(Barbarchi City, Archipelago)
(Trayden's Apartment)
Trayden and Hunter were still having a great time drinking casually and chatting with one another. Trayden and Hunter had also put on YouTube for background ambience, though, they tuned into the videos between topics, which would usually start a new topic because they'd talk about the video. Trayden knew that Hunter was not likely to be going home tonight, not so much because of the alcohol consumption because Hunter wasn't wasted, but that Hunter was trying to soak up as much time as he could with Trayden since there was no telling when they could hangout again. Trayden would be looking for a new job, then once found, working again, and Hunter did still have his work in practicing or making new routines for the upcoming reopening of Wild Fantasies. Obviously, not all hangouts would be just them either, or the rest of their friends would likely end up jealous or assuming the two had a secret relationship going on. Now, maybe it wasn't Hunter and Trayden secretly dating one another, but the two were finding times to hangout to get to know one another better, and also to keep up with their arrangement of Hunter helping Trayden get used to things with a male.
In either of the cases, it was suspected by Hunter and Trayden that their other friends would probably make a big deal out of things, so it was easier not to say anything at all. For now, of course. Currently, the two were watching a long video compilation of funny fails that had them laughing hard throughout the entire time. When it finally ended, Trayden had to pause the video that started next so they could catch their breath.
"That was hilarious," Trayden stated, finally calming some.
"Definitely!" Hunter nodded in agreement. "Wow, I haven't had a good laugh like that in forever,"
"Same," Trayden replied. "For me, it's more haven't had this much fun in forever. Not that I didn't have a good time hanging with the others, but sometimes it's just easier and less hectic to chill with one person over a large group of people,"
"Right?" Hunter agreed. "What now? More epic fail videos until we can't breathe or switch to movie? Unless you have something else in mind? I'm down for whatever as long I get to do it with you. And you can take that any context you like," He winked as Trayden felt his cheeks heat up, and knew he was blushing. "But while you decide, I'm gonna use your bathroom," Hunter got up and made his way down the hall to get to the restroom.
Trayden took a shuddering breath, it was hard not to get turned on when Hunter used that suggestive tone that Trayden didn't need to really think about what Hunter was hinting at when he gave Trayden the option to choose which context the sentence could be taken. At the moment, Trayden was just trying to get his head together, and mentally prepare himself for what could happen tonight, so he was reclined back on the couch, relaxing, and eyes closed. The only thing that pulled Trayden from his thoughts was feeling a shadow over him, Trayden opened his eyes to see Hunter leaning over him closely, but before Trayden could say anything, Hunter pressed his lips to Trayden's. Of course, as surprising as it was, Trayden happily returned the action and let it go on for a few moments until Hunter pulled back when it was about to turn into making out. Trayden gave a small whine of displeasure that the kissing stopped and Hunter chuckled a little.
"I swear you like to torture me on purpose…" Trayden mumbled.
"I like the faces and sounds you make," Hunter informed. "I told you your shy innocence is a turn on, so I like to catch you off guard and then see what happens when I stop once you're getting into it,"
"That's just plain mean," Trayden rolled his eyes.
"But it's oh so enjoyable to see you how you react," Hunter grinned. Trayden huffed, folding his arms over one another. "Come on…Lose the pout, you know you can't be mad at me. I'm too cute and irresistible," He mentioned as Trayden arched a brow. "I am not the one who came up with such terms to describe me, that was Jason and Eli," He added.
"Maybe that's them, but it's not me," Trayden remarked.
"That's so true," Hunter smiled. "Alright, you win," He leaned closer, batting his eyes with a pout of his own. Trayden knew what he was doing and closed his eyes.
"I have four younger siblings, and plenty of ex-girlfriends who gave me the same look. It didn't work with them, it won't with you, hotshot," Trayden stated.
Hunter blinked a few times, surprised. "Oof, you're gonna be a hard one to figure out. The smile alone works with Eli and Jason,"
"That's because they're horndogs and arousal outweighs trying to be mad at you," Trayden informed. "I'm not so easy,"
Hunter tapped his chin, thinking. Trayden peered at him slightly, and saw Hunter adjust to climb over onto his lap, straddling him and the Hunter set his hands on Trayden's shoulders. Trayden's eyes were now open to see Hunter staring at him with a soft serious look. "I'm sorry for torturing you, handsome," Hunter moved his hands to be caressing Trayden's cheeks now. "I promise I will attempt to do it less…And I'll make it up to you too. Anything you want. Can you forgive me?" He asked gently.
"Anything, huh?" Trayden asked as Hunter nodded his head quickly and with a hopeful look in his eyes. Trayden shifted a bit to sit up more, keeping himself from groaning at the feeling of Hunter moving in a way that caused him to grind against Trayden's nether region. It was getting harder keep his arousal in check. Trayden leaned up to kiss Hunter's lips briefly, then pull back and look at him again. "I forgive you. And I don't mind some torture, but bear in mind that if you're torturing me and getting off on it, where does that leave me?" He reminded. Hunter blinked at what Trayden said, he was now smiling again. "Isn't it better when you share the fun?"
