As Oscar and Canas started setting everything out on the table for lunch, the guys started coming in and sitting around the table. Oscar made sure that those who were younger sat at one end and those that were older sat at the other end. He didn't want those who were too young eating the fruit cocktail with the alcohol in it. Just as everyone was grabbing some food and settling in to the meal Guy walked in with Florina.
"I didn't know we were expecting a guest" Oscar started as he looked around the table for a spot to place Florina.
"There is a spot next to Largo if you'd like and I could go grab you a plate and silverware" Oscar stated as he got up to go into the kitchen.
"If it is no trouble I'd prefer to sit next to Eliwood sir" Florina said meekly as Guy left his side to go and take a seat next to Shin and Rath.
"Oh no it's no trouble at all" Oscar started as he went to go and get the plate and silverware, "just have someone move to make room for you and I'll be right back"
Eliwood looked at Alen and gave him an apologetic look and explained to him how timid Florina is around men. Alen nodded and stood up pulling the chair out for her to sit, and then pushed her chair in for her as soon as she sat down.
"What brings you hear?" asked a confused Eliwood.
"Yeah Florina, some of us were enjoying some time away from all of you" chimed in Hector as he shoveled a whole sandwich into his mouth.
"Lady Lyndis sent me to come and talk to you guys. There is some unrest amongst the senators about most of the men leaving their realms and countries. If you guys don't come back she said that they are going to arrest her."
As Florina explained this Eliwood and Hector both just looked at her a bit confused and nervous. They didn't understand why the senators would want to arrest Lyndis. Surely she had nothing to do with this, did she?
The two of them were broken from their thoughts when Oscar came over and places a plate and some silverware in front of Florina.
"Here you are! I hope that you enjoy what I have prepared before Ike eats it all" Oscar teases while looking at Ike inhaling sandwich after sandwich.
"Oh thank you, Sir Oscar was it?" Florina meekly asks while avoiding eye contact.
"Yes, let me know if you need anything else…." Oscar trailed off realizing that he had forgot her name.
"My name is Florina" she stated before grabbing a spoon and scooping some fruit onto her plate.
Oscar nodded and went back to his seat to enjoy the rest of his lunch. Florina sat there awkwardly trying to avoid the eyes of the men sitting around the table with her. Eliwood and Hector would look over at her every now and then with a questioning look on their faces. She knew they wanted to ask her about what she said earlier to them, but she was just so hungry after flying so far without stopping.
After they were done eating, Eliwood and Hector and Florina excused themselves. They all went into the hall and found a side room away from everyone else so Eliwood and Hector could ask her questions.
"Florina," Eliwood started, "what did you mean when you said there was some unrest amongst the senators?"
Florina bit her lip and looked at them. "Promise you won't get mad if I tell you?"
Eliwood and Hector both agreed and listened as Florina told them everything.
"After the war Lyndis returned back to Sacea only to find that her home and everything was destroyed by bandits while she was in Caelin tending to her grandfather. While in Caelin her grandfather still held power and she was tired of men ruling over everything. Women were cast aside by men of power when during the war we were seen as your equals fighting for the same goal. She devised a plan to rid the kingdoms of their strongest men until women were able to take over some of the head roles of their kingdoms. She sent out letters to women from different countries and different realms about her plans. Some of them were on board and others were just there to lend a helping hand. Once they were on board, Lyndis used some of the castles money to rent this place out for a while to stash you guys. After she secured that she sent out the invitations to everyone. It was the women's job to deliver you guys to this place and then leave you here with no way of leaving. Unfortunately, someone ended up finding out about this rouse and contact Lyndis. I was sent her to bring you guys back, or at least some of you back. If we are unsuccessful, Lyndis will be arrested and face high charges. We lost track of a few of the invitations and a few more guys than we expected were here but Serra took care of that. Serra is actually on her way here with some of the other girls. She is supposed to deliver the message to everyone and then we are in charge of getting you guys back to where you belong"
As she finished she looked away and hid her face. Hector and Eliwood just shared a look of disbelief before looking back at Florina.
"I can't say that I'm too happy with this, but honestly this was a good way to relax and flex my muscles without having Oswin there lecturing me all the time" Hector stated as he relaxed back in a chair.
"I agree," Eliwood started, "it is aggravating to hear that this was why we were all brought here, but it has brought us closer to others. Also, I have to agree it is nice to just sit back and relax and not have Marcus breathing down my neck about different matters that I have to take care of.
"It has just been so hard and we hardly ever see you guys or hear from you" Florina started to say as she started to get a little weepy.
"We used to talk almost every day during the war and it was, well it was nice to have guys to finally talk to and get used to. I don't hardly hear from Fiora or Farina either, so it is like I lost touch with my closest friends and my family."
Eliwood and Hector both shared a look and smiled before looking back at Florina. They both remember how hard that war was on them, but they were happy to be surrounded by friends and good allies. Hector lost his brother and only family and Eliwood had lost his father after shortly being reunited with him. After the war they were busying trying to take care of certain matters after both taking over for their kingdoms.
