Summary: Tucker has always been the geek in the family, and among his friends. Sometimes he can't help but feel alone. Can a certain loony ghost prove him wrong?
Author: Hello once again! Welcome to the second chapter of (drum roll) "GHOST MATES!" (imaginary audience claps) Thank you, thank you. Alright all kidding aside I'm glad I finally had time to write this. It's been on my mind for awhile now but every time I come home from work I'm too tired to write. So the reason I wrote this one is simply this: THERE ARE NO TECHNUS AND TUCKER FANFICS ON HERE! So yes I had to write one. I apologize for the first chapter, it was more porn then plot. I will rewrite it to include more details soon I promise! Anyway….. enjoy!
Winters Passing
"Are you sure you can't make it man? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet the makers of DOOM." Tucker said into the phone trying to get his point across.
"Sorry, if I'd known earlier I might have been able to but Vlad's already booked our tickets." Tucker sighed as his friend apologized, "Maybe we can get together and play for old time's sake when I get back.
Tucker knew Danny was trying to cheer him up somewhat but he was too disappointed.
"No it's alright. Have fun on your trip bring something back for Sam and me." Tucker forced himself to sound cheerful trying not to ruin his friends vacation.
"Alright I'll send you a text when we get there."
After saying goodbye Tucker hung up tucking his phone away as he shivered. Wisconsin winters were never kind to him. It was late November and school was out for the next few weeks due to a plumbing issue. The perfect time to hang out with friends before Christmas and final exams. Or at least that's what Tucker had though they'd be doing when he heard the news. Instead though Sam had gone to a Vegetarians convention in New York while Danny and Vlad were currently on there way to Italy for two weeks.
Scuffing his feet in the dirt Tucker looked down the line of Doom fans as they waited for the 'meet –n- greet' to start. Sighing softly he noted he was one of the oldest kids, excluding the few parents scattered around, waiting. Truthfully he was the only one in the group that still even played the game, sure Sam could still kick his butt three ways to the moon when she remembered all the cheats, and Danny knew how to cheats using his ghost powers, neither of them really enjoyed the game anymore though.
"Guess I'm the odd man out again." Tucker thought before shivering again.
It wasn't the first time he felt this way. Back in their freshman year when Danny and Sam had crushed on each other he'd always felt like the third wheel. And every time he would bring up the latest tech that's just come out they would pretend to be interested but really they were just indulging him. Shaking his head he tried to stop thinking about the past.
"Still I'm here by myself while Sam's off saving the creatures of the world while Danny is spending his holiday with Vlad."
When Danny had first told them about him being mated to Vlad tucker was shocked, at first. He like Sam had his doubts, then he saw the two of them together. They were made for one another. He could tell that Danny would never be as happy with anyone else as he was with Vlad. Seeing the intense feelings the two had for each other drew another emotion in him besides worry.
Jealously.
Deep down in his heart he wished he could find someone like that. Someone who understood him so well, who would cherish him. He'd thought he'd found that person in Valerie, but he soon realized that she wasn't really his type. Girls weren't in general. The day he'd found out he was gay was one of the hardest days of his life. It was just one more thing that drew him away from his friends, made him different.
"Alright everyone single file no pushing, no shoving, anyone caught cutting in line will be removed from the store!" The owner shouted shaking Tucker from his thoughts.
The kids in line cheered as Tucker pushed himself away from the wall. Smiling he followed everyone else as they moved into the store. He shouldn't be feeling down right now! This was a once in a lifetime event and he wasn't going to let some petty feelings ruin it for him. When he reached the door he stopped taking in the bookstore (in his opinion the event should have been held in a game shop or something) and the people he had come to meet. He waited along with everyone else as the line moved forward at a snail's pace. It was almost his turn when the kid in front of him barfed all over the table and the floor.
"That's it! I can't take another minute with these snot nosed brats! I'm out of here screw the contract!" The main creator yelled getting up his face filled with disgust. He was soon followed by his companions and the event ended.
"Great, just great," Tucker muttered to himself waves of disappointment rolling through him, "Just what I needed.
