Kellen finished cooking, and with the help of the other four they carried everything to the coffee table so everyone could sit down, drink, and enjoy each other's company. He knew that Hill and Gunther were going to be a riot as the night went on since he'd drunk with them before, but the more reserved Miro had everyone laughing heartily throughout the night. Hill and Gunther seemed to want to reminisce about their times on the front lines with Kellen, while Miro would pipe up and surprise everyone with his wit. Hill and Gunther sat on one side of the couch, while Kellen and the Captain sat on the other. Miro sat in between everyone, like a buffer. Kellen knew that the Captain wasn't going to keep his distance, and as the night went on, he began to care about it less and less. Why was Kellen so concerned that the Captain was getting closer to him? Who knows! Why was the Captain treating Kellen like a weary animal? Who cares! What was so wrong with the Captain kissing and touching Kellen? Nothing! He liked it, so why was he protesting so much? It was just guiding.
At some point, the beers were finished, the snacks gone, and it was getting late. Kellen didn't know how late because he knew he'd drank more than he should have. He was having a hard time keeping his eyes open, and Gunther was the first to point it out.
"Well, we should probably get going now. We still have work in the morning." He shoved Hill with his shoulder and gestured to where Kellen's head was dipping. Miro wasn't faring any better. Kellen yawned, covering his mouth before snuggling back into the warm embrace of the Captain.
"Oh, it's okay. You guys can stay longer." Kellen told them and Captain chuckled. He'd somehow managed to get Kellen pliant enough that the man was resting his head against the Captain's shoulder, the Captain's arm around his waist.
"You can tell them to leave Mr. Woods. They've finished all the beer anyway, so it's only right." He said and Kellen sighed, his eyes barely open.
"I still have ciders left." He offered sleepily and Gunther laughed. Both of the Espers were delighted at seeing a side of Kellen they hadn't seen before, even on the front lines.
"We can save those for next time. You look tired. We'll take care of cleaning up and getting Miro home safely, Captain. You can help Kellen to bed." Gunther offered, a smirk on his face.
"No, I'll clean up since I'm just next door. You guys take Miro home and make sure he gets there safely. I'll see you tomorrow." The Captain helped Kellen to his feet, a soft look on his face. He scooped up the man, who he knew would normally protest. Instead, he rested his head against the Captain's shoulder, waving sleepily at the others. They met his smile with a smile of their own, waving in return.
"Night!" Kellen called, and got varying responses back while he tucked his head into the Captain's neck. With a huge sigh, he closed his eyes while the Captain carried him up the stairs. Listening to his heartbeat, Kellen felt calm and relaxed.
"Mr. Woods, are you awake?" The soft voice of the Captain made him groan.
"Mmhmm." He murmured and the Captain laughed. He gave Kellen a squeeze and he protested.
"We're at the top of the stairs. Where do you want to go first?" He asked and Kellen opened his eyes, the world spun, and he sighed.
"Gotta brush my teeth." He murmured and the Captain turned and headed for the bathroom. He helped Kellen to his feet and got his toothbrush ready while Kellen clung to the sink for dear life as the world spun. He didn't question for a second as the Captain brushed his teeth as well. Then, after he helped Kellen spit and wiped his face, he led him into the bedroom and into the walk-in closet. He tsked at the empty space.
"Do you even own clothes?" He asked, more to himself. Kellen felt he needed to stand up for himself.
"I own sweatpants and t-shirts." He protested as he attempted to pull his shirt over his head. He struggled and the Captain sighed.
"Now what on earth are you trying to do?" He asked himself as he helped Kellen undress. Kellen's fingers fumbled with his sweatpants next as soon as he got the t-shirt off.
"I sleep naked." He told the Captain. The Captain stopped his hands.
"Mr. Woods, I am not a saint. Keep your sweatpants on if you don't want to regret it in the morning." He warned, and for a moment that wiped the fog that had invaded Kellen's mind. He was topless with the Captain in his closet. His cheeks heated and he ducked his head, almost stumbling over his feet if the Esper hadn't caught him.
