I know love, I know, but let's be honest, yeah? I don't plan to make up for what I've done. Redemption isn't a good look on me, and no one would believe it anyway.
[ No one outside of Eudio, that is. Somehow, he lucked out with these special people who cared about him, such as the beautiful demigod in his arms. And when he said that...
I know you can make your life one worthy of the Fields of Elysium.
Vex almost whimpered as he tilted his head, so their lips met. His kiss was desperate, not with lust or passion, but with an intense need to be loved by someone who had faith in him. So few did, and when he was presented with it, he had to leap upon the opportunity.
Or else he might cry, and he'd cried out all of his tears a long time ago. ]
[ once more, nico was familiar with the emotion vex was experiencing. for so long, he'd felt so empty and so alone, unloved and distrusted, and most of all, unwanted. he'd believed he was nothing more than the dirt under people's feet, was nothing more than something covered in sewage and blood due to his heritage and his sexuality. it had taken others, people who would become his friends, to make him see he wasn't any of those things. that he was loved, respected, and trusted. and that people wanted him around. jason, reyna, will... even percy. they'd all shown him what it meant to be accepted. recognizing it in vex, he also understand how much vex needed this.
so he didn't hesitate kissing back and wrapping his arms completely around the fae. his hands settled in dark hair before dragging down vex's features and he quickly took control of the kiss in order to press as much desire and affection into it as possible. to say without words what vex needed to hear. ]
[ There were so many who didn't believe in him, including his own father. Why did the son of death? He had no choice but to trust him. He trusted Mark, but there was always a cynical part of him that attributed his faith to youthful love. Nico was young as well, but his origins were anything but. Not to mention the knowledge that he'd seen Tartarus, he clearly knew how far someone could fall. How anyone saw him, his entire self, and still accepted him was beyond Vex's comprehension.
He didn't need to dominate the kiss, Nico not only responded by took control of it. He showed Vex exactly how much he wanted him with physical affection, something that was possible for Vex to excuse away or deny. His lips were powerful, as was his body, that lithe form that fit against his like they were made for each other. Their hearts may go elsewhere, with different people, but everything else connected perfectly.
This wasn't just sexual, and his voice was almost pathetic when the kiss eased and he whispered against his mouth. ]
Nico, please. I need you inside me.
[ He needed far more than that, but for now that would help him. ]
[ the plea in the fae's voice was hard to deny. it spoke of pain, regret, emptiness, fear, and loneliness. a need to be wanted. nico had no inclination of denying vex, but even if he did, he couldn't see how anyone could turn him down in that moment and feel no remorse. vex was a man in need, a desperation nico felt in his bones because it was his own as well. it was to be expected of anyone as steeped in death as they were.
nico didn't want vex to think about that, though. he didn't want vex to think of anything save for what felt right, what felt good. so he slid out of vex's lap to settle on the jacuzzi bench next to him while keeping his fingers gliding through vex's hair. ]
[ Here. Now. But the sound of bed had a certain appeal, especially when he could linger in it with Nico. ]
Bed. [ He conceded, and brought them both up to stand. As much as he didn't want to let him go, he had to in order to climb out of the jacuzzi. His cock was half-hard as he picked up his warm robe and wrapped it around himself, then grabbed a spare from the rack for Nico.
By the time they got to one of the guest bedrooms, the robes would've done a decent job of absorbing the moisture, though he still felt damp when he tugged it off. He ran it against his hair a few times before he dropped it on the ground.
There he stood, naked, a frown creased on his features, his eyes focused on nothing. The momentary distance had been too much, he needed Nico to ground him again. ]
[ seeing the way vex was so distracted, obviously caught up in the negative emotions that were slowly taking over him, nico was quick to respond. he climbed quickly out of the tub and then followed vex, never straying too far. and as soon as vex was standing there naked, his gaze unfocused, nico shucked off his own robe and shorts before reaching out with both hands to cup vex's cheeks. ]
It's okay, caro mio. I'm right here.
[ he pushed up on his toes to press a quick kiss to vex's forehead, one to his brows, a few to his cheeks, gradually making his way to vex's lips where the kiss was much more drawn out. it also gave him the opportunity to push vex back towards the bed and climb on top him as the fae settled on it. ]
[ His touch, the look on his beautiful face, his sweet words and that sexy sprinkling of italian... Vex was very willing to be yanked out his personal hell, and into Nico's arms.
Even as he eased onto the bed, his skin tingled faintly where he'd been kissed. Warmth, comfort, things he didn't deserve but needed. He reached for him, his fingers caressing over his cheeks as they sank back into his damp hair.
