When Raha woke up alone in their nest, he sat up between the dual color pillows with an involuntarily pout – instantly missing his Senri's heat… and perhaps more than a bit wishing for his attention – but in a way, he was as well almost glad. With a wide yawn, he scrambled out of the nest and headed for the shower, washing quickly, then dressed in his usual outfit and without missing a beat, headed out of the Rising Stones and toward the market, along the way nodding and smiling at the familiar by now faces of the citizens of Revenant Toll.
With the rework taking place around and in the Crystal Tower, the small city on the no-mans land was quite a bit busier than usual – accommodating the workers, engineers and traders pouring in and out to make use of the unusual event for their business. Two weeks in, it was a first day when he and Damon weren't required to be there – and as much as he enjoyed the thought of spending the free time with his beast, and planning to check where did his Snark wandered off without him or without warning him of his absence beforehand, he set to browse the stalls with a live interest, having only a vague idea of what he was looking for.
With their work seemingly approaching completion – only a few snags they had along the way with it – and looming confrontation against the despair incarnate… A few days ago, while helping Cid and Hades with recalibrating the system of the Tower, and when it out of nowhere suddenly stuck him: that dangerous as their plan was, and with the uncertainty of the outcome… he kind of wanted to do something completely not having to do with any of that, for a moment, when he's free to do so.
While the last few moons had them focused on this whole ordeal… and alongside all the implications behind it, he wished for a one, simple day to rebalance himself and his priorities, and keeping on heart the hope that it'll go well, and they'll save their world from falling apart, when Damon – like always following the trail of his thoughts – suggested to use this opportunity, this free day, to relax, he had an idea to make it significant as well – in a way, at least.
And silly as it was, the picnic in the place where he first laid his eyes on his beautiful Warrior – unaware of it then – sounded romantic enough to tantalize his soul. So, browsing the stalls and gathering supplies for his goal, he barely managed to curb his excitement – thinking of his lover's assured pleasure at the idea.
Done with that and leaving his purchase inside their bedroom – while Senri was, surprisingly, still gone – and not feeling his presence anywhere near the city – he resigned himself to blowing up his supposed surprise and called him.
"Yes, love?" his lover replied in a mere second, but suspiciously: in a whisper.
"Where are you, Snark?" he asked with a frown.
"Ah… busy," Senri chuckled sheepishly, which only worked to have him narrow his eyes and staring at their nest, involuntarily purse his lips in a pout. "I'll be back in a bit, don't worry, Raha."
"That does not answer my question, though?" he hummed now shamelessly in a petulant tone that had his beast chuckle, then sigh softly.
"Okay… if you really need to know: I'm alone, so yo can warp here, but… don't laugh," he warned with a slightly resigned air.
Now definitely curious, he ended the connection without a word, then did as instructed… then blinked with a surprise when he found himself between the too-familiar tall bookshelves of the Noumenon and less familiar sight of his sheepish lover leaning against one with an open book in his hands.
"…Senri?" he hummed, then with unbidden interest peered at the title of the book in his hands, blinking rapidly at it when he realized… then smiled at his lover tenderly seeing hos Warrior flushed beautifully and looked away quickly, clearly embarrassed. "Aww.. That's so cute," he gushed, wrapping his hands around his lover's beautiful face and pulling him down to brush his lips against his heated cheek. "But there's no reason to be embarrassed about that, Snark," he added with a chuckle, letting go to carefully pry the book from his hands.
A book with gathered tips and advices for future parents – which wasn't exactly fitting… but he more than got the idea. They both hardly had an experience with a family… and though he felt a bit more prepared – after raising Lyna – his Senri in the area was quite… poorer. If all of their plans work out – and they find a fitting place, having at this point an idea to content with four kits around… he imagine that for his lover it can be daunting thought – as he knew Senri didn't have any experience with children. Unless one counted the Levellieur twins – young as they were when Senri met them – but they were quite… mature for their age even then.
Leafing through the book quickly, he looked up at his lover with a smile when he shifted uncomfortably, but finally looked at him despite his still dark blush.
