Skybound Travelers↲ OOC Plotting

Minimize

As everyone settles into a routine in Nippon, newer refugees may find that visiting the Western Kingdom is something of an undertaking. Although considerably faster than traveling by airship or on foot, the underground train that connects Tokyo and Kyoto still takes at least five hours. And not everyone enjoys the roller coaster-like experience of the Sunday-only time surge that shortens that ride into ten minutes. But lucky for them, the NRL are finally ready to release a special new travel system!

Developed in part thanks to the refugees for gathering the necessary etherblossoms back in March, refugees will now find teleportation terminals available at the NRL in Tokyo and MRU in Kyoto. These terminals only connect to each other, with plans to expand to other cities in the future.

Or at least, that's what they're supposed to do.


Nippon Traveler

With the announcement of fast travel between kingdoms quickly spreading among the refugees, many of them are clamoring to be the first to take advantage. After all, the train is rather inconvenient for those with friends and family in both kingdoms, and even more so for those who wish to work in one while living in the other.

Thankfully, the NRL took this into consideration, and made sure to add additional platforms and a timed queueing system to make things run smoothly, essentially creating a small station on the top floor of the NRL's main building. And with exclusive elevator access on the outside just for traveling refugees, it's certainly built for convenience.

Ready, Aim... Kyoto, Western Kingdom
Despite the fact that the NRL has been using these teleporters just fine for transferring between Tokyo and Kyoto for the past few weeks, the sudden inundation of users is causing the system to overload ever so slightly. As a result, the teleporter hasn't been sending people where it should, occasionally redirecting them to random areas throughout Kyoto.

On the one hand, magic is so commonplace in the West that no one really thinks anything about the Refugees popping in and out of existence, with most natives just assuming they're teleporting using the local magic. But on the other hand, this assumption means the natives will think it's intentional, resulting in a large number of refugees finding themselves in both literal and metaphorical hot water after teleporting straight into a public bath, fully-clothed. Hopefully it's a mixed bath, or they might find themselves being carried away by the patrolling samurai guards for questioning.

In addition to becoming a public nuisance for the natives, some may find themselves teleporting into the homes of fellow refugees instead. They may wind up as an uninvited dinner guest, or perhaps they'll appear during a private or intimate moment between lovers. Some may even end up appearing in a closet, giving them ample opportunity to hide until they can make their escape!

Thankfully, this bug is discovered quickly enough that it only creates a few days of chaos -- so don't let that put you off the technology forever!

Here Comes a Thought Higashiyama, Kyoto
But of all the locations the teleporters are sending people to, perhaps the most common one is Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto's Higashiyama neighborhood. As one of the most famous temples in Kyoto, its already a popular tourist destination, with beautiful gardens, a veranda overlooking all of Kyoto, and is home to a magic school that specializes in the Mizu Element.

Those who are lucky may simply find themselves suddenly standing in front of a very tall pagoda, or overlooking the view of Kyoto. But most refugees will instead find themselves standing before the Tainai Meguri, a dark underground passageway beneath one of the many shrines in Kiyomizu-dera. Naturally, it'll be assumed they want to go in, and they may find themselves ushered down by a shrine maiden or two who don't want them holding up the line.

Blanketed in an inky darkness, the Tainai Meguri is composed of a single hallway and a rope along the wall to help guide visitors down to the lowest part of the passageway, where a mysterious stone can be found. Glowing with a mysterious power, the stone is the only source of light in the tunnel. And those who touch the stone with a clear mind will see the carving in the center change, showing which magic element they have an aptitude for: Tsuchi, Mizu, Hi, or Kaze.

However, those who touch the stone without a clear mind will witness something different. Because the stone in question is a Memory Stone, an ancient magical artifact capable to creating illusions of a person's memories. Once the stone is touched, the light of the stone will jump out into the darkness, projecting illusions of their past on the walls around them. Whether these illusions appear as text, an exact replica of one's memories, or something more abstract, varies by the person.

Those whose memories are being projected may find themselves completely overwhelmed by the emotions they felt at the time of that memory. For this reason, no one is allowed into the Tainai Meguri alone, so those affected better hope that their partner in the darkness is prepared to drag them out of it.

