[ It takes him a moment to adjust when Alhaitham stops talking; unfortunately for him, in that short time, the other has noticed his pause and is asking, checking in on him as if something were wrong. A light flush comes to his cheeks, and Kaveh lifts his head to shake it, smiling faintly. ]
No, it's nothing. I was just waiting to hear what you said. I want you to be able to focus completely on this, after all. Show you what you've been missing.
[ The words are cheeky, not quite matching his toneβ his tone, laced with uncertainty because why should he have lost himself over something as small as this? And why is he thinking so much about how he needs to blow Alhaitham's mind with his efforts?
No pun intended.
Another smile, and Kaveh leans over him, hand cupping and stroking lightly around the base of his shaft as his mouth closes over the tip, tongue flickering over the skin and tasting. ]
['Show you what you've been missing', he says, and Alhaitham lets out a little huff of air through his nose. He's still not entirely sure about this, only allowing it because it is Kaveh and quite ready to call a stop to it the moment he decides whether or not he enjoys it through experience. At least they are both of sound mind now and he can trust it to stop if he doesn't like it after all.
Admittedly, there is something enticing about having the older man between his thighs like that. The image is definitely not an unpleasant one.
Still, he twitches and makes a soft sound, his expression pinching as Kaveh's mouth closes around the tip of his cock. He inhales sharply, his hand tightening around the headrail while the other stays resting lightly on the other man's head, unable to deny the definite tingle of pleasure that sparks through him at the sensation.
It's different to being inside him or having a hand around his length. Warm and wet. His brow furrows slightly as his legs shift restlessly for a moment, heels digging against the bed sheets.
But he doesn't say anything, so Kaveh can assume that he's fine for now. Alhaitham hasn't taken his eyes off him yet.]
[ The sharp inhale is practically music to Kaveh's ears, and paired with the fact that Alhaitham doesn't tell him to stop, he takes it as a positive sign. After all, despite his bravado, he knows all too well that the other has been hesitant to accept this from him, even if he doesn't know why.
Maybe that's why he needs it to be amazing.
Part of him wants to watch the expressions play out over Alhaitham's face, but for now at least he can't help the way his eyes close as he starts to work himself slowly against him, staying just around the head at first and then dipping slightly lower, taking him slowly deeper as he explores every last inch of skin with lips and tongue in turn. Where his mouth doesn't yet reach, his fingers continue slowly stroking, matching his exploratory pace.
He hums his content as his tongue swipes out over the head again, tasting the precum beading at the slit. This is what he wantedβ ]
[He tries to settle into it. To enjoy it for what it is. There's an undeniable aspect of pleasure to the whole thing as his body reacts but as Kaveh continues Alhaitham realises one thing with absolute, crystal clear certainty.
He does not like this.
The shivers racing across him give way to an uncomfortable sensation of his skin crawling as he shifts again, nudges his palm against Kaveh's forehead and then fully pushes him back. Alhaitham half sits up, his gaze wavering and uncharacteristically unsure as he shakes his head.]
Stop.
[Truth be told he does have an idea of why Kaveh has been so insistent on it. Maybe for anyone else it would be a grand experience, but for Alhaitham himself the lack of appeal is showing itself quite clearly in the evident waning of his arousal.
He frowns, trying to work through his own thoughts.]
I don'tβ... I don't want that from you. Or anyone.
[ Kaveh stops before Alhaitham even tells him to do so, taking his cue from the palm pressed flat against his forehead to push him away. For a moment, red eyes look up unblinking and wide, and then back at the other's flagging arousal, and as he swipes the back of his hand across his mouth the most horrible, uncomfortable feeling sinks deep in his skin, andβ ]
I'm sorryβ
[ But he falls silent again because Alhaitham is talking.
I don't want that from you. Or anyone.
He swallows hard, looking up at him with a small smile, even as it quavers on his lips. It's not about him, he has to tell himself. It's not that Alhaitham doesn't want him. It's something about the sensation, it's not a rejection..
It's not a rejection.