"We're sorry Florina, we never really thought about it. We were busy trying to take care of our individual kingdoms. If we had known this is how you guys felt, we would have planned trips to Caelin to see Lyndis and you" Eliwood explained as he stood up and walked towards her.
He gave her a brief hug before stepping away and ruffling his hair with his hand. There was a long pause and silence before it was broken by Hector.
Hector signed heavily and looked at both Florina and Eliwood seriously and said, "I don't think I'm going back yet. I'm really enjoying myself here and I want to enjoy it for just a little while longer."
Eliwood and Florina just looked at him before Eliwood signed as well and looked at Florina.
"I'm with him Florina. I'm not ready to go back to Pherae yet. It has been a while since I've been able to sit back and enjoy myself like I am right now."
Florina looked at them both shocked and then gave a nod to let them know she understood. Hector then excused himself and let Eliwood stay with Florina to keep her calm and away from the other men that surrounded the house. Hector walked around the house looking for Abel until he found him standing around the island in the kitchen talking with Cain, Raven, Gordin, and Klein. He walked up behind Abel and tapped him on the shoulder.
Abel turned around confused until he saw that it was Hector.
"Can I talk to you privately?" Hector asked in a gruff voice.
"Sure" Abel said a little worried trying to figure out what was wrong.
#
Abel followed Hector all the way back to their room where he walked in and was immediately thrown back against their door. Before he could say anything he felt Hectors lips crashing against him drawing a moan from Abel. He wasn't used to this kind of roughness but he wasn't going to ask Hector to stop. Abel wrapped his arms around Hector and kissed him back allowing Hector to take control. Hector stopped kissing him briefly and start kissing his way up his arm until he reached Abel's neck. He started nipping and sucked at the soft skin causing Abel to blush and throw his head back against the door. Hector picked Abel up and wrapped his legs around him as he carried him over to the bed.
"Is everything okay Hector" Abel finally managed to say before Hector could devour his mouth again.
Hector sat Abel up on his dresser and pulled him close so that their foreheads were touching. Hector rubbed Abel's legs and bit his lip before looking Abel in his eyes.
"I can't discuss it with you, but just know that I wanted to do this before I regretted never taking the chance when I had it."
Before Abel respond Hector pulled him back in for another kiss and started undressing him right on his dresser. Abel helped Hector get his clothes off and then started taking off Hector's shirt. Hector leaned back a little to let Abel take in in chiseled torso. Abel licked his lips and leaned forward and took one of Hector's nipples into his mouth. Hector groaned and threw his head back as Abel munched on his nipple and started tugging and pinching his other nipple. He had never had his nipples played with before but he was liking the rough treatment they were receiving from Abel's mouth and hand. Before Hector could do anything Abel switched his mouth to the other nipple and started munching on that one. By the time Abel was done Hector's nipples were puffy and red.
Abel sat back to admire his work before his legs were yanked up and he was on his back on top of Hector's dresser. He was about to say something when he felt a strange sensation on his hole. He tried looking down and saw Hector blowing onto his hole before going down and sucking on his winking ass hole. Abel moaned and bit his lip and reached down spreading his cheeks to make it easier for Hector. Hector bit his hole softly before prying it open with his tongue. This caused Abel to wince and whimper as Hector started getting rough again.
Hector started devouring Abel like his was his lunch instead of what Oscar had made for everyone. Abel was trying to contain his noise but after a while ended up moaning out loud and dug his nails into it meaty ass cheeks. Without any warning Hector pulled his face away and replaced his tongue with 3 fingers. Abel screamed at the sudden intrusion and tightened around his fingers. Hectors kissed him and started relaxing him so he could finger his hole.
"I'm sorry for so many sexy but I want to make sure I don't hurt you with my thickness" Hector said apologetically as he nibbled on his neck and stroked his side.
Abel bit his lip and ran his fingers through Hector's hair and relaxed a little. Hector took that as his cue and started to finger fuck Abel. Abel winced and tried tightening around his fingers to push them out, but Hector's strength proved to be too much. Abel moaned out in pain as his hole was stretched open. Hector keep stroking his side and nibbling on his neck trying to relax him. Abel looked down at Hector and pulled at his hair whenever it hurt too much. Hector started kissing Abel to distract him as he worked his pants down to get his dick out.
Abel froze immediately when he felt the head of Hector's penis touch his right ass cheek. Hector nuzzled against him and started sucking on his neck again. Abel held onto him tight nervous for what was going to happen. Hector could sense that Abel was now hesitant, so he started stroking his side and kissing him again. Abel started moaning softly against Hector's lips as he started to feel overwhelmed from all of the pleasure he was receiving. Hector took this moment to slip his fingers out of Abel and replace it with his cock. Without warning he started sliding up into Abel causing him to squirm and bite down on his bottom lip.
Hector started to growl a little bit and moan softly as he felt Abel bite down on his lip. He looked up at Abel as his cock was squeezed by Abel's insides.
"Do you trust me?" Hector softly moaned out while looking Abel in his lust filled eyes.