"Sorry…" he murmured, hooking his thumbs in the pockets of his pants and shrugged helplessly, smiling sheepishly. "Just… I don't know, it kind of hit me yesterday, you know… That if it all goes well… Hopefully… Then all those kits, and all… Ralla, Navi, Nari… and especially Nico… And as exciting it is, I guess…" he trailed off with a sigh, then freed one hand to run it through his hair, loose and missing his usual bandana.
"Got nervous?" Raha asked with a delicate smile.
"Yeah, I guess…" Senri shifted again, leaning back against the bookshelf harder and dropping that arm to his side limply.
"I think it's perfectly normal, Snark," he said then closed the book and carefully put it away at the shelf behind him. Done, he climbed on his toes and wrapped his arms around his lover's neck, pulling him down into a reassuring embrace. Burying his nose against Senri's throat and involuntarily purring at his delicious scent, he gasped slightly when his lover, of course, used it to wrap his hands with tantalizing possessiveness around his ass, pulling him tight against his hard body. Feeling a gentle nip on the tattoo on his throat, he chuckled, tilting his head give him greater access as he ran his hand through his lover's silky hair. "I already know you'll be an amazing father figure… mmm…" he moaned softly when Senri without a word of a warning shoved his right hand behind the waistband of his pants and curled it in a claim around his buttock, while trailing sweet, greedy bites down his throat and toward his mark on him. "You know…" he gasped, lowering his free hand and smoothing it down his lover's side to sneak it under his shirt and to his lower back, brushing his fingers against the sensitive spot right under the base of his tail. Despite the place – or perhaps… because of it, more like – he couldn't help his body's furious arousal when his mate choked on a rumbling growl at that, unceremoniously pulling his hips with his grip against him harshly, tearing a helpless groan from his throat at the friction on his all-too-interested cock. "…as a hormonal teenager… I had quite a few naughty fantasies about making out here…" he admitted with a quiet, sheepish laugh, then groaned deeply when at that his lover chuckled and spun them around, pinning him against the bookshelf.
"I know," Senri purred teasingly, then lifted his head and brushed the tip of his nose against his. "Why do you think I invited you to join me…?" he whispered, then pulled back just enough to tug his tunic up between them, to then smooth his hand down his stomach and abdomen to push the waistband of his pants down his hips.
"Oh… so it was a trap…?" he snickered, flushed darkly at his own arousal, but hastily worked the buttons of his lover's shirt open, reveling in the sight of his glorious body as he pushed it open, then greedily smoothed his hands over that too-perfect chest and down taut muscles on his stomach, to hook his thumbs in the waistband of his pants and pull him closer, moaning as their skins met.
"Obviously," his lover rasped, tugging his pants to half of Raha's thighs, to make him whimper as he curled his big hand around his dick, clenching it rhythmically as their quickly speeding up breaths mixed. "I may not know much about kits… but I do know what you enjoy, Rrraha…" he purred and hearing that rasped note in his deep voice the redhead choked on a whine, using his grip in the ink-black hair to pull him down into a hungry kiss, purring loudly his need at the feeling of his fangs against his lips. Swallowing his growl, he used his other hand to free his mate's cock, wrapping it around the scorching flesh and pumping his fingers over it, just as he knew his lover liked… Losing his mind at the mix of sensations while Senri fed him a raspy mewl-purr of his name, then set to eat him alive, slightly rutting into his grip as his hand sped up over his flesh in turn… He whimpered a complaint when his mate pulled back from the kiss suddenly, chuckling breathlessly as he almost brutally turned him around, pinning him against the bookshelf harder. "I do…" he growled softly into his neck, then in a mere moment Raha almost expired, clutching at the edge of the shelf as his lover's oiled fingers slid between his buttocks and inside him, two at once causing a slight burn and tantalizing feeling of being stretched. "…and that's not 'making out,' is it, my prrrince…?" his beast rasped, working his body into an embarrassingly rapid submission.
Biting on his lips to stifle his needy mewls, he let one hand drop between him and the bookshelf, coil it around his cock and whimpering involuntarily as he pumped the flesh in tandem with his mate's fingers.
