[ it's late. it's so late. tighnari's heart is heavy with grief and guilt when he approaches kaveh's cottage nearing 2am, still dressed in his pajamas - comfortable sweats and an oversized tee - both arms hugged to his chest. his hair is sleep-mussed and he's pale and drawn, his eyes red-rimmed and puffy, his thick tail lank and tucked between his knees, both ears pinned down.

he doesn't know where else to go. being along right now feels like agony, despite how much he wants to power through it without help. despite how much he doesn't want to burden kaveh, who has been nothing but thoughtful and kind.

swallowing thickly, tighnari clutches one arm to his abdomen, then reaches to knock on the door, before rubbing his hand self-consciously against the fresh new burn scars around his neck. gods, what is he doing.. he should turn tail and go home. he shouldn't be waking kaveh at this ungodly hour - ]

( When Kaveh hears a knocking at this hour, he can't help but wonder if he is imagining things. But then the knock repeats itself, and he realises that he does have a visitor this late. He can't resist dragging himself out of bed to go and see who is there, because a foolish part of him hopes that Alhaitham has returned.

Rubbing his eyes and clad in his pyjamas, he opens the door before noticing that it's Tighnari - and all self-pity that he was currently wrapped in disappears the moment that he realises the state that his beloved friend is in. He already had big concerns over the fox's wellbeing after learning of the place he arrived from prior to this one. )

Tighnari...? What happened? Please, come inside ... ( Kaveh guides him in to sit down on his sofa while he plants himself beside him. )

[ the moment he sees kaveh, all rumpled from sleep, tighnari's heart plummets with guilt, but of course kaveh leads him inside immediately, sitting him down, and tighnari feels as if he might fall apart on the spot. ]

I.. I just -

[ gods, where does he begin? tighnari's eyes sting and his breath rattles. ]

I was.. taken back. Back to Reverie. And Aki, he - he's gone, and Ori, I lost her, too. I lost them both - [ tighnari buries his face against his hands, his ears pressing back hard against his hair. ] I'm sorry for disturbing you, I didn't want to be alone.

( It's utterly heartbreaking hearing him talk with such a pained, raspy voice. It's not like him at all. And it doesn't matter what time of night Tighnari would've dropped by, Kaveh would never turn him away. Especially not now.

He allows the other man to explain, listening intently, before wordlessly wrapping him in a gentle embrace. So Tighnari went to that horrible place again ... )

I'm so sorry, Tighnari ... ( Kaveh feels at a loss for words, honestly. The first ordeal sounded horrific. But why did he get called back there? The thought of him leaving again makes his heart sink - after Alhaitham left, Kaveh can't bare to lose anyone else that he loves. His hold on the fox gets just that little bit tighter. )

Please, don't apologise. You aren't disturbing me and you never could. I'm here for you. ( Soothingly, he rubs his hand across the fox's back. ) I'm not going anywhere. You don't have to be alone tonight. You can stay here with me.

[ you can stay here with me, kaveh says, and tighnari feels a little of the tight pain in his chest loosen.

tighnari prides himself on his sense of independence, on his ability to stand on his own two feet, he hates to have to rely on someone else.. but that is what friends are for, isn't it? he knows full well that if anything like this happened to his own friends, he would be more than happy to shoulder their burdens, to help them carry the ache in their hearts. ]

I'd.. like that. Thank you.

[ kaveh's arms feel warm, good, solid, he smells nice and familiar, like home. gods, tighnari misses home. leaning his weight into kaveh's side, tighnari rests his heavy head against his shoulder, one of his long ears flicking against kaveh's jaw, soft and warm. ]

They put a shock collar on me. Like I was some.. damned animal.

( Tighnari will feel Kaveh's muscles tense up beneath him as he lays in place. The blonde man withdraws from his hold, gently combing some of that dark hair out of the way with his fingers. He sees the scar - and his stomach drops. What kind of monster could possibly...? )

Tighnari-- Whoever did this to you ... ( Kaveh has a strange roughness to his voice - it's not the same kind of tone he gives to Alhaitham, even when he makes him mad. This time, he's furious. )

Mark my words, they won't live to see another day if they dare come anywhere near you again. ( His hands are trembling with anger. ) Are they here? Where can I find them?

