Snake felt Grubber gently coax him to his feet, but his eyes were too blurred with tears to see anything. He heard Arturo yell at Ace – with a voice that was far too big for him – as he was led from the shack. Billy was stood at the door, but made way for the two to leave. In the sunlight, Snake began to cry. Grubber patted him gently on the shoulders.
"Pffthhbt pff Thhlpt." (Let me look at the cut on your cheek.)
Snake winced as Grubber's long, deft fingers softly probed his cheek.
"Tphthhhpt ptpth thhppt." (It's not as bad as I thought. The bleeding has stopped anyway – I can patch it up.)
But Snake shook his head sadly.
"It'ss okaysss, G-Grubber." He sniffed. "Isss can patch itsss up myssselfss. I jussst...I wantsss to go homesss now."
"Pthhpt? Pthhh ppttphtp thhhpt, pffp?" (Are you sure? Do you want me to walk you to the station, at least?)
"N-nosss. I-Isss jusst needss to be alonesss for a bitsss."
Grubber didn't look entirely convinced as he looked back, to the point that Snake thought he was going to insist on joining him. But instead he seemed to reconsider and nodded in assent.
"Phtthp...Ptph thhpptht pffthp." (Okay, Snake...just take things easy.)
Snake smiled weakly and nodded, turning and hurrying away. He had been walking for a few minutes when he heard Big Billy's voice shouting in the distance.
I guesss Blindie wasss wrong – they did defend messs after allsss...
He stopped in his tracks, hugging himself tightly.
But Bindie wasss rightss about one thing – he tried to rapesss me. Accce tried to rapesss me!
Tears spilled down his cheek, making him wince as some trickled over his split cheek. He choked back a sob, pressing his knuckles gently to his lips.
Iss knew that Accce wassn't happy about messs dating ssomeoness, but...
He remembered the look on Ace's face when he had managed to escape from his grip when they were on the couch, the viciousness of his words.
"Maybe I never counted on yous being an ungrateful little slut and thinkin' ya could go off with other guys, huh?"
The words had horrified and wounded him – they had almost sounded as though they had been coming from someone else. Sure, Ace was a jerk to him, but to say those things right after apologising...to try and force him into sex...
I felt filthysss before, when I'd sssaid yesss, but when Iss sssaid nosss...
His shoulders trembled, more tears filling his eyes until he could hardly see. He let out a sob, then another, and another, until it was all he could do to stay standing.
It wasn't fair – he'd been so happy up until this point! Why had Ace had to go and ruin it? Why had he let him get close enough to do it in the first place?
He had to get home – he wanted to go home to his sister...
...no...not Belinda...ssshe'll jussst tell me ssshe told me ssso and get madsss...
I want HIM...I wantss my boyfriendsss!
Through his cries he heard the change in the air current that accompanied HIM's arrival and departure; familiar thanks to their recent dates. He wiped his eyes and saw pink clouds dispersing to reveal HIM looking down at him. One look was enough to cause his lover's face to fall.
"Snake?" He reached out to place his claws against Snake's forearms. "Sweetheart, what's the matter?"
Snake fell into his arms and burst into tears. He felt his lover hesitate for a second, before pulling him closer.
"Oh no! Hush now, my pet, hush, hush." He soothed in his soft, musical voice. "You're safe now..."
But his face fell when Snake looked up at him and he saw the wound on his face. Pulling him close with one claw, HIM gently pressed the other against the damaged flesh.
His eyes began to flash and his face twisted with rage.
"Who dared to touch you?" The voice was low, yet Snake felt the air around them tremble with his lover's fury. When he replied, his own voice was barely above a whisper.
"A-Accce..."
He was released from HIM's grip, and he turned to see the demon flying in the direction of the shack. Horrified, he ran after him.
"HIM, no, pleasssse." He sobbed. "Pleasssse don't-"
"He hurt your face, Snake." HIM growled, glancing back at him. "He cannot get away with this."
