Cutty "Franky" Flam

The cyborg closed the door with a soft click, turning around to watch the man behind the table mulling over paper work. He stood there for a moment before the deep voice of the mayor traveled through the air, "How long are you just going to stand there?"

Franky cleared his throat as he walked towards the massive oak desk, "I came to see what you were up to."

The millionaire gave him a blank stare, "You've been the mince of the town recently…" he tapped his pen on the padded armrest, "Tom wouldn't approve."

The thug rolled his eyes, "Why you always gotta bring that up?"

"Why do you always disturb the peace?" Iceberg countered.

The teal haired man groaned in annoyance as he plopped down in the cushioned seat in front of his former colleague, "Can we not talk about that?"

A squeak came from Iceberg's pocket and Tyrannosaurus poked his head out as he sniffed the air. Catching a familiar smell, he quickly climbed out and scampered to Franky, sitting on the blue star on his forearm and curling into himself.

Iceberg watched his pet for a moment before he spoke, "What is it that you want, Franky?"

"It's as I said before, I'm just checking up on you." He mumbled, scratching the mouse's head.

The president of Galley-La glared at the male, "I don't need you to check up on me."

Franky ignored the statement, "How are you and what's his face?"

Iceberg clicked his tongue, "Paulie and I are doing fine."

The half-human hummed as he stood, knocking the mouse off of him, and walked towards the massive bookshelf, running his fingers over the spines of the albums, "I don't like you two together."

"I didn't know I needed your approval to be with someone."

The statement pulled a sigh from Franky, "You're acting like we never happened."

Iceberg was silent as he regarded the half-man half-robot. Their history was sketchy. They fell into each other's arms while staying with one another and after the death of their caretaker, they slowly drifted apart. The fights always revolved around topics of, "Why didn't you do anything to help?" or, "Why did you just stand there?"

The list went on and on.

The dark haired man stood and walked to his former partner, pressing his front to the man's back, "I can never pretend we didn't happen." He said, rolling his hips to the younger's rear, "Trust me, I'll never forget the times we've had." He wrapped his arms around the bulky man, resting his chin on the other's shoulder, "But you're bad for me, Franky, and I can't be with you."

Said man leaned back into the heat of the leaner one, "You keep saying that and I keep telling you that's bullshit. You don't love Paulie like you do me."

The business man groaned when he felt the toned rump press against his groin, "You're right I don't. No one can replace the love I have for you."

Hearing the words made Frank spin around, angry eyes regarding the shipwright, "What the fuck then?"

"We view things too differently. I can't think like you do. It'll take me to a bad place and… I don't like that me. I wouldn't dare ask you to change." Iceberg griped the pointed chin, looking past thick lashes into hardened eyes, "As much as I love you, you aren't good for me. I have to let you go and I need you to accept that."

Franky scoffed, causing the older male to tighten his hold on the man, "I didn't say you had to like it; I just need you to understand."

"So you're giving up on us because of that?"

They stared at each other for a long while before Iceberg whispered, "It's for the best."

Franky pulled out of the grasp, "Fine. I won't come around anymore. Got the message loud and clear."

Before he could make it far, Iceberg snatched at his floral shirt, "How?! How did you get that from what I said?"

"When I came back after years away, people thinking I'm dead, the only thing you had to say to me was: 'take the blueprints and leave'." He mocked, ripping himself away from his former lover, chest heaving and anger written across tan features, "You wanted me gone then, so I left. Killed off Cutty Flam and became guess who?!" The underworld boss held his arms open wide, sarcasm and hurt oozing from his every pore, "Mother fuckin' Franky!"

The silence was heavy but the faint sound of gears turning filled their ears, "And you see, with Franky, you meet to have sex in alleyways when you feel like it!" The inventor shrugged his shoulders, "Oh, no, that's right." He wagged his finger, "It's only when you're drunk." He bellowed a laugh, "Then Bergy finally found himself some ass he can show in public."

