(Such a cute picture of Ball behaving... until you look in the background at the Cheese trying to get the fish.

The soft glow from the dimmed lights in Fen's bathroom actually made his racing heart relax as he was tugged back against a cool, firm chest. He was about to think how surprising it was for Fen to be taking the initiative with physical contact, but he caught himself right before the thought manifested itself.

He actually wasn't too surprised when he actually thought about it.

Sure, Fen wasn't a very handsy person, unlike himself, but he had definitely given plenty of signals concerning wanting to give and receive attention. Ever since the first moments they'd met, Fen had been trying to hold his attention one way or the other. Hell, he still had that same photo as his phone's background from when he'd brought him back to his dad's home and snuck the picture while he'd been asleep.

I really do need to get him to change that picture sometime...

"Never," came Fen's whispered reply as he nuzzled his nose into the crook of Pyre's neck, sending a shiver down his spine that only made Fen tighten his hold around him.

Pyre nudged him with the side of his face, making him slowly lift his head just enough to look at him through lengths of dark bangs with half-lidded eyes.

Fuck, he's so hot.

Pyre blinked out of his daze quickly when he felt Fen press a kiss to his cheek, then reach up and grasp his jaw so that he could turn it enough to settle his lips over his own. It was an extremely brief kiss, but that was just fine. He was more than happy to let Fen take the lead.

"You're hot as hell, too," Fen whispered against his mouth, making Pyre bite back his thoughts.

Feeling Fen's fingers tighten against his jaw, he realized that they had probably been readable on his face, anyways.

"You are absolutely gorgeous. And I mean every, single, inch," Fen said as he slowly guided Pyre to turn until his lower back was pressed against the edge of the counter.

He wanted to respond by disagreeing immediately, but Fen beat him to the verbal punch, again.

"I've seen you naked more than enough times. If there was a flaw, I would have noticed."

Unable to find words, Pyre leaned forward and pressed their lips together again. He wanted to deepen the kiss, but he wasn't sure if Fen was ready for that quite yet. The guy also seemed to have other plans at that moment, because he finally released his jaw so that he could lower his hands to Pyre's hips, then easily lift him up and onto the counter.

Before he could think, Fen was pressing himself between his legs, making Pyre suddenly glad that the lights were dimmed, because he could feel the heat rising to his face. There was no way Fen wouldn't be able to feel his reaction to him where they were practically glued together below the waist.

"I know what I do to you... I've heard you call my name many times when you don't think I'm close enough to hear," Fen whispered as he reached up with one hand and brushed aside some of Pyre's bangs.

Instead of going in for another kiss, Fen leaned forward and to the side slightly, taking Pyre's earlobe between his teeth with a deep, curious hum.

Holy shit, how has no one ever tried to bite me there before?

Pyre quickly wrapped his legs around Fen's waist, pulling him closer as the guy gently tugged at his ear. It was clear that he was still nervous about doing anything with him, but he was loving every single thing he was willing to try.

I wonder if he would use his fangs to bite me there...

As if reading his mind... because he probably was, Fen carefully allowed his snake's fangs to extend and nibble at his ear.

Fucking adorable.

He'd wanted a hard bite, but damn it if the little nibbles weren't turning him on even more.

"I feel like I have my own personal vampire now," he said with a grin as Fen finally leaned back so that they could look at each other. The guy also seemed to need to catch his breath a bit, which only made Pyre grin.

It was pretty dark in the bathroom with only one light dimmed above them, but he could still see the adorable blush that always colored his husband's face whenever they talked a little perversely.

"Hey Fen, can I take off your pants?"

Fen fidgeted for a moment, making Pyre quickly loosen his legs around the guy's waist, but not quite let him go just yet.

"You've seen me naked before..." Fen eventually replied nervously.

It was odd, but his worried words actually made Pyre feel a little nervous, too.

"I absolutely have. You are gorgeous... and I'm a pervert," Pyre replied before sticking his tongue out the slightest bit.

His relaxed reply seemed to calm Fen's nerves a bit, because the guy slowly stepped backwards. Pyre allowed his legs to drop from his waist so that he could move away. He honestly wasn't sure what the guy would do, since this was Fen's first time actually trying to be pervy around him, so Pyre waited silently, his focus locked on the other man as he hesitantly reached to the side and completely turned off the light.

Oh?

He was about to comment about how it was a good idea to turn off the lights and just use what came in through the door since he was so nervous, but when Fen reached over and actually shut the door, too, Pyre tilted his head. It was nearly pitch black in the bathroom now...