Into the Unknown

As the technology powering these terminals is still quite new to the scientists at the NRL, actually releasing these to the public is still a way off. Although there's zero risk of harm coming as a result of using the terminal, they have noticed that occasionally the terminal registers another point of travel, as if another terminal exists. A reverse transfer always brings them back just fine, but little is known about where these objects are ending up.

To that end, the NRL is asking brave enough refugees interested in exploring to take the teleporter to these unknown locations and report what they find. But don't worry, they're not asking they do this for free! All participants will receive a moderate sum of money, as well as a week-long stay at the Ōwakudani Hot Spring Resort in Hakone, to be redeemed whenever they like.

Cold Cuddles Sapporo, Hokkaido
For the first mysterious location, volunteers will be bundled up in warm clothes, as objects that come back always arrive very cold. And indeed -- upon teleporting, they'll find themselves in the midst of a snowstorm, an ancient version of the same terminal below their feet, and strange ruins all around them. And stranger still, the walls of the ruins appear to be covered in dark blue ice that won't melt no matter how much heat is applied.

It seems this teleporter is somehow connected to Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Nippon. Due to an ancient curse, the land is perpetually snowy and plagued by unmelting ice called everfrost. And while those who visited the region prior may recognize their surroundings enough to know they're actually very close to the city of Sapporo, others may not be so lucky, nor willing to take the risk of missing their return window.

Worse still, they're just far enough away from the city that their magi-comms won't work! With no way of activating the terminal from their side, and two hours before the NRL reactivates it on their end to bring them back, it looks like they'll need to huddle together for warmth to ensure they don't freeze.

Thankfully, the terminal is located in a covered area, and the remains of an old campsite nearby even has some blankets and supplies. And upon their return, they'll be given hot drinks and no shortage of apologies for not considering the risk of giving them such a long window to explore.

Party in the Dark Jigoku, Shitaya
The second mysterious location is by far the most intriguing, as it's clearly somewhere that people have access to, and yet no one has tried coming back through the terminals. Instead, empty cans and half-finished drinks sometimes end up on the terminal, with no explanation as to who was drinking them prior. And as this phenomenon only occurs late at night, that's when the volunteers will be sent.

Upon arriving, at first they'll find themselves blanketed in a perpetual darkness, surrounded by some sort of stone tunnel, with the sound of music echoing from further in. They'll still be able to contact the NRL, leading the scientists to suggest that they may be in Jigoku, the catacombs of an abandoned subway system below Tokyo.

Should they be brave enough to follow the source of the music, they'll stumble upon what appears to be a secret speakeasy in the dark, run by the Hanyo who live in the neighborhood of Shitaya. As many Hanyo still possess the Yokai ability to see more clearly in the dark than Humans, the lack of lighting is more a feature than a gimmick.

Still, for having made it all the way down here, they'll be offered free drinks and a playful atmosphere -- so long as they promise to keep their illegal supply of Uki-based drinks and snacks a secret from the authorities. A popular recreational drug in the West made from the naturally sweet Uki Weed, Uki is highly regulated in the East, and causes lowered inhibitions, feelings of calm or euphoria, and even functions as a mild aphrodisiac.

Which might just be why many patrons are taking advantage of the dark and inviting atmosphere for romantic trysts in the dark, with futons set up in nearby tunnels for all your sensory deprivation needs. The Refugees can contact the NRL to return at any time, so why not let loose and join the fun?

Castle in the Sky

After a week of using the teleporters, Refugees will discover a new warp point is now listed alongside Kyoto and Tokyo: Tengoku, the nation of Tengu, comprised of dozens of airborne cities that float high above Nippon. According to the NRL, the technology used for these teleporters was developed thanks to the Tengu of Skytower, as a much belated thank you for the refugee's help back in March 1921.

And while Skytower itself remains off-limits, the Tengu Capital of Miyazaki has decided to open its doors to outsiders for the first time in centuries.

Fly High Miyazaki, Tengoku
The Tengu cities are unlike anywhere else on Nippon, comprised of a single, massive amount of land that towers upward, and numerous smaller islands that float up and around the main part of the city. Mysterious magic-powered technology can be found all around the city, though the appearance is quite different from the more modern magi-tech.

But perhaps the most notable thing is that these cities are not designed to be very accessible to those who can't fly. Very few actual pathways lead upward into the city proper, and the entrance to most buildings are located on the top floor, with only a small balcony in front to land on. But thankfully, there's a means around it!