"Oh, uh, how long are you planning to stay?" Kellen asked and he smiled down at him before poking his nose.
"However long it takes for you to go to sleep, and then I'll clean up downstairs. It's the least I can do since you cooked for us." Kellen swallowed, nodding.
"That long, huh?" Kellen said, and he smiled.
"Why? Do you not like it when I'm here? Do I make you uncomfortable?" He questioned the Guide, and Kellen raised his head to look up into his face. It was a little blurry, but he could still make out his facial expressions. He wasn't upset, and instead was teasing him.
"You do, because I don't know why you want me." Captain sighed, shaking his head.
"Didn't we already go over this? I explained this already." Kellen nodded, agreeing that he had explained it.
"Yeah, I understand what you explained, but I'm not able to comprehend it. Does that make sense? Like, I understand, but I don't know how they apply to me. I don't consider myself in the same context as you do. I don't understand romance." He admitted and the Captain pulled in, hugging him against his chest. Kellen inhaled his scent from his neck and the Captain let out a shaky sigh.
"I fucking hope you remember this conversation tomorrow, Mr. Woods, or I am going to be very cross with you." He muttered, giving Kellen a squeeze. "I know you don't understand romance, that's why I am working so hard to get reactions out of you. I don't like others seeing you after I've kissed you, but I need witnesses so you don't brush it off. I feel like you would if we did it behind closed doors." Kellen tightened his arms around him.
"I would not." He protested, before licking his lips. "Do...Do people normally guide with kisses like the one from before?" He asked tentatively, and the Captain froze.
"Well, I've heard that most do. Something about the proficiency going up the more your skin touches." Captain muttered something under his breath, but Kellen wasn't able to catch it.
"...That's the first time I've kissed like that." The Guide admitted, shy, and the Captain patted his hair.
"Oh, I knew that." He sounded pleased and Kellen frowned, pulling away slightly.
"Was I bad at it?" He asked and the Captain laughed. It sounded dangerous.
"Mr. Woods, you weren't bad at it, just inexperienced. I don't mind, since I like teaching you." Kellen huffed. That wasn't a no.
"I hate not being good at something the first time, and it isn't as if this is something I can research on my own. I don't think there is kissing porn." He muttered angrily and the Captain's shoulders shook.
"Did you watch porn as research?" He asked and Kellen nodded, very serious. Unaware of the Captain drawing circles in Kellen's skin, pleased the man was still pressed against him, topless.
"Of course. I watched all kinds of types because I didn't know what my pair would be into, or if they were even going to be a man." Captain squeezed him.
"You were prepared to be with a woman even though you aren't attracted to them?" The Captain was shocked at Kellen's simple acceptance.
"My personal feelings wouldn't have mattered in the grand scheme of things if I had a good match rate with someone. I was prepared to push that to the back of my mind and never think about it again." Kellen glanced at the Captain and found he had a somber expression, almost thoughtful.
"Mr. Woods, you don't need to watch porn to prepare for me. I don't care if you have no experience and as I said, I am happy to teach you." Kellen shook his head stubbornly.
"It's important to know as a Guide because what if you need the highest level of guiding and I can't do it right because I don't know? Don't worry, I know that we need to prepare as males more than females. I even made sure that ever since I became a Guide I carried around a little kit for it, just in case." The Captain turned yellow eyes towards the smiling, happy Guide.
"What's in your kit that you carry around with you?" If Kellen had his full faculties about him, he would have noticed how dangerous the Captain was right now.
"Lube, condoms, handcuffs, clean up wipes, gloves, a blindfold, batteries, a book of sex positions, and all the lists' I read said to have some kind of stimulus for your partner in the form of a vibrator. I couldn't decide on what I should get, so I got a selection from a sex shop and put them in there as well." Kellen stated matter-of-factly.