Technus looked up from the book he'd been viewing as an angry man, followed by what looked like bodyguards, stormed past him. Closing the book he placed it back on the shelf before he headed for the doors. It had been some time since he'd come to the human realm. Using a machine he'd created he was able to form an ectoplasmic skin that allowed him to go unnoticed. Patting himself on the back he stopped when he saw the Foley boy standing by a table.
"Hmm if he is here then that means young Phantom is not fair behind." Was the first thought that crossed his mind.
Then he noticed the look of pure disappointment on the boys face. Puzzled he felt an urge to ask what was wrong. Shaking his head he was about to turn and leave when he heard a soft whimper come from the boy. Turning back he saw the faintest signs of unshed tears in those large, beautiful eyes. Without another thought he walked over to where the boy was standing.
"Is something the matter son?"
Hearing the question Tucker looked up into a pair of deep crimson eyes and found himself lost for words. Standing in front of him was one of the most attractive men he had ever come face to face with. He had long silver hair that despite his age shimmered with a dull glow, it was pulled back into a long ponytail with short bangs that hung down around his face. Those deep eyes were framed behind a pair of steel framed glasses that on someone else (most definitely on him) would have looked dorky.
He was dressed in a loose fitting blue over shirt, with a white button up shirt underneath. The worn jeans he had on clung to his body in a way that Tucker wished his did. All in all the man was Hot.
"W-what?" Tucker asked stuttering slightly when he remembered the unanswered question.
"I asked if something was the matter. From where I was standing it looked like you were about to cry." The man answered reaching up to wipe away a stray tear.
"Oh I-I'm just a little lonely is all. All my friends bailed on me." Tucker said feeling his face heat up.
"I see. That's a shame. No one should be left alone." The man removed his hand and Tucker almost whimpered at the loss.
"I-It's okay I'm pretty used to feeling alone by now. D-don't worry about me I was just about to go home anyway."
"If that's the case why don't you come with me and we can "hang out". I would much enjoy your company." Tucker felt his face heat up more before smiling shyly.
"O-okay. M-my name's Tucker. Tucker F-foley." Inwardly Tucker was cursing himself for stuttering so much.
"You may call me Tech. Shall we got Tucker?"
The way the man said his name had Tucker going weak at the knees. It was strange no guy had ever affected him this way before. Not even when he had that brief and awkward crush on Danny. Gulping he nodded and the two walked out of the store.
For the rest of the day the two men walked around town mostly window shopping. Tucker started to feel less nervous after awhile but he couldn't help the sneaking glances he took of the man. When they stopped into an electronics store Tucker almost didn't go in. He was afraid Tech would be like his friends, bored when he got started on one of his "electronic talks," as hid friends called them.
However he was surprised when Tech started the conversation first! Their conversation soon turned into a debate, then an exchange of ideas as they stopped for lunch. For once there was someone who could keep up with him, and Tech even had to explain some things to him. Tucker didn't mind of course he was so happy he didn't stop smiling the entire time. It was perfect days, but like all days it had to end. When it started to get late Tucker wished for a brief moment that he had could make time stand still.
"I have to go back to my hotel now," He said sadly, "My parents are paying for it and if I'm not back by 9 then the hotel calls them. Sorry."
"I see. Very well is there any chance I could see you tomorrow or the day after?" Tech asked after a minute.
"Yes! I mean of course I'm in town for a few more days, do you want my cell number you can call and we can hang out more." Tucker coughed as he finished trying to hide his enthusiasm at seeing the man again.
"That sounds lovely."
Once they'd swapped numbers Tech left and Tucker hailed a cab back to his hotel. He felt giddy as he stared at the numbers on his screen. Some part of his should have been nervous about giving a total stranger he'd just met his number. But really he couldn't care less. Tech was amazing, he knew about almost all electronics, he was smart, and he was totally smoking.
Safely back in his hotel room Tucker stripped off his clothes before climbing into bed and going to sleep. That night he dreamed of Tech holding him in his arms, as if he were the most precious thing in the world.
The next morning Technus woke up in his lab his new "cellphone" bussing on the countertop in front of him. Rolling his neck, he got rid of the stiffness before looking at the screen. A full out smile stretched across his face as he read the few sentences.
Morning Tech. I was hoping you'd be up to getting lunch with me later. –Tucker
It took him a few tries but he finally managed to send a message back to the boy.
That sounds like a wonderful idea. Shall we meet at the bookstore around 12?
