The Onsen Episode



Aymeric laid himself out on his Futon, kimono askew, with the solitary bottle of drinkable sake he had found in all the market. He remembered and scorned the thought of heating it up, as the seller had suggested. There was a lot to get used to here, most of all the days off. No one, save for cases of extreme emergencies, ever wanted to work the weekends. So... That left him with entirely more time than he was used to having. He tried to spend some time cooking, making approximations of food he was used to with cousins of the ingredients he grew up with.

Even the bread was weird. He couldn't put his finger on it, though. Too sweet? Too many eggs?

Aymeric pushed his papered window open, leaning on the windowsill to at least try to enjoy the pleasant weather. They had furnished him with a nice little apartment, upstairs from an aging auri woman who tended to the premises. She had been extraordinarily kind to him, yet he still felt like he was barely adjusting.

He took a swig of the sake, letting it rest in his mouth for a moment before swallowing. He looked utterly boneless.

Aza snorted at the chaste comment, unable to even imagine it. While Aymeric was charismatic and well-behaved in public, he was also a fiend with a surprisingly lusty mouth when it suited him. Not that Aza minded at all...

"You make me sound like a filthy bastard," he complained, shamelessly enjoying his partner washing him down. He liked being pampered, okay? A low, barely audible purr rumbled deep in his chest, the tip of his tail flicking this way and that in an open show of contented enjoyment, "I washed two days ago... kinda."

'Kinda' being that he was chased into a lake by Bluebird after he took his teasing too far. He had stayed for two hours in that lake by the time his sister grew bored enough to wander off, so it counted as cleaning, right? The water had been sort of scummy though, but, whatever.

Aza obediently shuffled round until his back was facing his partner, his tail giving a very lazy flick before it dipped its length into the bathwater. It was going to be a bitch to dry the fur out, since his winter coat was still grown in - his body hadn't gotten the memo that Ishgard was no longer going to be a frequent destination - but even Aza had a limit when it came to his own hygiene. His fur had been getting so disgustingly matted and dirty that even if Aymeric hadn't suggested the bath, Aza would have had one under his own power anyway.

"Estinien has the right idea of it. I mean, after three days of no washing, any water'll do, soap or no soap," Aza said, just to be contrary, and crossed his legs into a more comfortable sitting position as he pulled his braid over his shoulder, out of the way. The fresh scar in his lower back twinged a fraction, and he gingerly kept his back straight so he didn't aggravate it by slouching too much, "Besides, least we use water. Back home we use dirt to clean. Just toss it on, rub it in, and you're done."

Aza made an odd noise in the back of his throat, like he only just managed to swallow down a laugh.

"Oh, they do oral back home," he said, his voice light with amusement, "Quite a lot of it. Bluebird says it's the preferred way of doing things."

Since, for obvious reasons, Aza didn't really explore his sexuality much whilst living with the Borlaaq-Iriq, he had to take his sister's word for it on that front. Mom had been more than a little overprotective when it came to her little Coeurl, so he honestly never even had a chance to figure that shit out until he struck out into Othard proper and could stomach trying it again. The sex lives of the Borlaaq-Iriq were still a mystery to him, thinking about it. Huh. Weird.

"Which makes sense, since blowjobs are pretty amazing," he added playfully, reaching up to where his braid was hanging over his shoulder and idly undoing it. As always it had degraded into some messy tangle, rather than the neat braid it once was, and he carefully raked his fingers through the thick locks, wincing whenever he hit a tight and stubborn snarl, "Especially yours, handsome. Your mouth's very clever."

At the mention of shedding, though, he let out a quiet sigh, flicking his tail out of the bathwater.

"Yeah, I'm still getting rid of my winter coat, so it's going everywhere," he grumbled, dropping his hand from his hair. His ears twitched back, and he said, somewhat hesitantly, "But, if it bothers you, I can... try shaving it down a little, or... something."

Aza visibly perked up at the mention of no shaving, and he glanced over his shoulder with a tiny grin that flashed his sharp canines.

"They tend not to mix clean up time with sexy time, 'cuz bathing's public back home," he said, unable to stop his tail from wriggling when Aymeric deftly began pulling out clumps of loose, wet fur free. Some of those clamps were matted with days worth of dirt, and honestly, Aza was so fucking grateful his partner (weirdly) enjoyed grooming his tail for him, even though it could be nasty sometimes. It felt very nice though, gross matted fur or not, and he shivered right down to the tip of his tail as he purred low in his throat, fighting very hard not to melt into a useless puddle of Miqo'te.

"And it's just what Bluebird says," Aza mumbled after a brief pause, starting to slouch as he relaxed more and more. His lower back twinged painfully, but he ignored it, "I dunno if they prefer oral sex or not. Never really... did sex stuff back then."