"Don't hurtsss him..."
"Oh, I'm not going to hurt him, my sweet one..."
Before Snake had a chance to respond, Ace stepped out of the shack. At any other time, seeing his 'tough guy' act while the others stared at HIM in horror would have been hilarious...
Ace's expression changed rapidly to recognition, then to horror, before HIM thrust out a claw and caught him by his throat, lifting him into the air.
"YOU CUT HIS FACE!" HIM roared, making Snake stop dead in his tracks. He could only watch as his lover flung the teenager's body violently into an old car. As Ace screamed in pain, Snake covered his face in his hands with a cry, feeling the tears begin anew.
"That's your new boyfriend?!"
He turned to see Arturo, Billy and Grubber staring at him, open-mouthed.
"I-Isss...Isss didn't knowsss how to tellsss yousss..." he whispered. "Isss thought youss wouldn't believe messs."
The others looked more scared than angry – Snake could hardly blame them. He would have been exactly the same in their shoes. Arturo looked about ready to speak, when HIM towered over Ace.
"Little BRAT!" He howled. "You DARE to touch one who is precious to me?! You DARE to HARM HIS FLESH, which you are barely worthy to even LOOK AT?! YOU DARE?!"
Ace lay there, frozen in terror and unable to do anything but stare back at HIM. Snake could see him trembling, even at this distance. Even after what he had done, Snake couldn't help but pity him. Yet...
At the sight of HIM willing – and able – to leap to his defence, he felt his heart flutter...as well as something within the depths of his belly, stronger than it had during their dates.
I'msss getting turned onsss! Watchingsss HIM beat Accce up for me isss turning me onsss!
He kept his hands pressed to his cheeks to conceal the reddening scales, and watched HIM raise himself off the ground. His eyes were flashing; they reflected in the broken windshield behind Ace. Snake's eyes widened as he saw Ace's eyes squeeze shut.
"Your suffering will be legendary..."
Snake gasped, tears spilling once again from his eyes as he realised that HIM planned to do far worse than beat the teenager. Without thinking, he dashed forward and stepped between his lover and Ace.
"Nosss!"
He stared straight up at HIM, stretching his arms out wide. As soon as he appeared, he was relieved to see the light in HIM's eyes die out and replaced by a confused look. With a pleading look in his tearful eyes, Snake pressed his hands against HIM's warm chest.
"Pleasse, HIM, don't hurtsss him any moress..." he pleaded, his voice ragged with tears. Looking down, HIM seemed almost flustered.
"But, my pet – look what he did to your face!" His voice was back to normal, which was something. Snake winced softly as his cheek stung, almost in agreement with his boyfriend's protests.
For a moment, he hesitated, remembering the scream of pain Ace had made when HIM had flung his body into the car. Sure, he didn't want Ace to get away with hitting him after almost raping him, but he was pretty confident that HIM would have gone far beyond vengeance. He moved a little closer.
"I-I knowss, but...I don't want yousss to hurt him. I...Iss jusst wantss to go. Can'tsss we jussst go? Pleasse?"
As he had hoped, HIM reached over and pulled Snake into an embrace
"Okay, okay my pet." He soothed. Snake sighed with relief, allowing himself to snuggle into HIM's arms. He caught a quick glimpse of Ace, hoping his injuries weren't too severe, as they were surrounded by pink. He smiled up at HIM, weakly so as not to hurt his face.
"Wheress are wesss going?" He asked softly.
"Back to my place, so I can fix your cheek." HIM replied.
No sooner had he spoken, the clouds parted and Snake found himself in what had to be his boyfriend's lounge. At first, everything seemed to be normal: a television set in front of a lilac and pink couch and well-loved armchair, and the floor was covered in a light pink carpet. Some other furniture: a coffee table, a chocolate brown rug, and a small table with a telephone on it, seemed strangely ordinary.
Then, he looked up.
"Ohsss..."