Technus was just readying "skin" when his phone buzzed again. He had to ignore it for a few minutes until he was completely suited up. When he could though he snatched up the piece of plastic and read the reply.
Sounds! Great! See ya there!
Chuckling lightly to himself Technus ignored the way his body heated up as he thought of the boy. Shaking it off as a reaction to the suit he got dressed before flying to his own personal portal.
Tucker arrived fifteen minutes earlier feeling tense about his clothes. Gone was his usual outfit, today he was wearing a long sleeved red turtleneck with a black fleece vest placed over top of it. Instead of his usual cargo pants he was wearing a pair of black jeans that covered his boots. The most shocking part was the fact he'd left his beret off choosing instead to comb his hair flat and instead of his glasses he'd worn his hardly used contacts. By the looks he was receiving he didn't think he looked too bad, he just hoped Tech felt the same way.
Walking down the street Technus looked around for his new friend. Oddly enough when he approached the bookstore he didn't see the familiar hat sticking out amongst the crowd. However he did see a very attractive young man standing by the doors looking very nervous. Maybe he new where the young Fole- Tucker was.
"Excuse me." He said as he walked over to the boy.
"Hey Tech nice to see you again." The boy smiled and Technus stopped.
He couldn't believe his own eyes. This was Tucker?! The boys lean muscles and slightly curvy hips showed clearly in the new outfit he was wearing. Technus could have sworn the boy was trying to seduce him from the nervous glances and shy smile he was receiving. Feeling heat tingle through him Technus coughed before giving Tucker a small smile taking in the new look again.
"You clean up nice Tucker." He said as they started walking down the street.
"Really? You don't think it's a little too much?" Tucker's voice was full of nerves as he asked the question.
"No I like it very much," he hadn't meant to sound lustful but at the boy's heated blush he knew that was what it'd come across as, "Where should we go today?"
"I'm game for just about anything. H-how about we go see a movie." Tucker suggested avoiding eye contact.
"That sounds like a lovely idea."
Without thinking about it Technus reached down and took Tuckers hand in his own. Tucker's blush now covered his face but he didn't pull away. Something Technus was glad for. Tucker's skin felt cool compared to his own and holding the boys hand felt right in a way. He didn't let go until they reached the movie theater, and the was only so they could get snacks and drinks after paying.
The movie they'd chosen to see was a sci-fi, thriller that took place in outer space. As the first few minutes of the movie started playing Technus could already tell the outcome. The hero was going to save the pretty girl, then in the end they'd all get eaten by a giant space alien and the one survivor would go back to earth with one of the monster's babies. Sighing loudly he looked over and saw that Tucker was entirely engrossed in the film. Smiling he sat back to watch the predictable movie, reaching over occasionally for some popcorn. The movie was half over when he reached over once more, this time feeling another hand bump against his.
"S-sorry." Tucker whispered as he turned to look at the boy.
Tucker's face had erupted into a full blown blush, his eyes were cast downwards as he slowly pulled his hand back. Technus took one look at the adorable picture he made, he had a feeling Tucker didn't even notice the way he looked, before he reached over lifting the boys chin with his fingers. Startled eyes looked into his as he placed a chaste kiss on his lips. Pulling back he turned his attention back to the movie in time to see the hero die, just as he'd predicted.
Tucker couldn't believe what had just happened. Tech. Maybe the hottest man in the world, who he'd met just yesterday. HAD KISSED HIM! It was barely a peck but Tucker could still feel those lips on his, could feel the way his hand had held his face. He couldn't think straight. When the movie finally ended he was glad, now he could go back to his hotel room and think. Walking out of the theater he turned left, so he could head for the hotel, when Tech gripped his arm softly stopping him.
"Tucker where are you going? I thought we'd hang for a little while longer." Tech looked confused and a little sad at his attempt departure.
"I j-just uh remembered I have to uh do something b-back at the hotel." Tucker felt bad for lying but just feeling the man's hands on him was causing him to shiver.
"Alright may I call you tonight?" Tech sounded hopeful.
"S-s-ure. I-I'll see you tomorrow!" Tucker said before pulling away and running down the street.
