Chapter 16: Making up in the best way possible
General POV
After the fight the other day, Laxus and Gajeel decided to take some time off together. They clearly had a lot to talk about. They decided to go into the mountains together to go camping for a week or two and in the meantime they could still train, together or separately. The first day hiking was mostly spent in comfortable silence, both men focussed on keeping a steady pace, while throwing occasional glances towards each other. It was a very hot and humid day in the middle of didn't take either of them long to wonder why they decided to go hiking and camping in the middle of summer.
A little bit after lunch, Gajeel has managed to sweat through his shirt and decides to take it off. This of course earns him a low growl of approval. He simply turns his head towards his mate and sends him a seductive smirk. Gajeel easily notices Laxus' physical reaction to his naked torso, his dragon roaring in victory, as he once again picks up his backpack and continues walking as if nothing happened. It doesn't take them long to reach a small creek, leading up to a shimmering pond.
"Let's set up camp here for tonight. We can use the pond to freshen up, maybe there's even some fish in there to catch."
Gajeel nods in agreement, lowering his pack to the floor before pulling the tent from his backpack. Together they put up the tent, after which Gajeel is the first to freshen up in the pond.
He quickly strips off his clothes before walking into the water. It's cold, but oh so refreshing. His body immediately cooling down, not just from the heat. Gajeel dives beneath the water, soaking his hair in the process. As soon as he resurfaces, he sees Laxus coming towards him, already completely nude. Laxus can't stop himself from licking his lips at the sight of his mate, his dark hair wet and clinging to his body. He steps further into the water, maintaining eye contact, a predatory glim visible in his eyes. A shiver runs down Gajeel's spine. As Laxus reaches him, he lifts his head to look at the blond man. He always forgets just how big the blonde is. Laxus leans into him, his lips stopping right next to Gajeel's ear.
"Do you really think you're so clever, Black Steel? Taking off your shirt and walking away from me like that."
Gajeel swallows thickly, pulling back and looking straight in Laxus' eyes. "Doesn't matter if what I did was smart or not. I got exactly the reaction I wanted from you." Before Laxus can register what's happening, Gajeel wraps his arms around Laxus' neck, before pulling him closer and slamming their lips together.
Laxus groans into the rough kiss, his hands sliding down to Gajeel's hips to pull the man even closer to him, their erections sliding against each other.
As their tongues battle for dominance, Gajeel slowly rocks his hips into his mates', earning him another groan.
Laxus lowers himself deeper into the water so he's able to lift one of Gajeel's legs, hooking his arm beneath the other's knee. Gajeel gasps at the unexpected position. Laxus just smirks at him before lowering his head to Gajeel's mating mark. He starts placing soft kisses around the mark, feeling his lover slightly tremble in his arms. Laxus' free hand slides away from Gajeels hip, towards his back. As soon as Gajeel notices where exactly Laxus' hand is traveling, the latter bares his teeth and bites down onto the mark. Gajeel lets out a strangled moan as Laxus slowly circles a finger around his entrance at the same time. Slowly and gently Laxus pushes his finger inside Gajeel, who holds onto Laxus as if his life depends on it.
"L-Laxus!" The blonde growls in approval, the sensation rippling through Gajeel's mark, sending another wave of pleasure through his runs his fingers through Laxus' hair while his own head leans backwards, exposing his mating mark further. He can feel Laxus smiling against his skin before launching another attack. Laxus closes his mouth over the mark, his tongue lightly gliding across the sensitive skin. Meanwhile he pushes his finger deeper inside Gajeel, earning him another moan. Involuntarily, Gajeel's hips buck against Laxus', causing more friction on both men's erections.
Laxus sucks on the skin of Gajeel's mark, while pushing a second finger into Gajeel's entrance, before setting a slow but firm pace. He can feel his lover trembling in his arms, trying his best to stay upright. Laxus pulls back and looks at his mate, whose face is stained with a heavy blush, his mouth slightly open due to his heavy breathing. Laxus' dragon growls in approval, Gajeel has never looked so hot and bothered before, or so submissive to Laxus.
The blonde releases Gajeel's leg and slowly pulls his fingers back. He leads Gajeel towards the shore and signals him to lay down on the ground. Gajeel obeys the silent command, his arms reaching up to grab onto Laxus, who settles himself between muscular thighs.