There were no walls, and there was no ceiling. Where those should have been was a moving, undefinable mass that could only be thought of as Chaos. Snake was sure he could see scenes from old movies playing in the empty air. Floating around were fragments of earth, on which he could see the other rooms of HIM's house.
"Howsss...howsss do youss manage to get anythingsss done?"
HIM looked around as though seeing the chaos for the first time. He seemed to consider for a moment before shrugging.
"You get used to it." He replied, leading Snake to the couch. "Now, let's fix that cut."
Snake obeyed, letting himself be guided to a seat while HIM sat next to him. A bowl full of water and a small cloth appeared in HIM's lap, which Snake looked down at.
"Well, I want to get it clean first." The demon replied, dipping the cloth into the water before pressing it to Snake's cheek. "Hold still, my pet – this might sting."
"I'm finesss." Snake protested. "I thoughtsss you could jussst heal it away."
"Obviously, but it's gone all..." HIM wrinkled his nose in disapproval and Snake bit back a smile "...crusty! I need to be able to see what I'm doing...oh, it's bleeding again."
He applied a gentle pressure to the wound. Once again, Snake felt the sting disappear beneath HIM's claw, just as it had with the bruise. When HIM removed the cloth, Snake ran his fingers across his uninjured cheek.
"Th-Thanksss." He murmured. HIM put the bloodied cloth back in the bowl and the two vanished, much as they had arrived. HIM frowned, but it was a petulant expression rather than an angry one.
"I wish you hadn't stopped me earlier." He sulked. Snake looked at him.
"Yousss were going to killsss him!"
"So what? Do you think I don't know what he wanted to do to you?"
"He didn't dessserve to diesss for thatsss!"
At this, HIM pouted and glanced away.
"You could have let me carry on for a little longer – enough to break an arm or something..."
"HIMssss..."
"Well, you could have! As it stands, he's gotten away with nothing more than a teensy bruise!"
Snake found himself chuckling at his boyfriend's sulky tone. The demon was sat with his back against the couch, arms folded and slumped against the cushions. His lips were still curled into a pout. In spite of that, Snake still thought he looked pretty sexy, especially given his more recent actions.
"I thinkssss it wasss more than a teensssy bruise, HIM." He purred, leaning closer and placing a hand on his arm. The demon stopped pouting and glanced at him, the sulky expression now a mixture of curiosity and surprise. Snake bit his bottom lip, and smiled shyly.
"I meansss, you threw him ssso hard into that carsss, I betsss he'll be in ssso much painsss he won't be abless to move at allsss tomorrowss. Doing anything worsssse would have jussst sspoiled it for messs."
HIM had visibly relaxed, eyebrow raised and his lips curled into a smile.
"Really?"
His smile widening, Snake shuffled closer and nodded.
"Mhmmsss, I lovesss the idea of Accce knowingss that Isss have yousss to protectsss me from himss." He leaned closer so that his lips almost brushed against the demon's cheek. "That'sss ssso much more...exccciting to me than killingsss him..."
HIM turned to face him, cupping his healed cheek in a claw.
"I can see why that would please you, my pet." He cooed, but then his voice lowered. "But if he dares to hurt you again, I will tear him limb from limb!"
Likesss he'sss going to hurtsss me again when he knowsss who I'm with!
Snake's cheeks were burning; the thought of having a lover willing to do that for him intoxicating. He lifted his hand to rest against the claw, and leaned in to plant a soft kiss against it.
"I knowsss." He whispered, leaning in until their lips were just brushing together. "Thank yousss..."
His hand slid up to the back of HIM's head as they kissed, whimpering softly as he felt the other claw moving to the small of his back, pushing it closer.
Their kisses had intensified over the course of their three dates, leaving Snake's body on fire when they eventually parted. The night at the movies had almost left him begging his lover to take things further – to take him with the same burning passion. But HIM had never taken things as far as he had wanted and he hadn't dared to push...