Abel nodded and moaned in response as Hector's cock slide a little further inside of him.
"Than wrap your arms and legs around me" Hector huffed out as he grabbed onto Abel's thighs.
Abel just barely got his legs and arms wrapped around Hector when he felt himself being picked up. Without warning again, Hector grabbed him by his hips and started pumping up into him. Abel groaned out in pain as his hole was bashed open by Hector's thick cock. Without letting up Hector started to piston fuck Abel while he was in the air with his arms and legs wrapped around him. Abel started grunting and groaning as he felt his insides start to expand. It also felt a little slippery down there from all of the precum that was leaking out of Hector's cock and lubing up his hole.
Abel tried his best to hold back his groans and grunts as Hector plowed him until Hector hit something deep inside of him. Abel screamed out in surprise as he felt his cock lurch. Abel looked down in surprise because he didn't even realize he was hard. He thought for sure all the pain would have deflated his cock like a popped balloon. Abel's screams were sweet music to Hector's ears. It let him know that he had found his spot. Hector kept fucking Abel as he walked over to his bed. He kept trying to find his spot again to make him scream again. After a few hard thrust Hector found it again causing Abel to scream out and fall back onto his bed.
Abel's new position was now bent backwards with his head and arms on the bed, his legs still wrapped around Hector, and Hector's arm wrapped around him causing his back to arch. Hector started piston fucking Abel again causing him to whimper and scream in pleasure. Abel's cock leaked precum all over his abs as sweat pour down his forehead from his hair. Hector looked at Abel who had a sex crazed look on his face and drool dripping down from the sides of his mouth.
Hector pulled Abel tighter to him and fucked him with all the energy he could muster. Abel's moans and screams were so loud he thought someone in the dining room would hear them. Abel's screams and moans were full of lust and want. No one had ever made him feel like this, and he was pretty sure Hector was bruising his prostate. Without warning Abel's legs wrapped around Hector in a crushing hold as his cum started jetting out of his cock.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH FUCK HECTOR! YOU"RE MAKING ME CUM" Abel screamed out followed by a long deep moan.
Abel's hole was clutching Hector's cock in a vice grip preventing him from full on fucking him, so instead Hector started grinding into Abel's prostate. Hector bit his bottom lip hard and held Abel close to him.
"Oh god Abel here it cums" Hector moaned out as he cock started unloading deep inside of Abel. Abel moaned and felt his insides start to warm up as each hot spurt of Hector's cum filled his ass.
Both of them started panting and just laid there awkwardly until Hector finally removed his arm from around Abel's back. With Hector's arm gone Abel finally laid down more comfortably on Hector's bed and unwrapped his legs from around Hector. Hector slowly pulled himself out of Abel and looked down to see Abel's hole wide open and unable to shut.
Hector chuckled to himself and laid Abel's legs on his shoulders.
"What are yo…oooooh" Abel was about to say until he felt Hector's tongue on his battered hole. Hector licked and kissed at his hole tasting himself as his tongue explored deep inside of Abel's used hole. Abel moaned softly and tussled Hector's sweat matted hair as Hector ate him out.
After Hector collected some of his cum from Abel's hole, he climbed up into bed and started kissing him making sure to swap the cum between them. Once the finished kissing Hector laid back with his arms thrown back up under his head. Abel cuddled up to him and laid his head down on Hector's glistening torso.
"That was amazing" Abel breathed out still coming down from his sexual high.
"That was better than amazing" Hector said as he chuckled and looked down at Abel.
"Are you usually that kinky and dominant?" Abel asked while nuzzling against his torso starting to drift off.
Hector chuckled again as he pulled Abel a little closer to him.
"Honestly, I've never been that dominant with anyone but I am usually that kinky."
Before either of them knew it, they started drifting off to sleep. All they could hear was the rhythmic beating of their hearts and loud snoring every now and then from Hector.

Back in the dining room everyone was just finishing up with lunch. Zeiss, Noah, Matthis and Ike all stayed behind to help Canas and Oscar pick up the table. Ike stayed behind everyone else to help Oscar and Canas with the dishes. Matthis gave him a apprehensive look before leaving with Zeiss and Noah to go change into swimming trunks. They wanted to go out and try the hot tub near the tiki bar.
"You don't have to stay and help if you don't want to Ike" Oscar said cheerfully as he handed a platter to Canas to dry.
"It's fine Oscar" Ike sighed as his gaze went from the doorway where Matthis once stoodback to Oscar.
"I honestly stayed behind to talk to you about a few things" Ike sheepishly said as he handed Oscar another platter to wash.
Oscar glanced his way quick before looking back at the sink.
"Well I'm all ears Ike as long as you don't mind Canas listening while he helps us" Oscar said while nodding over to Canas who was putting some of the dishes away in the cabinet.
"I can leave if you would like" Canas said politely drying his hands with his dish towel.
"No it's fine, I'm sure between the two of you I could get some good advice."
Canas smiled politely and gave Ike an approving nod.
Ike sighed heavily again giving Oscar a stack of plates before talking.