Technus watched him go. He knew the boy had been lying, even a child could have seen it. Technus also knew the reason why. He'd kissed Tucker, this was only there second day together and yet he'd down it. He was just about to question his sanity when he felt pain and heat swamp his body all at once. Groaning he made his way to an alley before he collapsed onto his knees. His rational mind was only able to come up with one thought before he was assaulted by images of Tucker.
"My mate."
Tucker stared at the ceiling of his room as he played the scene from today over in his mind again. Tech kissing him. Leaving after the movie. Closing his eyes he could feel those warm lips pressed against his own. He'd had his first kiss a long time ago, but it was nothing compared to the kiss he'd shared with Tech. Groaning more Tucker found himself growing hard as his mind decided to torture him with images of them doing other things.
"Oh get over yourself Tucker. It was one kiss! It wasn't like he proposed to you or anything." He mumbled getting up to deal with his growing problem.
He was just about to slip his hand into his pants when he heard someone knocking at his door. Rolling his eyes he figured it was the cleaning service or one of the bell hops asking if he wanted a wake up call or something stupid like that. Getting up he walked over to the door opening it without a second thought.
"Can I help yo-. Tech? What are you doing here?" Tucker asked startled when he saw who was standing in front of him.
Without warning Tech pulled Tucker into his arms latching his mouth onto Tuckers. This kiss was nothing like the one before. It was hot and filled with passion and need. Tucker soon found himself being pushed back into the room vaguely aware of the door being closed before he was pressed into it. Finally after what seemed like an eternity Tucker managed to pull away gasping for air.
"Tech. What's. Going. On?" He asked between gasps.
"I needed to see you, be with you. I couldn't stand not having you in my arms for another second." Tech said in a low sultry voice.
Tucker looked up into Tech's eyes gasping even harder when he saw they were glowing. Tech's eyes were a bright red that was familiar somehow. It took only a moment for Tucker to remember where he'd seen such eyes before.
"T-technus?" He asked cautiously.
"Mmmm yes my mate?" Technus asked as he started nuzzling his face into Tuckers neck.
Mate?! Technus had just called him his mate?! What did that mean?! What was going on?!
Before he could even get out a single word Technus started sucking on Tucker's neck causing all thought to slip from the boy's mind. He whimpered as Technus slipped his hand underneath Tuckers shirt, pulling it off and tossing it on the floor without a care. Tucker dimly thought that cleaning wasn't going to like that before Technus leaned down and started playing with his nipples. Taking one into his mouth Technus started sucking on it as he twisted the other between his fingers.
"W-wait Technus." Tucker tried to plead before letting out a whimper.
Technus switched and began sucking on the other one playing with them until both were erect. Tucker could feel all the heat in his body begin to pool into his length as Technus played with him. Finally pulling away Technus recaptured Tucker's lips picking him up in his arms before walking over to the bed. Very gently Tucker was laid down on the soft bedding Technus only breaking the kiss the remove his shirt and over shirt.
"What am I doing he's a ghost. He tricked me." Tucker thought as he gasped for air.
Those thoughts vanished however when Technus placed his hand on the bulge in his pants. He pressed down slightly drawing a long moan from Tucker who arched his back slightly.
"My mate. My beautiful mate." Technus whispered into his ear as he continued pressing down.
Tucker whimpered as he started to thrust his hips up against Technus's palm. He couldn't think. All he wanted was the man above him. God be damned if he was a ghost. Tucker didn't care. He still wanted him, wanted those arms wrapped around him., wanted to feel him deep inside his body.
"P-please d-don't tease." He pleaded looking up at the man.
Technus groaned at the look his mate was giving him. It was pure lust, all the doubts he'd had disappeared as he pulled off his soon –be- lovers, pants and underwear in one shot. Dropping down he slid his tongue down the boy's stomach, stopping to dip it into his bellybutton. The Whine that escaped those wonderful lips almost made him stop and savor the moment. A hand on his head begged him to continue though, which he did.
Running his fingers lightly down the boys length he smirked as he finally swiped his tongue over the top. Tucker groaned long and loud encouraging Technus to take the whole head into his mouth, giving it a long suck.
"Ah Technus!"
His name screamed like that was music to his ears. Wrapping his hand around his lovers base he slowly started to bob his head up and down. Reaching down he started messaging the two globes hanging below his mouth grinning as the hand in his hair tightened.