Edited 2023-03-07 15:47 (UTC)

[ tighnari can't help the sad, tremulous smile that spreads across his face. kaveh is so kind. he's such a good friend, and if anything, their time here has only brought them closer still. kaveh's fury on his behalf is a little painful, if only because tighnari doesn't want his friend worrying so on his behalf, but it still warms him that kaveh cares enough to be so deeply angry. tighnari knows full well that he would be the same, were their situations reversed.

he hums softly. ]

No, they're not here, thankfully. And I think.. I think she's done for, soon, anyway.

[ for the first time in a long time, something like hope sparks in his heart. ]

The being that possessed her, I think they can defeat it.

Is that so ... thank the Gods.

( It's a relief to here. Really, it is. The exhale that Kaveh makes is paramount, but he doesn't slacken his grip on Tighnari. If anything, it tightens. The blonde man rests his head against the other's neck, blonde hair fanning down on his shoulder like a waterfall. )

Alhaitham vanished from this place. ( This is the first time he's said it out loud. ) I ... I can't lose you too.

[ tighnari's expression softens into one of gentle concern, and understanding. while kaveh and alhaitham may spat almost constantly, tighnari knows his friend more than well enough to be able to see past it. ]

If I have any say in it, I won't leave you alone, here. Don't worry.

[ gently, tighnari leans his cheek against kaveh's hair. he smells nice, as he always does. ]

That was one of the hardest things about Reverie. Not the games, not the pain. Being separated from my family. My parents, Collei, you, Cyno.. it's difficult to be without the ones we rely on.

( When Tighnari says that, Kaveh trembles - a sudden rush of emotion overwhelming him, making him feel as though he could cry. Just the promise of not being left here alone really strikes his heart in the right way. It seems that Tighnari feels the same, once Kaveh hears a description of Reverie. )

I agree wholeheartedly ... ( He strokes the other man's silky dark locks of hair, appreciating how soft they are to the touch as he comforts him. ) Tighnari, would you stay with me tonight?

[ he hears the little spike of kaveh's pulse, feels the soft shudder, and smiles weakly. kaveh is truly an incredible friend, easy to rely on, gentle and kind. ]

I'd like that very much.

[ tighnari does not say it, but.. he does not want to be alone. ]

Thank the gods ...

( They need this right now. Both of them do. And try as he might, Kaveh may never be able to articulate just how soothed he feels while nestled against the other man's body like this in their shared embrace. Tighnari's familiar smell is so calming ... he's one of Kaveh's most treasured people, and the architect is so glad that he is away from those who hurt him. His embrace is a little bit protective, a tight hold that has his body pressed close to the smaller man's, to the point where Tighnari is almost in his lap.

And, hm.

Speaking of point.

It seems that Kaveh's sentimental feelings are having a very unexpected effect on him. Something that might be poking Tighnari in the leg. )

[ they're quite close, close enough that he's surrounded by kaveh's scent, and tighnari leans into it with a soft sigh, humming under his breath. they should probably move from here, get into bed properly, but - ]

.. Kaveh.

[ your dick is hard

bruh

tighnari looks surprised, before his cheeks color, and he chuckles, leaning his forehead to kaveh's temple. ]

I'm lonely, too.

( He's all too happy to nestle closer to Tighnari, and ... )

( --wait )

( OH. HE'S ... OH NO!! )

Edited 2023-04-19 01:28 (UTC)

--Gah!

( WELL, TIME TO PANIC. Kaveh detaches himself momentarily, blushing hot enough to burn his cottage to the ground. )

I-I'm so sorry! I don't know why this has happened! It's nothing to do with what we're going through, I just ... ( he gROANS WITH FRUSTRATION ) I-I ... It'll go away, I ... promise ... ( Nice going, boner, for ruining what would have been a perfectly tender moment. )

[ kaveh is, of course, freaking out, and it's enough to make tighnari smile. his heart aches, but he feels warm and comfortable here, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't thinking along similar lines. lonely hearts resonate with one another, after all, and they both feel they have a void to fill.

tighnari shifts, slipping more fully into kaveh's lap, his thighs parting to better straddle his hips. both hands smooth along kaveh's cheeks, his padded fingertips tracing his jaw, slipping into his hair. ]

It's okay, Kaveh. Relax.

