Title: A Man Forbid
Fandom: ST2009
Genre: Romance/Hurt/Comfort
Pairing: Sulu/Chekov
Rating: M, for heavily implied lovemaking
Summary: Chekov tries to cope with his one failure, and Sulu tries to help.
He can't sleep. He hasn't been able to for two weeks now, not since the Narada Incident and the destruction of Vulcan. He sits in a chair, curled up and hating himself for the one thing he fucked up.
He couldn't keep that one lock on, and Commander Spock's mother died.
Sulu sits beside him, shifting the Russian into his lap. He wraps an arm around his waist and presses a gentle kiss to his jaw. "Pav, please. You need sleep."
"I cannoht. I failed, and zat failure killed– " Sulu cuts him off with a fierce kiss.
"Nobody could've saved her. You know that. Don't hate yourself for not being perfect." Sulu moves his hand to cup his young lover's (oh, how lovely it is to finally be able to call him that!) face and kisses him again, this time more gently.
Chekov is shaking in his arms, but he deepens the kiss, hands carding in Sulu's hair. It makes Sulu's mind reel off into the void of outer space, but not before he wonders if Pavel's intentionally trying to change the topic of conversation to something they'd both prefer to "talk" about. He can hardly breathe when Chekov pulls away and whispers, "Help me forget, Heekaru, if only for a little vhile. Please."
"Any way I can, if you let me." Sulu can't keep his head on straight as he speaks, gasping outright when Chekov brazenly turns and straddles him, pressing down against his hips.
They fumble with each other's clothes, moaning whenever skin slides against skin, and barely make it to the bed before their legs give out and they're lost to pure sensation and lust and the carnal pleasures of young men.
When they are spent and breathe again, they know that this is love, and that this love can heal all of their hurts.

Author's Note: This is the sequel to "Seventeen Forever." It's angstier and pornier, because my lovely beta, Panda-chyan, wanted it so. She's a huge Sulu/Chekov fan, and I had to oblige. Oh, and, by the way, if anybody gets the reference in the title, they get much love!
