I want nothing more than to grab your arse, pull you close, feel your body and shove my tongue into your mouth.” The Colonel put it as bluntly as he could to scare the other away with disgust and to make him realise in what kind of situation he was, one that he didn’t want to be in because he didn’t want the same thing. One that would gross the other out enough to get it and leave it as it was so that Asher could somehow get over the rejection so that he’d just have to focus on how to get his horny body under control what would be quite the challenge in itself after that.

 

“So let me thank you for helping me in a time of need and then just keep our contact to a professional level as we apparently want different things from each other.” He concluded that this was the most logical thing to do as he took his helmet.

[Gladis]

No. No – this was all wrong. None of this was what he’d wanted. Not yesterday and certainly not now. His attempt to be considerate had backfired completely and it was clear that in doing so, he’d seriously hurt Asher’s feelings. Should that even have come as a surprise though? If Asher had done the same to him, wouldn’t he also have felt hurt and upset? At least the soldier had the courage to face his own feelings, whereas all Calum had done was dance around the subject like a fucking coward. Well no, that wasn’t entirely true. He had already admitted how he felt and what he wanted. That was what had started this entire mess in the first place. Listening to Asher as he put on his combat suit only drove it home even further.

 

”No Asher, that’s not what I-” he was cut off as Asher continued his rant, leaving little to no room for Calum to interject. It wasn’t fair. Calum had never said that he didn’t want him – quite to opposite. All he had done was voice his concerns and although even he had to admit that he’d handled the matter poorly, but he’d never openly rejected him.

 

”You’re not listening to me. What I meant to say is-” Again he was cut off mid sentence, although at this point he was too shocked to even care. Where was Asher even getting all of this from? That he’d rather be with an earthling? That he wanted some kind of illusion? Although some of what he was saying did sound familiar in a way… and then it hit him. Jack. Of course. Couldn’t keep his fucking trap shut, even if his life depended on it. Pressing his lips together, Calum curled his hands into fists as irritation welled up inside him. Yet that went almost as quickly as it had come – replaced by a different set of emotions. Perhaps Asher had meant to scare Calum off, but as it seemed his words had the opposite effect.

 

Without thinking he took a step forward, putting a hand on the helmet to prevent Asher from putting it on, whilst effectively closing the distance between them. Then he leaned up – and kissed him. Or… at least that was what he had intended to do, only to realize far too late that even if he stood on his toes, he still wouldn’t reach. Not without a little bit of help from Asher, that is.

 

”That...” Embarrassment exploded in the form of red tint on his cheeks and a grumble: ”That played out a lot more smoothly in my head. Forgot that I was dealing with a fucking giant for a moment there…” trailing off, he glanced up to meet Asher’s icy gaze. ”My point is – you’re wrong. I do want you, I’ve already told you that, remember? Was it not what started this entire mess to begin with? By ’things can’t stay this way’ – what I meant to say is… that neither of us will be happy like this so...uhm…” his face was blazing with heat at this point, though he kept his hand firmly placed on the helmet. ”If you want to ’shove your tongue into my mouth’ as you so nicely put it, you better come closer because you’re too damn tall for me to reach.”

[-Hideki-]

It obviously didn’t escape him that the brunette male was getting angry about something he said and that his hands formed fists and Asher hoped that he didn’t intend to start a physical fight with him when he walked up to him because the man would certainly lose and the soldier didn’t want to hurt Calum in any way. For an odd reason he felt like it would hurt him if he would hurt the other though that made absolutely no sense to the Xenonian man so he couldn’t see the logic behind how he himself felt.

 

But as he was approached the man’s attitude had changed again and he didn’t get what he was up to thousands of theories and possibilities shooting through his head to judge the situation correctly. Maybe he wanted to slap his face for being that indecent and saying that embarrassing stuff about grabbing his arse and shoving his tongue into his mouth to him in such a way. However he didn’t seem to be able to estimate the situation at all and then there already was the other’s hand keeping him from putting on his helmet. His blue eyes gazed at the younger one questioningly as the man leaned up to him and was doing a weird thing with his lips.

 

Ash looked at him as if he was the alien before it struck him and he realised that the other had tried to kiss him but had not reached his lips because he was too tall. A grin formed on the foreigners face when he looked at Calum who was flushing fire red mumbling about how this had played out differently on his mind and that he had forgotten that Asher apparently was a giant to him. “I would argue that you haven’t considered that you are unusually short for a male.” He corrected seriously, while his face still showed the amusement about the situation.

 

When the other was gazing up into his face Asher stared back into the green eyes, the same colour that the emperors eyes had so green was the most stunning and glorious eye colour to have to the Colonel. When the other started to speak he shook his head and was cutting him off with his deep bass voice. “No! You said you were sexually attracted to me and that you desired to engage in sexual activities with me. Hence I concluded that you’d want me and would want to be close to me what was where I was misled as it appeared that for dozens of reasons that you all named you consciously and by decision didn’t want to get any closer to me physically or otherwise regardless of how you felt about me.” He summarised the situation as he had perceived it and continued to listen to the other part that Calum had to say.

 

And when he was told what the brunette had meant to say with that the things couldn’t stay like this he got confused for a moment until the other man told him with a tomato red face that if he wanted to shove his tongue into his mouth he had to come closer meaning that he actually wanted Asher to do those things he had articulated to scare him off. There was a streak of red appearing on his own cheeks now as he looked at the shorter one and he was sensing a little nervousness paired with some fluttering in his stomach. The Xenonian man stepped forward a little hesitantly taking a deep breath having to bring himself to do what he wanted to do, to let go and just let himself be guided by the low instinct that had gotten suppressed on his home planet and that was seen as a danger in multiple ways.

 

His strong and huge hands that were covered by the metal of the combat suit reached out, firmly grabbed the younger man’s arse as he pulled the slender and shorter body close to himself. As he was lowering his head getting closer to the other man’s face he stared into those eyes being close enough to be able to feel Calum’s hot breath on his skin. Then he managed to close the remaining distance and he pressed his scarred thin lips onto the soft and perfect ones of the other man. The soldier was clumsily kissing him, trying to figure it out somehow. The fluttering in his stomach having gotten more intense, feeling like a firework had broken lose in him while his body was heating up considerably and his heart was racing like crazy. He had been much better at kissing in his fantasies and dreams though but he was already improving by just following his whim and desire, slightly parting the other’s lips with his tongue letting it slide into the brunette’s mouth rolling it around in there letting it dance with the younger male’s tongue. There was an exchange of saliva and for some reason Ash didn’t bother, wasn’t disgusted by their fluids mixing up though he couldn’t turn out the voice of their hygiene and their biology teacher in the back of his mind. Maybe those voices would never go completely silent as this had been drilled into his mind from an early age on.

 

Asher had to part with the other at one point because he needed some air and when their lips parted his face was rather red as well. His blue eyes were locked on the other to see how he was reacting to it asking himself if he had been any good at all or if the other had found it not sufficient, his hands were still placed on Calum’s arse, kneading his arse cheeks.

[Gladis]

”... I’m not short.”

 

By the way he said it alone, it was clear that this wasn’t the first time Calum had uttered those words. His lips pushed out into a slight pout and he took a moment to sulk about it before adding, reluctantly.

 

”Although I guess I’m also not particularly tall.” That did indeed ring true. Between him, Jack and Elizabeth he was definitely the shortest and Sasha dwarfed the lot of them. He only had his grandmother to thank for his height, who even in her prime had stood no taller than 153 centimeters. Then again, what she lacked in height, she made up for in personality. Calum liked to think the same applied to him.