Upon arrival to the capital of Miyazaki, all Refugees will be offered a small backpack with a tiny pair of wings attached to it. Upon putting it on and jumping, the wings will grow larger, acting like a part of their body and allowing them to fly! These backpacks will only function in Tengoku, but they're welcome to keep them should they decide to visit again.

Of course, just because they have the power to do so doesn't mean they'll actually be good at it. Refugees may struggle to become airborne at all, or may find it difficult to control themselves in mid-air, flying into walls, other refugees, or accidentally hurling themselves over the edge of the city. Thankfully, there's patrolling Tengu who are always prepared to catch those who fall, but considering it always comes with a lecture, it's really not the best experience.

But those who persevere will be able to fly up to the very top of the city, where they'll find a beautiful garden overlooking the clouds. The flora here is far more alien than anything commonly found in Nippon, with plentiful etherblossoms, crystal-like mahougi trees, and-- is that a nuruname bloom? Maybe stay away from that one...

Liquid Happiness Miyazaki, Tengoku
Being so high up in the sky, completely isolated, meant that the Tengu cities were designed to be completely self-sustaining. Although they do conduct trade with the mainland below, almost everything they need is either grown or produced by the land itself. Which might just beg the question: where is the water coming from? Because nearly every level of the city is accented by canals and waterfalls.

But those who visit on a rainy day will get their answer. As high as they are, the Tengu cities are close enough that they can draw from the magic properties of the ring that circles the planet of Gaia, which is only visible at night. Thus, the rain that falls in Miyazaki has magical properties: in audition to a rainbow color, it can be infinitely multiplied, instantly heal wounds and certain illnesses, and seems to cause feelings of euphoria similar to Kizuna when one stands in it. For this reason, the rain that falls in Miyazaki is referred to as liquid happiness.

But for Refugees, these effects are even more extreme. Those who visit Miyazaki during a particularly rainy week at the tail end of April will begin to manifest severe Kizuna side-effects, especially the supernatural variety. While ordinarily these effects are only possible when feelings of love are present, the power of the rain will allow Refugees to share their thoughts and feelings with the people around them, whether they want to or not.

So strong are the effects of the rain that these effects will linger well after they leave, and may even become contagious to those they meet later on the surface. In the end, the NRL issues a warning for Refugees to avoid lingering in Miyazaki in rainy days until a more conclusive study on this "liquid happiness" can be conducted.

OOC Notes
Welcome to Jikan's April event! Please direct any questions to the Question Thread in the OOC Plotting post.

• Characters will not be allowed into the Tainai Meguri alone, and must descend in pairs.

• Sapporo is roughly a twenty minute walk away, and characters who are familiar with their surroundings will be able to go to the city proper. Magi-comms will also begin to work again. More information on Sapporo can be found on the Setting page!

• You are welcome to assume there is Uki-based incense in the underground party if your character would need an extra nudge to participate.

• Given their isolated status, the Tengu cities only contain Tengu Yokai, who range from entirely human-like with wings, anthropomorphic birds, and the traditional long-nosed variety! Although Refugees may be treated as a novelty by the people there, only elderly Tengu will treat them rudely for being outsiders.

• Characters will find that inns and hotels are both plentiful and cheap in Tengu cities, as the cities are very far apart from one another, and it's very common for Tengu to travel far from home. Miyazaki, for instance, floats above Kyushu near the Westernmost point of Nippon!

[tightbod_bigrod]

He could agree with that. Those were the sort of things he and Rude were often on the same page on. But, there was something more he really needed clarified.

"And what about us? What kind of relationship would we have? And this is your ultimate ideal world, remember."

Based on what he knew of Rude, he could make guesses about how Rude wanted things to be. But he thought they needed to set down what the rules were. What boundaries they could live with to be happy, so that he didn't need to play a guessing game.

"You know me Rude. I'm amazing at fucking things up. This is too important to fuck up." He gestured back and forth between the two of them, still lying back. "I got to know where the lines are drawn."

[suitandshades]

"Us." He repeated slowly. Then turned his head to look at Reno. To just watch him for a moment, organising his thoughts before he could try and put them into words.

Because this was something he had been thinking about.

