Acheron Chapter 2 – Hope at Hadley's
A/N- The Atmosphere Processing Plant (APP) is what is keeping Acheron's air breathable at the moment, it stands 1,500 meters tall with several sub-levels underground. It is powered by a 1.0 Terawatt fusion reactor and is fully automated, the colony was established to maintain the reactor until faze two could be completed and the ecosystem begins to maintain the atmosphere. PDT is a Personal Data Transmitter, useful in so many ways, from unlocking doors to logging into consoles. And as always please give me a minute to set the stage before hellfire and brim stone start to rain down.
Kevin's heart was beating a million miles a second as he walked down the passageway carrying Edd's luggage to their quarters in the colony, he felt more nervous and excited now then he did on their first date, the old saying held true absents does make the heart grow fonder. After receiving Edd's message that he was in orbit and about to make landfall, he cleared his schedule for the day, leaving the plants maintenance in the hands of his subordinate. As they traversed the metal passageway he gave Edd a make shift tour pointing out things of note as they passed, "Down that passage is the Med and Science labs, where your office will be," stopping at the junction he points down the adjoining passageway.
Edd just shook his head with a smile on his face, he was familiar with the layout of the facility, having study the schematics thoroughly. "That's nice Kev," Kevin's heart warmed at the nickname that was spoken as Edd moved closer, "But there is only one place right now that I am interested in knowing it's currently location," Kevin cocked a brow as Edd leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Our bed." A playful smile was on Edd's face as he leaned back just a little to look his husband in the eyes.
Kevin's face lit up and Kipper who was in Edd's arms reached up and licked him on the cheek, "Right this way monsieur," and Kevin headed down the corridor again but this time at a double time pace. After being apart for over a year the both of them were looking forward to reconnect on so many levels, eager to reaffirm their love and need for one another in a way that only they could do for each other. Kevin stops in front of a door that looked like all the others down this passage, and as he neared it the lock was automatically released as it recognized his PDT, "This way, you're bridal suite awaits," Kevin swings the door open and holds out his arm dramatically beckoning Edd to enter first.
Stepping through the modest doorway Edd's breath catches and he releases Kipper to the floor, he was prepared for cramped living due to the nature of colony life, but he had to admit that these quarters where bigger than he had expected. Kevin enters behind him carrying the luggage and closes the door with his foot, taking them into a room off to the right that Edd suspected was the bedroom, opening the door just to his right he finds the small closet and sets kippers carrier inside so it was out of the way, closing the door again he begins to survey his new home. Entering the quarters you are immediately in the living room area, the very modest sized sixty inch television was built right into the left wall, a coffee table, couch with an end table placed on either side was positioned a few feet away from it facing the TV, partitioning the area from the entryway giving the feel of a hallway. On the far side of the room was the kitchen area with all the modern appliances installed, a countertop islander with stools was built extending from the right hand wall to separate the areas and give you counter space. On the left hand side of the far wall was an L shaped bench dinning nook with a small oval shaped window above it that allowed you a view of the outside world.
The next door you come to on the right was the bathroom, it was decent sized for the space with only a stand up shower installed, god was he going to miss soaking in a tube. And finally the last door on the right which led to their small bedroom, all the shelves and drawers used for storage were built into the wall to save on space. The only true pieces of furniture in the room were the queen sized bed which stood on the far wall from the door and the two nightstands on either side, a large oval shaped window on the left wall giving a view of the barren landscape. Leaning against the door frame Edd took in the view of Kevin's beautiful frame as he extended his arm to put the clothes that were on hangers in the closet, Edd's other two suitcases sat on the floor at the foot of the bed unopened yet. Pushing off the wall he walks over to his husband and wraps his arms around him, squeezing him tight around the chest line kissing his neck, "What are you doing," Edd whispered into his ear before he took the lob into his mouth to nibble it.
Kevin moaned softly enjoying the touch of his love, "Just helping you to relax," he turned in Edd's arms to face him, wrapping his arms around Edd's neck, "I know you won't be able to until this is done."
Their lips join and they both now felt like this was home, content in the warmth of the others embrace, "I've trained you well," Edd smirked as he looked into those loving green eyes, Kevin returned the smile and hummed is accent as he kissed those sweet lips again. Guiding Edd to sit on the bed as their lips stayed joined he helped him to lie down, positioning himself above him, their groins rubbing together as he moved his hips. Edd's left hand eased its way down Kevin's back to tease at the waist line of his pants, sliding in to massage that perfect ass while his right hand was running through Kevin's hair. Kevin supported himself with his right elbow as his left hand caressed Edd's check with his thumb while he poured all his love for his husband into that kiss.
They feel the bed rock slightly as the weight of Kipper lands on the mattress to join them, they break the kiss and look in his direction, he hops up and lands his two front paws on Kevin's left shoulder and begins to lick him on the cheek. "I've missed you too buddy," Kevin says as he shifted his weight to bring his left arm around to pet the smaller member of their family, Kippers tail wagged excitedly as he continued to show Kevin affection, "Yes I love you too, but daddy needs some alone time with Papa." Kipper understood what he meant and backed off just a little, turning around to the edge of the bed looking at the floor for a moment then turning back to them laying down giving them both a sad look, "Go on buddy, we'll be out in a little while." He stands again letting out a quick breath of air then a whine, jumping down to the floor he leaves the room to go sleep on the couch.
"He has missed you as much as I have, wouldn't leave the front door for anything for the first two weeks after you left," Edd stated as he caressed Kevin's arm with his right hand stopping to play with the hem of his short sleeve.
Kevin brushed the bangs away from Edd's forehead, "I missed the both of you as well," a tender kiss, "Especially you," another kiss that fanned the flames of their love. Clothes were shed, hips were rolled and worlds were rocked, words of love and devotion were shared between them and their bonds were renewed. Laying cuddled together in their post coital bliss Kevin kisses Edd on the forehead and then breaths out, "Damn." Edd hums his curiosity at the exclamation as he enjoyed the embrace of those strong protective arms, "I promised you dinner."
"The best damn dinner I ever had I believe were your words," he traced the fingers of his right hand across the muscles of Kevin's chest, "So what are we having, since I've already had my dessert."
"Hmmm," Kevin thought about what he could whip up quickly from what they had in the fridge, "How does meatloaf, asparagus and mashed potatoes sound to you."
"Perfect," Edd cooed.
Untangling himself from his husband Kevin begins to get up, "Ok, I'll go get dinner started and you jump in the shower," smacking Edd playfully on the ass.
As he stood up Edd grabs his wrist and pulls him back down kissing him deeply, "Why don't you wash my back for me first?" Kevin gives him his trade mark smirk and lustful eyes and Edd jumps out of the bed running for the shower closely followed by Kevin. Dinner as it was, was enjoyed two hours later as they cuddled up on the couch to watch a movie from the colonies data base, the classic B grade horror movie Waxworks. Little did they realize though that their whole evening of love making was overheard by their neighbor through the air ducts, she was currently sitting on the floor with her back against the wall taking another long swig off a bottle of vodka. Finding no comfort from it she throws it against the wall shattering it, spilling the contents all over the floor and wall, how dare that dork take what she believed was rightfully hers.