But this time, Snake was determined that he was going to spend the night with more than just fantasies. He wanted HIM, more than he had ever wanted any of his previous lovers, enough to take matters into his own hands!
As they broke apart for air, Snake placed his hands on his lover' shoulders and pushed him back into the cushions. HIM looked surprised, but did nothing to stop him as he straddled the demon's lap and leaned in for another kiss.
Far from pushing him away, or even hesitating, HIM kissed back with such naked hunger that Snake moaned into the kiss. His hands settled on either side of his lover's face as claws pressed firmly against his backside, grinding it against a rapidly hardening arousal.
The feeling was intense enough that Snake moaned loudly, breaking the kiss. A thin string of saliva briefly kept their lips connected as they looked at one another breathlessly. HIM surveyed him for a moment, before raising an eyebrow in a silent, obvious question...do you want this?
Still panting, Snake smiled softly and responded with a single, almost imperceptible, nod of assent.
It was enough, as HIM's eyes lit up before his mouth latched onto Snake's neck and suckled at it hungrily. Snake's head leaned back and he moaned again, eyes closing as his neck was ravaged.
It looked like they were going to do it on the couch; the parallel to his earlier encounter with Ace was not lost on him. He felt a claw slide under his tank and arched his back at the contact...
He opened his eyes when he felt HIM's weight shift against him and his back pressed against something soft. They were no longer in the lounge, and the canopy of a huge four-poster bed was above him. In spite of himself, he looked around enough for HIM to detach his mouth from its task and lift himself up.
"I thought you might prefer something a little more...fitting." He panted, lips curving into a smile.
Touched, Snake returned the smile and lifted his head to pull pull his hat off completely. Tossing it onto the night-stand, he lifted his arms to his lover and guided him down for another kiss.
They enjoyed the simple intimacy, grinding against one another, for a little while longer. Snake was the first to grow impatient, letting his hands wander down to HIM's belt. After a few moments of blind fumbling, he unfastened the buckle. As he did so, he felt HIM's claw lifting the hem of his tank. Breaking the kiss, he lifted his arms so HIM could pull the top over his head. As the demon flung the offending object to the floor, Snake reached out to repeat the action with HIM's dress. It pulled off easily, and it joined his tank on the ground as HIM pinned him with another kiss.
Snake moaned into the kiss as their bare flesh pressed together, growing louder as HIM's lips started kissing a trail down his chest and stomach. His fingers dug into the comforter as his shorts slid over his hips and down his legs. He felt his sneakers unfasten and get pulled off with his socks even as his shorts were flung to the ground. He heard two more thuds, which he guessed to be HIM's boots, and the demon was upon him once again for another kiss.
He grabbed hold of Snake's wrists, slipping the bands off them before guiding them to the bars of the headboard. Realising the intention, Snake gripped the horizontal bars tightly and HIM started kissing his way down to his boxers.
"Pleassse..." Snake hissed "don'tsss...don'tsss teassse messs..."
HIM looked up at him, his claws rested on the fabric.
"Don't worry, my sweet." He soothed. "It'll be worth it."
Snake lifted his hips to give his lover easier access, and soon his boxers were sliding down his legs. HIM settled between them, flashing him a reassuring look before lowering his head. Snake's back snapped upwards and he screamed as his arousal was engulfed in the heat of his lover's mouth. The scales on his cheeks flushed crimson as he panted helplessly, his legs spread wider and pushed up towards his body by HIM's claws.
Snake had never experienced a blow-job such as this one. He knew his previous boyfriends – and Ace – had enjoyed his own efforts, but he had never received that many in return, especially none that had been this good. His hips rocked gently in response to HIM's attentions, as much as he could manage with HIM's grip on his thighs. He bit his lip and his eyes rolled to the back of his head with sheer pleasure.
"HIMsss...ssso goodsss...mmsss..." he groaned, closing his eyes against the feeling...