 

”Oh you, wipe that grin off your face,” he grumbled, gently bumping his fist against the hard armor of his suit, ”It ain’t all that funny. You’re tall, okay? Like really tall. Taller than any person I know – so a giant.” Even if Calum was complaining, it was all in good spirit. Seeing Asher grin – even if it was over something as stupid as Calum’s hight (or perhaps lack thereof), was a lot nicer than the alternative. He didn’t ever want to see him that unhappy and hurt again. So if making him smile meant plunging head first into the irreversible, perhaps it was a risk worth taking.

 

Besides, at least he got to feel the satisfaction of making Asher blush. His lips quirked into a smile and there was a mischievous spark of amusement in the jade green shades of his eyes. It was clear that this was no small step for Asher and Calum was determined to give him however much time he needed. Not that he was made to wait for particularly long.

 

A look of mild surprise registered as he felt Asher’s hands on his butt, the sensation of metal rubbing against cloth odd but not unpleasant. He opened his mouth to say something, yet found himself getting lost in the intensity of Asher’s icy blue gaze. Before he had any time to gather himself, their lips were locked in a kiss. A terribly clumsy and sloppy kiss, that despite it all set Calum’s heart racing and his body ablaze. His tongue tingled as it brushed against Asher’s, and once they eventually pulled apart he was left breathless and wanting for more. His lips quirked into a smile at the sight of Asher’s red face.

 

”So, what do you think? Was it as good as you imagined?”

[-Hideki-]

Though he tried he couldn’t keep himself from laughing when Calum so stoically and stubbornly insisted that he was not short, what he was. It was amusing how seriously he took this and how it apparently bugged him to be called short, though he deep inside he probably knew that he was indeed a short man. It made him laugh even more when the brunette told him how unfunny the situation was and just how extraordinarily tall he was because he didn’t know anyone as tall as Asher. “Before I accidentally ended up here I have never seen a man as short as you either. Men on Xenon are 1,80m at shortest.” He told him. “Your height is within the range of a shorter Xenonian woman.” He observed scratching his chin. “Many if not most of our women are taller too though. So you are short in general I suppose.” He was analysing, correcting himself. “I absolutely don’t mind though.” The soldier then added while looking into the green eyes. “I find you really appealing to the eye and just right as you are.” He added to it and saying something like this was a huge complement coming from Ash.

 

Asher was definitely glad when Calum spoke after their kiss as he had no idea how to act now and was analysing the kiss and asking himself what he could have done better and if the other even liked it. Concerning himself with the question whether that arsehole who had been with the man before had been better than him. He hated that idea. He wanted to be better than this piece of garbage at everything and he wanted that the brunette came to see it that Asher was the best man he could get but being in touch with reality unfortunately made him aware of the fact that his kiss had been a little awkward.

 

What it was that the other said made his cheeks glow and he wished it had been something else the other had said or asked. “Different. More intense.” He admitted as he had not seen those fireworks in his stomach and the way his heart was beating as if it would break out of his chest and his combat suit every second coming. “I would like to repeat this sometime.” The Colonel said rather tensely as he was a little overwhelmed with the situation because it was completely new, completely different from all that he knew and nothing he had been taught in his life nor his life experience or any battlefield was of any help in this situation and it made him feel like a clueless kid though he was a grown ass man in his thirties. A soldier, a war hero, a legend! And that proud Xenonian man was awkwardly looking towards the ceiling now when he coughed! “I have to admit that this had played out more smoothly on my mind though.” He confessed. “I was much more proficient in my imagination.”

 

Biting his scarred lower lip for a moment he got himself to start to speak again. “Did you like it anyway? Would you like to repeat it sometimes too?” he badly wanted to know. “And am I at least better than that bastard you’ve been with before?” Ash couldn’t stop himself from asking as it bugged him beyond believe for some reason. He wanted to be sure that he was beating that lowlife in everything possible. That there was no discipline that man could beat him or come even close to him in.

[Gladis]

”Wow dude, you don’t have to rub it in. I get it, I’m a midget.” Yet even as he said that, the comment that followed was enough to put a small smile on his face. Although many were quick to point out and make fun of his height, only few actually bothered telling him that this was fine. Hearing it from someone as stoic and serious as Asher was another thing altogether. It made him oddly happy. Perhaps because he knew that the man was practically incapable of lying and so his words weren’t just mere flattery – he meant it.

 

As Asher explained how he felt about the kiss, Calum couldn’t help but allowing a soft chuckle to slip past his lips.

 

”That’s usually how it is. Reality rarely tends to measure up with the imagination. I know people, myself included tend to hype these things up, but the truth of the matter is that kissing is awkward. And just wait until we get to the other stuff. Now that’s awkward for real!” He paused for a moment, before adding. ”But isn’t that okay? Life is after all just a constant stream of embarrassment. Being able to reflect over these things and feel embarrassed about them in the first place is part of what makes us human. I think as long as we feel comfortable with each other, that’s the only thing that really matters…” he trailed off as Asher asked whether he had liked it anyway, realizing that he perhaps should have said something about that earlier.

 

”You did great, Asher,” Calum reassured softly, and he meant it. ”A bit rough around the edges perhaps, but that’s to be expected. Take it from someone who apparently did horribly during their first kiss. Besides, it’s not something that can’t be remedied with a little bit of practice, and you can bet that I’d be more than happy to help you out!” He grinned, although it began to falter as soon as his former lover was mentioned, a small shadow flitting across his features.

 

”I don’t know what Jack told you about him but I’m sure it wasn’t good. He and Jack never got along very well, so his account of what happened must have been incredibly biased.” There was a note of irritation in his voice – not so much at Asher for bringing it up, but rather at Jack who so readily had spilled the beans about a matter that was not his to talk about. That note subsided as he continued, replaced by a different emotion. Sadness and perhaps pain. ”Not that it matters at this point. He’s gone for good – dead, if you must know, so it’s not like he will ever become a problem. Please don’t concern yourself with him.” Taking advantage of the fact that Asher’s lips were still within reaching distance, he claimed them in another kiss – this one short and sweet. ”Please…” he murmured as he pulled back, gazing up into those icy pools of blue.

[-Hideki-]

He listened as the younger male told him that this was pretty much the norm and that reality and fantasy usually were different altogether and that it was okay that it had been rather awkward. When Calum mentioned the ‘other stuff’ informing him that this would get even a lot more awkward and embarrassing there was another wave of heat shooting into his head though his skin couldn’t possibly turn more red than it already had at this point. This would be awkward too. And if he had already been much worse at kissing, how was he supposed to figure out how to have sex with the man properly. Was anything that had happened in his dream and on his mind even realistic? Did people do those things? Or had he been right with the conscious assumption that no one would actually do this and his mind was just crazy? But he couldn’t ask that either. If that was actually unspeakable and people didn’t do this the other would think there was something wrong with him for sure. He suddenly felt nervous. A feeling he also didn’t know and had never felt before while his stupid heart didn’t stop racing when he only looked at the brunette.

 

When Calum told him that the most important thing when it came to all of this was that they felt comfortable with each other his blue eyes met the green ones and he asked right away and directly: “Do you feel comfortable with me?”

 

It relieved him more than he had expected to hear the other say that he had done well after all and that the shorter man was more than happy to help him practise and become better at kissing what also answered his other question as to whether the man would like to repeat this too or not. A smile formed on his face making his scars twist. He wondered if the kiss had felt differently had his lips not been that scarred. His scarred skin wasn’t as sensitive as the few remaining spots that were not covered with scars. And they certainly felt differently for the one who touched them. If they were to get naked and touch each other would the other even like to feel and touch his scars?