Iceberg twitched and he took a deep breath in to calm himself.

When Franky saw his jaw quivering he chuckled, "Oh, so you're mad now?" He scoffed, "Super."

The cyborg spun on his heels and marched towards the door. The patter of feet alerted him that the older man was moving but before he could react, a leathery hand clasped his shoulder and his feet were taken from under him as the owner of the hand ran him into a wall.

A picture frame fell off its mount and Iceberg growled when it smashed to the ground, shattering the glass into pieces. "I was fucking happy to see you alive! How many nights did I lose sleep thinking how I lost it all; my family AND the love of my life?!" Iceberg shook the man so hard he could hear bolts rattling around, "How crushed was I?!" He pulled Franky off the wall only to slam him back into it, "Do you even know who CP5 are?!"

The excessive jerking of Franky's shirt made his head slap the unyielding concrete repeatedly, "Do you know how dangerous they are?! What they could do to you?!" Iceberg released the other male with a shove, "They killed Tom in front of us…" He ran his fingers through his hair and took a step back, "All for a fucking ship."

Their eyes met and he sighed, fatigue marring his features, "What do you think they will do to you when they find you?" He shook his head, "I can't watch it again." He was drained; the anger left his body as quickly as it came, "So yeah, I found Paulie. He's safe. No reason for them to come asking questions. They keep watch on Galley-La. Another reason I told you to stay away but yet you play cops and robbers on the streets."

The mayor gave a disappointed look to the man with his back against the wall before he walked to his desk, "Do what you want, Franky. I'm done trying to get you to see that I'm protecting you."

Said man crept towards the polished furniture, "I can take care of myself. What I want, Iceberg, is for you to love me."

Bare knees hit the front of the hard wood and both men stared at each other. The air around them was no longer as tight as it was when the conversation had started. Iceberg walked around the obstacle to Franky's side. When he reached him, long fingers traced the smooth skin covering the steel chin, "But I can't help but want to protect you."

Iceberg pulled him in closer, planting a chaste kiss to chapped lips, "Just let things be, Franky."

The half-man grumbled under his breath, "Just let it be." He looked into his lovers eyes and sighed, "Fine."

The older pulled away slightly, "That's it?"

"No."

The president sighed, "What now, Cutty?"

Flam yanked the mayor to him, "If I have to watch you be happy with someone else for the rest of my life, then the least you can do is give me one time."

Blank eyes regarded his former lover, "One fuck and we can let this rest?"

"Yes."

"You'll lay low? Stop playing around in the streets and stay safe?"

Franky waved his hand, "Yeah, yeah."

"And you'll leave Paulie alone?"

He snorted steam from his nostrils, "You askin' a fuckin' lot, but fine. We got a deal?"

Iceberg gave a curt nod before he loosened his tie, but slim fingers froze in place as he stared absentmindedly at the wall. He turned to Franky, "We'll do this right."

The shipwright opened his mouth but shut it with an audible click when a kiss was placed to his forehead before his shades were removed and tossed to the side. His breath hitched when firm lips planted a kiss behind his ear as his head was tilted back, bearing his throat to the man above him.

The two-toned hair disappeared from his line of sight but he could feel the sucking and scraping of teeth on his shoulder as his floral shirt was removed. The material crumpled to the floor and Franky moaned when the juncture of his neck was bitten. His large hands grasped at the mayor's suit, "You still know where to touch."

Iceberg chuckled as he shrugged out of his jacket, "How could I ever forget?" He lifted the cyborg and placed him on the desk, straining a little, "Damn, you've gotten heavy."

Cutty bit his lover's earlobe, "Don't be that way."

The pair laughed and when they settled down, Iceberg leaned back and ran his thumb over Franky's dry lips. He slid his hands down artificial skin, gliding over sensitive buds as he neared his goal. He grabbed the edges of the black briefs and began to slide them down slim hips. Franky helped by lifting himself and when they were removed, his bum met the cold wood, making him shiver.