[ for all kaveh is agitated, tighnari is equally calm, relaxed. the pads of his thumbs glide over kaveh's cheeks, drawing his eyes to his own. ]

( Guess who's not relaxed!! It's him!! Even with Tighnari's gentle change in position, Kaveh isn't quite allowing himself to accept this. He's ashamed! Embarrassed! Mortified! And yet ... the way Tighnari situates himself in his lap feels good. Oh, the conflict. )

I...! I can't relax! I'm ... so ashamed ...

( But what is there to be ashamed over, honestly? It's just a thing that happens sometimes. )

I hope you don't think I'm a freak. ( Like, getting a boner during a time of crisis is absolutely up there on the list of situations he dreads experiencing. )

These things can't be helped.

[ tighnari might not be a cis man, but he's absolutely an expert on the human body and its functions, so he knows more than enough to be able to sympathize. he certainly doesn't envy kaveh his predicament. tighnari shakes his head. ]

And of course I don't. Like I said, I think we're both.. lonely.

[ and the fact that tighnari's heat is beginning to sneak up on him isn't exactly helpful, either. he feels pleasantly warm all over, an itch starting beneath his skin, the press of kaveh's erection against the inside of his thigh still nagging. one of tighnari's hands drops, smoothing down the front of kaveh's shirt in a way that could only be interpreted as suggestive. ]

( Holy shit. Kaveh sucks in a breath so hard that it's audible. )

Ah ...

( Where are his words? Can he even think at the moment? Unbeknown to the architect, Tighnari's heat is the reason that this has happened to his body. It's not because he's secretly aroused due to his friend's time in Reverie and his own misfortunes. Gods, no. Those thoughts make him the opposite of horny. )

You don't mind...? ( He asks, situating both of his hands on Tighnari's hips. It's a bold move for him, really. But ... he can't stop. )

[ kaveh's hands fall to his hips, and tighnari shudders in his lap, an ache blooming between his thighs. ]

I don't mind.

[ he echoes, and slips his arms over kaveh's shoulders, heat rising up his neck and bleeding across his face, his eyes hooded. he bites his lower lip, searching kaveh's face - tighnari's heat is not so strong that he cannot control himself, yet, so if kaveh doesn't want this, tighnari wants to respect that. his throat works as he swallows, his hips giving a slow, experimental roll down into kaveh's lap. ]

Do you?

Gods no.

( Which is Kaveh's way of saying that Tighnari is gorgeous, and anyone would be out of their mind to deny him. The blonde man pushes his hips up to meet the roll of the fox's own, humming out a low moan from how wonderful it feels. Even the friction alone is enough to make his head spin. Kaveh's lashes flutter as he gazes into Tighnari's eyes, thumbs sinking deeper into the smaller man's hips, with his breath clouding heavy every time he pants. Wow, he's really hot and bothered now. )

If it's not entirely inappropriate ... ( He kisses the corner of Tighnari's mouth. ) I think we deserve to let ourselves feel good. Just for a moment. ( Because what better way to distract from one's intrusive thoughts is there apart from sex? Clearly, by instinct, both of their bodies want this. Maybe even need this. )

[ tighnari's hands bracket kaveh's face, his soft, padded thumbs smoothing over the hills of his cheeks, his eyes heavily lidded. those thumbs pressing into his hips make his pulse spike, and tighnari sucks in a soft breath. ]

Just for a moment..

[ he echoes, slow and soft. tighnari isn't the sort of person to bury his pain in sex and substance, but tonight.. just tonight - it'll be all right. he's with kaveh, someone who knows and understands him, someone who cares for him, who tighnari cares for in return, and he thinks kaveh is absolutely right. they deserve this. they deserve to lose themselves in a little bit of pleasure and closeness.

so he says no more, only turns his head to press their mouths together firmly, properly, one hand dropping to smooth down the front of kaveh's chest. ]

( Kaveh returns the kiss with vigour, surprising himself with how ... easy this is. He's not entirely sure why it is so easy - but if he were to warrant a guess, it would likely be due to how much he trusts Tighnari. In all ways, he's a sensitive and romantic person, and showing someone important to him how badly he wants and needs them with an act of intimacy may be a stretch beyond the normal boundaries of friendship, but it works. At a particular angle where Tighnari rolls his hips against the impression of his erection just right, Kaveh moans eagerly because - fuck, yes. This definitely works.

