Ratchet and Alister:

The Blue Orb

I DO NOT OWN RATCHET AND CLANK, INSOMNIAC GAMES DOES!

Chapter 14 Signs of Affection:

Ratchet tried to break free out of Alister's tight grip. He couldn't do anything, the other was just too strong. Now one of Azimuth's hands held his arms while the other was planted at the back of his head; making sure he couldn't so anything to hurt either one of them.

Alister was getting tired of Ratchet's pointless combat. Nothing was happening! Thinking of something quickly to stop Kaden's son, he moved swiftly. He shoved his tongue in the younger's mouth and started to play with it. This action made Ratchet moan and close his eyes.

Vibrations made their way down the General's throat, it literately made him laugh lightly. Oh this was heaven! It felt so good. So amazing. By now, the Lombax in his grip had slowed down on the movement. But he still fought for his freedom. But Alister wasn't going to let that happen until he got the real Ratchet back.

He couldn't take it any more! It was just so great. He stopped dead in his tracks from fighting against the elder. Now it was his turn to make a move. Sliding his tongue into Alister's mouth; this made them both groan. Oh man this was so much better than the moment with Lola!

Alister's tail wrapped onto Ratchet's. Moving his hands down to the bottom of the younger's back, he brought them closer to each other. Opening the other's armour to the chest and pushing his armour off of his shoulder until the top part was completely off, he lavered his warm tongue down the new expoised fur.

Ratchet swung his head backwards and breathed out shakely. Oh now that was good. Time for some pay back. Pushing the elder against some tall rock, they both slid down together. The young Lombax did the same to Alister what he did to him. Making a trail with his tongue on the broad chest, then bring it back up to the neck.

Grabbing a hold of his pray again, Alister planted another long kiss on the other's lips. His thumb and index finger started massaging the bottom of Ratchet's ear, and he purred. Purred. He never expected that to happen; but then again, every Lombax loved their ears being rubbed. Especially the males.

Ratchet placed his fingers on Azimuth's strong chest, and moved them in a circlular way , to massage it. Sometimes he'll push down roughly and then gently. He just wanted to get his own back. Hopefully this Lombax below him will begin to purr. And - yes it worked!

Alister's purr was quiet yet powerful. The rhythm was calming, emotionally secure to keep a light atmosphere. It was just...considerable to hear. Then all of a sudden, visions started to flash in Ratchet's mind!

"My father? You knew my father?" Ratchet asked the older Lombax. He couldn't believe it, someone he has just met knew his father. Not only did he know him, they were best friends too. This was properly the best times in his life after being held captive by Lord Vorselon.

Alister smiled towards the Lombax. "Yeah, Kaden and I were good friends. He was a great Lombax; smart as they come. We use to go hoverbooting on Planet Lumos." A chuckle. "He almost broke his arm trying to do a trick to impress some girls that were watching us from a distance. One of those girls being your mother of course."

What in the name of Orvus was happening? Alister knew his father, Kaden? And Mother? Another memory (maybe?) popped into his head.

Alister ran up to Ratchet and held him in his arms while the younger had both of his hands over the wound on his stomach. Ratchet was loosing a lot of blood and fast; his heart beat was slowing down along with his breathing. All the sound he could make was moaning, and they heard like very pain moans. "Drake! Go get some Nanotech, quickly!" The elder Lombax yelled. He couldn't let the younger one die, not another one. If they didn't act quick enough, then Ratchet would be lost forever. "Just hold on Ratchet, just hold on." He whispered in the other's ear. "You're gonna make.

Was this the past he was looking for before Lola kissed him? These 'flashbacks' weren't that clear, but he could still slightly make out what was going on. Drake, who's he? Oh yes, Alister's best friend that's a bird with a bloody big beak. Once again more of the past filled his sight.

Slowly, while Alister was looking at Ratchet with sad eyes, Drake moved the Nanotech with one of his feet near to the end of the bed. So far, so good. Carefully, the bird tipped the last of the Nanotech off of the big bed. SMASH!

In a flash, the General's hands were over the his thin neck and started strangeling him, but didn't do it has hard as he thought the Lombax would. In minutes his blue eyes was starting to roll back into his head; just about when that happened, the elder stopped.

He dropped the bird on the floor and left him there to choak and let oxygen flow into his small lungs. Alister's eyes narrowed and gave Drake an evil look while saying, "Leave! And never come back, you worthless bird!" His voice full of anger. With that, the bird quickly left the house in a blink.

Looking back into a pair of amber eyes, those eyes, so shiney. He just couldn't resist, he had to. It just felt right, like it was the right moment. Slowly Ratchet closed his eyes and destroyed the distance between him and Alister. He placed his lips onto Azimuth's.

Ratchet gasped for breath. Everything came back to him now! Being captured by Lord Vorselon, then Alister saving him from Drake, the first ever close moment with the older Lombax! He remembered everyone and everything. Everything made clear sence! Apart from the scene where he saw Lola shoot down Alister's ship. How did he survive?

"Alister?" The younger asked, confused.

"Yes, Ratchet." The General replied, kindly. He couldn't believe it! He has got the real Ratchet back not the one that got controled by that female Viric, Lola! "What is it?" He smiled.

"H-how did you survive the crash?" His emerald eyes looked away from the other's stare to the ground. "I saw what happened to you. The explosion of the ship, the crash sight...everything."

Azimuth sighed lowly but gave the Lombax a tight hug and whispered into his ears, "I'll tell you everything later. But right now, we need to hide." Looking up at the sky, he saw Vorselon's troop ships heading to Lumos. "I believe they know I'll alive and that you're back to normal."

Slipping off of the elder, he lended a hand to pull the General to his feet. "Come on, I think I saw a cave on the way here." Handing back Alister's wrench and grabbing his own, he enlighted his hoverboots and dashed off. "Follow me!" He shouted back towards the Lombax in the dust.