"You carry that around with you all the time?" The Captain's eyes were glowing now, and Kellen nodded, unaware.
"I didn't today since I didn't have my bag, but yes, normally. I had it on the front lines too. I never had to use it, but often other Guides would ask for something from me." The Captain pressed his forehead against Kellen's shoulder, letting out a deep sigh, before tilting his head back and staring at the ceiling.
"So, other Guides know you carry a kit like this around?" He asked and Kellen, not understanding why he was upset, nodded, gripping onto his shirt with his hands to stare up at him.
"Everyone knows I like to be prepared. I also carry around a medical kit." The Captain dropped his gaze towards Kellen before he shook his head.
"You don't need to carry it around anymore, Mr. Woods. Keep it in your nightstand, and if we need it, we can use it here. No more of this 'in case of an emergency' mindset." Kellen pouted, upset. Captain's eyes widened.
"But what if-" He covered Kellen's mouth with his hand.
"I am not going to attack you like some rabid animal the first time." He growled, clearly upset and Kellen stared at him. Then he tore his hand off of his mouth.
"You did for my first kiss. From experience, that could happen again." His eyes crinkled up as he smiled, even as he shook his head. Kellen could feel his head clearing, but not enough. If he had been fully sober, he would have known better.
"Then, Mr. Woods, since you feel so wronged that I pounced on you without warning, and you also don't like to not have practise, would you like to practise on the bed? That way you can't accuse me of being an animal the next time I approach you." Kellen, for all that he was worth, carefully considered the words the Captain said. There was something...nagging at the back of his mind, but he ignored it.
"I think that would be a smart idea, especially since most guiding is usually done on a bed once we get to higher levels." The Captain's grin transformed into something fully feral, but Kellen wasn't able to read his expression well. The Captain released Kellen from his full body grasp to hold onto his hand, leading the way.
"Get on the bed Kellen, and lie down on your back." He whispered. Hesitant now that he was faced with his own bed, Kellen glanced at the Captain before sighing, releasing his hand and crawling onto the bed. When he reached the headboard he turned around, lying on his back but propping his head up with his arm so that he could follow the Captain with his gaze. The Captain was scanning him with his eyes at the edge of his bed, his face flushed. "Damn, you're gorgeous." He muttered.
"What did you say?" Kellen asked, unsure of what he'd heard. Instead of answering, the Captain crawled onto the bed. He crawled over Kellen, and Kellen could feel his heart begin to race the more real this got. The gaze the Captain watched him with made his whole body tingle. The heat from the golden eyes made Kellen feel like the man was licking him whole. When the Captain stopped, he was hovering over him. His arms were braced on either side of Kellen's head, his legs on either side of his own. Slowly, ever so slowly he lowered himself until their bodies made contact. The Captain forced Kellen's legs apart with on of his, placing his leg there for support as looked over Kellen. The grin on his face was sexy, and dangerous.
"Are you ready?" He asked and Kellen swallowed. He felt surrounded by the man. Like he was being engulfed by the Captain. Nervous, his hands gripped onto the blankets underneath him.
Kellen nodded.
The Captain smiled before bending forward and gently brushing their lips together. After a few gentle touches, Kellen began to realise that he didn't hate the contact, and instead enjoyed it, even as his heart raced. His grip tightened on the blankets as the Captain shifted, angling Kellen's head and slowly sipping and bit at his lips. Kellen felt his breathing speed up as the Captain settled closer to him, shifting his arms closer so he could tangle his fingers in his hair. He used his hands to angle his head the way he wanted, and Kellen felt himself melt into the mattress, the nervousness leaving his body.
"Kellen, I'm going to warn you now, no guiding while we kiss. This is practise. You don't need to guide." His words were soft, but firm. Kellen opened his eyes to stare into his serious, golden gaze before he nodded dazedly. Kellen raised his hands, gripping onto the back of the Captain's shirt.