He detaches from the fox's mouth, peppering kisses across his cheek and down his neck. Kaveh's kisses are feather-light and gentle, a stark contrast to the burn marks on Tighnari's skin from the shock collar that he was subjected to. The blonde man sighs, hands roaming the other man's smaller frame, one hand stroking his tail while the other squeezes his backside. )

Let's go upstairs. ( He murmurs against the skin of his neck, scooping Tighnari into his arms before turning to carry him up the stairs bridal style. Once they make it to his bedroom, he turns the lights on dim, before laying him down on the bed as they resume their kissing and grinding. )

[ it is easy. tighnari is not nearly so romantic a creature as kaveh is, but there is a complete and absolute trust between them that makes this all feel very simple, very natural, and a real and tangible love, as well. perhaps not the sort of love that would have them seek one another as a mate, but a different sort of love, all their own. one that makes all of this feel very comfortable.

and then tighnari is scooped up into kaveh's arms, and at first he's startled, holding to kaveh's shoulders. ]

Now, hang on a moment -

[ he doesn't need to be carried!! but soon he's laughing, soft and easy. all right. he'll allow it, if it makes kaveh feel better. they're upstairs quickly enough, and tighnari's arms open for him again, one thigh hooking over kaveh's hip, while both hands tug at his loose shirt, attempting to pull it up over his head. ]

( It's sweet that the two of them could share a moment of laughter prior to getting intimate. Kaveh can already feel the worries and stresses of their current struggles melting away the more that he gets to see Tighnari elated. The generous blonde man knows fine well that being able to please him sexually will enhance these feelings further. In every way, he is an empath. What harm is there in a little sexual healing? )

Mm ... ( Helping the fox remove his shirt results in him taking a moment to drink in the sight of his petite, slender body. Kaveh glides one of his hands over his navel, stroking the dip in his waist, bending down to kiss the scars on his chest. ) You're so beautiful.

( He shuffles his pyjama pants off and onto the floor, leaving him in only his night shirt and boxes. His erection is even more pronounced than before - causing the material to tent. With one arm secured around Tighnari's frame in a comforting hold, he resumes kissing him, his hand now skimming down between his thighs. He runs his index finger over the front of his underwear, applying pressure to his clit. )

If you want to stop at any point, please tell me, okay? ( Kaveh is soft-hearted enough to happily ignore his own erection if Tighnari feels any sort of discomfort. )

Edited 2023-04-20 22:00 (UTC)

[ kaveh will find that tighnari's scars are.. quite plentiful, in fact. aside from the burn scars ringing his throat, there are others. the ones from his top surgery, of course, which kaveh is more than familiar with, and the spiderweb lichtenberg scar that webs down his left arm and chest, but.. others, as well. there's a messy puncture wound between his ribs, and three long, wide ones directly across his middle, like the swipe of a great claw.

but all since healed over, now. all only memories, and kaveh's kind words make him smile. ]

I will. And I could say the same to you.

[ he murmurs, pressing their mouths together, his words breathless as kaveh presses the tip of his finger against his clit, and even through the fabric of his underclothes it's enough to make tighnari arch and sigh, his thighs spreading wider. warm pleasure blooms in his belly, and he rocks his hips upward, one hand slipping into kaveh's hair, the other moving beneath his friend's shirt, smoothing over soft, warm skin. ]

Flatterer.