They snapped open again as he felt...something pressing inside him. The sensation felt a lot like thick fingers, but HIM's claws were still holding his thighs firmly. He looked down, but he could see nothing beyond his lover's head bobbing up and down.
"Wh-whatsss..." He managed, eyes widening as he felt the pressure stretch his insides. His back arched, and his question was lost in a long moan of pleasure.
"Aaahsss...ooohhsss...I-Isss...nnhsss...I'msss..."
Suddenly, he felt a second pressure building in his groin rapidly and gripped the bars harder. His eyes closed and his head fell to one side, panting urgently.
"Ahhsss...HIMssss...I'msss gonna...I'msss gonna...aAAAaahhh!"
As if ignoring the claws holding them down, Snake's hips snapped upwards as his orgasm struck him hard. He faintly heard his lover grunt as the waves of pleasure rolled over him, then a swallowing noise. As his breathing began to calm, HIM crawled up and coaxed him into another kiss. He hesitated for a moment as he tasted himself on his lover's tongue, before his arms dropped from the headboard and wrapped around HIM's neck. Their bodies entwined, writhing together in an increasingly sweaty embrace. Snake could feel his body quickly responding to the attentions, and he was soon aroused again. As for HIM...
Snake whimpered into the kiss as HIM's arousal pressed insistently against him. At some point, he must have removed his own underwear, as it was definitely bare flesh rubbing against him. It was hot, almost impossibly hard, and it felt...big!
As their lips parted, Snake looked at his lover for a moment. As aroused as he was, he had to know.
"Wh...whatssss did yousss put...inssside messs earliersss?" He panted.
"Oh, that?" Snake was a little pleased to see that HIM was also flushed and panting. "It...was telekinesis..." He lifted a claw and waved it around. "These aren't...aren't exactly...the best things for...foreplay, you know?"
"Huh...it feltsss pretty goodsss..."
He lifted his head to kiss HIM again, but the kiss was short-lived. HIM soon broke the kiss and looked down at him.
"Are you sure that you want this, my pet?" He asked in a soft voice.
Snake blinked up at his lover, confused for a moment, until he realised that HIM was making absolutely certain that this was consensual after what happened. Smiling, he nodded.
"Yessss, I wantsss thisss – I wantsss yousss." He whispered.
HIM's eyes lit up as he pulled back, moving his body into position. As he did, Snake looked down and caught a glimpse of...
Ooohsss! He iss big!
His eyes widened as he admired his lover's arousal. Ace was definitely thicker, but HIM was visibly longer, and he already knew how hard he was. HIM's eyes raised to meet his, so he looked away and bit his lower lip in anticipation, which earned him a chuckle. He felt the back of his thighs resting against his lover's chest, and then the head of HIM's hard cock pressed insistently against his entrance.
"Aaahsss!" He cried outas his body gave way to the very wanted invasion and HIM stabbed inside with a low growl. Grabbing hold of the bedding under his hands, he arched his back against his lover, trying to get more of him inside sooner. "Oohsss, you're sso hardsss! Ssso bigsss!"
Teeth bared slightly, HIM leaned forward, effectively folding the teen in half as his thighs were pushed closer to his torso as their bodies joined further. They both groaned as HIM pushed himself fully inside, the Demon's claws coming to rest on either side of Snake's head while they both adjusted to one another.
"I...didn't expect you...to be this...tight!" HIM panted, his forehead pressing briefly to Snake's before lowering his lips to kiss him. Whimpering into the kiss, Snake lifted his hands to grip the headboard tightly. After a while, he lifted his hips to signal he was ready, breaking the kiss to cry out as HIM responded with a hard thrust.
HIM continued to slam his hips against Snake's, starting slowly but gradually building up speed until Snake could feel the whole bed rattling underneath and around them – even over his own hisses and moans. His hands gripped the bars so hard that his knuckles were white.
"Nnnghsss! HIMssss...aaahhhsss...feelsss ssoo...ohhhsss..."