"We're partners." He said then. "In my ultimate, ideal world... I think I could make you happy. I don't think we're at that stage yet." Rude looked away again and moved the hand holding his drink, the bendy straw found his lips and he took a deep drink. The straw squeaked as he slurped.

"You're not a fuck up. If you were able to fuck us up I wouldn't have been by your side this long, Reno. But no matter what happens, I'm always your partner. And I'm willing to wait for you. When you're ready for me." Because he did know Reno. And he knew Reno wasn't someone who would settle down, who would hate something like that. Rude didn't want Reno to grow to resent him...

[tightbod_bigrod]

He stared up for a while, moving between his mind almost being an empty fog and trying to think. With one leg resting on his other knee, arms behind his head, he seemed completely at ease by sight. But really, he was trying to work out what to do.

"Don't know why you would think you don't make me happy. I always end up home, don't I?"

It was the biggest difference between them. Rude placed more importance on these things than Reno did. Reno went. He played around. It meant little to him and he would come home. He was more sociable in general, outgoing, generally affable and liking to talk to new people. He never considered any of it a commentary on how happy Rude made him.

But that was the sticking point. Where their perceptions differed, and where he didn't want to fuck things up by going beyond Rude's limits, because he didn't see them. A fling was a fling to him, and nothing more.

Finally he raised a finger. "I'll make you a deal. I'll try to just sleep with you, but, then you have to take care of me when I need it. And, the weird stuff that happens around here doesn't count. 'Cause... it's been kind of unpredictable."

It probably didn't reach everything Rude would've wanted, but he was willing to try something.

[suitandshades]

"I didn't mean happy like that. I meant all over." Happy enough to stay, not just to come home to. But Rude supposed he should take the bad with the good. He was used to Reno's habits, there was no changing his mind unless he wanted to change it. It couldn't be forced. And Rude would never try and force it. That wasn't his style.

Because he did place more importance on these things than Reno. He was loyal to a fault. He wasn't the kind to stray. He gave his all. 100% of himself. If there was even a change he could stray he knew that meant there was a problem that would need to be addressed, or something would give.

He took another drink, finishing it this time, and put the glass aside so that he was able to roll himself over to face Reno.

"Alright. That's your offer. Now we negotiate and compromise. Do more than try. No bringing people home. What happens outside happens outside. I don't need to hear about it unless its of importance." Because he really did not need to know who Reno was sleeping with, even before the question of a them came up. It was honestly one of the only times Rude would actually tune Reno out. Anyone out, really. He didn't pay much mind to talks of conquests. It always seemed... crass. Ungentlemanly. He always felt bad for the other parties. "And I'll do the same. Can you work within those parameters?"

[tightbod_bigrod]

It wasn't exactly 'outside of his comfort zone', but more 'outside what he was used to'. But he had Rude's guidelines, knew what he was and wasn't okay with, and he could work inside of that.

"Alright," he agreed, looking up at Rude, but there was still more to clarify, so he held up a finger between them. "One more thing. The business. It's just business. I won't do anything with the models, but I kind of have to see them if I'm going to keep it running."

And he wanted to. It might have been a new venture, but he was invested and excited about it, and he wanted to make sure right now that they were in agreement that him working on it didn't mean he was trying to cheat or anything.

[suitandshades]

"Look but don't touch." Rude nodded. And honestly, on this point he was much more relaxed. He had seen how excited Reno was about this and Rude wanted to be as encouraging as he could. Though the only way he could really show that was by throwing what money he had into the venture so that Reno could hire the people he wanted. Surely that should have let his partner know he was okay with this and not likely to try and put a stop to things?

And then Rude smiled. It was warm, a real, genuine smile as he raised a hand to catch Reno's chin between his thumb and forefinger. "I'm proud of you. And impressed. You put your mind to something and you did it. You've stuck with it. And I'll support you however I can."

[tightbod_bigrod]

"Maybe it'll be bigger than the Shinra Electric Power Company," he joked. But, he didn't really expect that. He just hoped it worked out.

With that, they'd gone over everything they could think of and cleared up what was expected. It'd be a little different for sure, but he felt more comfortable knowing where they were at and feeling more certain what Rude expected of him. Next time he ran into someone offering up sex, he knew what to say.

"Alright, we've talked. Make out time?" He pointed down to himself greedily, lying back on the futon with Rude looming over him.