"No shield, Rrraha…" his lover purred teasingly against his ear, nibbling on the sensitive shell as he rutted his eager flesh against his buttock impatiently, adding another finger inside him and making him choke on a whine of bliss – at the feeling and the idea… "And it's a librrrarrry… so have to keep silent, my beautiful… no matterrr what I do to you…" he chuckled evilly, then pulled that hand back, and pulling his hips back, mounted his ass with a choked groan and Raha used his free hand to bite on his fingers, desperately trying to hold back his whines at the feeling of scorching hot flesh impaling him harshly, sliding inside him in a hard stroke. That alone was almost too much as his dick throbbed in a warning and he whimpered quietly, dying for more. And reading his mind Senri complied, pulling back almost all the way out, the slamming into him with a snarl. Hoping he lied about the shield, he couldn't help a wail, gasping desperately as his dick simply burst, spilling all over his hand as his lover chuckled breathlessly, then pinned him harder against the hard surface, covering his mouth with his hand as he braced his elbows around him, slowly rolling his hips and taking him in small thrusts while he came down from his high, blushing up to his hairline. "Shhh…" Senri rasped, and the mix of circumstances and the feelings had him even more painfully aroused in a heartbeat, matching his slow strokes with a shaky rolls of his hips, and mewling under his palm. "Gods… I loooove all of your kinks, my prince… But this definitely takes the cake," Senri snickered quietly, then sped up, fucking him harder and deeper, and he couldn't help but gasp a whimper desperately, too painfully aroused to care about anything but that heat, claiming him… for all too see, so incredibly intoxicating to be so wanted… "So beautifully rrriled up it gets you… so hot, Rrraha…" his lover growled, then brutally kicked his feet further apart, pulling him back harder and forcing him to bend forward, shakily bracing against the shelf as Senri snarled quietly then started to pound into him mercilessly and feeling the tips of his claws bit into his cheek, feeling that scalding heat take him again and again, as his lover sank into him up to the hilt on each stroke, grinding into the spot that sent sizzle of sparks over his nerve endings… All of it soon had him sob helplessly, choking on mewls of Senri's name stifle by his big hand, coming in a brutal spasms as his mate cooed shamelessly with satisfaction, then only set to fuck him harder, faster, inhumane and merciless in his possession of his body.
And he more than loved each second pf this onslaught, uncaring and free in a way that only his Snark could make him feel – taking all he was and giving everything of himself in turn. Fucking him with a feral fervor of the beast, on a place so unfit for it… Always so dedicated to fulfill his every need, fantasy…
Before long he was coming again, whimpering in overstimulation as his whole body throbbed, completely overwhelmed. Then his head was pulled to the side almost painfully and his mate bit him brutally with a choked snarl, and feeling those fangs pierce his skin, he whined, his orgasm extending unbearably, tearing sobs and mewls out of his throat as Senri groaned into his skin loudly and his dick spasmed, painting his insides in a thick, too-hot seed.
Keeping him caged with his bite, purring insistently as he rocked into him slowly now, Raha melted, mewling his name in a daze, fighting to catch his breath and instinctively wrapping his tail around him, matched his slow thrusts. He moaned weakly when Senri pulled his hand back from his mouth and lowered his hand, petting his abdomen soothingly. Finally breaking his bite, his lover chuckled softly, then nuzzled against his neck affectionately and pressed a tender, fond kiss on his throat.
"Could fuck you forever like this, Raha," he purred teasingly, proving that as his dick steadily grew hard again inside him, rubbing against the spot that had the redhead mewl helplessly as his body answered almost too quickly, leaving him beyond dizzy. "So beautifully submissive you are for me, my mate, so obedient… you would let me, wouldn't you, my prince? But… I lied about the shield, love…" he chortled quietly at his loud, relived sigh. "Can't have anyone hear you sing for me in that sinful voice of yours," Senri cooed shamelessly, rutting into him harder and more insisted as he lowered his hand down his abdomen and around his cock, teasingly fondling his balls while Raha arched his back, helplessly rolling his hips between the sensations. "Can't let anyone see you like this, my heart, so shamelessly taking my dick. So beautifully riled up…" he rasped, then curled his free hand around his throat, squeezing in a gentle reminder of his dominance as he shifted against his ass, pulling out almost all the way, to snap into him with a growl. When that movement also pulled on his tail, Raha almost passed out at the sensation, clawing at the shelf in front of him as his whole body bounced with the power behind his lover's thrust. His cock rubbing against Senri's big hand and his fingers delicate caress on the sensitive flesh under it and the way his other hand tightened around his throat, enforcing his submission… At the next stroke he mewled mindlessly, more than dazed by the instinctive need to submit, to please his mate…
Choking on his loud purrs, broken by a groans and whimpers as soon Senri pounded into him furiously, growling his name, in a mere few strokes like that he came with a keening shout, shaking all over as his seed poured over his lover's hand, mewling helplessly while his mate bit him again, fucking him right into another orgasm before he knew what happened. Only then his Warrior finally let up, filling him up in a thick spurts as he purred near-deafeningly, pinning him against the bookshelf with his much bigger frame while Raha fought to catch his breath and collect his scattered wits.