He had to pause, though, when Aymeric muttered about being a Miqo'te. That was... huh, a thought. Aymeric didn't look right in his mind's eye with Miqo'te ears and tail, and his hair was so thick and so frizzy when damp, it'd be a nightmare to groom.

"We'd drown in shed hair if you were a Miqo'te," he sighed, "Best you aren't one."

[personal profile] steppechild 2018-09-19 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Aza supposed Miqo'te did know how to tend to each other quite well - except he sort of missed out on those important milestones. He had to muddle through learning how to attend to his own personal grooming since Auri hygiene differed greatly from Miqo'te hygiene. Honestly, his adopted family ended up using the same methods for grooming ponies on his tail and that kind of worked, so Aza carried on with it. But he didn't feel like explaining this, so he just let out a noncommittal hum in response.

At the mention of Auri men though...

"Oh, Gods, I feel you on that," Aza sighed wistfully. He admitted it. When prowling Othard a few years before he travelled to Eorzea, he did go through a phase of leaping from one Auri's bed to the next, trying to settle a bet with Bluebird as to who were better lovers: Xaela or Raen. The Raen won, in Aza's humble opinion, even if Bluebird persistently contested the results even to this very day, "But appealing or not, they are pretty big, handsome. Always a danger of choking with them. They're not a comfortable mouthful like me, ha."

Hence why Aza always tended to be a little slow and careful whenever doing blowjobs himself. Past experiences before Aymeric had always had them be rather... trying ordeals at times.

Auri biology was truly a mystery, one Aza was content to remain a mystery, in all honesty. Women were small, men were huge, and sex was somehow not a terrible, traumatic experience for them. That's all Aza needed to know on that front.

"That certainly explains how you're so fucking amazing with your mouth. You were a very busy, naughty recruit, huh?" Aza mused aloud. First time Aymeric had pleasured him orally, Aza almost fucking died it had been that perfect. Privately, a small part of him got on his hands and knees and thanked all those lucky bastards who helped Aymeric refine his sexual prowess into something downright lethal. Thank you, nameless Temple Knights. Thank you.

"Oh, I'm..." Aza trailed off to let out a rather breathy purr when Aymeric smoothly stroked him from the base of his tail to the very tip without his brush catching once. He immediately melted. "I am... mm..."

Oh, that felt like heaven, he thought happily, his tail beginning to curl upwards slightly in a clear sign of pleasure, "I'm... kind of, am enticing.. oh, that feels really nice..."

Aza inhaled sharply when Aymeric suddenly pulled him close, unthinkingly tilting his chin up to bare his throat a little. He unthinkingly pressed his hands against his partner's chest, palms flat, fingers splayed, before letting them slide up enough for him to hook his arms around Aymeric's broad shoulders, pretty much making it very clear to anyone who'd walk in that Intimate Things were happening. Not that Aza cared about that right now. He desperately wanted...

"You're such a flirt," he murmured, shivering to the very tip of his tail when Aymeric thumbed at his pubic hair, making hot anticipation stir low in his belly. He felt a little embarrassed at how quickly it riled him up, feeling himself stiffen, but Aymeric just had that effect on him. Honestly, his partner only had to look at him sometimes, and Aza would find himself fighting the urge to just fucking jump his bones and ravish him senseless.

Common sense was kind of knocking on the back of his mind then, pointing out that they were sort of in a communal bathroom and anyone could walk in at any moment. Aza politely told Common Sense it could go fuck itself, and instead, possibly unwisely, rocked his hips very gently against Aymeric's hand, leaning up with a very low, needy rumble purring in the back of his throat.

"But, I only want you too," he admitted roughly, meaning every word, "No one else... really compares to you, handsome."

Aza let out a low, guttural noise deep in his throat when Aymeric pulled him close, his strong, broad hands gripping underneath his thighs and lifting him so they were dangerously close. It took every scrap of willpower not to start mindlessly humping against that too-perfect stomach pressing up against his cock, his hand blindly pawing up to curl his fingers into Aymeric's thick hair, pressing hungrily into the kiss.

Mindful of his overly sharp canines, of course. Aza wanted to bite, he always wanted to, loved teasing that very tempting bottom lip until it was red and swollen - but he stifled the urge, digging his nails into Aymeric's shoulder instead when he felt his partner's hard cock rub up against his ass. His tail instinctively lifted, his hips tilting to- but abruptly found himself dumped on the bath ledge, Aymeric sinking low and-

"Fuck," he gasped, tangling both hands into his partner's hair and holding on for dear fucking life when that too clever mouth and tongue descended on him without warning. Every drag of that hot tongue, the warm lips, Aymeric's quick, panting breaths - it was driving him insane, and Aza made the mistake of looking.