A deep breath, and his smile strengthens, something genuine and gentle. ]
Okay. That's okay. [ Maybe later he'll ask him about it, find out what it is he doesn't like so that he knows for the future. But right now he doesn't wanna spoil the mood, soβ ]
[It isn't a rejection of Kaveh. Gods, he isn't sure if there is anyone in any world he could want more even if that one particular act was a non-starter. He decides to work through the complicated tangle of thoughts around his refusal to continue later rather than being distracted by them now and meets Kaveh's eyes in quiet contemplation as he considers.
What does he want? In real terms sex has held so little space in his thoughts over the years that he has never given much consideration to that kind of question. He's learning all kinds of things these days. What he likes and doesn't like in settings far more intimate than he ever imagined himself in.
So, what does he want?
He sits up straight and takes hold of one of Kaveh's hands, only lightly snagging it. His fingers don't take grip but trail down the man's forearm instead, ghosting across his skin until they reach Kaveh's chest. What does he want? Something... else.
Alhaitham pulls Kaveh to him and kisses him, one hand splayed flat to his chest while the other digs gently into his hair. The pad of his thumb strokes a slow trail around the shell of his companion's ear.]
[ For a moment, Kaveh really isn't sure what the scribe is going to say. Especially as the other man sits up, he wonders to himself if the encounter is over for nowβ and something deep and primal knots itself up, stomach rolling at the knowledge that he doesn't want it to be
(but he'll do what Alhaitham wants, of course, he'll always do whatever it is Alhaitham wants, no matter how much it hurts him)
but then a hand ghosts over his skin, a grip pulling him close and into a gentle, tender kiss, and all the anxiety unwinds itself as Kaveh all but melts into him, both arms moving to circle around the other's shoulders.
I want you close, Alhaitham says, and Kaveh's heart does something weird in his chest, causing an unbidden sound on his lips, half-sob and half-murmur. A breath to stabilize himself and: ]
Okay. [ A hand winds itself up into the scribe's hair from where it rests at the nape; the other drops from around his shoulder to rest at his waist. ] What if... what if we stay like this, and I use my hand? Does thatβ is that good?
[That sound prompts a semi-foreign feeling in the centre of Alhaitham's chest. He is already relatively sure of his feelings towards the other man - in a way that he has, if he is honest, been for some time - but he has his reasons for keeping his silence on the matter.
Not the least of which being that he knows Kaveh so well.
The suggestion is absorbed quietly, Alhaitham's attention sliding offside for a moment, then he takes a quick breath and nods.]
That sounds better.
[He isn't used to these missteps. To not feeling entirely sure of himself even if he is very certain of what he likes and does not like. It's good to have a clear head for once, and yet...]
[ And his hand shifts that little lower, taking Alhaitham's flagging arousal into its grip and starting to slowly stroke along it. His forehead remains pressed against the other man's, his eyes shutβ there's a fear deep down in him that he doesn't even fully recognize, a fear that tells him that if he opens his eyes right now, this whole thing will have to end.
He does, however, tilt his head enough that he can kiss the younger again, lips locking into his as his hand continues to move at a slow, steady pace, thumb rubbing over the head in the same way his tongue did just a few moments before.
Whatever disappointment he feels is supplanted by two different things: the need, first, for Alhaitham to enjoy this, to feel good in whatever they're doing,
and something else that hinges on a question he's not ready to ask, let alone answer.
[Alhaitham, conversely, keeps his eyes open to study the older man's face as they stay close to one another. That is, until their lips meet again, when his eyelids snap shut and he leans gently into it. One thing can be said for sure - when it comes to kissing Kaveh, he definitely does enjoy it.
Those faint prickles of arousal start up again and the difference in his body's reactions is immediately evident. Rather than those vaguely uncomfortable twitches and restless shifting he slides his hands lightly over Kaveh's skin, one on his thigh and the other slipping around the shallow dip of his waist, clearly far more at ease.
He tugs the older man closer, almost into his lap, smiling a little against his lips as he snatches a breath between kisses. His cock firms again against the slow slide of Kaveh's palm and the teasing touch of his thumb over the head and his breathing shivers, eyes half-lidded when they part for long enough to look at each other.]
It was not a comment on your prowess. You do understand that, don't you.