Laxus leans down to capture his mate's lips, this kiss being slow and gentle, very affectionate. Gajeel is slightly in shock because of how gentle and loving Laxus is. Until now they've only been at it like horny dragons. Gajeel cups Laxus' cheek, his thumb caressing his cheekbone, while his free hand travels across his broad back. Laxus shivers at the touch, nipping at Gajeel's bottom lip before pulling back slightly.
"Who would have thought the great Black Steel Gajeel could look so cute?"
Gajeel can feel even more heat rushing to his face at Laxus' remark, before looking away in embarrassment. Laxus simply smirks in victory, leaning down to kiss Gajeel's cheek before whispering: "I'm going to put it in now, okay?"
All Gajeel can do is nod. Laxus pulls his hips upward, the tip of his cock resting against Gajeel's entrance. He starts pushing his way in, gritting his teeth at the tightness.
"Fuck, Gajeel!" Laxus thrusts his hips forward until his length has been swallowed completely.
Gajeel arches his back off the ground as a cry escapes his mouth. They've already done it a few times but he still can't get used to the feeling of Laxus inside of him. Laxus leans down and takes hold of Gajeel's hand, their fingers intertwined. Laxus pulls back until only the tip remains inside before thrusting forward again. His hips keep repeating this motion, slow and steady.
But Gajeel can't take much more of this. "Laxus, please…"
Laxus' free hand travels to Gajeel's face, his thumb tracing along his bottom lip. "Please, what? Tell me what it is you want me to do." His hips snap forward once again, burying himself to the hilt inside his mate.
Gajeel lets out another cry of pleasure, his free hand covering his face as he whispers: "H-Harder, Laxus."
Laxus' eyes widen and he quickly pulls away Gajeel's hand, he needs to see his face. Gajeel's cheeks are still covered in a deep red blush, his mouth open as he's panting heavily, his eyes half lidded in pleasure. He has never seen Gajeel like this before.
Laxus growls deeply, both his hands gliding towards Gajeel's hip and gripping onto them tightly.
Gajeel sucks in a deep breath of air as Laxus starts thrusting his hips into him at a harder and faster pace. He can feel his skin lightly bruising beneath Laxus' grip, but he simply can't give a damn about it right now. His own release is coming at him full speed.
"A-Ah, Laxus!" Gajeel's back once again arches off of the ground, his body trembling as he reaches his climax.
All Laxus can do is bury himself deep into his mate before he himself comes undone with a loud groan, his seed spilling deep inside his lover.
Both men look at each other, trying to catch their breath. Laxus slowly pulls himself from his lover's tightness, earning him another soft moan. Gajeel looks down at himself, seeing his own semen covering his abdomen as he sighs: "I should go clean myself up."
Laxus just grins down at him. "Who says I'm done with you?"
-Time skip- Gajeel POV
Laxus and I are laying in the ground outside our tent, looking up at the clear night sky, the stars shining brightly.
"Lucy and I used to lay like this all the time, just talking about random things and looking at the stars. She taught me all about them. Their strengths, their traits, their quirkiness, everything. For a long time we thought it would just be the two of us."
"Why did it take so long for her to come to Fairy Tail? The Heartfilia estate is that far from the guild." Laxus rolls onto his side to look at me, the question shining sincerely in his eyes.
"She was scared, because she didn't know what happened to Erik at that time. He did tell her back then that she had a brother, but it was really hard for her to believe that since she had never heard of you. So instead the two of us traveled and trained until she was ready. And now they're already having their own little family." I mumble the last sentence mainly to myself, but Laxus still hears it.
"You feel left behind once again, don't you?"
I nod silently. "Yeah, I kinda do. But it's nothing to worry about. It'll be fine, I'll be fine."
There's concern clearly visible in Laxus' eyes. "Don't write yourself off like that. It's okay to not be okay. It's okay to want things for yourself. In our case we'll just have to take some time to look into our possibilities. But it's not something you have to do on your own, you have me. Now and forever."
I can't stop the small smile from showing on my face. "I like this side of you, Laxus."
"Yeah, well enjoy it, it's not something I show to everyone. It's only reserved for the people I love." His mouth slams shut as he realizes what he just admitted.
"Well, thanks for the honor, good sir." I lean into him and press a soft kiss on his lips. "I love you, Laxus."
He presses his forehead against mine and smiles genuinely. "And I love you, Gajeel."