"Much better," Hunter replied. "And I love that's how you chose to word it," He smiled.
"It fit the moment. I grew up learning that it was always better to share and then both could have a good time. Also, an awesome friend taught me that everything you do is always amazing if done with a friend," Trayden chuckled.
"I'll have to keep that one in mind," Hunter laughed some. "I am sorry for torturing you. Part of it is to see reactions and the other bit is making sure we don't get too lost in the moment," He mentioned. "I don't want us to lose control in blinded arousal after drinking and going too far…" Hunter confessed, which made Trayden look at him seriously. "I know we've had a few and it's easier to give into desire when there's alcohol involved, so if we're anything beyond buzzed…And about to start making out, I stop so I don't lose control with you…I wouldn't forgive myself," He added, bringing his hands down and preparing to get off Trayden's lap.
Trayden stared a few moments, taking what Hunter said in. Trayden might as well use this to tell Hunter what he wanted in a more suggestive way. "And what if I wanted us to get lost in the moment?" Trayden asked, causing Hunter to halt his movements of getting up and looking into Trayden's eyes.
"You know m-," Hunter started.
"Your rule is as long as it's what I want it and are ready," Trayden interjected. "So what would you do if I gave you the okay to keep going?"
"That's a loaded question," Hunter replied. "What exactly would you be giving me the okay to keep going with?"
"Getting lost in the moment," Trayden answered. Hunter arched a confused brow at Trayden now.
"The reply still depends on the context of getting lost in the moment," Hunter said. "The assumed meaning would be that if I had the okay to keep going while lost in the moment, then it would eventually be us having sex on said night," He told Trayden. "Is that what you're asking for tonight?"
Trayden blushed. "Maybe…"
"Maybe?" Hunter inquired. "Tray, I told you I'm down for whatever as long as it's what you want and are ready, but you also gotta be straight with me on what it is you want," He reminded. "I'm not understanding what you're asking for, handsome, and we have to be on the same page. Remember? I'm doing this at your pace, so I need you to tell me where you're at for me to get there. You have to show me where the line is in this keep going theory. Are you asking to go all the way?" Hunter stared.
Trayden knew he should have just said it, he was not good with suggestive and needed to work on it. Trayden was hoping to make it a little sexy, but that had clearly failed. "I was trying to ask if we could just…See where it goes," Trayden mumbled a little, glancing down. Hunter lifted Trayden's chin up so their eyes would meet again.
"Come on…Talk to me," Hunter offered. "You're not in trouble, and I'm not upset…I just want to understand what it is you want. Remember that whole thing in the beginning on Christmas Eve where there was a lot of things said but the meaning was unclear? And also on Christmas where I thought you wanted everything when you wanted to take it slow? I can't read you perfectly, and even face to face like this…You're giving me a lot of words with no context, and I don't want to misread anything and ruin it for us. More so, you," Hunter smiled then pecked Trayden's lips. "Tell me what you want,"
"Okay, so you just brought up that you stop our kisses from getting to heavy when we've been drinking because you don't want to lose control with me unless we're on the same page and it just kind of hit me that I've checked off all three of those boxes last night after reading you said," Hunter stayed calm with a gentle smile, listening. "So I thought perhaps we could just…Get lost in the moment and see where it goes, rather…How far. My...Mindset is at wanting and ready to do it all right now, or has been since last night. But I used maybe in the context that you have drilled into my brain it's always my choice, I'm in control, and if at any time I wanted to take a break or stop for any reason, then we would…" Trayden explained.
"You know…Could have saved a lot of time and confusion by saying let's lose it to desire and I'll draw the line if I feel like I need to," Hunter chuckled a little.
Trayden blushed. "I was trying to make it suggestive and flirty where you just say if that's what you want and are ready, then remember you're in control before kissing me because I found it really hot that you jumped in my lap and I like the idea of you not stopping unless I tell you to…" He muttered.
"And if this were previously discussed, I would have done exactly that," Hunter stated calmly. "But as I mentioned, handsome…The last time you said you wanted this and were ready for it all, you withdrew and laid down your pace because you didn't want to go through everything that night. Here we are two weeks later from that gradual pace, and you have seriously sped up the original pace you set to let's just go with it and you'll tell me if you want to stop. Which, I'm fine with. I told you I'll never get upset if you suddenly want to stop for any reason at all…But I did tell you that you needed to keep me updated on changes to avoid situations like this where I was unsure of what you wanted," He reminded.
"I was going to say something last night had everything not gone crazy," Trayden said.