[ Under his touch, he can feel Alhaitham hardening again, and he sighs between their kisses as his free hand curls up into the younger's hair, stroking through the strands and nails scratching light against the scalp. It's not what he had planned, but it's still nice, and in the end the most important thing is that he makes Alhaitham feel good, andβ
and it doesn't quite stop his expression from faltering at the comment, eyes finally openingβ to show a hint of irritation in red instead of whatever vulnerable softness was there before. ]
If I thought you were commenting on my prowess, you'd no longer be in my bed. [ There's a hint of venom in his voice, perhaps not as strongly as it might have been if they weren't kissing just moments before, but still there.
Then, his strokes pause, and he sighs, eyes flitting away. ]
Sorry. Let's just... not talk about that right now. Not when I'm...
[ A shake of his head, a stronger fire in his gaze as it meets Alhaitham's again. ]
[He's not shy to say he's still figuring things out. Kaveh of all people knows very well that most of this is still new to him and there's no way for him to know what he does and doesn't like until he tries it...
And they tried it, and he did not like it, and that's fine.
Alhaitham shakes his head slightly.]
Doesn't need to be talked about.
[As far as he is concerned they have already moved past it, are there not better things to be concentrating on at the moment?]
But you should remember that I am not always trying to insult you. [Sometimes he is, even if the intent itself isn't to insult. He knows the things he says are insulting regardless of how he means them. He looks up at Kaveh's face, lightly cupping his cheek with one hand.] Keep going like this. Please.
[ Doesn't it? It was Alhaitham who brought it up after the fact, after all, or maybe that was just to say what he needed to say about it, to let Kaveh know that it's not him. ]
I might have some questions, if you don't mind. I just... wanna make sure I know what you do and don't like.
[ After all, it seems that they're determined, both of them, to keep going like this, to keep finding one another in these momentsβ those of desperation and those of genuine want.
(There's a fear, somewhere in the back of his mind, that he doesn't understand.) ]
But... I know you're not.
[ It's an admission hard won, even as Kaveh's hand starts moving over Alhaitham again, picking up a hint of speed; when a hand cups his cheek, he tilts it for a moment before leaning in to kiss him again, something soft and sweet in contrast to the way he thumbs over the head of his arousal, seeking the places he likes the best. ]
[He is quite happy to tell Kaveh what he does and doesn't like in this scenario. What they're doing right now, he definitely likes, and his body's reactions tell that story for him as much as they displayed his discomfort before.
Alhaitham meets the next kiss with a soft sigh. He slides his free arm around the older man's back and leans into him, parting his lips against the kiss to deepen it. He can feel his arousal growing, a steady lift rather than a sharp, uncontrollable spike of lust, and he likes that too.]
Mm--
[Kaveh sweeps his thumb over the head of his cock and Alhaitham feels the pleasure tingle down the insides of his thighs, He breaks away from the kiss with a quick exhale and then chuckles quietly.]
[ It's a mumbled promise between their kiss; it seems wrong almost to ask questions like that when he can literally feel Alhaitham's arousal starting to reawaken under his touch, when his focus is attentive to the other's sounds and movements rather than anything else he might want to talk about.
Like that, he says, and Kaveh smiles, repeating the same motion as his hand continues to move along the other's cock. And as he hardens, the blonde picks up speed, little by little until he's reached a smooth, steady rhythm.
He offers Alhaitham a smile, and then presses a kiss to the corner of his lips, watching his face for hints and signs of his pleasure. ]
Remember, [ he murmurs. ] You have to tell me when you're close.
[That is not to say that he won't forget, with everything going on, but for now he has not forgotten. He shifts against Kaveh's touch, smiles faintly against the next kiss pressed against his lips, and wraps his arms loosely around the other man's shoulders while he works him over.
All the better to be able to slide his fingers into the older man's hair and gently grip it as his hips twitch against that nimble hand.]
Hm--
[Not yet, but his breathing catches and then he sighs, digging the tips of his fingers against the warm skin of Kaveh's back. His pupils are dilated, black pools framed with green, and he nudges his nose against Kaveh's before he kisses him again. His voice is a low murmur - distracted.]
[ He says he hasn't forgotten, but Kaveh is still careful to track the other's reactions as much as he can, not wanting them both to get so caught up in the moment that Alhaitham reaches the point of no return before they can do anything about it.
