Sometimes, the timing is just bad. It's really not his fault, you know that, but the blush rises to your face anyways, tinting your cheeks teal. He whimpers softly, kicking away the skateboard by your feet and reaching out for you, hoping to be held. He presses himself onto you and rocks his hips, and you can feel the heat coming off of him, you can feel how much he wants you. But sometimes the timing is bad.
Kankri stands in front of you, lips pressed tight, eyes open wide. His face is flushed as bright as his sweater, and his breath comes out in quick nervous bursts of air. " I-I don't mean to offend but your matesprit seems a bit, um, you should probably see to him. We can ah, we can talk later at a less inconvenient time, in more depth about how great our friendship is now that we have decided to keep things between us platonic and I can appreciate so much more how good of a friend you are without red feeling clouding my judgement and causing hardship in my decision to remain celibate." His voice squeaks at the last word. A drop of sweat trails down his face and his eyes flit over to yours.
Your heart aches for this boy. You know there is so much that he's left unsaid, things he would never say for fear of offending, but what hurts you the most are what he says when he lies to himself. And you want to console him, lord you would love to, heavens know how much you felt for him, still feel for him. But someone else needs you now. Mituna gets frantic.
"latula why are we here just come COME ALREADY please latula come on don't stay here fuck me FUCK ME let's go!"
He presses his face against your chest and begins to kiss you, always in two's. Two quick pecks and a pause; two deep, sucking kisses. The fabric of your clothes is darkened after each kiss and you can feel your skin becoming moist. Your knees get weak, and you know you have to get somewhere private, and soon.
"kankri, I –oh! Mituna just wait a bit babe—kankri I'm really sorry, Mituna and I need to go...do something.."
Your sentence falls weakly. His shoulders slump. Barely audible, he whispers, "I understand, you two have matters that you need to attend to privately, it's completely understandable."
And as much as you would have loved for him to shut up in any other situation, his silence cuts you now. Mituna pulls you out of your stupor when he bites the very tip of your breast, just hard enough to cause a prick of pain. You glance down at your lover and see his eyes full of need. You glance up at your friend and see the same thing. These two boys who've been your everything for as long as you can remember. You can't just leave Kankri like this. And so you decide, in that split second, knowing full well there would be consequences and not caring a bit. You've made up your mind.
"Kankri listen." Your face burns with embarrassment. "Do you maybe want to join us? I mean I know you're celibate and that's rad, that's what you chose, but.. do you, um, do you want to just be with us?"
He looks down in embarrassment, perfectly reflecting every shame that's running through your mind, and he catches you completely off guard when he nods his head just once, mumbling a quiet yes. He looks up again and you can see in his face that with every fibre of his being he meant it. His eyes tell you, "yes Latula."
You follow kankri to his hive, the closest one around, kissing Mituna so keep him sedated until you get somewhere private. He whines but lets you lead him along. On the way you think, you've never been so embarrassed in your life. You think, you've never been so exited.