 

Asher shook his head lightly to stop thinking about all that stuff. What was he even doing there working himself up over such things and concerning himself with them. He should relax and just see where it went and stop bothering himself whether he was an impressive enough man. Even though he was sexually inexperienced, clumsy and not the most handsome sight anymore as he was full of burn scars he was a win! He was the best combat pilot on Xenon, he had been invited to the emperor in person and he was certainly impressive and good enough for anyone if the emperor would have a coffee with him.

 

He could see Calum’s attitude change when he brought up that irresponsible twat and a frown appeared on Asher’s face when the other was basically excusing him by telling the Colonel that Jack had been biased and had hence painted the other more negatively. The platinum head was certain that the one biased and too blind to see what a jerk this dude had been was the brunette himself actually and not his friend but he didn’t say anything as the other was appearing to get sad, even pained. Something that the man from Xenon had learned to detect on Earth by the people there! When he got told that this man was no threat to him in any way anymore because he was dead Ash couldn’t keep himself from thinking that the guy deserved death for a moment. He was Xenonian after all and they were often harsh and unforgiving in their judgement. “Fine.” Asher told the other when he was asked to please not concern himself further with his ex and the man was willing to try to not do it but he couldn’t guarantee that he would succeed.

 

His eyes closed automatically when he was kissed by the younger man. It was a short kiss and he immediately felt like reconnecting their lips but he had to let the other say his word first before he pressed his lips onto the other’s in a deep kiss one of his hands roaming from the other’s arse up under the man’s shirt and his covered fingers were wandering over his back, touching the soft skin, pressing the man’s body onto his broader one wishing he wasn’t wearing the combat suit and could feel Calum more. When their lips parted he gazed into those green eyes about to get lost in them. “Should we go downstairs, eat and tell your friend that we will leave sooner?” he suggested, taking his hands off of the other man’s body to reach out one of his hands to take the younger male’s hand into his own as he remembered the other telling him that people did this when they were feeling like this for each other. Asher had not gotten it and he still honestly didn’t but he thought he might get it if he just did it.

[Gladis]

Asher’s question was a little on the nose but yet all the same, if not perhaps also just a wee bit silly. Even so, Calum couldn’t help but smile a little.

 

”Do you really think I would want you this close if I didn’t feel comfortable around you?” he asked in a soft murmur, arching an eyebrow as he gazed up at Asher earnestly. ”Of course I feel comfortable around you. Can the same be said about you? Or am I just making you needlessly nervous about all this?” He hadn’t failed to notice that Asher felt nervous about something. It only made sense that he was overwhelmed by all this. Not only was he inexperienced, he had also lived his entire life believing that this kind of physical contact was one of the worst crimes one could commit. Considering what his attitude towards sex had been when he first got here, his eagerness now was almost a little ironic, if not surprising. It was a pretty big leap to make and Calum found it fairly hard to believe that this wasn’t affecting him at all.

 

”Are you okay, Asher?” He asked softly. ”You know, if there’s anything bothering you, or you have questions – about anything at all, don’t hesitate asking, okay? I’ll do my best to answer whatever question you may have.”

 

It came as a relief to Calum that Asher agreed to let the topic of his ex go. As much as he could understand where Jack and by extension Asher were coming from, he also felt that they lacked too many details to even make that judgement in the first place. Asher especially. Not that he felt any need to fill him in – not at the moment, anyway. So he simply smiled, murmuring a soft ”thank you” before Asher pulled him into another kiss. This one was already an improvement to the first, although Calum had to admit that he found himself wishing that Asher was out of his suit. The hard metal hand felt odd against his bare back and it wasn’t exactly comfortable to be pressed up against. This however was neither the right time nor place to ask Asher to undress – as tempting as that might have seemed.

 

Asher taking his hand was another surprise, though Calum certainly didn’t mind. Upon being asked whether they should go downstairs, he nodded his head only to pause and hesitate a moment later.

 

”Isn’t wearing the suit like that pretty uncomfortable? I can go fetch you a shirt and a proper pair of trousers if you’d like…”

[-Hideki-]

“I don’t know… Judging from your answer probably not…” He said after the other man had asked him whether he thought if he would want him that close to himself if he wasn’t feeling comfortable around him. Ash couldn’t really assess this situation, he had not been trained for this, nor did he have experience with interhuman relationships much less with romance and feeling comfortable with another person even being a question. If he thought about that he couldn’t really tell what being comfortable with another human included. He had found his sofa in his apartment really comfortable…. But that was probably not the same comfortable. It most of the time was not what Asher was thinking about or at least there was a lot more to it.

 

He was glad that the other confirmed feeling comfortable around him as Calum had made this the most important requirement. When he was asked whether he too felt comfortable around him and on top of that if the other was just making him needlessly nervous it was difficult for him to tell and not only because he wasn’t sure what feeling comfortable around another person contained but also because he indeed was nervous around the other at the moment which had to do with more than one factor, one of which he understood, the other one he didn’t find logical. Maybe most Earthlings would now have instantly said just yes but Asher was not an Earthling he was Xenonian. “I’d say I do since although it’s a different kind of comfortable than when I think about my sofa back at home, I would like to come back home after work and find you too in my apartment. It would well, feel warm but not like warm weather and cosy but not like the sofa.” He tried to explain what it was that he was feeling. “But….” He started his face looking strained while he started to murmur barely moving his lips. “I think I am nervous too although I have never been nervous in my entire life.”

 

When Calum asked him whether he was alright when his mind was running rampage and he was questioning his physical attractiveness due to the scars and was getting a little tense thinking about not having a clue of how to sleep with the man if they’d do it, not knowing what people actually did and whether there was just something wrong with his mind that he thought about stuff like that and that stuff was arousing him, he looked to the side for a moment. “Yes…” he answered. “I am just asking myself whether… well… when people have sexual intercourse if they actually do what I have been thinking about or not at all or if there is just something wrong with me having such things on my mind.” The platinum haired man said feeling like an idiot because he was thirty-three and he had no idea and was asking questions that on Calum’s planet every teenage brat could have probably answered. “We never actually talked about how people copulate…just what would lead to uncontrolled reproduction. There was not even a mention of the possibility that men could feel inappropriately about other men like I do now that I don’t have the device anymore. They only ever talked about inappropriate behaviour and feelings between men and women as that’s the biggest threat as it could lead to reproduction.” He explained in an attempt to seem less stupid but it didn’t make him feel much better in this position. He was a high-ranking military man… he was not the one asking questions, he was the one telling how it was done.

 

 

After he had taken the younger male’s hand into his and was already about to step out of the room with the other Calum addressed his clothing and that he didn’t have a shirt under his combat suit. He shook his head. “Let’s eat here first. Then we can go and I can change the clothes I have under the suit. It’s not too bothersome for now.” he answered opening the door, still holding the man’s hand going down the stairs with him.

[Gladis]

Calum listened to Asher’s explanations in regards to feeling comfortable, unable to keep a small smile from tugging at the corners of his lips. The way he tried to express himself was kind of sweet and the comment about how he’d like to find Calum in his apartment as well made him feel stupidly happy.

 

”I think I can sort of see what you’re getting at. It’s a bit like what I’ve been feeling when coming home from a long days work out in the fields. It just… makes me really happy to have you around. Which you know, is why I didn’t really want to mess this up. I guess I ended up overthinking it though and made a much bigger mess than it would have been if I’d just been honest to begin with…” he trailed off, laughing nervously whilst running his fingers through his messy brown curls. He did sober up however when Asher expressed his concerns in regards to having sex. It made sense, he suppose – considering all the things Asher had told him about Xenon before.