Or that's the plan, anyway.
It's too easy for him to get sidetracked, lost to the way Alhaitham's breath hitches before he sighs, to the way he murmurs distractedly into their kiss, urging Kaveh to continue what he's doing. There's something remarkably attractive about the way the scribe gives himself over to the pleasure, hips twitching and fingers gripping; it makes the blonde squirm with his own unanswered need.
He sweeps his thumb over the head of Alhaitham's arousal, smoothing it against the slit before sliding back into that same rhythm, his teeth catching softly against the younger's lower lip. ]
[He hasn't quite forgotten what he needs to - what he needs to tell Kaveh when it's time - but it keeps slipping in and out of his mind as he languidly moves against him. Alhaitham isn't loud. He rarely has been at any point they have been together, but that doesn't mean that his enjoyment is any less clear. He leans into each kiss, rocks his hips against Kaveh's hand, and as he feels the pleasure bubbling up in him curling into a tight heat in the pit of his stomach--]
Stop--
[Gods, he almost forgot entirely. A sharp breath hisses in between his teeth as he grabs hold of Kaveh's wrist and looks at him urgently before pressing their foreheads together.]
Ah-- hah. If you touch me again, I'm--
[It's hard to hold it back even without Kaveh's hand on him. The scribe's expression pinches slightly as he huffs out a strained gasp.]
[ He's just enjoying their kisses, relishing in the way Alhaitham silently shows his appreciation, when all of a sudden the younger man hisses out and grabs at his wrist, huffing out the words to explain himself (not that Kaveh needs an explanation this time, having understood immediately what was happening). He smiles, and his hands lift to stroke across Alhaitham's cheeks as if to soothe and comfort him through the loss of pleasure as he waits for him to come down far enough from his high that he can continue.
(And he's privately amazed, just a little, at the scribe's sheer willpower, the strain in his expression as he struggles to stave off his own orgasm.) ]
Just breathe.
[ It's a whisper, his eyes soft and fond as he watches the other, fingers smoothing over his cheeks, lips stealing a quick, soft kiss. ]
Breathe through it. You're doing so well, Alhaitham.
Every point of contact burns. The tension of his thighs against Kaveh's, the pressure of his forehead leaning into him, each point where he's gripping against him with a slightly-too-tight hold. Alhaitham exhales slowly, inhales, exhales again, and forces himself to relax. He pushes that rising tide back and feels himself shaking with the effort, something irritated and impatient sparking in the back of his mind that demands more.
It's... intense. His cock throbs, hard and flushed and beading precum in clear warning of how close he is to orgasm. The scribe presses his mouth hard and firm to Kaveh's and kisses him deeply, reproachfully biting at his lower lip when they part.]
Mm... now-- now what?
[Is that Alhaitham requesting direction..? Wonders surely will never cease.]
[ Kaveh's gaze continues to search Alhaitham's face, watching him as he strains and shakes, feels the sensation of those fingers gripping just that little too tight on him, relishes in the reproachful bite that comes after that hard, hungry kiss.
But there's nothing anywhere near as wonderful as the sound of the other's voice asking what's next. It sends a delightful shiver down Kaveh's spine, and he allows his hand to trail down over the other's chest and rest at his abdomen, teasing him with proximity. ]
Just a little longer.
[ It's a whisper, breathy and wanton, as Kaveh's eyes trail down, watching the way his cock is flushed and beading. He has no idea how long he's meant to wait, but Alhaitham's shaky breathing seems to have steadied somewhat, soβ
His hand wraps around him again, starting once more with slow, steady strokes. ]
[Just how he holds on as well as he does is a wonder in itself, and though his breathing does ease before Kaveh takes hold of him it's more deceptive than it may seem. Just a little longer, he said, but his hand might as well have an electric current running through it for how difficult his touch is for Alhaitham to overlook.
While he could not be said to pride himself on being level-headed, on being in control of himself, those two things have always been a fact of Alhaitham's life. Here, both of those things are very swiftly overstepped. His hips twitch into Kaveh's hand as the slow stroking of his cock yanks him back to the brink of orgasm as if he had never taken the time to calm himself down at all.
