Shuttle landing zone, Hijra [Six months in stasis, twelve years Earth time gone, Tuesday in Fandom]

[momslilassassin]

After saying their final goodbyes to Ender's parents before getting to Ganges, there wasn't really much point to staying awake between stops, and so all three of them went into stasis for the duration of the flight between Ganges and Hijra, a planet they'd picked for its relative obscurity, warm, dry climate, and sand (but not too much sand, Ben had been sure to check. He hadn't come all this way to end up on another Tatooine. There was obscure and there was "furthest star from anything.") Besides, after their trip back to Kaeleer, Ben hadn't exactly been anxious to be alone with his thoughts for much time.

He'd memorized what little information had changed about their new home planet: very quiet, minimal interference from Earth's government (which was now a few generations past Peter's time, and that was a little hard to get used to), made up primarily of Earth immigrants from the Middle East, and Northern and Central parts of Africa. They'd been drawn to the heat as much as Ben had been. With all of his possessions in the duffel over his shoulder, he stepped down out of the shuttle and took his first breath of non-recycled air in six months. "Sure is hot," he said, tilting his head up to the sun. "Feels good. Where's our house again?"

Ender promptly shut his eyes, making a muffled noise into his hand.

His other one snuck down to find its way into Ben's hair.

[momslilassassin]

Ben hummed happily, resting his free hand on Ender's stomach.

[endsthegame]

Ender's breathing picked up speed, but he managed to keep any further noise in.

His thighs trembled a little with the effort of keeping still. His body wanted some outlet.

[momslilassassin]

Ben was discovering that he really, really liked Ender like this. He slid his mouth off, but only so he could make that soft slurping sound that Ender liked.

[endsthegame]

Ender squeezed his eyes shut harder. That sound would never stop being obscene to his ears.

[momslilassassin]

"More?" Ben murmured, kissing Ender's inner thigh.

[endsthegame]

Ender pulled his hand off his mouth and breathed in sharply. "Bed," he said. "Now."

[momslilassassin]

Ben shivered slightly at Ender's tone of voice--he loved when Ender got like this--before making his way to the bed on slightly unsteady legs.

He sat on the edge and got rid of his clothing before glancing up at Ender.

[endsthegame]

Ender had already kicked off his shoes and pants in that short period of time. He tugged his shirt off and cast it aside. Advanced on Ben, put both of his hands on the bed and leaned in to kiss him hard as he pushed him back into the mattress with his body.

[momslilassassin]

Ben let out a soft moan and wrapped his arms around Ender's neck, kissing him back just as hard.

The bed, he learned as he fell back onto it, was a little hard.

[endsthegame]

They could live with that.

"Shh," Ender murmured between kisses, though he could hear the shower running - Val probably wouldn't hear much. For now.

[momslilassassin]

"Trying," Ben replied, scratching his fingers along Ender's spine. "Stop being so kissable."

[endsthegame]

"I'll try," Ender promised, kissing Ben's throat.

[momslilassassin]

"Don't try too hard," Ben murmured, arching against him.

[endsthegame]

"So I shouldn't eat all the garlic at the market," Ender surmised, nipping down at that spot.

[momslilassassin]

"Not without brushing your teeth very thoroughly," Ben said--well, hissed because the nipping thing was distracting and nice.

[endsthegame]

"Okay," Ender said, sliding down to apply the nipping thing again-- to Ben's nipple.

[momslilassassin]

Ben whimpered and arched off the bed. "Kreetle--"

[endsthegame]

Ender looked up at him reproachfully. "Quiet."

[momslilassassin]

Ben kissed him hard in reply.

[endsthegame]

Nggggh.

Ender abandoned his earlier plans in favor of simply rocking his hips against Ben's.

[momslilassassin]

Ben slid his hands down Ender's back and squeezed his rear, then moved his head to nibble on Ender's ear.

[endsthegame]

Ender sighed, sliding his hands between them to grasp both of them at once.

[momslilassassin]

Ben let out a low whimper and rocked into Ender's hand.

[endsthegame]

"Shh, shh," Ender hissed, moving his hand as well as he could.