"Okay." He agreed, and the Captain smirked.
"Okay what?" He asked and Kellen frowned at him.
"Okay...Captain?" He added, confused, and he chuckled.
"That will do." He whispered against Kellen's lips, before taking it to the next level. His tongue lazily played with Kellen's, sucking and touching until Kellen saw stars. His grip on the Captain's shirt tightened even as he felt his body shiver under him. The Captain took hold of his head, angling it further till he felt completely covered and owned by him. He was marking him, but it wasn't in public. Something tingled lower down his body, and Kellen realised with a start that he was getting hard. He hoped the Captain hadn't noticed.
His kiss deepened further, and it felt like the long they kissed the more his body burned. His head felt fuzzy, but not like when he was guiding the Captain and used too much of his powers. He'd felt drunk before, but it had nothing on this feeling. The Captain shifted his knee, moving it higher as if to get a better grip on his head, and Kellen moaned into the kiss when he grazed his cock. The Captain froze for only a moment before he became voracious. Kellen had to pull his head away to breathe, sucking in lungful's of air but the Captain's lips didn't stop.
He began kissing his neck and Kellen felt, rather than heard noises leave his mouth. Kellen's fingers were bruising on the Captain's shoulders, as he tried to process what was happening. He opened his eyes, unaware he'd closed them, to stare at the Captain as he licked and bit at his skin, a high flush on his face and his eyes focused on the task at hand.
"C-Captain?" Kellen asked breathlessly. The Captain looked up into Kellen's gaze, his tongue drawing little circle patterns into the younger man's neck. He planted a kiss there, and Kellen shivered.
"Yes, Kellen?" He asked, coming closer to his face.
"Is that part of the next level of kissing?" He asked. The Captain froze, before his face dropped into something rather serious.
"Of course. Did you like the first type?" He asked and Kellen frowned.
"That was more than one?" Kellen knew he sounded whiny even to his ears but the Captain didn't grow annoyed. Instead, he kissed different parts of Kellen's face.
"Of course. I want you to experience it all. Shall we go slower and you can tell me which type you like?" He didn't give him time to answer before he began nibbling on his lips and giving Kellen soft, light kisses. He was wiggling beneath him when he pulled away. "That's one." He murmured, before he began to kiss him deeper. His tongue played with Kellen's, but it wasn't as deep and all consuming like he'd done before. When he'd grazed Kellen's cock. He pulled away with a wet sound as Kellen gripped onto his shoulders, wanting more. "Two." He murmured before bring his lips to Kellen's again and Kellen responded by pulling the man closer, demanding. There was a slight smile on the Captain's lips before he begun to devour the younger man. Thoughts and all. Kellen felt the vibration of his laughter against his chest as the man used his hands to angle his head just right that Kellen's toes curled.
"Three." A trail of saliva followed him as he pulled his lips away, and Kellen almost whimpered, trying to fight the stronger man as he left his lips and began trailing kisses down and across his neck. The trails of saliva cooled in the air and made him shiver.
The Captain released Kellen's hair to use the pad of his fingers to gently rub one of Kellen's nipples. Surprised, Kellen gasped, hearing a tearing sound as his grip tightened on the Captain's shoulders. The Captain continued his trail down, kissing his shoulders and collar bones. His lips moved further south, closing around the nipple his fingers weren't playing with and he sucked, before biting and tonguing the flesh there. Kellen's fingers roamed the Captain's body, moving across his shoulders and neck until they ventured into his hair. When the Captain sucked deeper, his teeth grazing the sensitive nub his threaded his fingers into his hair. Chuckling, he switched, moving to the other nipple as Kellen fought for his life.
He felt hot, he felt horny, and that scared him a little bit. He really didn't wan the Captain to get upset that he was hard from his examples. Was it normal to get hard from practise? The Captain continued to kiss and bite and suck until Kellen didn't have breath in his lungs.