"It all started one the first day we were here," Ike started as he blushed remembering when he and Matthis first met, "Matthis walked into the room and I was doing stu….I mean I was taking care of something and he caught me."
Oscar and Canas shared a knowing look realizing what he was implying as Ike continued talking.
"We ended up taking care of each other because I couldn't control myself. The next couple of days he was ignoring me until the other day when I found him in the library. I felt so bad for kind of pushing Matthis into what we had done and tried apologizing. He climbed into my lap and in a way forgave me. I told him I think I like him more than I should, but I don't understand these feelings. I've never felt this way about somebody before. I was so busy trying to focus on exacting revenge for my father's death and leading the company that I never even realized the way Elincia felt about me. Dad never taught me much about feelings like this and honestly I always thought that I would just live my life by myself with the company by my side. I'm so scared I'm going to mess this up and I'm going to give Matthis one more thing to worry about in life. I just feel like I'm at a crossroads right now because when all this is done everyone will be going separate ways. If this little feeling lasts that long who knows if he'll want to leave his homeland to come with me back to the company. I hate to sound selfish but I wouldn't be able to go with him because the company is my family and Mist, my sister will need me."
As Ike finished he took another long and heavy sigh. He was relieved he got it all off of his chest but he was nervous about what he would be told.
"Well Ike it sounds like this is more than just an infatuation. It sounds like you might be crushing for this guy. If it was just an infatuation, you wouldn't be so hung up on these feelings you say you have."
Canas agreed with what Oscar and added, "it also sounds like he is more than infatuated with you. It might help if you open up to him a bit and explain where you stand."
"I agree with Canas, if you open up to him about Mist and the company he'll have a better understanding of you and your character. You're not a boy anymore Ike, and now that you have a chance to relax you are realizing more about yourself than you thought you would. You're always looking out for everyone back at the company. Maybe you should pursue this to see where it can go. I'm sure the experience and time together would be worth it, even if he decides to go back to his hometown instead of coming with you back to the company."
Ike just looked at Oscar and Canas and smiled.
"You two are both right. You're so smart Oscar and I knew I could count on you. You're also smart Canas and I'm happy you stayed to hear me out. You guys have helped me realize some things, as well as helping me decide on what to do next."
"Well thank you Ike, I'm just happy I could be of assistance" Canas said as he smiled and scratched the back of his head.
Oscar took the rest of the dishes from Ike and smiled.
"You know you can always come to me when you need something Ike, now get going and catch up with everyone. Canas and I can handle the rest of the dishes."
Ike gave them both a nod before leaving the kitchen to go and put on his swim trunks.
Canas and Oscar just chuckled and went back to doing the rest of the dishes.
"Hey Canas" Oscar said a little confused.
"Yeah"
"Didn't we use six platter plates for lunch?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I remembering handing you one to dry, and I only have four others sitting over here" Oscar said while looking over at Canas still confused.
Canas just gave him a confused look back as they looked around the kitchen and dining room for the missing plate. When they couldn't find it they just shrugged and went back in to do the dishes.

As others started grabbing their trunks and heading out to the pool, Sain snuck into the parlor and sat down at the bar. He set the platter down on the hardwood of the bar and grabbed some plastic silverware from behind the bar. He sat there silently eating the fruit. He couldn't put him finger on it but Oscar and Canas mixed something in with this fruit that was giving him a bit of a buzz. Ever since the first day when he heard two guys having sex, he hadn't felt like himself. He wanted to go home and he didn't have many people to talk to.
Kent was always missing or hanging out with his roommate and the other guys. Eliwood and Hector were always heading over to the training area with their roommates to spar. It just seemed that everyone was getting along and disregarding how, well how gay everything was here. It was like a sausage fest around every corner and he was getting fed up with it.
Sain was so deep in thought that he never heard the door to the parlor open and close.
"Whatcha got there?" asked an unfamiliar voice making Sain jump just about out of his skin.
"Nothing" Sain said as he turned around to see who was there.
"It looks like one of the platters from lunch" said the man as he approached the bar.
Sain just watched him approach the bar and take a seat across from him. The man was extremely muscular and had light brown hair that was lightly spiked up in the front. He wore a short sleeve button up with the buttons undone so you could see his chiseled abs and pecs. He had on his swim trunks but they weren't wet.
"The names Gatrie" the man said as he went back behind the bar to find himself something to drink.
"Sain" was all Sain said as he went back to staring at the fruit and took a couple more bites feeling a bit more of a buzz.
"Ahhh damn there is nothing back here that sounds good" Gatrie said as he stood up and took short breath in. He then gave a quizzical look and took another breath in, but this one was longer than the last.
"Your fruit there smells a little more than fruity if you ask me" Gartrie said as he examined the platter full of fruit and whip cream.
"I think Oscar and Canas added some kind of alcohol to it" Sain said as he took another bite out of the platter.
"Do you mind if I have some?" Gatrie asked hopefully.
"Sure, whatever" Sain said nonchalantly.