He pulled him down to kiss him properly, slow, but deep. His mouth opened wide to him, his tongue moving in a sensual slide along Nico's. His head tilted to increase the depth, wanting to 'lock' that connection in a way, while his hips pushed up against him.
Everything about his movements was needy, a plea to be taken care of, even though Nico had already said he would. ]
[ as they kissed, nico took care to run his hands up and down vex's body in slow swathes of tender caresses. wherever muscles were tense, nico's fingers massaged, urging vex to relax. eventually, nico slid his hands up vex's body again and broke the kiss in order to reach over to where he knew the lube would be. after dropping it on the bed, he caught vex's lips again, maintaining the slow and sensual hold that allowed him to show vex how much the fae was cared for.
eventually, his hands slid lower again, dipping between vex's legs to curl around his cock. the strokes he gave to vex were just as slow and loving as his touch and kisses had been because he was intent on taking the best care he could of his friend. ]
[ The kind of care and affection Nico was showing him was something he was definitely not familiar with. The only one who treated him like this in bed was Mark, and even then it wasn't frequent enough to grow accustomed to it. Then again, he supposed he would never get used to anyone giving a damn about him.
He shuddered, his body stretching and arching against his touch responsively. His cock was quick to rise in Nico's warm hand, and even his nipples had stiffened at that point. He could feel the pucker of his ass twitching in anticipation, which was drawing his attention away from the desperation behind all of this- for reasons that had he not been so hardened by life, he would just curl into a fetal position and sob helplessly. Still, it was tempting.
When he thought that he moaned pathetically, his whisper muffled by their mouths. ]
Please hurry, love...
[ He bent his legs and rose them, exposing himself as much as he could. ]
[ the sound of vex pleading for him was impossible for nico to ignore. there was so much pain and anguish in vex's voice, so much hurt and need that nico knew he could soothe. so it didn't take much further prompting for him to grab the lube and begin preparing his friend. each step and touch was still impossibly gentle and each brush of fingers was careful, hoping to bring forth as much passion and pleasure as possible, rather than cause any pain. at another time, they could explore the sometimes wonderful sting of pain during sex, but for now, nico wanted to take the utmost care of vex, both body and soul.
when he finally felt that vex was prepared enough, he made sure his own length was carefully coated. the touch prompted him to hiss, having ignored his own need while being concerned with vex. but now he took the opportunity to give himself a few slow strokes, lashes fluttering against his cheeks as he groaned. ]
Vex, Styx, the things you do to me...
[ and it was true. even in his current state, vex had the capability to leave nico wrecked. perhaps it was a side-effect of the fae being his first or perhaps it was just the closeness between them that didn't lack for affection while they still understood that their love was placed elsewhere. whatever the case, nico couldn't help but marvel at the way vex's splayed form made his breath catch when he hooked those long legs over his shoulders and began positioning himself.
he was slow to enter, at first, but knowing that vex was no stranger to this, he began pushing in more steadily until he was buried to the hilt. he could feel his balls twitch as the pressed against the warmth of vex's ass and nico leaned forward to press open mouth kisses along the fae's collarbone. ]
[ Vex loved pain because it felt real, but he didn't need that sensation with Nico- his friend was real enough already. It seemed impossible, but Nico was there for him, gave a shit about him, wanted him, even wanted to give him what he needed despite the emotional strain of the situation. If the situations were reversed, would he go flaccid and make tea instead?
Any attention to his tender ring made Vex's breathing speed up. He was a fae who was attuned to the pleasures of anal, even though oral was his favorite act. Those gentle touches served to remind him how sensitive he was, how every nerve tingled and muscles quivered in response. With a simple stroke of his finger, he tried to clamp around him to pull him in deeper. It was undeniable that he had a very greedy hole- everything about him was greedy, honestly. ]
Nico...
[ Not a nickname or a curse, his given name murmured with a whimper in his throat. His head dropped onto the bed, lashes fluttering as his legs rested on his friend's shoulders. No, it wasn't one-sided, he was completely wrecked too- stripped, emotionally raw, echoing to that time Nico had sung an Italian lullaby for him and held him throughout the night. It was love, different than the kind he had for Mark or the sort Nico had for the ones he was romantic with, but still love nonetheless. Something an outcast like Vex was unused to.
What wasn't foreign was the feeling of him sliding into his ass. So hard, the perfect bloody size, a keening sound escaped him as his back arched and hips pushed against Nico's willingly. He didn't realize he'd been holding his breath, and it came out in a rush of warm air as his skin was kissed. ]
Like that. Like that, I... nnh... put my legs 'round your waist, love, I wanna hold you.
