Part 2 of my 57 pairings challenge I made for myself. A link to my deviantart is on my profile and you can see the full list there.
Enjoy!
Vort, even after it had been freed from Irken control, was not a planet that Dib liked visiting. The people were a tad bit condescending, when talking about his 'partnership' with Lard Nar, as they would put it (not accepting a union with another species) and treated him as though he were a grade A moron… Like they were the only ones in the universe who knew anything about science. Dib was sure if his father were given the opportunity…
And as hard has he had fought for their freedom, they made it quite obvious they didn't want him there.
Perhaps that was why, even though Lard Nar was always homesick and clearly enjoyed being on his home planet, that their visits were short and sparse and Dib was allowed to stay indoors most of the time.
Their relationship and the comfort of their other meant everything to them… (Which was also why Dib would NEVER ask Nar to come to Earth, but that was another story entirely.)
This time was like every other, Dib would get glares from the other Vortians and hear biting comments mumbled in the halls. It didn't bother him, personally. He had spent most of his life being ridiculed by his own planet, why would some unrelated arrogant asshole aliens bother him?
No, what bothered him was the way it affected Lard Nar. His lover tried not to show that he was bothered or embarrassed, because he loved Dib and didn't want to hurt him. But Dib knew… He wasn't bothered by it as much as Lard Nar thought he would be. The human knew that this was a new situation and the Vortian's were just going to have to learn to rid themselves of their ethnocentrism. Perhaps in the future they could…
But their visits were kept short for now and always, immediately upon arriving home, Dib would make sure to show Lard Nar exactly how little he cared about what goes on the Planet Vort. He would cover the Vortian's body in kisses and gentle nibbles, stroking his horns, making love to him until they were both immobile from exhaustion and making sure his Captain knew how much Dib loved him…. No matter what anyone else said.