With that Gatrie grabbed some plastic silverware from behind the bar and started eating the fruit with Sain. They both sat there quietly as the ate. After a little while they could hear music and chatter coming from outside. They both could also hear the splashing of the pool and that made Sain look back over at Gatrie remembering he had on swim trunks.
"Why aren't you out in the pool?" Sain asked trying not to slur or sound sluggish from all the alcoholic fruit he had consumed.
"I've been hanging out with all these different guys pretty much every day, and just wanted to take a break. Don't get me wrong they are great and a lot of fun, but I also require my own personal time. I haven't had any time to just kick back and have a few."
"I can see what you mean, but why do you have your trunks on?"
"I went up with everyone when they were getting their trunks on, but they left before me so I took that moment to sneak away and just relax."
"Oh nice"
"Yeah, and just between you and me it feels nice in these because it gave me an excuse to go commando."
At that Sain started laughing which made Gatrie laugh. Sain didn't know what it was about what he said but it just made him start laughing. Unfortunately, the laugh was short lived because Sain quickly went back to eating. Gatrie looked over at him and scratched the back of his head.
"It is problem none of my business, but is everything all right?"
Sain glared over at him with an expression that Gatrie read as, 'yeah it is none of your business.' Gatrie quickly looked away and went back to eating the fruit until they had both managed to finish the platter. Sain sighed heavily and set his fork down.
"I'm sorry Gatrie, it has just been so frustrating since I got here. I thought some time away from the castle would have been good for me and my friend Kent. We both started out as cavaliers and have pretty much done everything together. Since we have been here I haven't really heard much from him and he never seems to be around. Anyone that I'm used to hanging out with are usually busy with their own stuff and that leaves me with no one to hang out with."
Gatrie looked at him and gave him a crooked smile.
"I know how you feel Sain. I have a friend back in the company who I have pretty much done everything with as well. Whenever it was time to go out and take care of some missionary work Ike would ask him and I to accompany him. Sometimes Ike would send us out all on our own and we were just unstoppable. Unfortunately, my friend was busy with other matters and was unable to accompany us. That is the reason only Boyd, Oscar, Ike and myself are here."
Sain gave him a knowing glance.
"Hey you know there is a pool table in the other room if you want to head over a play a few games" Gatrie said while standing out a reassuring hand to Sain. Sain took his hand and pulled himself up off of his bar stool. After eating all that fruit with Gatrie he was happy Gatrie helped him up. AS soon as he stood up, he fell over into Gatrie. Gatrie caught him and fell against the wall. When both of them were steady Sain looked up and started laughing again. Gatrie looked down and started laughing himself as they just stood there.
"Good thing for that wall" Sain chuckled as he got his barings and stood up straight.
"Yeah or else he'd have gone down pretty hard," Gatrie stared as he straightened himself out as well.
"You would've had a hard fall," Sain started, "I would have landed on your body."
Sain closed his eyes as the both started laughing again unaware of the look that he was now getting from Gatrie.
"Which way to the pool table again?" Sain asked as he finally stopped laughed.
"This way!"
They both stumbled out of the room and headed down with Gatrie leading the way.

Vyland stood behind the tiki bar mixing fruit cocktails for people wishing Oscar and Canas would reveal where they found the alcohol. Matthis, Zeiss, and Noah were all relaxing in the hot tub as Ike walked over to them. Boyd watched him from one of the seats at the tiki bar as Kieran walked over and asked Vyland for two drinks.
"Sure thing" Vyland said as he started scooping out ice into two cups.
"Are those both for you?" Boyd asked as he spun around in his chair to face Kieran.
"Nah, my friend wanted one and I'm getting one for myself" Kieran stated as he nodded over to where Jake was sitting and talking to Geoffrey and Lance.
"Ahh Geoffrey was getting thirsty?" Boyd asked.
"No haha my friend Jake" Kieran chuckled pointing at Jake so Boyd could see who he was talking about.
Boyd chuckled as well and apologized.
"I'm sorry Kieran I was just assuming because I only know Geoffrey out of your little group there."
"No biggie" Kieran said as Vyland handed him his drinks and he walked away.
Boyd just sat back and watched everyone else. It's not that he didn't want to join people and talk, he just wanted to relax instead of joining in this time. He hadn't really relaxed since he got to the house because he was usually hanging out with someone and doing something. He thought of going over and hanging out in the hot tub until the group of guys Ike was hanging out with got into it.
Kieran was walking back over to Jake, Geoffrey, and Lance as a couple of the guys were busy horsing around in the pool. He handed Jake his drink and sat down next to him just in time to catch the end of a conversation they were having.
"What were you guys talking about?" Kieran asked as he took a sip from his drink.
"Oh they were just telling me about their ride out in the woods they had last week" Jake said as he winked at them and took a sip from his drink. Lance blushed and Geoffrey simply chuckled while scratching the back of his head.
"I bet Geoffrey taught you a few things about riding didn't he?" Kieran jested as he chuckled as well.
Lance blushed even more and tried to reply but was cut off by Geoffrey.