"Four. Kellen, which one did you like the most? I want to know so that we can use it for guiding in the future." The Captain's hot breath fanned against Kellen's wet and tender nipples, causing him to shiver again. He felt his fingers convulse in the Esper's hair. "Kellen? Which one did you like?" Kellen bit his lip, thinking, and the Captain groaned, moving up his body again. "No biting your lips. I already told you, that's my job." He chastised before kissing Kellen's bitten, swollen lips again. He pulled away with a loud smacking noise. "You didn't answer me Kellen. Of the four, which one did you like the most?" Numb, Kellen stared up at the Captain as he tried to gather his thoughts, and his breath. He stared into his eyes, the bright golden shade watching him like a predator. He ran one of his hands down the back of the Captain's neck and watched as the cords there tightened. Intrigued, Kellen pulled himself up enough that he could kiss that spot, and the Captain sucked in. Mimicking what he'd done, he kissed, sucking and bit the spot and was delighted when he felt the Captain shake. He bit deeper, sinking his teeth in deeply before pulling away, licking his lips. He watched the Captain's face intently, interested. His eyes were lidded when he looked down at Kellen, and the warning sound that he'd been ignoring this whole time came to blaring clarity.
The Captain sat up, pulling the destroyed shirt over and off of his body before placing himself on top of Kellen again. He picked up Kellen's hands, placing them on his shoulders purposefully. The gaze that watched Kellen felt molten, and Kellen's heart began to race. "Kellen? You're answer?" He repeated and Kellen swallowed. He'd finally found his voice again.
"T-Three. I liked...three." His grin was wicked in response.
"Oh good. I'm glad we agree." He said before grinding his knee against kellen's erect cock. Gasping at the sensation, the Captain took advantage to cover Kellen's mouth with his, kissing him as he rubbed his knee against his cock. Kellen was writhing under him, feeling his fingers digging into the Captain's shoulders like talons as the Captain rubbed their bodies together. The stimulus was too much, Kellen too new to it, and he knew he was seconds from cumming. He broke free from his kiss, panting and embarrassed.
"C-Captain, I-" He didn't let Kellen escape, covering his lips and if anything, it felt like he sped up. A kiss of fresh air touched Kellen's cock, giving him a moment of clarity before the Captain's hand closed around it and began jerking him off. The Captain swallowed his moans and Kellen shook as he came, the jets of cum hitting his chest, invading the space between the two men. The Captain slowed the kiss down before finally pulling away as Kellen melted into the mattress, exhausted from the experience. The Captain gave Kellen's cock a squeeze before releasing it and Kellen made a face at their state. The Captain had his cum on his hand and chest as he pulled away from him, pushing his hair out of his face with his other hand. As he knelt over him, his golden eyes lidded from looking down on Kellen, his hair slowly falling back into his face, Kellen felt his heart thump in his chest. It was an unfamiliar feeling, and a small part of him wondered what exactly it was.
The Captain looked over Kellen, licking his lips and Kellen had no idea what he was going to do. It certainly wasn't him pulling down his own pants to release his own cock and stroke it while he stared at Kellen's face. Watching him rub his cock while he groaned and panted, staring at Kellen's face with those dangerously yellow eyes of his made Kellen's heart race. He gave one final groan before jets of cum landed on his chest. Stunned, Kellen watched as the Captain tucked himself away before he ran a finger through their mixed passion on Kellen's skin. He drew nonsensical shapes there for a moment before sighing blissfully and meeting Kellen's gaze.
"I'll go grab a cloth." He said cheerfully, planting a kiss on Kellen's forehead before getting off the bed and heading for the bathroom. Kellen had a minute to lay there and think about what had just happened. He heard the water turn on in the bathroom, stunned. Why had the Captain grabbed his cock? They were supposed to to be kissing, so he didn't understand what their cocks had to do with that. And why had the Captain been hard too? His head grew fuzzy as his eyelids got heavy, and slowly he stopped thinking about it at all.