It happens all at once. His breath catches against the back of his teeth and although he's quiet, barely making a sound save for that soft hiss of air, the way he feels is more than evident in how his entire body stiffens against Kaveh and how his fingertips dig into the older man's shoulders.
He spills over Kaveh's hand with a gasp then lightly presses their foreheads together, panting quietly.]
[ The ease of Alhaitham's breath is deceptive, and in the end, Kaveh realizes what's happening too late. He feels the way the younger's body stiffens, the way his fingers dig, but it's too late to stop, and the blonde bites his lip at the sensation of the other spilling over his hand.
...Fuck.
He smiles as the other's forehead presses into his own, stroking over him a few more times as he finishes before coming to a rest. His free hand lifts to gently stroke across his cheek, as if to soothe and relax him. Kaveh aches with the embarrassment of having screwed it up for him, having obviously started over again too soon without enough time to rest, and there's an apology on the tip of his tongue but he doesn't want to take the moment away from the other just yet.
And so he uses his hand to tilt Alhaitham's face into his, a soft meeting of their lips. ]
How are you feeling? [ he whispers, following the words with another kiss. Maybe, if the younger man enjoyed himself, it doesn't matter too much that he fucked up. All Kaveh wanted was him to feel good anyway... ]
[He doesn't think that this is how Kaveh wanted it to go but he really doesn't care, either.
And for once, when Kaveh guides his face like that, he doesn't try to move himself out of the older man's grip. He allows it, meeting his lips in a soft kiss, and at the question he lets out a low, warm chuckle.]
I feel fine.
[Alhaitham feels good, not concerned at all with whether or not the experience was 'screwed up'. He nudges their noses together when they part from the kiss and lets out a quiet breath.]
[ Kaveh smiles, a relieved expression on his face, nudging his nose back against Alhaitham's as he laughs softly in return. ]
Good. Good, I'm glad. I was worried.. it didn't go quite how I meant it to, so I'm glad it wasn't ruined for you.
[ He's not sure why, but the idea of ruining even something small like this when Alhaitham came to him explicitly for sex feels devastating. So he's glad. ]
You did really well, too. I... I don't know how you had the strength to stop me the first time. I wouldn't have been able to do that.

His cock firms again against the slow slide of Kaveh's palm and the teasing touch of his thumb over the head and his breathing shivers, eyes half-lidded when they part for long enough to look at each other.]

But you should remember that I am not always trying to insult you. [Sometimes he is, even if the intent itself isn't to insult.

Mm. Like that.

He offers Alhaitham a smile, and then presses a kiss to the corner of his lips, watching his face for hints and signs of his pleasure. ]
Remember, [ he murmurs. ] You have to tell me when you're close.

[That is not to say that he won't forget, with everything going on, but for now he has not forgotten. He shifts against Kaveh's touch, smiles faintly against the next kiss pressed against his lips, and wraps his arms loosely around the other man's shoulders while he works him over.
All the better to be able to slide his fingers into the older man's hair and gently grip it as his hips twitch against that nimble hand.]
Hm--
[Not yet, but his breathing catches and then he sighs, digging the tips of his fingers against the warm skin of Kaveh's back. His pupils are dilated, black pools framed with green, and he nudges his nose against Kaveh's before he kisses him again. His voice is a low murmur - distracted.]
Just-- Just like that...
no subject
Or that's the plan, anyway.
It's too easy for him to get sidetracked, lost to the way Alhaitham's breath hitches before he sighs, to the way he murmurs distractedly into their kiss, urging Kaveh to continue what he's doing. There's something remarkably attractive about the way the scribe gives himself over to the pleasure, hips twitching and fingers gripping; it makes the blonde squirm with his own unanswered need.
He sweeps his thumb over the head of Alhaitham's arousal, smoothing it against the slit before sliding back into that same rhythm, his teeth catching softly against the younger's lower lip. ]
no subject
Stop--
[Gods, he almost forgot entirely. A sharp breath hisses in between his teeth as he grabs hold of Kaveh's wrist and looks at him urgently before pressing their foreheads together.]