"I-is this okay?" he asked as Pyre heard him move again.

"Of course. Whatever you want is fine with me," he replied quickly, not wanting the guy to hesitate or get colder feet.

He heard the sound of fabric being messed with and really wished that he were able to see, but when he felt Fen return to the spot that he'd previously vacated between his legs, Pyre immediately straightened. Heat was quick to spread through his cheeks as he felt the guy's bare skin against his own pants. That brought a question to mind that he couldn't help but broadcast.

How am I not naked yet?

"Y-you can..." Fen mumbled quietly, the words clearly forced.

So cute!

It was very clear that he wasn't quite comfortable about them rubbing their junk together yet, and that was totally fine. In fact...

"Actually, can I, um... touch you?" Pyre asked instead, wanting to divert Fen's attention away from his previous thoughts.

He expected a response right away, but when he felt Fen's cold fingers slip beneath the hem of his shirt and lift it the slightest amount, he grinned.

"Trade? You touch where you want, and I touch where I want?" he said, earning a quiet chuckle from the guy in front of him in the darkness.

The hands that were now grasping the edge of his shirt on either side suddenly yanked it upwards as Fen replied with a little more confidence, "deal."

Pyre was ready to go straight for his target, because no amount of darkness was going to mess up his homing radar, but when he heard his shirt land somewhere off to the side, then felt Fen's shaky fingers begin to feel him up with a shocking amount of fervor, he actually hesitated.

Fen's fingers worked their way up along his lower torso quickly, then slowed as they got to his ribs where some of his old scars began to be palpable. The guy circled a couple of them with his thumbs, but he didn't spend any extra time on them besides that, thankfully. He didn't mind his scars, but he never wanted them to take away time from himself. He knew that a lot of people would say that they made him unique, and they technically did, but he wanted to be worshipped, not his past.

Fen's right hand paused for a moment before it lifted up along his body until its fingers sifted into Pyre's soft hair and tangled there. As soon as the guy had a good grip he leaned forward and pressed his mouth to Pyre's right nipple, making him jump from the sudden contact. Fen's mouth immediately disappeared and his fingers loosened in his hair, making Pyre quickly reached forward and tangle his own fingers into Fen's hair in order to try and guide him back toward him.

"You just surprised me since I can't see well. Please..." Pyre said quietly as Fen allowed himself to be returned to his previous position.

As soon as Fen seemed comfortable again Pyre lowered his hands from the guy's hair and settled them against his upper back to hug him closer as he began to need to focus on his own breathing.

He was honestly surprised by how long Fen decided to focus on his nipple. They definitely wouldn't have been his first, second, or third target, but he was all for anything Fen wanted to do, especially if it included his mouth on any part of his body.

"Hey Pyre?"

Pyre leaned back a little from where he'd been nuzzling his nose against Fen's hair.

"Hmm?"

There was a lengthy pause before he heard Fen whisper so quietly that he had to focus to understand what he was saying... but oh boy when he realized what he'd heard?

He filled an entire drawer in here with lubes and toys...

Pyre lunged forward to wrap his arms around the guy's neck as a giant grin planted itself on his lips. Fen was clearly taken aback by his response, because he actually fumbled backwards into the wall behind him. Thankfully, he managed to wrap his own arms around Pyre's backside so that he didn't fall.

"I guess that was the right thing to do," Fen said with a hint of laughter to his nervous words.

You don't know how precious you are.

"Hey husband?"

Fen made a sound of acknowledgement as he carefully began walking farther into the massive bathroom.

"What do you want to do?"

He was curious where they were going when he was suddenly set down on the edge of what had to be the hot tub in the middle of the room. Fen kept one hand on his upper right arm so that he didn't risk falling as he did something with his other hand. After only a few moments the jets and bubbler system came on in the hot tub behind him, making Pyre realize that Fen was probably getting pretty cold without any clothes on.

Damn, my husband doesn't have any clothing on...

He felt Fen's hand lower to his waist as the other joined it on the opposite side, then gently pulled him forward until he slid from the ledge back to his feet.

"Um... I hope you don't mind, but I'm getting really cold," Fen said, telling him what he'd already guessed.

Pyre was about to turn around and hop into the hot tub, as well as pull Fen right in with him, but he was stopped by those strong, cold hands on his sides. Since he couldn't move, he returned his attention up to the shadowed figure in front of him.

"I-I should ask, right?" Fen said as he nudged at the waistband of Pyre's pants with his thumbs.

Pyre bit back a little laugh as he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Fen's chin.