[ As close as he could, even if it meant bending himself in half. He needed to hug him while they did this. The moment Nico lowered his legs and got closer, he'd be pulled into that fierce embrace. ]
[ regardless of how many times he or vex ever did this together or with anyone else, it still felt as though vex was as tight as a virgin. it was breathtaking, making nico groan softly as he adjusted, feeling himself throb within vex's body. and if it was just sex alone, he'd be trembling already. but because this was something more, the sharing of emotion and affection while soothing a broken heart, it made him tremble even more.
nico was slow to unbend vex's legs and guide them off his shoulders, but that was only because he was still taking care. then, wrapping those legs around his waist, he leaned forward and pressed a shaking hand against the bed next to vex's head. now enveloped in vex's embrace, he began to thrust. it was a slow, sensual movement of his hips in an almost lazy rhythm. when he pushed into vex's body, he pushed himself as deep as he could before withdrawing again. and the hand not supporting himself over vex found purchase at the fae's hip.
his breath was a bit shaky, like the arm holding him up, but he kept his gaze on his friend's features. leaning forward, he caught vex's mouth with his own and gave him a slow, sensual kiss. when he broke away, he smoothed the hand at vex's hip up his side. ]
Like this?
[ hips snapping forward a bit more roughly, nico licked his lips, continuing to watch vex. ]
[ When Nico came down trembling into his arms, when he kissed him like that, Vex might have wept if he was capable. The pace was perfect because it allowed them to kiss and hold one another without too much difficulty, and it also rubbed Vex at all the right angles. His muscles clenched responsively, quivering around the intrusion and welcoming it. ]
Like-- mm! That!
[ He gasped out while his head fell on the bed again. He continued to clutch onto Nico as if his life depended on it, but the demigod would have a great view of his face if that was what he desired: Vex's throat was exposed, pale cheeks were flushed, lips parted, shiny and swollen from their kiss, eyes closed and dark lashes were wet with tears that would never fall. ]
Uh... uh, yeah, mmh...
[ His teeth pressed into his lower lip. Blunt nails dug into Nico's back and hips moved willingly up into his thrusts, heels firmly against his ass. They easily found a rhythm with each other, one that began to slowly build as Vex's desperation did. ]
Feels so bloody, nn, good inside me. Ah, shit, Nico, mm! K-Keep, mm, keep looking at me like that..
[ seeing the unshed tears, nico dipped forward to kiss them away. as he did, he began a rough pace. the kind vex would enjoy. with each forward thrust, nico made sure to run his lips and tongue over the pale, exposed throat. and when he wasn't leaving marks on vex's skin, he held the fae's gaze, his own dark and lit as if with a fire set behind a broken mirror. ]
Tell me. Tell me how it feels.
[ the speed increases and with each thrust, nico takes care to twist his hips, ensuring vex feels every inch of his cock within him, hoping to reach deep and find that place in vex's body that will make him see stars. if vex wanted out of his head, he was more than happy to provide that escape. and if vex needed him, nico was more than happy to provide. ]
[ The attention to his neck made him tremble, but honestly had the shaking between them ever stopped? This was some of the most intense sex of his entire life and somehow Nico expected him to be able to put it into words. Vex was no poet, wait, or was he? He used to dream of becoming one so long ago, when he was Nico's age- no, younger still. He had hope then, while he had none now, barely holding on because his friend was keeping him together with his kisses and his prick. ]
I... I, oh, Nico, it's...
[ His dark, almost helpless, gaze was fixated on him. He was drowning, but Nico's heat, his flame, was burning away those terrible feelings against all odds. The increased speed, the angle, the-- there-- he cried out, unable to keep his eyes open as his hard prick rubbed against his prostate. His sorrow had been eradicated, replaced with the smothering heat of ecstasy. ]
Love... it! Love it, there, y-your cock, oh, shit feels so bloody, ugh! Please, please Nico, oh, yes, please!
[ Vex had no pride, so it didn't wound him to beg. But even if he did, he allowed himself to lower all of those defenses with his dear friend. One hand fell away from his back and slid along his arm, he sought out his hand and didn't stop until their fingers were tangled together- palm to palm. A very intimate state of being for a mesmer with anyone, but he shared that with Nico now. It may not be easily felt for anyone who didn't channel power through their hands, but if Nico did in any fashion he might be able to feel it- the warm throb of Vex's magic, almost tingling. ]