"He tastes so good. My mate won't last much longer."
Pulling back Technus swirled his tongue around the tip before going as far down as he could. Tucker arched his back off the bed pushing more into Technus's mouth which he gladly swallowed around. His lover was a mess as he started bobbing his head up and down running his tongue along the underside as he did. It was only a matter of moments before Tucker screamed unloading his seed into Technus's awaiting mouth.
"Ahhhh!"
Technus swallowed all he could before pulling back licking his lips at the bit that escaped. Tucker lay panting on the bed spread his legs hanging open in an enticing way. Technus could barely hold himself back from simply plunging into his lover then and there. Instead he waited for him to come down from his high.
"Tucker." The sound of his name had the boy turning to look at him.
"Mmm?"
"I can't hold back much longer, are you ready for me?" He didn't want to do something his mate would hate.
He waited three lifetimes, three seconds in reality, for his mate's answer. Finally Tucker nodded slightly leaning up to press his lips against the older mans. Happiness erupted throughout Technus's body as he gripped his lover and kiss him long and hared before pulling away. Pulling back he reached into his pocket to retrieve the special bottle of lube he'd stopped to pick up from home. It would guarantee that even without stretching (which he couldn't hold out long enough for) he would tear his mate.
Pouring a generous amount on his hands he pulled down his own pants and underwear. Rubbing it all over his engorged member he groaned. He was harder then he had ever been before, there was no doubt in his mind he wouldn't last much longer without his mate. Picking up Tucker's legs he placed them against his shoulders before positioning himself.
"Relax mate relax." He crooned as he slowly pushed himself in.
Tucker tightened around him instinctively and Technus could barely hold himself still. Those silky walls surrounding him were too much and with one slick motion he buried himself inside Tucker as far as he could go. Stopping all motion he looked down at his mate noticing the tears in his eyes. Leaning forward he kissed the boy whispering apologies and soothing words. It seemed like forever until he felt the boy move and heard a whispered: "Move."
Pulling out slowly Technus thrusted back in striking Tuckers prostate dead on. The whine he heard encouraged him to start a fast pace as he aimed directly for that spot. That tight heat and the silken walls surrounding him were too much for the older man and soon he pulled out thrusting in further then he had before his muscles crying out as he spilled himself into the boy. Tucker soon followed after the feeling of being filled causing him to come again.
Technus felt his heat receding slightly and his mind begin to clear. Looking down he slowly slid himself out of the boy letting limp legs fall from his shoulder. Leaning forward he rested their heads together, wrapping his arms around Tucker and holding him close.
"Tech?" Technus looked down at the sound of his nickname.
"Hmm?"
"Are you going to leave me now?" At the sound of those words Technus shot up.
Looking down at the boy he noted the tense way he held himself. Pain laced his eyes and hope shadowed them as he looked up at the older man. Shaking his head he brushed a few strands of hair away from the boys eyes before leaning down to kiss him lightly on the forehead.
"Where would you get such an absurd idea?" He asked rolling over so that Tucker now lay on top of him.
"I just-, I didn't know-," Tucker tried to say.
"No my dear boy if you'll have me I wish to be with you in this life and the next. I would never leave you." Technus smiled at Tucker who looked like he was going to cry.
"Of course I want you."
"Good. Now shall we mate again lovely?" He asked feeling the heat returning.
Tucker gulped as he was pounced on again.
"So you enjoyed yourself? Did you meet you idols?" Danny asked as he got onto Vlad's private jet.
"No I didn't long story. But yeah I had fun. I uh understand now why you didn't make a fuss about Vlad being your mate and all." Tuckers voice sounded the slightest bit hoarse for some reason.
"Oh really?" Now Danny was curious.
"Uh yeah you see-" Tucker stared to say.
"Tell young Danny you will speak to him later. We have a bus to catch." Technus said cutting Tucker off.
"Was that Technus?!" Danny asked in surprise.
"Sorry tell you everything later!"
Danny stared at his phone before he started laughing. Tucker and Technus. It was a match made in heaven.
Author: Well there you go. Sorry it was kinda long. Sometimes when I get going I just can't seem to stop. Still have no idea who to pair up with for the last chapter. HELP!