 

”I see…” he paused for a moment, tilting his head a little to the side as he tried to think of the best way to approach it. ”Honestly, if I were you I wouldn't worry about it too much. I’m sure none of the things you’ve been thinking about are too terribly out there. Just trust your instincts on this one, okay? And the knowledge mother nature hasn’t already granted you I can probably help you with. It’s kind of like with the kissing. Takes a bit of practice but I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it soon enough.” He smiled reassuringly, giving his hand a gentle squeeze.

 

By the time they had left the guest room and gone downstairs Jack and Verona had already left for the fields. Lydia was in the process of washing up the dishes, though had deliberately left Asher’s plate on the table – as well as adding another for Calum. She greeted them both with a warm smile.

 

”Make sure to eat up,” she said as she loaded their plates with bread, butter, cheese and even some ham onto their plates. That was something Calum hardly needed to be told twice, beginning to wolf down his breakfast almost as soon as they’d taken their seats at the table.

[-Hideki-]

There was an odd kind of happiness overcoming him at hearing that it made the younger one happy to come home from work and having Asher around then, spending the rest of the day with him. Before he had crushed onto the foreign planet the platinum head would have flipped the brunette the bird if he had talked about wanting to come home to someone else. The Colonel had always come home into his empty apartment just his technology and furniture waiting for him and to the Xenonian man that had been how it had to be. That was the way it was done. Nights were there to rest and spend alone. And now he not only appreciated the other feeling this way, he also felt this way. He liked the other’s presence and even when he was tired the other being around didn’t bother him. It actually was putting him more at ease instead of stressing him out.

 

“I don’t understand why you haven’t continued to be honest either. It makes no sense to me. Although I can see that you meant well.” The soldier let the other know. He was certain that there would be a lot of occasions where he just wouldn’t understand the other’s actions, his thinking and why he did what he did and he was sure that Calum would not always understand him either. But maybe due time, their understanding for each other would improve.

 

Asher was absorbing everything the other told him after he had voiced his concerns about having sex and the fantasies on his mind like a sponge. Until the mentioning of ‘mother nature’ that was. “There still is no such thing as mother nature.” The Xenonian commented rolling his eyes. “Just because I like you and I am attracted to you it doesn’t mean that you’ll get a free pass from me for saying retarded, toxic things.” The man made that clear but at the other squeezing his hand his facial expression got rather gentle and a small smile was to see on his lips again. “Though I am glad that you don’t have a problem answering my questions and that you have enough trust in me to be more certain than I am that what I am thinking about is sane and not plain absurd because .... when I analyse it, it seems really abnormal, as if no one would actually do something like that.” He indirectly thanked the other hoping the man was right and he wouldn’t get a bad awakening and would feel like Ash had failed him.

 

As they entered the kitchen they saw one of the women washing the dishes. The other members in the house apparently had already eaten. And when Asher greeted the woman he got a warm smile from her. If she had realised or been bothered by the Colonel holding Calum’s hand what meant that they were having feelings for each other on this planet she didn’t let it show and the alien sat down on his chair looking at the food on his plate. While the brunette ate right away the Xenonian observed the food, he even went back to letting J.O.S.H. check this to see what components it was made out of. When he had sceptically eyed the meal for a while listening to J.O.S.H. listing every chemical component of the food to make certain that he didn’t consume something like the met he had drunken the other night and that was still affecting him badly again.

 

When he had been sure that the food was alright he was eating so fast that one could have thought that someone wanted to steal the food from him if he was not fast enough. After he had emptied the plate he rose from the seat and looked towards the lady. “Thank you for the food and for letting me stay the night.” He thanked her and then looked to Calum. Shall we?” he said already grabbing his hand pulling him out the door though.

 

Because he had the task of changing his clothing underneath the combat suit in mind he was aiming right for it as they entered the house of Calum’s family and Ash was still dragging the other behind on his hand without really realising it. He just got aware of that when they were standing in the room they both shared and the soldier wanted to get some fresh clothing not only trousers and a shirt but also boxers because he currently wasn’t wearing any and only then did he let go of the human’s hand.

 

While he found himself strangely nervous around the brunette for things he usually didn’t blink an eye about the Xenonian still was not bothered or nervous at all to undress and get naked in front of the man. So he was stripping naked completely, laying the combat suit onto his bed going to fetch the clothing from the wardrobe without anything on, moving around in the room freely.

[Gladis]

Of course Asher was going to drop a comment like that. It is something Calum had become rather used to the last two months, and although he more than disagreed, he also realized that there was little point in arguing about the matter. Offering Asher a vague smile, he awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. There were many words that could be used to describe Asher, but tactful certainly wasn’t one of them, and although Calum didn’t particularly mind the others off beat comments, he knew that there were those that did. Even so, he honestly didn’t feel like having that conversation right then, and thus let it go.

 

As Asher continued to speak, a small but gentle smile began to tug on the corners of Calum’s lips. He was half a mind to ask Asher what those things were, but decided that leaving it to later would be more the more reasonable thing to do. They were still expected to help out on the fields, after all, and the two of them were already running late. For the sake of effectivity, he could stave off his curiosity a little bit longer.

 

”Whatever your mind has conjured up, I’m sure I’ve heard worse. Like I said, don’t worry about it, okay? It’ll be fine.” That much he was was sure of. ”We’ll have more time tonight, so if you feel like it, we can talk about it then, alright?”

 

Once they’d finished their meals and both given their thanks, they wasted no time leaving for the cottage. Or rather, Asher didn’t, readily grabbing Calum’s hand to pull him along. Not that he particularly minded, although it was a little surprising. He wouldn’t have expected Asher to be that into holding hands. Or perhaps he was just in a hurry to get out of that suit. No matter the reason, he found himself laughing softly as he was pulled across the yard and into the their home.

 

”Uhm, Asher,” he mused once they stood in their shared room, ”I know that holding hands is wonderful, but you’ll probably want to let go of me now. Changing clothes tends to be easier with both hands free.” He chuckled softly, taking a step back once Asher let go of his hand, to lean against the wall as he waited.

 

Perhaps it was shameless of him, but this time Calum didn’t bother looking away. Should Asher have desired privacy, he wouln’t have pulled him along. Besides, he was sure he had not only imagined Asher’s gaze on his back when he dropped the towel last night. Last night. Just thinking about it was enough to send a small shiver down his spine. It made him wonder how things would have played out if he’d kept touching him, like he was asked to do. If he hadn’t messed up. How far would they have gone? Would they finally have resolved the tension that had been building between them for ages?

 

Calum didn’t have the answer the answer, and thinking about it sure as hell wasn’t doing him any favors. They had somewhere to be, he couldn’t afford to get carried away. Yet even though he knew he ought to have looked away, he found himself unable, or perhaps unwilling, to tear his gaze off the older man’s naked form as he laid out the suit on his bed and headed over to the wardrobe. Even with all his scars, Asher was quite the sight to behold. It was something he had already taken note of the very first time he’d laid eyes on him and since then, how many times hadn’t he jerked off, thinking about it? Thinking about how much he wanted to touch him – to explore every inch of his body? And now Asher was so close that all he’d have to do would be to reach out his hand and do it. Was it a blessing or was it torture? Calum couldn’t know for sure. Perhaps both. What he did know was that he shouldn’t, even if he desperately wanted to. But then again, last time he’d subscribed to that kind of mindset he’d only ended up with regret.

 

”Asher–” Calum started, only to cut himself off right after. His heart had begun to pound uncontrollably and his cheeks had taken on a soft shade of pink.