"There was nothing that I had to teach him, he himself is also very skilled and knew what he was doing."
Lance just looked at Geoffrey who winked at him and smiled. Lance smiled back and gave Kieran a nod.
"Actually Kieran I'm the only one out of the four of us who isn't well rounded on a horse. Geoffrey, Lance, and you are all proud fighters who beat their enemies a top a horse. I'm more familiar with machinery in a way. My weapon is a ballista."
"What's a ballista?" asked Kieran as he took another sip from his drink.
"They can be nasty if you're not used to them," Lance started as he tried to get in on the groups conversation, "they are like a giant bow and have a deadly range. They're extremely dangerous if they aren't on your side, and practically give any flying unit no chance at all of getting by them."
Jake took a sip of his drink and nodded to everything Lance was saying. It wasn't often there was someone else who knew much about his choice of weapon, so he spent most of the time explaining it to people who weren't familiar with it.
"They sound kind of like the ones we have on the bridge separating Crimea from Daein Kieran, but these ballistae probably don't fire rocks or fire a few shots off."
Kieran nodded and felt a head on his shoulder. He looked over quick and saw that Jake was laying his head down on him. At first he thought of jumping away because he never had a guy, who wasn't injured and in need of help, lean on him randomly. Upon closes examining Jake's face he looked a little tired so Kieran decided the best thing to do was sit there and be a pillow for Jake.
When Kieran looked back over at Geoffrey and Lance, Lance had done the same exact thing to Geoffrey. The only difference was Geoffrey had laid his head on top of Lance's and was smiling. Kieran didn't really understand what was going on and gave Geoffrey a questioning look.
"It's okay Kieran, there is no need to worry. Jake must have felt tired from this heat and leaned over onto you. I know firsthand how sleepy you can get from the heat."
As Geoffrey said this he gave Lance a little nuzzle. Kieran nodded at Geoffrey and put his arm around Jake so he wouldn't fall. As soon as he did that, Jake looked over at Geoffrey avoiding Kieran's gaze and gave him a wink. Geoffrey also made sure Kieran wasn't paying attention before winking back at Jake.

Sain and Gatrie had finally made it to the room with the pool table after checking the last couple of doors on the way down the hall.
"Here it is" Sain said gleefully still intoxicated from the alcohol. Gatrie chuckled and closed the door behind them.
"Why are you closing the door?" Sain asked a little confused.
"Well we're both intoxicated and the last thing we need is someone finding us like this and annoying us about where they could find some" Gatrie stated plainly remembering that since they have been here he wasn't the only one searching for alcohol.
Sain just nodded remembering that as well and then turned his attention back to the pool table. He knelt down and grabbed the triangular rack and set it on the table. Gatrie went over to the pool sticks and grabbed two of them while Sain started setting the balls up in the rack. Gatrie handed him his stick and started using chalk on the head of his stick.
"Would you like to break or should I?" asked Gatrie as he set the chalk back down.
"You can if you'd like" Sain said as he leaned against the wall.
Gatrie grabbed the cue ball and centered it before lining his stick up and smashing it against the cue ball. Balls scattered everywhere on top of the table and Sain watched as Gatrie sank in two solids and a stripe.
"Well the first one that went in was a solid so I guess they're all yours. Thanks for sinking in one for me before I have to play"
Gatrie just chuckled at that and continued on playing. Things were going on fine and they were having fun taking their turns and chit chatting with one another. Gatrie told Sain all about the Greil Mercenaries and his buddy Shinion. He also told Sain about the war and how he had left the company, but ended up joining it again. In return Sain told Gatrie all about the war that he was in and how his first mission was about finding the late granddaughter of his King. Sain also told him about the many women he hated flirted with that joined them in their efforts to beat the forces that were trying to awaken the dragons.
After a few more rounds Sain was starting to lean more against the wall, and his yawns were becoming more and more noticeable. Just as Gatrie was sinking in the eight ball, Sain sat down and smiled up at him. Gatrie returned the smile and started putting the sticks and stuff away before sitting across from Sain.
"I guess all that alcohol is finally catching up with me" Sain said as he giggled and looked over at Gatrie.
"I guess so" Gatrie chuckled.
"I don't know when I'm going to pass out, but before I do I want to thank you Gatrie. This has been the most fun I've had since we got here."
"You're welcome Sain" Gatrie said as he put a reassuring hand down on Sain's leg and gave it a little squeeze.
Sain just kind of looked at him and blushed before slumping back a little in the chair. Gatrie cleared his throat and stood up.
"If you'd like Sain you could take a quick nap in my room until the alcohol is out of your system. I'm on the first floor and I'd have no problem helping you to my room."
"Ordinarily I'd say no, but I'll take you up on that offer Gatrie. I don't really want anyone seeing me like this.