"Understandable about last night, but you also had all day before now when you wanted me to just go for it that I could have had warning you wanted that and we would be well into it by this point," Hunter winked. "I told you, I'm only this cautious and making sure of everything because it's your first time with a male and I can't read you like I can Eli and Jason, who make their wants crystal clear without having to say a word and are not strangers to male intimacy. I don't have to hold back with them, it's more of a check like, we still doing this and then we're in it," He smiled. "After your first time doing everything, I'll probably do the same thing with you. But until that time comes to pass, I have make sure of what you want,"
Trayden saw what Hunter meant now. "You know that if I wasn't checking and we just did it, I'd stop if you wanted to, but with a first-timer, I prefer that prior knowledge of how things will go. Know what I mean? I don't want to jump in without understanding and have someone get scared or panicked with how fast things are happening," Hunter continued. "I mentioned before that most of the time handjobs, blowjobs, and even fingering are just pre-game for me and in a heated, drunken hookup with a first-timer…That gets overwhelming quickly, usually resulting in the person freaking out for it to stop, and that can be something that ruins the experience, which, as the first time, can make someone scared of next time or even every time," He reminded.
"Because there's already nervousness in doing things the first time, so someone getting scared during that wouldn't erase the fear…It would make it worse and never really be gone, there's always be worry of the partner they're with doing the same thing," Trayden recalled when Hunter and he discussed it.
"That's right," Hunter nodded gently. "And I told you on more than one occasion that I don't want that happening to you, handsome," He smiled and pecked Trayden's lips before pulling back. "Now, just so I'm getting this…You want to do everything? That's your mindset, going all the way?" Trayden nodded his head a few times. "But if we get to a certain point where you've decided not quite there or it's becoming overwhelming, you say something and we break or stop depending on your decision?" Hunter asked as Trayden nodded again. "Okay, and what is going all the way define as? Meaning that with rimming off the table for both of us, all that's left for you to experience in receiving is being fingered and fucked. Or are you referring to everything in the context of giving and receiving?" He inquired.
"Not that I'm expecting anything done to me, but as I've said…Everything can be taken different ways, it depends on the participants," Hunter added after a moment. "Again, the example of Eli and Jason…Everything with them is giving and receiving, whether it's me and Jason, Eli and I, or three-way. But for someone new to this, like you, you're a first-timer to receiving and giving. So when you say lose control, get lost in the moment, and keep going to see where it goes…Is it in regards to you going all the way in receiving, or both? Because remember, you and I have only made out several times, then done one hand and blowjob two weeks ago," He informed lightly. "I'm just looking for that clarification,"
"I know, I'm not holding your cautiousness against you," Trayden giggled a little. "I also think it's kind of cute,"
"I'm glad that you find my care of a friend is cute," Hunter smiled. "Now tell me what me and my super cute partner are doing or we'll be here all night torturing ourselves with desire, but never getting to the giving into it part,"
Trayden laughed a little because he found this interesting. Right now, he wasn't really all that nervous and shockingly, it didn't feel awkward to be having an in-depth conversation about what they were about to do. Trayden just felt relaxed with Hunter, and perhaps that's what was keeping him from being a blushing, nervous wreck. "I assumed you were going to be here all night anyway," Trayden replied. "I'm sure you're not too far gone from drinking that you couldn't drive home, but also that you're attempting to soak up all the time you can with me as there's no telling how much we'll get when I start working again,"
"Okay, true as that is…I still don't think you want to be starting all this at an overly early hour of the morning," Hunter chuckled. "So come on…" He coaxed.
"Well, I guess I'd put it at both," Trayden said as Hunter arched a brow. "I should have worded that better," He sighed at realizing how it sounded. "I mean that I want to do everything, receiving and giving, but on the giving side…I suppose I just don't want to do anything wrong. Like, I know what there is to do and I know how it works, but obviously, reading or seeing is not the same as doing,"
"I get what you're saying, don't worry," Hunter nodded, understanding. "Alright, so why don't we do this," He paused. "We can switch off. I do something to you, and then you can do it back. Monkey see, monkey do thing. Me going first let's you see and feel it, and then you can just copy it. Obviously, with me, you don't have to be as slow or gentle, but always play on the side of careful with blowjobs or fingering. It's far easier than most would think to scrape your teeth on a dick, and also accidentally nick someone's ass with your nails while fingering," He smiled while explaining. "And for any kind of penetration, there is no such thing as too much lube. Also, condoms every time you're having anal sex. Always remember that,"
"I like your idea of switching," Trayden stated.
Hunter smiled as he leaned closer, hands shifting to be around the back of Trayden's neck and staring into his eyes. "So with all this taken care of…I suppose there's only one question left to ask,"
"Hm?" Trayden wondered.
"Are we doing it on the couch or in your room?" Hunter asked.
Trayden leaned up to kiss Hunter, but broke it before it Hunter could try and make it deeper. Trayden giggled a little at Hunter's pout of protest that it stopped. "Not so fun to get into it and stop is it?" He grinned.
"Oh. Oh, was this revenge?" Hunter blinked.
"Yep. I wanted to see your reaction," Trayden chuckled.
"I'm gonna have to watch out for you, could be dangerous or interesting when you come out of your shell completely," Hunter mentioned.
"All the fun is in waiting to see which it'll be," Trayden winked. "In the meantime…We can go to my room," He added. Hunter laughed, shaking his head. The two calmed down a bit as Hunter moved in more. "Kiss me…" Trayden invited. And that's just what Hunter did, he kissed him.