 

Not now, he tried to tell himself, We don’t have time. Later. Yet no matter how many times he repeated it in his head, he couldn’t quite seem to calm down.

[-Hideki-]

The Xenonian man was aware that Calum was joking about the handholding and it rose awareness within him that he had probably not done it right or had done something odd but he really didn’t have any idea what. Was there a time limit? Or was it more about timing? And how should he know when to hold the hand and when not to. “What did I do wrong at handholding, I’ll make sure to correct the mistake, I am willing to train this.” The Colonel spoke really serious about this while he was searching for some proper clothes.

 

While he was reaching for a clean shirt to lay on the bed he could feel Calum’s eyes on his body and he certainly didn’t mind but it was odd as the feeling of the green gaze was making his skin tickle without it being touched and it made him crave touch what was even more odd. He paused for a moment questioning the weird stuff that was going on with his body but it was too difficult to gasp so he decided to ignore it and started to get dressed ignoring the eyes on his naked form that before the crash on that planet wouldn’t have had any effect on him.

 

Asher had put on boxers and was about to pull up normal pants when he heard the brunette saying his name in a way that was unfamiliar to him. He thought for a moment and figured that maybe Calum didn’t like the farm work either and didn’t want to do that too. “Aren’t you thrilled about the farm work either? I honestly don’t fancy doing that at all I have never thought I’d ever say that but I don’t really want to go to work.” The soldier said. Ash had always seen work as the highest duty, something important and he had been excited to work and sick to the point it had almost felt like being caged and punished when he didn’t have work but that farm work he really didn’t like. Not that he had ever thought about liking work or not, he had thought that it didn’t matter whether someone liked it or not but that specific work bored him to death even though he felt bad about not wanting to do that work. “It’s boring and not challenging at all. It’s not even enough to keep my mind to focus so it goes everywhere else and that’s not good.” He said and then he finally turned around to the younger one his pants pulled up but not closed, his scarred torso still bared.

 

And when his blue eyes met the green ones he knew it was not about the farm work. He didn’t know why he knew but he did. The young man looked tense, his face was slightly blushed and there seemed to be a flame that he was fighting against and the way the other looked at him made his heart race and he could feel something lighting up in him again too, that desire that had already overcome him in the other’s presence. The Colonel was making a step towards him not taking his eyes from him. He reached out and laid his hand onto Claum’s slightly heated cheek, stroking over it with his scarred thumb, his other bare hand grabbing the young man’s waist as he pulled him closer and kissed him another time. He was getting more bold than before and less helpless as their lips met and his tongue was sliding into the other’s mouth again.

 

When the kiss broke Asher let his hand run over the other’s jaw and then he let it run over the man’s chest tracing his silhouette. “Should we rather postpone the work and antedate that conversation...because I think I need this conversation.” He stated as he was about to get very close with the other and wanted to be sure that he didn’t do something unspeakable.

[Gladis]

Calum couldn’t help but laugh softly, shaking his head. ”You didn’t do anything wrong,” he tried to reassure him, ”I was just pointing out that it’s easier to get things done with both hands free…” he trailed off, tilting his head a little to the side. It wasn’t really like Asher to get so carried away. Not that Calum was complaining. It was kind of comforting to see that Asher was only human too. With everything that had just transpired, who wouldn’t have gotten carried away? With where his mind was going at the moment, Calum certainly didn’t have any right to complain.

 

Fuck, how long had it been since he’d had sex with anyone last? A year? Maybe two? Three? Was that why his mind kept going to unholy places? Why he so desperately craved the others touch? Why he couldn’t help but feel a sting of frustration when Asher jumped to the conclusion that it was about the farm work?

 

”No,” he said, ”No, it’s not that. I–” he cut himself off, unsure how to best approach the matter. In the end, he never even had to. The moment Asher turned around and their eyes met, he could tell that the other understood. He had understood without needing to be told, and that came as a major relief to Calum.

 

His heart skipped a beat when Asher laid his hand upon his cheek, his thumb feeling rough but not unpleasant as it stroked across his skin. Then he was pulled into another kiss, and any willpower he’d had to resist was pushed aside by the wet tongue sliding between his eagerly parted lips. His hand curled against Asher’s chest, his heart pounding hard and his body burning with hot, uncontrollable desire.

 

”Perhaps that would be a good idea…” he agreed, a little breathlessly. ”Well then, Asher,” he mused, the corners of his lips quirking smile as he slid his arms around Asher’s shoulders, ”why don’t you start by telling what you have in mind?”

[-Hideki-]

His temperature went higher when he felt the other’s hand on his chest, as he pressed the slender figure against his broad one and it made him kiss the other even more eagerly and heatedly, to the point where it seemed that they were devouring each other. It didn’t even feel awkward to him anymore, he just wanted more of it and had he not needed to breathe he wouldn’t have broken the kiss anymore at all.

 

Even though they were speaking his lips were still burning, burning to kiss the man again and not only his lips but his neck and skin too, he wanted to kiss every centimetre of the brunette man. And when Calum agreed that it would be a good idea to postpone the farm work there was excitement within him but at the same time a certain nervousness came back because he knew that they would get serious about this now. It was not so much the idea of having sex and that he would be deemed a hygiene threat on his planet and that it was wrong and all that jazz he had learned because he knew that no matter what without the device it would happen sooner or later and probably sooner anyway, but the inexperience and the fact that this was a new situation a new situation he had not been trained for but rather kept clueless about.

 

He looked into the other’s face and he could see a smile forming on it when he laid his arms around the soldier’s broad shoulders telling him to start by telling him what had been on his mind. “Well,” he began. “there is two things I am not so sure of whether that is something that people actually do because our biologists would definitely say that this is completely wrong and the wrong usage.” The Xenonian began and he talked calmly as if he was in science class but when it was about actually saying what had been on his mind, what urge he had felt and had imagined doing with the other a slight red colour crept onto his cheeks.

 

Ash let his hand slide down from the young man’s hips letting it travel to his butt, grabbing it firmly. “Yesterday, in that bathhouse, when you lost your towel....” he stared. “I stood behind you and I got quite the view of your slightly spread arse and the hole...” he continued the red getting more intense. “It kinda turned me on and my crotch started to feel heated and I got the urge to use your exit as an entrance so to speak.” The man from out of space told him looking at him getting more nervous with every minute he waited for a reaction trying to examine the other’s face to see how he’d respond to that. If he’d be shocked or repulsed or if he would laugh at his stupidity! And in that moment he thought that life on Xenon had been much easier and less complicated in many ways.

 

It took him a moment to bring up the courage to ask the other thing then but he actually did it although he would have preferred the farm work in this very situation actually. “And then I had a weird dream and the people involved in it...” he didn’t mention that Calum, the farm worker and he himself had been in it. “They used their mouths on each other’s dicks.” The platinum haired admitted what his subconscious had made up. “Is that an actual thing?” he wanted to know.

[Gladis]

Calum could tell that Asher was nervous, and understandably so. This was going to be his first time, after all, and something like that better not be rushed. So no matter how horny and eager he felt, Calum was determined to give Asher the time he needed.

 

Seeing him blush and fumble as he worked up the courage to speak kind of reminded Calum of what a stuttering, blubbering mess he himself used to be, back when all of this was new to him. The difference being that he’d at least had an idea of what he was getting himself into. Asher on the other hand was kind of clueless in regards to that. Or so he’d thought, until Asher began to speak. Slowly but surely a smile crept across Calum’s face, amusement sparking in his eyes. Amusement and a hint of embarrassment, taking the form of a faint pink shade dusting his cheeks. Although perhaps Asher’s hand was the cause for that, sending a wave of heat coursing through Calum’s abdomen as it grabbed his arse. He let out a small involuntary gasp, almost instinctively pushing up against Asher.