[suitandshades]

Rude laughed. That drink really had done the trick. He felt... good. Mellow. In the dim light he could see the glitter of Reno's eyes, wondered if he was smiling. He let his hand trail from his partners chin to his neck, thumb softly stroking along his adam's apple, feeling it bob before moving lower and ghosting over where his pulse fluttered against skin.

It was hard to see what he was doing, it was all done via touch alone.

"Just make out?" He asked as he dropped his head to Reno's throat, following the line his thumb had travelled, until he could find that pulse point with his lips... and leave a mark there.

[tightbod_bigrod]

Reno felt good, too. Good that they'd cleared things up. Good because of this place. Good because Rude was on top of him, and who wouldn't want that?

There weren't many people he'd let play with a vulnerable spot like that. Beyond just just feel of Rude caressing his skin, he let him get close to something that would be so easy to do fatal damage to. There was definitely something nice about having a relationship where he could trust someone that much; leave his neck exposed, be essentially at his mercy, and not worry about it.

He snickered at Rude's response. "Well, if you insist. I think I got a favor to return." And with that he slipped both hands down Rude's back, underneath his admittedly well-fit pants, and gave those ass cheeks a good squeeze.

[suitandshades]

It was only fair to return the favour, Reno had paid attention to his own neck the last time. Rude moved up then, to his jaw, lips curving in slow smile when his ass was grabbed. Unlike Reno's, that were a little on the softer side, Rude's cheeks were firm, hard, but still a decent handful.

"I suppose that would make us even." He replied before finally finding his way to Reno's lips where he covered them with his own.

[tightbod_bigrod]

He let out an appreciative "mmm," against his mouth, hands sliding up to the small of his back before he reached down to smack his steel ass with one. The fabric of his pants softened the strike.

When he had a chance to breathe he spoke up in that teasing, devilish tone, "Hey, partner. Have anything you ever wanted to try? Ever secretly wanted to play with a pair of handcuffs or something?"

[suitandshades]

There was the softest of grunts from the smack to his ass, more surprise than anything. He'd had his ass grabbed before, even a little swat once. But to have Reno smack it was something different. And then he remembered he'd done the exact same thing to Reno the last time and almost laughed.

Rude moved then, sitting himself up and decided to just sit astride Reno's hips. Without saying a word he began tugging and pulling at his partners clothes to get them off. Well, he was quiet at first. He was actually considering Reno's words. Because no, he couldn't think of anything he wanted to try. Usually he just fell into things. Either he would like them or he wouldn't. He'd try almost anything once.

"Do you want to tie me up, Reno?"

[tightbod_bigrod]

Darn clothes always in the way of things, weren't they? Reno slipped his hands in at times to help out, happily splayed out underneath Rude. Seemed like Rude wanted to be on top again when he said that.

"Oh?"

His smirked curved up deviously, and he pushed himself up with one arm, sitting up although Rude had him pinned at the hips. Licking his lips, he slid a hand over Rude's chest and looked at his dangerously.

"You want me to tie you down? Be helpless under me, while I touch you and torture you wherever and however I want? You going to let me have my way with you?"

He pushed himself as forward as he could like that, getting his face close enough to Rude's that he could snatch a kiss if he wanted. The clothes Rude had been so adamantly attacking slide down from his shoulders, and his pale skin stood out in the darkness.

[suitandshades]

Rude shifted back enough to allow Reno to sit up, curious of what he was planning on doing, or saying knowing him. He was only half paying attention, too focused on removing Reno's clothes. But the tone of voice being used was still able to send a shiver down Rude's back. He glanced down at his partner once he was able to slip his clothes over his shoulders and pulled them all the way off.

"You've always been able to have your way with me."

In one way or another. This was new. Being like this with Reno was still very new for him, but exciting. At least for Rude. He couldn't help wonder just what Reno got out of all of this. In a world full of enchanting, beautiful and sexual people... somehow he was lucky to gain a little of that attention. He felt grateful for that. To have Reno's eyes on him, however briefly, was pleasure he couldn't quite describe.

[tightbod_bigrod]

"Is that so?"

That was an open invitation for unadulterated chaos. Rude had given him a suggestion; who was he to deny it?

Reno took a look around. As much as he could in the dark, anyway. This once was a subway system, with all manner of thick pipes that went across the walls. What exactly they were for, he didn't know offhand, but it was abandoned so they should have to worry about them being hot or anything.