Sain went to stand up and was about to fall over when he felt warm flesh in the way of him and the floor. Gatrie and jumped over just in time to catch him. Sain looked up at Gatrie who had a crooked smile on his face. Sain felt odd and unlike himself. 'What is it about this guy that makes me feel so different' Sain thought to himself as Gatrie's eyes locked onto his. Sain was about to say something when he felt something moist against his lips. Gatrie's lips were against his and without even thinking Sain started returning the kiss. Gatrie slowly wrapped his arms around Sain to support him as he started leaning away. To Sain's surprise Gatrie started leaning with him making sure that he was still captured by his lips. Sain put his hands on Gatrie's chest and tried to push him away, but he felt so weak and the kiss was starting to deepen. Sain didn't know what else to do so he wrapped his arms around Gatrie's neck in defeat and let the kiss happen.
As soon as Sain wrapped his arms around Gatrie, Gatrie slid his hands down the rest of Sain's back to his ass. Once there he gave a soft squeeze before slidding his hands down further. Once they reached the back of his legs, Gatrie pulled up and in one swift motion had Sain's legs wrapped around his waist. Gatrie broke the kiss as he swung Sain over a little towards his side. Once Sain was there he hiked him up a little and wrapped an arm under his ass so that Sain's weight was supported and he had a free hand. Sain laid his head down on Gatrie's shoulder and nuzzled against it. He was so tired that he didn't want to fight what was going on. Sain just wanted to get to Gatrie's room and fall asleep.
"Ready to go?" Gatrie asked softly before nuzzling against Sain's head.
"Yeah" Sain breathed out before he drifted off to sleep wrapped around Gatrie's warm body.
Gatrie started heading towards his room making sure not to be spotted by anyone. He knew that Sain wouldn't appreciate someone seeing him like this, but he wanted to work on that with Sain. He felt like Sain really needed a friend and he wanted to do what he could to keep Sain happy. As soon as they got to Gatrie's room, Gatrie pulled back the blankets and set Sain down on the bed before changing into some sweat pants and hopping into bed next to Sain. He laid on his back and closed his eyes. All of a sudden he felt an arm wrap around him and a little bit of weight pushing down on his chest. When he looked down he saw Sain sound asleep curled up next to him. Gatrie smiled down at him before covering them up and drifting off to sleep.

Matthew was swimming around in the far end of the pool with Kent, Garret, Rath, Dart, and Wolt. Matthew was referring as the others all took turns playing chicken. Dart finally found something to do with Wolt that didn't involve him being asked a million questions while still being close to Wolt. Kent and Garret were tough competition though. They rarely would give up being teammates so it was usually Dart holding up either Wolt or Rath. Matthew was quite surprised to see Rath hanging out with them though because he rarely spoke to anyone, let alone hang out with them.
Matthew was treading water back away from another chicken fight when he felt hands slide up his sides sending a shiver down his spine. He felt hot breath on his neck that gave him goose bumps and made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. There were tons of people out here, but out of everyone he knew exactly who was behind him. The arms wrapped around his waist and held onto him as he continued to referee the match.
"I didn't expect you to be out in the water" Matthew breathed out as he started to lean back.
"I wasn't planning on getting in until I saw you back here" Jaffar said holding him possessively.
"Is everything all right?" Matthew asked as he became aware of just how tight Jaffar was holding him.
"Yeah, there's just a lot of guys out here."
Matthew chuckled at what Jaffar said and turned to face him making sure to press their foreheads together.
"Are you jealous?" Matthew whispered softly so only Jaffar could hear him.
Jaffar blushed and pulled away from him quickly. This caused Matthew to giggle and climb onto Jaffar's back. Jaffar turned around so Matthew could see how the match was going. After a few more struggles Rath pushed Kent off of Garret's shoulders and Wolt, Dart and him all cheered in victory. Once they were done cheering, Matthew swam over and excused himself only to turn around and find Jaffar already at the other end of the pool drying off. Jaffar threw his towel over his shoulder and gave Matthew a crooked smile that only he could understand.
With Matthew gone the group dispersed with Dart being followed Wolt and Rath heading back inside after drying off. Kent swam over to Garret and grabbed both of his hands. They started play fighting as if they were playing chicken and talked about how many times Kent won. Kent blushed as Garret started flattering him with how strong he was and how good it felt to feel Kent close to him while they were playing chicken. Kent broke away and was about to swim away when he felt two hands grab his trunk. The force he used to kick away and the firm hands on his trunk caused them to slide down his hips.
Kent quickly stopped and started treading water with a panicked look on his face.
"Garret are you crazy!" Kent said to him sternly.
"When I'm with you I am" Garret said as he swam over to Kent and wrapped his arms around him. Kent blushed and got goosebumps as Garret got close to him. Kent looked around worried that someone would spot them but what he saw was practically no one. There were a few guys on the lawn chairs passed out, a couple guys at the tiki bar, and a group of guys on the other side of the patio in the hot tub.
Kent was brought back to his situation when he felt to hand grab his ass and squeeze hard. Kent moaned out quietly so that only Garret could hear him. Garret pulled him closed and massaged his ass cheeks as he slipped a few fingers up inside of Kent. Kent again moaned but started blushing. It was one thing that he enjoyed doing this with Garret in their room, but it was an entirely different thing now that they were outside surrounded by people.