 

”Well, it’s good to know that you’ve pretty much got it all figured out already. Saves me from having to explain it,” he mused, and then added for clarification, ”What you just described is more or less exactly how it’s done. So if your scientists say that it’s wrong… well, joke’s on them, I guess. They have no idea what they’re missing out on~” he winked and then paused, listening to Asher describe his dream. Calum’s smile transformed into a grin.

 

”That’s very much a thing,” he assured him before adding in a soft murmur, ”in fact, if you’d like I could show you how it works right now…” he slowly slid his left hand down across the marred skin of Asher’s torso, stopping to hover beneath the other’s belly button. ”What do you say?” He purred, hooking two fingers into the waistband of Asher’s trousers before giving it a gentle tug, ”does that sound good? Or would you prefer to try something else first?”

[-Hideki-]

Seeing the amusement in Calum’s eyes and the smile on his face made him feel as if he had indeed been thinking about something completely absurd and that the other would probably burst out into laughter telling him that neither his cock nor anything else belonged in that hole asking him if he was stupid and had not paid any attention in biology class. It didn’t help with the nervousness and the awful feeling of uncertainty and cluelessness that he hated. He hated to not know and to have to ask as it made him feel off charge and he liked to be in charge and control. But how could he be in control and dominant if he was basically like a student facing his mentor for the first time even though he was the older one of the two.

 

Something else threw him out of his thoughts though and that was how Calum gasped and how he pushed against the soldiers body when the Xenonian man had firmly grabbed the other’s arse. Ash couldn’t help himself but to find that erotic and enthralling and he rocked his crotch against the brunette’s automatically without any thought at all and it started to tickle down there and to heat up.

 

When Calum finally spoke Asher widened his eyes when he heard that he apparently had figured it out correctly. Not only that but that the brunette said that this was more or less how it was done and that the joke was on the Xenonian scientists. “Are you sure?” he asked. “I mean they have a point when they describe the anatomical functions and naming the purpose of certain body parts and what is not the purpose... ” the platinum haired man started but cut himself off when he realised the essential part of what the shorter man had said and that all the other stuff didn’t even matter right now and probably not at all. What mattered was that Calum was not opposed to it, he wasn’t shocked or grossed out and didn’t tell him to keep away from his arsehole with his dick and he seemed generally positive about it, seeming to want this too. The blue eyes looked into the green ones rather intensely and he cleared his throat before he spoke. “So you mean that you’d like me to do that? That you’d enjoy my dick inside there?” he asked and was slightly spreading the younger man’s arse-cheeks with his strong grip and he could feel excitement rising up in him at the thought of this.

 

He had not expected the other to almost enthusiastically inform him that people sucking cock was very much a thing and much less had he expected him to breathe out that he could show him how that was done right away, seductively letting his hand run across the scarred skin of his torso what made a spark run through him, blood rushing downstairs as his crotch was heating up and his dick twitched at the thought and the visualisation of Calum licking and sucking it, anticipating it to happen. The soldier got a little tense but all the more excited when the brunette was tugging on his pants pulling them down somewhat, asking him if that sounded good or if he’d prefer to try something else. “Sounds good.” He just said looking at the other with a gaze filled with desire and lust.

[Gladis]

It kind of seemed like Asher was starting to get the hang of it, the way he was rubbing up against Calum. A grunt of approval spilled past his slightly parted lips, his grip on Asher’s shoulder tightening. The stimulation, though slight, was making him feel dizzy with arousal, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to focus on their conversation. Even then Asher’s words were enough to draw a hearty chuckle from the youth.

 

”Asher,” he said, ”yes. Yes, I absolutely want you to do that. In fact, I’d be sorely disappointed if you, after all this, suddenly turned around and said you didn’t want to fuck me.” Calum teased, leaning up to catch Asher’s lips in yet another passionate kiss. ”I want you to fuck me like there’s no tomorrow…” he whispered as he pulled back, his jade green eyes glowing with hunger, his body heating up at the mere thought.

 

”First things first, though,” he mused, sinking to his knees, and pulling Asher’s trousers and underwear down along as he went, ”I promised you a blowjob, after all.” As he spoke, his gaze dropped from Asher’s face to his cock, and he found himself subconsciously licking his lips. How long had he thought about wanting to do this? He’d never thought Asher would actually let him. The mere thought of what he was about to do was enough to have him theming with excitement.

 

”It’s been a while so I might be a bit rusty…” Calum warned, not entirely unjokingly. Then he spat into his hand, rubbing his palms together before wrapping one of them around the base of Asher’s cock, giving it a few pumps before parting his swollen lips enough to slide the bulbous head into his mouth. He swirled his tongue around it, tracing the shape, feeling the texture and savoring the taste. It was clear as day that he was enjoying himself thoroughly, and all the while he kept his gaze locked on Asher’s face, eager to see his reaction.

[-Hideki-]

He was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm the other told him with that he did want him to do that, that he would enjoy it and that he would be disappointed if Asher wouldn’t take him like that after all of this. The Xenonian didn’t have much time to be overwhelmed by the response though because he was pulled into another passionate and intense kiss and his hand squeezed the other man’s arse more firmly and tightly automatically whereas his other hand had a grip on Calum’s waist and he was pressing the man closer to himself while his tongue went on a safari in the brunette’s mouth.

 

When the kiss broke and the shorter man whispered into his ear that he wished for Ash to fuck him like there was no tomorrow looking at him with a hungry, heated gaze that made the soldier let out a low horny groan his blue eyes filled with desire and lust as he gazed back at the younger man before him.

 

Before he knew though the brunette was getting onto his knees in front of him pulling down his pants and boxers, freeing the confined cock that was now greeted by the cold air in the room that was playing around his heated manhood. Asher’s burn scars didn’t just stop at his waistline, they went further and the man had actually been incredibly lucky that he still had his dick after having been burned like a chicken in the oven and that everything was functioning normally. He wasn’t quite sure how Calum saw this but when he saw the young man licking his lips as if his dick was the most delicious food on the planet, seeing with how much desire he looked at the thick rod made it quite obvious that he apparently didn’t mind the scarring at all, that he actually carved to taste and suck it like nothing else.

 

After his dream he would have never thought that people actually would do and now having Calum’s very real face in front of his very real dick turned him on already and made him curious as to how this would feel in reality and he was starting to go crazy with anticipation when he watched the brunette spitting into his hands. The Colonel rose an eyebrow looking at the other not quite sure why he had spat in his hands and what he wanted to do now but the thought was blown into pieces when he felt one of the man’s hands wrapping around his dick, a gasp coming from him in return and he could feel how he was getting hotter when the man started to stroke his dick a few times before he was bending his head over to him.

 

The tongue of the other man swirling around the glans and under his foreskin, tracing around his dick made intense sparks of pleasure streaming through him making his body yearn for more. This was much better and different than his hand and his hand had already been a giant improvement to the device. His breath was on the rise, getting heavier, his heart pounding like crazy in his chest and while he was stimulated and sucked off he was letting out slight pleasured noises. Instinctively Asher got his hands to the brown mane of hair, running through it before burying themselves in it, slightly pressing the head of the young man closer while his hips moved on their own, thrusting into the younger one’s mouth further. When his tip reached the throat he growled in pleasure as the tightness felt amazing and it made him want to thrust his hips more to increase the pleasure he was feeling.