Aymeric between his spread legs, looking up with dark, hungry eyes beneath his thick eyelashes, reddened lips against his cock, with that expression- fuck, that face needed to be made illegal for the good of his sanity. An embarrassingly desperate whine wrenched out of him, his fingers restlessly stroking through that lovely dark hair as his hips started to rock desperately, wanting - needing - more. He was certain that if someone walked in right now he just - would not care. Not with this sitting right between his legs.

"You're too amazing," he moaned quietly, unable to stop the breathy, desperate praises from slipping out. Like he'd want to stop them. Aymeric deserved every whimpering adoration until the end of time, "So amazing, Aym, fuck, you look so good like this, on your knees. I want..."

Aza made a very tense, strangled noise when Aymeric teased him, kissing down to his knee, his fingers trailing over the ugly, thick scars that rippled over his thighs. His legs shifted, fighting the urge to close them, and pushed them wide instead, applying very gentle pressure to the back of Aymeric's head until his partner deigned to dip close, his hot breath fanning over the tip of his cock...

"I want you to-" Aza began in a low rumble... only to abruptly tense and clench his fingers in Aymeric's hair, stopping him just short when the Echo pinged a very loud and frantic warning of INCOMING. His ears flicked upright, alert, hearing the footsteps of someone approachi- shit!

"-get down because someone's coming!" he finished in a quiet, panicked whisper, pushing Aymeric's head down, under the water, without thinking before realising he was sitting here with his fucking cock out. No way was he being caught like this by a fucking stranger, so he hastily slipped off the edge of the bath and into the water himself, ducking right underneath so he all but landed flat on his ass on the bathtub's bottom, almost nose to nose with Aymeric now. A stream of bubbles left him as he exhaled, then inhaled the warm water and felt it fill his lungs, that weird, ticklish tingle of the Kojin's Blessing warming up his chest cavity.

This was fine. They could just wait until the intruder left. Aza could breathe underwater fine, and he could just breathe into Aymeric whenever he started to run out of air. It was a tactic that worked, he had proven it in a very awkward situation with Bluebird that they vowed never to speak about again, and he pulled at Aymeric, pointing at his mouth as he let out another oxygenated exhale, bubbles drifting up, then pointed at Aymeric, hoping he understood.

Aza was tempted to speak - the Kojin's Blessing allowed him to do that as well underwater, but he always sounded distorted and bubbly when it he did underwater talking, and Aymeric might find it weird, so he kept his mouth shut. Instead he relaxed his grip on his partner, giving him a small nudge towards the surface of the bath to show he was happy with him going up for air.

Aza himself was... reluctant. His arousal had faded now, because his instinct had kicked into full alert - someone he didn't know was in the same room as him, both of them naked and Aza's weapon out of arm's reach. He felt fidgety and uncomfortably exposed, and he found himself having to force his legs under him enough for him to kneel and sit up high enough so he was breathing normal fresh air, instead of warm bathwater which had been, admittedly, kind of unpleasant.

"Brrgh..." he coughed into his hand, feeling water rattle in his lungs somewhere. It burned uncomfortably, right in the back of his throat, but he ignored it, "I think I'm done with the bath now."

Aza waited until the Raen stranger was very pointedly ignoring them, going so far as to put his back to them, before he climbed out of the bath. He didn't even bother grabbing a towel and drying off. He pretty much dived into his clothes and was fully dressed within mere seconds, ignoring how his breeches and undershirt were sticking to his damp skin, his hair loose and dripping wet. He hastily scraped it into ponytail, keeping his gaze fixed to the floor.

"It would be more private," he muttered, but guilt was beginning to squirm in his gut now. He just made that weird and awkward, he knew, with his massive overreaction, when a normal person might've played it off or just endured the embarrassment. Aymeric didn't need to go wildly out of pocket buying a damn house of all things, just because Aza was a social disaster.

"But," he began, then paused, glancing over the baths, before moving forwards and started to usher Aymeric out. Once the sliding door shut behind him, he continued, "But you don't need to get one, if you don't want one. I mean, I'm... I could've handled that better. I'm sorry."

Aza felt a bit more settled when Aymeric grasped his hands, and gently squeezed them as he peeked up at his partner from beneath his eyelashes. Aymeric looked to be telling the truth. He didn't seem annoyed or exasperated at all, so... the guilty squirming in his belly eased up and Aza relaxed.