Oops, was aiming for his mouth, but that's good enough when I can't see much, I guess.

It evidently got the point across, because Fen hesitantly began inching Pyre's pants and boxers down together. As soon as they were dropped to his ankles Pyre lifted his feet to step out of them. He expected Fen to stand back up and get into the hot tub to warm up since his intended task was complete, but when he suddenly felt the guy's cold hand abruptly wrap around his length, Pyre nearly jumped to the ceiling!

As it were, he forced himself to just have an internal heart attack as Fen squeezed him a bit too hard, making a tiny whimper escape his lips. The guy immediately loosened his hold and moved slightly, making him think that he was looking up at him, but damn it was hard to see.

"Sorry, did I hurt you?" Fen asked, already worried.

Pyre had to shove back a million words and a thousand sounds before he managed to get his voice to sound somewhat normal as he responded, "I'm good. Just surprised me a little."

I'm gonna die. My heart's gonna beat out of my butt. My panda's also trying to turn me fuzzy but there's no way in hell I'm letting him out now.

"Pyre?"

Blinking out of his erratic thoughts, Pyre licked his lips.

"Y-yeah?"

A soft chuckle met his ears, making him tilt his head slightly in silent question.

"You are beautiful right now," Fen said, really confusing him.

"But we can't really see each other..." Pyre replied, his voice becoming more hoarse as Fen nonchalantly squeezed and relaxed his grip on him several times.

Another chuckle sounded before he suddenly felt the man's free hand settle against his cheek.

"I'm a snake, love. The hotter you get..." Fen whispered as he got closer, his breath ghosting over Pyre's lips, "the brighter you shine in my eyes."

Holy...

Pyre choked on his next breath as he was tugged forward by his length until his own body was nearly pressed right up against Fen's. His mind was going a mile a minute as his arms wrapped around the man in front of him until each of his hands settled on Fen's absurdly-firm butt cheeks. When he wasn't reprimanded for touching, he greedily began squeezing as a hungry smirk found its way onto his lips. He was just about to begin really groping, but his mind was suddenly short-circuited again when Fen leaned forward and pressed their lips together firmly.

Pyre's lips parted the slightest amount from surprise, allowing Fen to slip his tongue inside.

I am not prepared!

Not that he was complaining! Pyre quickly got his mind in gear and began to reciprocate Fen's affections. For someone who had never kissed someone in such a way, the guy was not holding back. He was still struggling with his breathing a bit, but at this point, Pyre was also having trouble keeping himself from getting dizzy.

He was just about to try and get the guy to turn around so that he could press him up against the wall when he realized something important. Forcing himself to lean away, Pyre broke the kiss. He could sense Fen's confusion about his action, but didn't fight him when he gently grabbed his arm and guided him into the hot tub.

Pyre quickly joined him and wasn't too surprised when he noticed that the guy had settled himself as low as he could in the bubbling water. He was about to say something in his thoughts, but decided to speak the words out loud as he lowered himself into the hot water and wrapped his arms around Fen.

"I love you, and everything you've been trying with me, but please be careful with your health."

Fen's shivering calmed quickly, and to Pyre's surprise, the guy was quick to seek out his lips again once his shaking subsided.

So stubborn... fucking love it.

He wanted to tangle his fingers into the guy's hair, but his mind was focused on other things now. Pyre kissed Fen back until they both ran out of breath and needed a break, then tried his plan again. It was a little more awkward since he wasn't standing now and still couldn't see, but if it was one thing he was good at, it was getting into position quickly.

He had Fen pressed up against the edge of the hot tub in seconds before he leaned forward and got busy sucking and nipping at his neck. Fen's body tensed when he realized what was nudging at his backside, but when he didn't try to push inside or restrict his movements at all in case he wanted to move away, he slowly relaxed. The quiet moans that soon followed told Pyre that Fen was getting more comfortable.

Forcing himself to take his time, Pyre moved one of his hands away from the edge of the hot tub and reached down beneath the water. His fingernails faintly skimmed Fen's muscles, sending shivers through them until he found his target in the darkness and wrapped his fingers around it.

As soon as he gripped him Fen gave out a much louder moan and leaned slightly over the edge of the hot tub, pressing his backside flush up against Pyre's hard length. It felt like fucking heaven, without the fucking.

Patience...

He never knew he had so much of the stuff, but he felt like he was doing a damn good job at not jumping the guy.

"Do you want me to get anything from the drawer?" he eventually asked, his voice raspy as he began licking along Fen's well-defined shoulder-blades.