( For all the scars of pain that Tighnari has received, there's nothing that Kaveh wants to do more than give him a pleasurable experience to compensate for all the pain and suffering that he went through. He kisses his friend tenderly, adoring the way that he responds to his touches - which only arouses him even more. Kaveh is certainly a generous lover by nature. His hand dips beneath the fabric of the other man's underwear, caressing his folds with his fingers in a soothing massage, appreciating how wet he is. He then glides two of his fingers inside of him, thumbing his clit every time he presses down to the knuckle. )

[ he is a generous lover, almost too generous, tighnari is beginning to feel like a pillow princess, lying here accepting what's coming, but he can hardly pull away when kaveh's hand slips down into his underclothes, long fingers slipping along his cunt, sliding inside of him - ]

Kaveh -

[ tighnari breathes the name like a prayer, a shiver sweeping down his body as he parts his thighs wider, rocking his hips upward with a low, shuddering moan. he's already sinfully slick, kaveh's fingers glide with ease, and sweet, gentle pleasure rolls over his body like the swell of a wave.

but it's time to be an active participant. tighnari frees a hand to return the favor, smoothing a padded palm between kaveh's thighs, feeling the heat and shape of his cock through the thin fabric of his underclothes, and squeezing. ]

( The way that Tighnari reacts is so cute. It's nice to see him in this way. Not just because it's incredibly erotic, but because Kaveh knows that he is causing this. The blonde architect has nothing of a full ego - far from it. But being able to make the smaller man writhe and moan swells him with pride.

Kaveh takes a moment to drink in the sight of the way that Tighnari's face twists with pleasure when he fucks him with his fingers. He's beautiful. Almost unfairly so. Taking his other hand, he pulls the fox's underwear off and discards them on the floor, stationing himself between his legs.

He has ... never done this before. But he's being guided by pure instinct. The most incredible aroma is wafting from the fox due to his heat, and Kaveh finds it intoxicating. Widening his legs, the blonde man leans down until he is face to face with that swollen wet sex, before he slots his tongue between those slick folds. Kaveh starts using his mouth and tongue to lavish Tighnari's sex - suckling the lips, massaging his clit. Mmmm ... gods, he's delicious. )

[ well, so much for attempting to give kaveh some pleasure - he's soon well out of reach, lowering himself between tighnari's legs in a way that makes his gut clench up in hot anticipation. ]

Oh -

[ there's a soft cry, and a sharp inhale when kaveh's hot mouth presses against his cunt, and tighnari's eyes flutter closed for a few moments, a shiver sweeping down his body. he spreads his thighs wider, one leg sliding over kaveh's shoulder, heel pressing into the dip of his spine to keep him in place, while both hands immediately drop to tangle in all that blonde hair. ]

Kaveh.. mm.. is this.. is this all right..?

[ he knows full well how much, uh, kaveh loves dick. so. ]

( When Tighnari asks this question, Kaveh withdraws only for a moment, flashing an intense gaze up at him. )

If it wasn't, I wouldn't be down here.

( It might be brand new territory, but it doesn't mean that he's not into it. In order to really put emphasis on his enthusiasm, his fingers bite harder into the fox's thighs as he resumes devouring him with his lips and tongue, humming softly against the flesh in his mouth to stimulate gentle vibrations. He listens intently to the way that Tighnari reacts, lavishing his sex, eager to make his fox friend feel as good as possible. )

Mm.. good point.

[ kaveh knows him, knows his body, he knew very well what he was getting into when he carried tighnari to his bed. reassured by kaveh's teeth at his thigh and kind words both, tighnari surrenders himself to the pleasure.

at least for the moment. for having no idea what he's doing, kaveh is doing quite well indeed, which tighnari can only credit to his gentle attentiveness. but he'll help him along, a little. dropping one hand from kaveh's hair, tighnari moves a finger between his sex and kaveh's mouth, drawing it over the bud of his swollen clit. ]

Right here.. feels good.

[ cunnilingus 101. ]

( Kaveh doesn't need to be told twice. And there is no way, no how, that he's going to pass up on the opportunity for lavishing Tighnari's clit. He tenderly suckles and massages the bulb - rolling it firmly with the tip of his tongue, before dipping down and teasing those lips with every interval. Archons, he tastes so good. Every moan and sigh that he manages to draw from the fox only enhances his own arousal - he's so pleased that he can provide such wonderful feelings to his beloved friend.