His thighs burned from the stretched positioning, and he knew that he was going to be very sore later, but the pleasure he felt as HIM thrust into him was worth it. This was nothing like the clumsy attempts of his previous lovers – over-enthusiastic and inexperienced teenagers – this was a lover who knew what he was doing!
It wasn't long before HIM's thrusting hit the secret spot inside him that made Snake see stars. His body tensed around his lover with a shout, which in turn caused HIM to falter with a cry of his own.
"Ohhhss! HIM – theresss! Right theress – theresss!"
HIM's thrusting began anew, this time aiming straight for the spot he had struck earlier. Though he had been trying to meet his lover's thrusts, soon Snake found himself pinned and unable to do anything beyond moan. His legs shifted, slipping from HIM's sweating shoulders and wrapping around his waist. He let go of the headboard and wrapped his arms around HIM, bringing their bodies closer together and trapping his own arousal between them.
"Don't ssstopsss..." he whimpered "don't ssstopsss...pleassse...nnhsss...HIM...Issss..."
HIM growled into the crook of his neck, reaching up to grab the abandoned headboard as he nipped at the scaled flesh. Their bodies slipped and slid against one another, slick with sweat, as they both neared the edge together.
Suddenly, Snake felt his orgasm nearing rapidly. His hands bunched into tight fists over HIM's back.
"H-H-HIMsss...I-I'msss gonna...I'm g-gonna..."
His eyes widened and his breath caught in his throat as he reached his climax. He felt his entire body stiffen and push itself against HIM, opening his mouth as he screamed his lover's name. As he clamped around HIM's arousal, the demon growled in surprise, biting into his neck hard enough to draw blood before letting out an almost-roar into the flesh. His hips slammed into Snake as he climaxed deep inside him, pressing hard against his hips.
His seed was hot inside Snake's body, but not enough to burn. Relaxing his grip, he lay back against the sheets with a contented sigh and let his hands run down HIM's back.
"Mmmhssss..." he moaned softly as he felt HIM withdraw from his exhausted body and move to lay beside him. Immediately, Snake rolled to snuggle closer to his lover and was pulled into a lazy kiss, their legs tangling together.
"Well," HIM chuckled, playing absently with a lock of Snake's mussed hair, "that wasn't exactly what I thought would happen today." Snake giggled breathlessly.
"Me neithersss." He agreed. "Butss I'm gladsss it didsss."
"Me too." HIM kissed the bridge of Snake's sharp nose. "To tell the truth I had been hoping this would happen soon."
Snake giggled, looking away for a moment.
"I'dsss been hoping we'dsss have sssex sssoon pretty much aftersss our firssst date. Isss...Isss didn't wantsss you to thinksss I wass a whoresss for asssking too sssoon."
HIM laughed, pulling Snake closer to him, which the teenager responded to with a happy giggle, snuggling into the warmth of the embrace.
"I'd be the worst kind of hypocrite if I did, my pet." He pushed a lock of hair out of Snake's eyes. "I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Touched by the concern, Snake shook his head and kissed his lover softly.
"Nosss. I feelsss pretty goodss, consssidering."
He was surprised by the mischievous grin spread across HIM's face, and squeaked when he felt something familiar start pressing against him...
"The day's not over yet, my dear..."
Before Snake could react, he found himself on his back under his lover and in the middle of another hungry kiss. Despite his exhaustion, Snake kissed back, wrapping his arms around his neck.
"A-againsss?" He panted as HIM's lips danced their way down his neck. He found his body was already responding to the anticipated assault. "I-Isss ssshould probably call my sssissster...oohsss..."
His body arched as HIM rolled their hips together.
"Ooohsss, mmhsss...HIMssss...Isss – guh! Ohhsss...I-I..."
With a groan he leaned up and crushed his lips to HIM's, then cried out as his legs were parted.
"Aaaahsss...I'll do itsss latersss!"