 

Then again while his eyes were continuously connected with Calum’s and he saw how much he seemed to enjoy himself and how incredibly hot it was to see the man so devotedly and happily sucking his cock he got the feeling that this was not enough. And when he was able to catch a breath he quickly spoke before the pleasure would take him over again completely. “I want to suck yours too.” He clearly stated, no shame in his voice, without a previous warning. “I want us to both feel good simultaneously!” Ash stated, his blue aroused eyes looking at the younger man from head to toe, then travelling up to his crotch and remaining there. He did have an idea how this would go, it had been in his dream after all but he still wasn’t all too sure if the other would be fine with it or if that was just strange.

[Gladis]

Seeing Asher’s expression change in response to the stimulation, and making him moan and groan in delight was a pleasure all onto its own, and Calum loved every second of it. The way Asher’s cock rubbed against his tongue and bumped against the roof of his mouth as he bobbed his head. The feeling of Asher’s hands tangling with his hair, and the way he thrust into his mouth. Well, perhaps the last one ended up catching him slightly off guard, his throat constricting around Asher as his gag reflexes kicked in. He let out a muffled groan, pulling his head back slightly.

 

”I’m sorry,” he gasped as Asher’s cock slid out of his mouth, his chest heaving and falling rapidly and his cheeks flushing bright red. ”I’ve never been particularly good at taking it all at once…” And Asher was big – far bigger than anything he’d had thrust down his throat in the past. Even so he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed about it – almost as though he expected to be teased for it.

 

Having taken a moment to recover, he was just about to resume when Asher spoke, voicing a request that brought a smile upon Calum’s face, his hardening cock twitching in the confine of his trousers. God, he couldn’t wait to get them off. Nevermind his shirt, which in his state felt far too hot to wear.

 

”Alright,” he said, pulling his shirt over his head as he rose to his feet, tossing it aside, ”then get on the bed. It’ll be easier that way.” His fingers worked swiftly to unbuckle his pants, which before long joined his shirt on the floor. His underwear quickly followed, and for the first time since last night he exposed himself to Asher completely. This time, however, he felt neither embarrassment nor shame. He reveled in Asher’s hungry gaze, and made sure he had a good look before he joined him on the bed.

[-Hideki-]

An intense stream of pleasure had overtaken his mind and he was floating away with it, hence he only realised that he had choked Calum by shoving his cock too deep into his throat when the other man gagged, pulled his head back and the burning, throbbing hot flesh of his that glistered from saliva was kissed by the air that felt even colder now and the pleasure abruptly ended making his neglected dick twitch impatiently.

 

His blue eyes looked at the brunette who seemed a little embarrassed when he apologised to him telling him that he wasn’t good at taking the whole length into his mouth. “It’s fine.” The solider said tersely. “I got carried away. I shouldn’t have pushed it into your throat.” He said although it made him feel disappointed as the tightness of the other man’s throat had made him feel incredible and he wanted to feel more of this. Then again he had not wanted to choke him or make him gag but he figured it was a normal response and it made the thought that he was putting his cock where it didn’t belong and that a person’s throat certainly wasn’t made for that come back into his mind.

 

After that he was positively surprised that the younger man reacted that well to him expressing that he wanted to give him head too, that he wanted them to pleasure each other at the same time because he had feared that the other would refrain from taking his dick into his mouth another time fearing that the Xenonian would thrust in too deep again. But there was nothing like this to see on the other man’s face. Calum smiled and he seemed rather happy about the request he had made and seemed as if he couldn’t wait for them to do this telling Ash to get on the bed then before the other man almost hastily undressed himself.

 

The Colonel watched him stripping out of his clothes while he only had to step out of his pulled down pants before he walked over to the bed laying himself down there, his arms crossed behind his head while his lustful eyes roamed over the brunette man’s body outright staring now, devouring him with his eyes, feeling comfortable with the fabric of the sheets against his bare skin and he remembered how he had always slept naked back at home during the summer the only difference had been that seeing his body had made him proud back then in a sense what wasn’t the case anymore as all he saw was severely damaged skin that had healed quite alright for the short amount of time but that wasn’t exactly attractive.

 

Calum on the other hand was handsome, his skin seemed almost smooth what Asher’s had never really been, it had always been rough. His eyes were tracing down the slender body, those rosy nipples, the hints of muscles and the brown pubic hair and the hardening cock between the other’s legs. The blue gaze remained there and his eyes flashed up, more blood flowing downstairs, his mouth watering slightly.

 

The Xenonian still stared when the brunette was moving over towards the bed, his eyes on how the other’s dick moved as he walked. The desire he felt was overwhelming as he burned to touch him, to lick and suck on his dick, to make him feel good and to bury himself deep within him. And the last feeling was by far the most prominent. Asher wanted to be inside of the other, to stick his cock into the tight rosy hole, he wanted to connect his body to Calum’s in this way but they had to go one step at a time as he couldn’t do everything at the same time.

 

Asher pulled Calum over to kiss him, his hand wandering over the man’s torso, his fingers brushing the nipples, stopping there for a moment, rubbing over them, exploring the man’s body. “Would you shift then? So that we can suck each other off?” the foreigner said nodding down into the direction of his erection.

 

He impatiently waited for the younger male to do so and as soon as the man’s dick was tangling over his face he stuck out his tongue, licking the other’s balls, then bringing his mouth to them, pressing his lips onto them before taking in one at a time, sucking on the other man’s balls before he let them pop out with a lewd noise. When his tongue got busy licking over the length, pressing onto the veins on Calum’s cock with his tongue one of his hands was squeezing and fondling his balls, massaging them as he couldn’t just ignore them. There was a salty taste in his mouth that was new to him and the scent of the other’s dick was actually enthralling to him as he was inhaling it. Ash let his tongue slip under the other’s foreskin, letting it circle around the glans before he stopped with the tongue, took the head into his mouth and slightly pulled the foreskin with his lips.

 

Covering his teeth with his lips he then opened his mouth again and began sucking on the tip of the other’s cock, gradually allowing it to bury itself deeper into his mouth, his tongue dancing around the shaft, using some pressure on it. The soldier was bobbing his head slightly as he had seen the other do and he was trying to put the whole length into his mouth what didn’t quite work at the first try as he too gagged even though the other was smaller than him. Having been designed to endure pain and to go through with whatever mission he had he didn’t pull away and tried again although he sometimes felt as if he was choking.

Calum shook his head at Asher’s apology, smiling softly.

 

”It’s alright,” he said, ”You couldn’t possibly have known. Besides, it’s not like I don’t want to be able to do it.” It was just one of those things he’d never gotten around to learning properly, and his lack of a partner the last five years certainly hadn’t helped in that regard. Goodness, five years? Had it been that long already? It was kind of hard to believe. He’d barely been more than a child back then, and to think that he’d been ready to elope with that man! In hindsight he could see that it was silly – even stupid, although it seemed just like something his rebellious seventeen year old self would have done. Of course, it would never have worked out. Even Calum realized that, and so had his partner, which most likely was the reason it never happened.

 

It seemed that Calum had a knack for choosing the most difficult partners. If he didn’t suffer from periodical depression and some sort of mania, he was a thirty plus virgin alien from outer space. But hey, at this point Calum couldn’t even be bothered to care. He was too horny and into what they were doing to think of anything other than how much he wanted Asher to pound him into the sheets.

 

He laughed softly as he was pulled over onto the bed, his slender body falling against Asher’s as he was pulled into a kiss. He returned it with passion, shivering in delight as he felt Asher’s rough hand rub against his nipples. He moaned softly, wantonly into the kiss, pausing when Asher pulled back to give him a much needed reminder of why they had gotten onto the bed in the first place.