"You're so good for me, my prince," Senri sighed with bliss, nuzzling against his ears happily and petting his hip soothingly.
"And you're impossible," he rasped with a choked laugh, then sighed and dropped his hand, wrapping it around his lover's hand and soon lacing their fingers tightly. "I wanted to invite you for a picnic, Snark."
"…picnic?" his lover chuckled with surprise, tightening his fingers around his as he lowered his head and nuzzled against his neck.
"Mhmm, in the Urth's Gift, if you don't mind," he said, feeling his face heat up as he grew aware of… all the mess they made. Easy to fix with a spell… but still…
"Ah… sounds amazing," Senri purred, then pulled back, straightened and tugged him along, letting him lean against his body in a boneless heap of still trembling muscles as the taller Seeker chuckled at him, carefully fixing his clothes while pressing sweet, affectionate kisses over his throat. "Do you… really think that, though?"
"Hmmm?" he enjoyed his ministrations too much to do more than tilt his head, smoothing his hands over Senri's arms.
"That… I would be good around kits?" his Warrior whispered with a hint of uncertainty that had his throat tighten painfully instantly and tore through the haze of the afterglow. "It's so… scary in a way. So… against what I am…"
"You, my beast, are a protector, nothing else," he said with power, curling his hands around his lover's wrists and pulling his hands away to turn around in his arms and look up in his face with an earnest expression. "And like I said, you'll be a wonderful father, that I'm sure of," he chuckled when his mate blushed beautifully, then dropped his head against his shoulder. Smiling tenderly, Raha wrapped his arms around his neck and petted his hair soothingly while Senri wrapped his arms around him possessively and nuzzled against his shoulder with loud, deep purrs. "Think of it, you're so much like Ares, too… and look at how Hades turned out to be…"
"Yeah… not counting all the genocide over the eons," his lover deadpanned with a sigh.
"Point," he chuckled sheepishly, then flicked his ear playfully. "I know it can be scary, love, but yeah, I really, really think you'll be wonderful… and especially for Nico – looking the way he grew up… He admires you, that's obvious, so I don't think you have anything to worry about."
"He admires what he knows about me – the Warrior, not Senri," his lover sighed again then lifted his head and rested his forehead against his, closing his eyes. "And when it's all done… I don't want to be that anymore, Raha."
"Huh?" he hummed with confusion, petting his ear soothingly.
"The Warrior, the Weapon… I'm done," his lover whispered. "With peace between people and tribes, and Nidhana's medallions in case… They won't need me anymore. Not like before, anyway… so I'm done, my prince, playing the part. I want… I want to be yours. Your husband, Nico's father… A brother to Ralla, Jalla and the twins… My mother's son and my friends' friend… I want to be all those things… And as scary as it is, I want to be myself. Stop pretending I'm something… I'm not."
"I think that sounds wonderful, and I'll be proud to be at your side, my Snark," he purred, wrapping his hands around his lover's head and closing his eyes as they simply stood like that for a moment, enjoying each other's presence and heat.
"So… picnic?" Senri chuckled sheepishly after a moment, then pressed a kiss on his cheek before straightening and looking around. "Ooops, we made a mess," he said but didn't sound very apologetic about it and Raha snorted a laugh, then whispered a spell, winking at his lover when he chuckled.
"Picnic," he said, then they left, leaving the place between the bookshelves as if nothing happened… missing completely the young female Seeker who stumbled from behind the shelf with a furious blush on her face and scampered away, hugging a book against her chest with one hand and fanning her flaming face with the other.
"Holy fuck…" she whispered to herself, heading for the exit.