He placed a hand on Rude's right shoulder and shoved him, following it up with the entirety of his body, to flip him around and get on top of him.

"In that case, I'm gonna take full advantage," he taunted. Not having any rope, he undid Rude's belt, snaking it away from the man's waist. Of course, he'd have to have Rude's cooperation for this, as he brought Rude's hands together to first bind them around the wrist and then to tie them around a pipe behind them. It was too thick, so Reno slid his own belt off shortly after, using Rude's to bind his wrists and his own to tie those bindings to the pipe.

As much as he pretended to unrestrained, he took care to make sure there was enough space around his wrists for proper circulation. They were too professional to make that kind of careless mistake.

He would have Rude all to himself, or at least the fantasy of it. Rude was a tough guy. A couple of belts wouldn't stop him if he didn't want them to.

[suitandshades]

Wasn't his partnership with Reno an open invitation for chaos in and of itself? Everything that was Reno was chaos and Rude had long since gotten used to that. Though this was a wholly different kind of chaos...

He was flipped. And Rude remained calm somehow. If it had been anyone else he might have been on guard, but this wasn't anyone else. And the drink had done its job of mellowing him out nicely. So it was with relative ease that Rude was moved onto his back. And to his amusement his belt was removed. He wondered if Reno had any idea all he needed to do was say the word...? Rude was very good an accepting commands. Both verbal and nonverbal. He could do as he was told. But the belt was wrapped around his wrists, his arms had lifted almost of their own. Facilitating his partners whims. Rude almost laughed when a second belt was applied to the second. It didn't help. He could get out of the bindings with ease. Only he wouldn't. Because Reno didn't want him to. Until he was told otherwise his hands would remain where they were.

There was no fantasy, Reno. Rude was all his. Only he didn't say so. Wouldn't say so, because he didn't think Reno wanted to hear that.

Quitely and calmly he watched his partner, a smirk curving his lips, interested to see what he did with him now he had him where he wanted.

[tightbod_bigrod]

He was a man without a plan, going in and doing what he felt like in the moment. In that instant he wish Rude had hair so he could muss it. His partner was so properly put together, with just little hints of his rebellious side pierced through his ears.

Reno started tearing through his partner's clothing - metaphorically speaking. Rude would be upset if he actually tore it. He threw open that jacket and dress shirt and exposed his hard-worked for torso to the world. If only the people around them could have seen it through the darkness. Reno never did get why Rude didn't seem to know how good he looked.

He leaned forward. Over Rude. Latching onto Rude's sides, his hot tongue flicked out to roll over Rude's chest, searching for the tiny nub in the dark, and when he found that slightly hard spot he assaulted it, sucking, nibbling, teasing it out of hiding. He wanted to get Rude so hard that he could hardly standing staying in the restraints - but he was a pretty composed guy, so he knew it was going to take a lot.

[suitandshades]

Composed he may be. But he was also under the influence. Every touch felt more intense and pleasurable, and he hadn't realised that his nipples could even be that sensitive. That first touch of Renos wet tongue was enough to pull a sharp breath from him. Coupled with the graze of teeth and little suction Rude couldn't hold back a low moan. His hands clenched, flexing before releasing as he made himself relax. He wouldn't break free of his restraints. Not until Reno told him to.

[tightbod_bigrod]

Honestly, he didn't see how anyone could pass by such a fine specimen of man. He had the chest of a god. Maybe Reno needed to take working out a little more seriously sometime.

Nah.

He slid his hands down Rude's sides and dipped them under the hem of his pants, rubbing circles over his hips. His nipple got one final nip and a soft tug before Reno smirked up on him.

"Those pants have got to go."

Already he was pulling on them. This was probably the closest they'd ever get to public sex - luckily for Rude it was so dark.

[suitandshades]

If the pants had to go then the pants had to go. But first he needed to catch his breath after that last nip and the flash of a smile in the darkness. Rude had removed his shades before his hands were bound, he'd wanted to be able to see as much as he could. And he'd seen that smile, could easily paint the rest of the expression in his mind, he didn't need light.

He lifted his hips, making it easier for Reno to yank them down for him. Rude would have tried to help, but... his hands. Sadly he was unable to do much. Reno would have to do all the work himself. Mostly.