 

”Of course,” Calum chuckled, pulling himself into a sitting position. He leaned down to steal another quick kiss before turning around, swinging his leg over Asher’s stretched out form, so that he had one knee firmly placed on either side of his lover, his cock in perfect reaching distance of his mouth. Calum bent over and leaned down, bringing his head down to Asher’s cock, a soft, pleasure ridden gasp parting his lips as his balls were engulfed by the wet heat of Asher’s mouth.

 

Determined not to get too lost in the pleasure, he wrapped his lips around Asher’s glans, swirling his tongue around the tender skin, dipping the slit. He worked his hand around the length to stimulate the parts he couldn’t easily fit into his mouth, using the other to play with Asher’s balls. All the while he was letting out little groans, although it took him a moment to completely realize what Asher was doing. He moaned sharply, accidentally allowing Asher’s cock to slide out of his mouth as he felt Asher’s throat close around his own. It was so tight. So fucking tight and it felt incredible! No wonder he had ended up getting carried away!

 

”Fuck!” He gasped, resisting the urge to thrust his hips as he placed his hand on Asher’s hip to steady himself, ”Gosh, you’re really good at this,” he moaned, his cock leaking pre-cum and his legs quivering as heat and pleasure pulsed through him.

 

And then he pulled out, deciding that he could stand it no more.

 

He turned around, climbing on top of Asher, placing his hand on his cheek, tilting his head up slightly so that he could claim his lips in another heated kiss. ”I want you inside me,” he breathed into Asher’s mouth, and there was a note of neediness in his voice now, ”I want you to fuck me. Please…” and then, realizing Asher might not be entirely sure of how to facilitate that, he added breathlessly, ”use your fingers. To loosen me up. It won’t work otherwise.”

[-Hideki-]

The groans the brunette was letting out were sending vibrations towards Asher’s throbbing dick in the other’s mouth that was leaking quite the amount of pre-cum by now. It felt great and sparks of pleasure were electrifying his body reminding him of the power supply system on Xenon just that his nervous system was transporting pleasure through his body not power. The result was that Ash too let little growls and groans that were muffled down by the dick in his mouth, sending vibration towards Calum’s cock also, out.

 

It felt great and although he wished to feel the tightness of the depth of the young male’s throat again he was already bathing in pleasure not wanting it to end. However the stimulation abruptly came to a halt the moment the soldier was deepthroating Calum who let his cock slide out of his mouth moaning sharply and loudly. Asher’s abandoned cock was twitching and the man wanted the pleasure to continue, he had wanted it to increase not to stop like this. But the brunette seemed to be too overtaken by the pleasure he felt for focussing on pleasing the Colonel as well.

 

Then again it was incredibly hot to hear the other gasping and moaning and exclaiming that he was good at this what only encouraged him to continue like this and to bob his head somewhat faster. Ash could feel how the younger one’s legs and body were quivering in delight at what he did and it aroused and pleased him to make the other man drown in the ecstasy of pleasure.

 

Suddenly the brunette pulled his dick out of Asher’s mouth, strings of saliva attaching the other man’s dick to his mouth, some drool dripping out of the corner of his mouth leaving him somewhat confused as the man had seemed so into this and he couldn’t see why he had pulled out just now. So he was staring at the other curiously when Calum shifted and reached out for his cheeks pressing their lips together again. The soldier returned the kiss, taking it over in what seemed like an attempt to devour the other, leaving him with a shaky breath when the kiss broke.

 

A wave of heat was overcoming his body setting his crotch on fire when the younger one told him that he wanted him inside of him, almost pleading him to fuck him. It was extremely hot and turning him on, his dick was throbbing like crazy wanting nothing more than just that, being buried deep into the other’s tight hole. “I want to be inside you too.” The Xenonian said his voice rather husky, sitting up, holding the slender figure of the brunette against his so that the other wouldn’t just fall off of him.

 

While he waited for Calum to shift he was told to use his fingers what made him raise an eyebrow because the man had not thought about sticking his fingers into the other but about his rock hard, pulsating dick that was yearning for the younger one’s arse, what seemed much more appealing than shoving his fingers into him. But when he heard the other say loosening him up he got aware again where he’d put his cock, that it was a muscle and that the anus wasn’t actually made for this.

 

So when they had gotten into a convenient position Asher got behind him, grabbed the other’s arse, kneading the cheeks before spreading them open, granting him the perfect view on the rosy, tight hole of the brunette. His eyes flashed up hungrily and full of desire when he rubbed over it with his fingers starting to prod the hole some. It was dry except for the little amount of glistering sweat between the arse-cheeks and the muscle strong and tight and he was certain that he should better lubricate it before trying to further enter his fingers much less his dick. Hence he was bending over, his face getting closer and closer towards the other’s hole before he carefully stuck out his tongue and gave it a lick. At first he was rather hesitant, then more eager and with more pressure until he got curious enough to try and enter his tongue somewhat. He used his hands to help spread it open wider moving his tongue slightly inside, then he pulled it out and covered the hole in spit.

 

He then licked two of his fingers and slowly entered one after the other. The muscle was grabbing them tight, the hot insides clenching around the fingers. It felt strange but interesting at the same time. Curiously he moved his fingers inside of the other loosening him up while at the same time feeling him up inside there like a child exploring the fascinations of the world. Feeling Calum’s muscle relaxing he felt that he could move his fingers some more, the tip of his fingers brushing against the other’s prostate, an interested look crossing Asher’s face as he was aiming right for that spot again pressing his fingers onto it firmly, then starting to thrust them against it.

 

After he had toyed the other’s arse with his fingers for a while he couldn’t take it anymore, he was so aroused and horny that he felt like he would vanish if his dick didn’t finally get stimulation again. “Do you think I can put my dick inside of you now?” he asked humming as he was rubbing the throbbing rod between the man’s arse-cheeks and against his twitching tiny hole that was ever so tempting to him.

[Gladis]

Asher’s hands on his buttcheaks felt great, his skin burning wherever he touched, although it did little to abate his impatience. A small shiver traveled down his spine as he felt Asher’s finger prod his hole, only to realize a moment later that he had left out one very important detail in his instructions. Lube. He was about to say as much when before he even had the chance to utter a word, his fears were dismissed by a wet, slippery tongue lapping at his hole. He gasped, grabbing on to the sheets as he felt Asher’s tongue enter him, if only slightly.

 

Calum felt dizzy with arousal and eager for more, and he found himself pushing back against Asher slightly. His cheeks were flushed and he was panting softly, his naked body glistening with sweat – illuminated by the bright, late summer sunlight that streamed through the window.

 

Even so he tensed up when he felt the first digit enter him, a soft whimper spilling past his lips. It didn’t hurt, per see, but it was a feeling one had to get used to. To his credit Asher was going about it gently, and he soon found himself beginning to ease up. ”That’s good,” he encouraged, ”keep going, Asher, you’re doing grea–ah-t!” He cried out, eyes widening and his hand twisting in the linen and the furs as he felt a sudden burst of pleasure. And then again… and again. He moaned, pushing himself back onto Asher’s fingers, his mind and body reeling with the stimulation. Crap, he’d almost forgotten how good this felt.

 

And then it ended, his arse clamping down on Asher’s fingers as he pulled them out – almost as though he was trying to keep them there. Calum groaned softly, his cock twitching in anticipation as he felt Asher’s throbbing shaft rub between his ass cheeks.”It should be fine,” he panted, ”just be careful. Don’t put it all in at once.” Considering Asher had been sensible enough to realize that lubrication was required, Calum didn’t think he would have been anything but carefully. However, it was always better to be safe than sorry.