It took Fen quite a bit before he was able to get enough air in to reply through his panting breaths.

"Not for the first time."

I'm gonna embarrass the hell out of myself if I can't get inside him soon...

Biting his lower lip to force himself to concentrate on anything besides his own pulsing need between his legs, Pyre reached his other hand down into the water and, very, very gently, began nudging one finger into Fen's backside.

He made himself take his time getting the guy ready, and damn if it didn't take a while. Fen kept tensing around his fingers, as if expecting him to just go ham after every poke. After nearly ten minutes Pyre finally felt him begin to relax and allow him to touch him without flinching or clenching his muscles.

"Remember to breathe," he whispered as he finally began pushing his length inside.

Of course, Fen didn't heed his advice, but he couldn't blame the guy. He'd been nervous as hell when he'd let Gin do him, but at the same time, he was also a insatiable pervert, so the pain had been worth the pleasure.

Needing to distract him enough to get him breathing normally again, Pyre stopped his hips and leaned in to nibble at the guy's ear.

"Breathe, Fen."

He waited for a few moments until he felt Fen slowly relax again and take in a few deep breaths.

There you go.

Not wanting to prolong the guy's worry and risk having him tense up again, Pyre got to work nibbling and tugging at his ear as his hand worked between Fen's legs. At the same time, he carefully pushed himself farther inside.

His entire body was shaking with adrenaline by the time he was finally completely situated inside. There were so many words whirling around in his mind as he gently began moving his hips back and forth, but instead of focusing on his own growing pleasure, he wrapped his arm that wasn't between Fen's legs around the guy's firm chest, then moved his attention from his ear down to his neck.

"I love you, Fen," he rasped out, making sure that his voice was loud enough to be heard over the hot tub's jets.

In fact, he said it again through their thought bond, just in case. Then he said it again, and again. It wasn't a phrase that he'd ever used often, especially when having sex with random people, but this time was very different.

This is one of the two people I want to have sex with for the rest of my life.

I want to wake up every morning with him there.

I want to grow older with him.

Pyre blinked at his last thought as his hips settled on a pace that was comfortable for Fen.

I just thought...

It was strange to be questioning himself while literally screwing his husband for the first time, but he was a strange person.

Seemingly having picked up on his thoughts, Fen actually gave out a small chuckle between his panting as he reached down and retrieved Pyre's hand from around his length, then lifted it up and out of the water so that he could press a kiss to his fingers.

"I want to grow older with him... you're a no take-backs sort of guy, right? Because I have a ring waiting for you inside the safe..."

Pyre felt himself release abruptly inside Fen as his hips paused and his brain went blank. It didn't turn back on until Fen pressed himself backwards, making him move with him, then forward, allowing him to remove Pyre from his backside so that he could turn around and pull him into a tight hug.

"A ring..." he eventually mumbled, connecting the dots, though still in shock.

Fen hugged him tighter before lifting one hand to settle beneath his jaw and tilt it up at the perfect angle for him to lean forward and press a kiss to his lips.

"A ring, for you, my handsome, smart, perverted, panda husband."

Pyre nipped Fen's lip abruptly, making him break the kiss.

"I'm not a panda husband. He gets none of you," he said in a grumble, making Fen laugh outright as he pressed a kiss to Pyre's forehead.

"But I love him, just as much as I love you. Because you are two in the same. Just like me and my snake."

He... couldn't argue. Fen's snake was absolutely adorable to him, especially when it was being a brat.

"We'll talk about it," he eventually said before reaching up and pressing a hand to either side of Fen's face, then leaning in again for another kiss.

Wait a second, did he get to cum?

Pyre was about to lean back and ask that exact question when Fen reached up and settled a hand against the back of his head, holding him where he was so that he could begin deepening the kiss.

I'm fine, love. More than that, actually...

Every alarm in Pyre's mind began going off that he'd failed in getting Fen to cum, but they were all silenced the moment Fen reached down with his free hand. His fingers slid along Pyre's damp back until they disappeared beneath the water, then continued even farther until, finally, Pyre jumped a little as he felt Fen's finger tap his hole.

"I'm more curious about how it will feel than anything, because I honestly don't think that I'm going to be one to top much, if at all, but..."

He wants to try...

It definitely wasn't something he normally let people do to him, since was definitely not a bottom, except for Gin, but hell, his husband was asking to try.

Honestly feeling a little excited about the idea, Pyre turned around and settled himself right on top of Fen's hard length, then leaned back into his arms in the water.

"I'm all yours, my sweet husband."