"It's been a few days" Garret breathed out as he enjoyed the sensation of Kent's ass squeezing his fingers. Kent just nodded and started rocking back and forth on his fingers. Before he met Garret sex in public was never something that crossed his mind. Out here at this lovely mansion Kent felt like he could finally explore things without being viewed differently. He felt like he could be himself and give into the temptations he knew he couldn't resist.
Garret kept fingering him with one hand as his other hand grabbed Kent's hand and placed it on his bulge. Kent gasped and blushed. He was used to Garret's size, but he was still not used to having his prostate played with. Garret was making sure to press against it causing Kent to wince and moan. It was still a little sore from the last time Garret rammed him. Never before had he cum so much without using his hands. Well truth be told, he never had cum without using his hands until he came here and met Garret.
"Can I tease you?" Garret panted out thrusting into Kent's hand eagerly.
"I thought you were already doing that" Kent breathed out as he giggled and moaned again.
Garret chucked and pushed the front of his trunks down far enough to let his manhood pop out. He got Kent to wrap his legs around him, and then pulled his ass cheeks apart as he squeezed his cock in between his two globes. Kent started kissing Garret and wrapped his arms around him not caring if people saw them. Oddly this felt right to him. Garret kissed back and started sliding his cock back and forth between his ass cheeks.
"It feels like your ass is suffocating my cock" Garret panted out low enough so only Kent heard him.
"I take pride in my meaty ass" Kent chuckled out as he laid his head against Garret's head and enjoyed feeling Garret's cock sawing back and forth.
Garret nipped at Kent's lower lip and started sliding back and forth faster causing the water to splash between them. Kent reached down and started stroking himself. He didn't want Garret to be the only one getting off. Garret noticed this and moved them so that if anyone say them they would only see Kent's back. Once he was hidden behind Kent, Garret leaned forward and started biting and sucking on Kent's nipple causing him to breathe in harshly. He didn't want to moan out so he bit his bottom lip and just started stroking himself faster.
Garret released his nipple once he knew it was puffy, sore, and red before latching onto the next one. Kent started whimpering softly and stroking himself faster. He was starting to get used to Garret's aggressiveness, but it still made him feel amazing and submissive. Garret's sliding started become more eager as the water between them started splashing louder. Kent went to say something but immediately bit his lip hard as he felt Garret's cock slide up into him. Garret groaned out low and thrusted in until he struck Kent's prostate.
When that happened Kent bit down into Garret's shoulder as he started cumming in the water between them. His ass started squeezing and milking Garret's cock which resulted in Garret biting down hard on his nipple and sucking. The warmth started to overwhelm Kent's lower body as he nuzzled against Garret. The both started panting softly as Garret placed his forehead against Kent's forehead.
"Did I hurt you?" Kent breathed out softly.
"Not at all" Garret chuckled as he slid his softening cock out of Kent
Kent gave Garret a quick peck on the lips before unwrapping himself from Garret and pulling up his trunks. Garret pulled up his trunks and picked Kent up. Kent smiled and laughed until Garret threw him a away from him.
Kent came up sputtering and wiping the water from his eyes only to see Garret swimming down to the other end laughing. Kent started swimming after him as fast as he could, but unfortunately he couldn't catch him. By the time Kent had reached the other end, Garret had already dried off and had handed Kent his towel.
"That wasn't fair Garret" Kent whined as he dried himself off.
"All's fair in love and war" Garret chuckled out and wrapped his towel around him.
Once they were all set Kent and Garret walked up to their room, changed into sweats, and then cuddled on Garret's bed until they fell asleep.

Oscar and Canas were outside picking fruit so that they had a nice stockpile for the next couple of meals. They were so busy that they never noticed the few cars pull up to the house. A couple girls got out of the cars and looked around only to find Oscar and Canas. Serra walked over to them and cleared her throat causing Oscar to drop the apples he was holding and Canas to jump in surprise.
"What are you doing here Serra?" Canas asked confused by hers and the others appearance.
"We have a situation that I need to discuss with everyone"
"Your best time to talk to everyone would be after dinner" Oscar stated before looking around Serra to see the other girls as well.
"That'll be fine" Serra said as she waved over the other girls.
"Titania?" Oscar asked as he saw the red head approach them.
"Yes, it's me Oscar. How has everything been for everyone?"
"Fine for the most part. Boyd, Ike, and myself have been fine."
Serra cleared her throat getting everyone's attention.
"Oscar since we won't be leaving until after dinner I felt like you should meet the others. Oscar this is Sue, Rebecca, Linda and you already know Titania."
As Serra introduced everyone she pointed to each person so that Oscar could figure out who was who. Oscar greeted all of them and introduced himself and Canas. After that Sue, Rebecca, Linda and Serra went inside while Titania stayed back to help Oscar and Canas. It had been a little over 2 weeks since she had seen him and the others. Titania was happy to finally see Oscar again and she couldn't wait to see Ike and Boyd. She was hopefully that they'll all come back with her tonight after Serra explains everything to everyone.