Massive fingers reached out and began popping the buttons to the expensive dress shirt, "I'm naked and you're still clothed."

Quickly discarding of the clothing, Iceberg kneeled before Franky, spreading his legs so he could see his flaccid penis. "Lean back." He commanded, groaning softly when the order was followed and he was rewarded with the sight of the younger's wrinkled opening.

He massaged toned thighs as he spat in one hand. He palmed the entrance before pushing a finger into the cyborg. He was cool on the inside but tight and each man moaned at the feeling. Iceberg pulled his finger out and his dick twitched when he saw it was covered in a slick substance. He slid the wet digit back in, accompanying the first finger with a second one, "You added a lubing system?"

Franky grabbed at the papers on the desk. His gears began to speed up as his heart pounded in his chest. "It's good to always be prepared." He gasped a chuckle when he felt three fingers prodding his prostate, "Desk fantasy much?"

Iceberg kissed the half hardened member in front of him, "I've fucked you on plenty of desks."

Cutty hissed when the tip of his head was nibbled on, "Not on this one."

Oiled fingers were removed from the half-man with a pop and moved to grasp the owner's penis. Slow strokes were given as he spread the mixture of lube and pre-cum down his length, "Time to change that."

Iceberg smashed his lips to the man he loved as he pushed his head past the tight ring of muscle, muffling the pained groan from the younger man. When they parted, Franky traced the ink imbedded onto the skin of his lover's upper arms, "Last time."

The older male let out a sad chuckle before he thrusted into the ready body, molding their lower bodies together. Iceberg pulled out to the tip and slid Franky down onto him, controlling the slow tempo of their love making.

So entranced by seeing himself disappear inside the other, Iceberg didn't notice the tears escaping his lover's eyes. It wasn't until Franky hiccupped a groan did he look up at the soaked face. The sight gave a tug to his heart but he said nothing to comfort the man. Instead he sped up his strokes, understanding that it was all he could do for the cyborg. Saying goodbye and sorry with each pounding of hips against ass.

Franky wiped his face before he sat up, throwing Iceberg off his balance mid-thrust. Taking advantage of the situation, he planted his feet on the desk and pushed himself off it. Both men fell to the floor, Iceberg still buried deep inside the cyborg.

Now on top and with the help of his robotics, Franky set a gruesome pace, bouncing on the hard cock with vigor. Iceberg clawed at the carpet, overwhelmed at the change of positions. He muttered obscenities under his breath as he gripped his partner's calf, "Shit, Franky, I'm close."

He came shortly after the comment, filling the hot hole with his essence, jerking his hips upward. Franky watched Iceberg's eyes roll to the back of his head and his lips formed into a shitty grin as he continued to ride the man. He felt the organ twitching every time it spurted his seed and when it lost some of its firmness, Franky groaned; he knew he was near.

He leaned down to whisper seductive words in his lover's ear, "Remember the way you feel right now." His cock slapped washboard abs every time he seated himself, "He can't make you feel this way and you're losing the only person who can."

Iceberg's member hardened at the words and he flipped them over so could look Franky in the eyes, fucking the tight hole until he found his completion for the second time. The underground boss gasped Iceberg's name as he finally came, steam escaping through the pores of slick skin.

He didn't pull out of Franky as they caught their breaths. Instead he intertwined their fingers and pressed a kiss to his sweaty forehead, "I will never forget you, Franky."

Said man patted the mayor's muscular buns, "I know you won't." He planted one last kiss on dark lips before pushing Iceberg off of him.

Both stood and began to dress, sneaking glances at each other. When they were fully clothed, Iceberg sat behind his desk and Franky made his way towards the door. The bionic man picked up the fallen picture frame and placed it on the nearby table, "There's word a pirate ship docked just this morning. I'll make sure it's nothing and…" He put his hand on the doorknob, "Thank you, Iceberg. I love you… be happy."

With that, he left the presence of the man he loved.