He wants to fuck him so badly, but having the opportunity to do this is such a rarity, he wants to savour the experience. Kaveh can feel his cock pulsing and leaking between his legs, and he can only imagine how great it'll feel to be buried inside of this perfect little pussy. In many ways, he's always found Tighnari to be exceptionally attractive, with his eyes being glued to his ass on more than one occasion. The blonde man adds his fingers, pumping them inside of his friend while stimulating that sensitive nub with his tongue and the rumbling vibrations of his moans, motivated by how gorgeous he sounds with his voice climbing louder and louder like that. It's music to his ears. )

[ ah, that, that - ]

Kaveh..

[ electric pleasure shoots up his spine, snagging ahold of his abdomen, and tighnari keens, his heels digging into the mattress and kaveh's back as his back lifts in an elegant arch. funny, he thinks, how this feels so natural and easy, there's no awkwardness at all, only complete trust as kaveh absolutely devours his cunt. then there's two fingers slipping into him, the way made so easy for how devastatingly wet he is, and tighnari's walls clench around him, squeezing around those deft artists' digits.

he could come just like this, and it's so, so very tempting, but he doesn't want this to be over yet. after a few more moments of whining and twisting against the sheets, he begins to tug at kaveh's hair. ]

I want to touch you.

( As much as he wants to resist being touched in order to keep his focus on Tighnari, he can't be selfish here. Ironically, his generosity can seem selfish. Kaveh withdraws from the fox's sex, throwing off the rest of his clothes until he's completely nude. His wet cock drools between his legs, with him looking very visibly aroused after performing oral on him. It can't be helped, really - his subservient nature comes out very clearly in sex.

Kaveh captures Tighnari's lips in a kiss again, guiding his hand to his cock, allowing him to touch him however he wants. He keeps his cock nestled between the folds of the other man's sex, rocking his hips while savouring how good it feels as they grind together. )

Mm--

[ kaveh pulls back, and tighnari immediately misses the wet warmth of kaveh's mouth, but it'll be worth it, in the end - he doesn't want to come too soon, he's greedy, and wants more. his eyes drop to kaveh's cock, heavy between his thighs, and it's enough to make saliva rush to the back of his throat, his breath catching, his cunt tightening up with anticipation.

and then he's distracted by a kiss, by the taste of himself on kaveh's lips. tighnari groans into his mouth, parting his lips, delving with his tongue while his hand seizes against kaveh's cock, squeezing, his hips rocking upward. the underside of that hot length glides against his clit, pressing against his folds, and tighnari keens, shivering, his tail thumping against the mattress. ]

Kaveh - [ he whispers, guiding his cock lower, until the head teases between his puffy folds. ] Fuck me, please..

( Tighnari certainly doesn't need to ask twice. Kaveh is actually impressed by how easily the head of his cock slips inside of him - which causes him to gasp in shock, physically unable to stop the push of his hips as he slowly buries himself in his friend's incredible warm heat. )

F-Fuck-- ( Kaveh stutters, squeezing his eyes shut, a low moan ripping out of him once he becomes fully sheathed inside of the fox. It's not often that Kaveh gets to penetrate anyone, really - and he can't even remember the last time he did. Tighnari feels like a warm, velvety glove wrapped around his cock, and every last cell in his body is awakened with pleasure. The blonde man raises his hips and begins to fuck his friend's perfect hole, moaning with enough passion and vigour to make someone think that this was his first time having sex. It's so good. It's fucking mind blowingly good. )

Tighnari-- ( Kaveh takes hold of his legs and slots them over his shoulders, rolling his head back in ecstasy while he fucks him. )

[ kaveh's reaction is lovely, raw and real and enticing, but tighnari can enjoy it only for a moment before he's reveling in the sweet, sinking sensation of being filled up to the brim by that hot, hard cock.

and kaveh hardly hesitates. his hips are pumping immediately, spurring tighnari to widen the spread of his thighs, snapping his hips upward to meet every hard thrust, his ears full of the wet, obscene sound of their fucking, their quick breaths and pounding hearts. he's all but bent in half when kaveh presses him back. ]

Kaveh.. Kaveh, please..

[ he murmurs, begging, his body on fire, slick rolling in thick droplets onto the bedding beneath them. tighnari's hands scrabble at kaveh's shoulders, scratching deep welts into his skin, seizing at his hair as he thrashes, struggling to meet every snap of kaveh's hips. ]