"Okay, if you're sure," he said quietly, but he did seem perkier as he stepped a bit closer to Aymeric, gently bumping his hip against him as he urged them back to the apartment. He still kept a hold of Aymeric's hand, reluctant to let go because... well, while his arousal had faded, Aza still had a very strong urge to touch and press close. He knew once they were in the privacy of Aymeric's room, his passion would come flooding back with a bit of coaxing, so he shamelessly snuggled close to his partner's side as they walked.

"Do you wanna breathe underwater?" he asked after a brief pause, "Because I can probably make a deal with the Kojin..."

[personal profile] steppechild 2018-09-29 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
"No God fighting necessary for it," Aza promised, privately hoping that he hadn't just jinxed himself with that. The Kojin were normally pretty cool, so he was sure they wouldn't make him do some bullshit tasking to have it done for his partner, like, fist fight Susanoo because of blah blah reason.

He went quiet after that, soaking up the comforting press of warmth against his side as Aymeric tucked him close, a low, rumbling purr humming in his throat. He never got tired of snuggling against Aymeric, and privately felt a very childish sense of security and safety at having his larger, more powerful body press against him. It was odd, because Aza thought he'd rankle at the feeling of needing to be protected but... he still liked it.

He sighed when they stepped back into the privacy of Aymeric's apartment, stepping away as his partner practically threw off his robes and towel. He pulled his damp hair loose from its ponytail, fluffing it out just as Aymeric turned back to him and approached with eyes dark and intent.

"You're so impatient," he tutted playfully as his partner grasped and pulled him along, leaning up into the kiss and squirming at the large hand running over the curve of his hip. Then Aymeric murmured that, and Aza made a very embarrassing, breathless little groan when his mind very gleefully leapt feet first into the fantasy of Aymeric panting and arching under him and-

Okay, focus. Aza inhaled deeply, curling his fingers into Aymeric's open kimono before pushing it open wider, his palms smoothing over that very tempting, bare chest, until his fingers brushed against one pert nipple, where he idly rubbed a lazy circle over it.

"What's the magic word?" Aza purred, his voice deep and husky, "Gotta remember your manners, handsome~"

There was something darkly, viscerally satisfying having Aymeric like this - tense and eager and very impatient, very much wrapped around his finger. Aza had absolute control over this situation, and there was a brief, mischievous urge to draw it out a little, just to tease but... well, Aymeric was just too adorable like this, too tempting. So...

"Well, since you asked so nicely," Aza laughed breathlessly as Aymeric pulled him down onto the bed and started pawing very pointedly at his clothes. He really couldn't deny his partner anything when he was like this, really, so with a very fond sigh, he started wriggling out of his clothes, gambeson first then the trousers. It wasn't very sexy - he had enough of provocative stripping to last him a lifetime in thank you very much - but it was brisk and methodical, and within half a minute he had tossed his wet clothes somewhere on the floor, now completely naked and on full display.

"Mm, there. Better?" he murmured, as he leaned back on his elbows on the bed, his legs slightly spread to accommodate his partner as he crooked a finger to beckon him closer, his tail very carefully curled away so there was no accidental knee to the tail bone (because nothing was a bigger mood killer than having the weight of a solidly built Elezen squashing your tail), "Now, c'mere, handsome. Get me in the mood."

The noise Aza made was borderline obscene when Aymeric descended on him with too clever fingers and a too hot mouth, making him tremble right down to the tip of his tail as his pulse stirred, hot and fast. He clenched his thighs hard against Aymeric's sides when he felt that calloused palm against the curve of his hip, his jaw tilting up as his partner's panting breaths tickled his throat and had him whining, softly, sweetly, right in the back of his throat for more. Amazing. A few touches and he was just as taut and eager as he was in the baths, aching for...

"A-A little more," Aza managed to force out semi-coherently, lifting a hand to curl his fingers into Aymeric's hair just as he turned his head so their noses bumped, briefly, before he dipped enough to press a half-blind, very desperate kiss to the corner of his partner's mouth, murmuring; "I want- more, o-of, of you, handsome, your mouth, your hands. I wanna feel you- fuck, just fucking- hump me or something...!"

It'd been too long, he realised then. The last time they had been together like this, it had been far too long. Aza almost felt embarrassed at how eager he was being, clinging Aymeric tight to him, almost trembling, so very hard from such little touches... but he didn't shy away. He really did want more, he thought dazedly, his pupils blown from sheer arousal, his eyes dark from beneath his thick eyelashes. He wanted Aymeric's too clever hands and too hot mouth to completely undo him until he was a panting, whimpering mess, he wanted to make Aymeric a panting, whimpering mess, he wanted both of them rutting and arching against each other within the next minute, or so help him he was gonna get Frustrated.