Ah-- hah. If you touch me again, I'm--
[It's hard to hold it back even without Kaveh's hand on him. The scribe's expression pinches slightly as he huffs out a strained gasp.]
no subject
(And he's privately amazed, just a little, at the scribe's sheer willpower, the strain in his expression as he struggles to stave off his own orgasm.) ]
Just breathe.
[ It's a whisper, his eyes soft and fond as he watches the other, fingers smoothing over his cheeks, lips stealing a quick, soft kiss. ]
Breathe through it. You're doing so well, Alhaitham.
no subject
Every point of contact burns. The tension of his thighs against Kaveh's, the pressure of his forehead leaning into him, each point where he's gripping against him with a slightly-too-tight hold. Alhaitham exhales slowly, inhales, exhales again, and forces himself to relax. He pushes that rising tide back and feels himself shaking with the effort, something irritated and impatient sparking in the back of his mind that demands more.
It's... intense. His cock throbs, hard and flushed and beading precum in clear warning of how close he is to orgasm. The scribe presses his mouth hard and firm to Kaveh's and kisses him deeply, reproachfully biting at his lower lip when they part.]
Mm... now-- now what?
[Is that Alhaitham requesting direction..? Wonders surely will never cease.]
no subject
But there's nothing anywhere near as wonderful as the sound of the other's voice asking what's next. It sends a delightful shiver down Kaveh's spine, and he allows his hand to trail down over the other's chest and rest at his abdomen, teasing him with proximity. ]
Just a little longer.
[ It's a whisper, breathy and wanton, as Kaveh's eyes trail down, watching the way his cock is flushed and beading. He has no idea how long he's meant to wait, but Alhaitham's shaky breathing seems to have steadied somewhat, soβ
His hand wraps around him again, starting once more with slow, steady strokes. ]
no subject
[Just how he holds on as well as he does is a wonder in itself, and though his breathing does ease before Kaveh takes hold of him it's more deceptive than it may seem. Just a little longer, he said, but his hand might as well have an electric current running through it for how difficult his touch is for Alhaitham to overlook.
While he could not be said to pride himself on being level-headed, on being in control of himself, those two things have always been a fact of Alhaitham's life. Here, both of those things are very swiftly overstepped. His hips twitch into Kaveh's hand as the slow stroking of his cock yanks him back to the brink of orgasm as if he had never taken the time to calm himself down at all.
It happens all at once. His breath catches against the back of his teeth and although he's quiet, barely making a sound save for that soft hiss of air, the way he feels is more than evident in how his entire body stiffens against Kaveh and how his fingertips dig into the older man's shoulders.
He spills over Kaveh's hand with a gasp then lightly presses their foreheads together, panting quietly.]
no subject
...Fuck.
He smiles as the other's forehead presses into his own, stroking over him a few more times as he finishes before coming to a rest. His free hand lifts to gently stroke across his cheek, as if to soothe and relax him. Kaveh aches with the embarrassment of having screwed it up for him, having obviously started over again too soon without enough time to rest, and there's an apology on the tip of his tongue but he doesn't want to take the moment away from the other just yet.
And so he uses his hand to tilt Alhaitham's face into his, a soft meeting of their lips. ]
How are you feeling? [ he whispers, following the words with another kiss. Maybe, if the younger man enjoyed himself, it doesn't matter too much that he fucked up. All Kaveh wanted was him to feel good anyway... ]
no subject
[He doesn't think that this is how Kaveh wanted it to go but he really doesn't care, either.
And for once, when Kaveh guides his face like that, he doesn't try to move himself out of the older man's grip. He allows it, meeting his lips in a soft kiss, and at the question he lets out a low, warm chuckle.]
I feel fine.
[Alhaitham feels good, not concerned at all with whether or not the experience was 'screwed up'. He nudges their noses together when they part from the kiss and lets out a quiet breath.]
That was good.
no subject
Good. Good, I'm glad. I was worried.. it didn't go quite how I meant it to, so I'm glad it wasn't ruined for you.
[ He's not sure why, but the idea of ruining even something small like this when Alhaitham came to him explicitly for sex feels devastating. So he's glad. ]
You did really well, too. I... I don't know how you had the strength to stop me the first time. I wouldn't have been able to do that.