As for public sex... Well. Reno had never asked him about what things he liked. And while he had no intention of having sex where people could actually stand and watch, the risk of being caught was something of a thrill.

[tightbod_bigrod]

In one quick whiff the pants were down. Around his ankles, at least. It was fun, being able to do that without worrying about getting in trouble. No particular obligations to bog them down. No reason they couldn't ditch the clothes and have some fun in the middle of a not-so-abandoned subway station. If only a few of their missions had ended like this before.

He slid himself onto Rude's lap, pressing his dick up against Rude's. His was fairly normal in terms of size - he'd never worried to much about that, it was plenty big enough and he knew how to use it - but his vanity definitely showed in not only how well-groomed he kept it but in how it matched his hair. Too bad that couldn't be appreciated too much in the dark.

Heated, stiff shafts pressed against each other, he rocked his hips eagerly to create friction, squeezing them between their bodies and rubbing them together. He wrapped a hand around them to keep them together as he moved, leaning forward and wrapping his other arm over Rude's shoulder as he leaned in for a kiss.

[suitandshades]

In the darkness there was the sound of a low, deep laugh. Rude was more than amused that Reno hadn't even bothered to completely remove his pants. They were around his ankles. It felt so ridiculous. But it was a fleeting thought, as Reno was soon back where he could almost see him, and straddled upon his lap.

Rude wasn't sure what his partner had planned, whatever it was he didn't think he would mind it much.

He wished he could see. Wished he could see how Reno moved above him. Rude felt when he shifted his hips and lined them both up, the friction of Reno's cock against his own caused him to groan in pleasure. And when a hand wrapped about them, the pleasure was only heightened. It could have been the dark, the fact they were in a semi-public place, or the drink he had enjoyed. Whatever it was, every touch felt like fire upon his skin and he found himself lifting his hips to thrust his much larger cock up into his partners hand.

And then he was being kissed. Rude leaned his head up to meet it, straining against the bindings of his hands. He nipped at Reno's lower lip, demanding, wanting more of that kiss.]

[tightbod_bigrod]

He grinded against Rude as he leaned over him and dove in for a taste of his mouth. The nips just got him to press in harder, until their mouths were practically grinding together just like their cocks were. Maybe they'd accidentally nibble too hard. Maybe they'd get a little reckless and leave a bruise. He didn't care. They could laugh about it in the morning. Right now he was letting his other head make the judgment calls.

Every thrust sent a shiver through him. Rude had an impressive cock - he'd always thought so - and being hard and squeezed together felt amazing. He wasn't sure if he wanted to finish like that. Just the idea of stopping to do something else was painful when he felt so close. Would it be good like that? To have their cum splattered all over their stomachs? Maybe...

Of course, that would leave a mess. Even if that would bother Rude more than him, he still didn't want to feel damp while wearing his clothes.

Pulling away with a breathy gasp, he asked Rude, "How do you feel about licking me clean?" Even with the distance his heated pants touched Rude's chin as he tried to catch his breath.

Rude was fine with bruises. He didn't care. A little pain was fine. He was also fine with Reno taking control. That didn't stop him from pulling more against his bindings, groaning as he chased his partners lips and more of those harsh, needy kisses.

They moved together, matching each other in perfect sync. It could have been beautiful if it hadn't been so primal. All either of them wanted was that sweet release, Rude didn't care how he got it, just so long as it was at the hands of Reno.

But then the kiss was broken and words spoken, and Rude almost burst out laughing. Would have, but the only sound that left his lips was a panted grunt after Reno's cock had rubbed against his own in just the right way. "... I'll suck you fucking dry so long as you do whatever you just did again."

"You know it's a fucking bad idea to give away your weakness."

But then, he also knew Reno was an impatient little bastard. And hey, who could give up a promise by Rude to suck them dry? Reno practically fell against Rude, arm slung around him as he went spelunking in the other man's mouth. He was never one to keep his tongue to himself.

At the same time he ground their hips together like it was the last time they would ever get to do this. He might've been in his thirties, but his enthusiasm mirrored that of the teenage delinquent that he looked like. With every thrust he set out to push Rude over the edge and make him keep that promise. Fast, hard, reckless. Maybe a little sloppy, but their was passion behind those heated movements.
