Arby/Master Chief

Chapter 4

The mess hall had also been integrated. Others thought that it would most likely strengthen the alliance. They had managed to make the tables tall enough for a Sangheili to fit under, and the human sized benches were taller with an extra bar to put their feet onto. After getting their food, John had picked an empty table for the two of them. John had on his tray a burger, while Thel had one of those prepackaged voyage rations from the adversary's side of the table. John had unwrapped his burger and took out the lettuce. Then he squirted tomato sauce on the underside of the bun. After he took a small bite, he noticed Thel staring at him. Inside his mind, Thel thought how strange it was that the other was picky about his food. He decided to tease a bit, to see where it would go.

"You're not going to eat that?" Thel asked.

Swallowing, John said, "I don't like lettuce."

"You should not be so barbaric with your food," Thel said. He picked up the leaf with two of his fingers and brought it near John. "Eat it."

He grimaced and pushed away his hand. "No, stop it." Thel was, however, very persistent. He brought his hand to the edge of John's lips. John sighed; he did not feel like dealing with this today. He wanted him to stop and since Thel was not going to let it go, he decided to do the next thing. He slowly parted his lip and started eating the salad. He took Thel's two fingers into his mouth and started coating them with saliva. Thel was quite taken aback. He didn't think John would go so far, but he did. John let out a quiet moan that made Thel's cock start to throb. He withdrew his hand back, a thin trail of saliva connecting from John's lips to his hand.

"Come and get me," John said softly. His eyes stared at him, full of lust. Realizing what he had just said, he clamped a hand over his mouth and stood up. "I'm leaving." He turned away and stormed out the doors. Even though his back was to him, Thel could see the tips of John's ears a bright red. He chuckled and stood up, following the human.

John made his way into the empty shower rooms. He quickly undressed and got into a stall. He turned the faucets around until ice cold water poured down. He dunked his head under the water, trying to numb his mind and body. Deep inside him, he wasn't feeling right. Ever since he had started a…relationship with the Arbiter, things have gotten somewhat out of hand. He couldn't think straight whenever he was near him. His chest ached at the mere sight of him. He just couldn't take all of these emotions anymore! He wanted to shout. He wanted to release all of this tension from his body. He punched the wall out of frustration, creating 1 ft deep dent in the ceramic tiles. He groaned and leaned back against the wall, sliding to the floor. He stayed like that for a while until someone placed a hand on his arm. He looked up, into the concerned eyes of Thel Vadum. He didn't say anything. They just stared at each other.

"Get up," Thel commanded. He placed his hands at John's sides and hefted him up on his feet.

"No," John mumbled, pushing Thel away. "Get away from me."

"Why?" Thel asked. He nuzzled his face against John's and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Because I just don't," John said.

"You can cry if you want," Thel said softly. "You can let it all go now. No one is here with us."

John froze. He didn't say or d anything for a long moment. He just stood there, resting his head against Thel's shoulder. Then, he stood up on his tip-toes and placed a chaste kiss on his mandibles. He wrapped his arms around his neck and embraced him.

"I want to love you," John mumbled. He gave him another kiss and then another. Thel twitched his mandibles, smiling. Then he leaned down and returned the kisses, leaving a grazing mark on John's cheeks.

Oh, sorry for the very long delay...
