Hijra [A few weeks later]

[momslilassassin]

Ben was catching up on emails from home--news about the Sith, the latest gossip from Jag and Jaina's corner of the galaxy and whatever Allana had gotten herself up to while being unsupervised (there was a lot of "it'd seemed like a good idea!!!" in her correspondence)--and then poking around scientific journals about advancements in reproductive technology.

You know. For no real reason. Cough.

He drank tea and really missed having those yummy red fruits around. He'd need to ask when they came back the next time he went to the market.

Comments

"I love watching you come undone," Ben said softly. "I'm the only one who sees you like this--"

[endsthegame]

"Ngggh," Ender said coherently, and arched his back. "Like seeing you give in too--"

[momslilassassin]

"Must be why we do this so much," Ben teased, sucking on Ender's lower lip.

[endsthegame]

Ender hummed something vaguely in accordance. "Like the language... too..."

Well, here. Anywhere else, he found it a little unnecessary.

[momslilassassin]

"Think it's because we don't normally use it," Ben decided, moving his hand a little more quickly again.

[endsthegame]

"Probably--"

Incidentally, Ben sounding that untouched and thoughtful while doing this-- a surprising turn-on, all in all. Ender made a little noise and dropped his head back and stopped attempting to have anything resembling a conversation because-- guh, close.

[momslilassassin]

"Beautiful boy," Ben crooned in his ear. "Let go for me."

[endsthegame]

Was there ever a time Ben's voice hadn't struck him straight in the gut like this? Ender honestly couldn't remember.

He obeyed, because there was no way in hell he couldn't-- clinging on to Ben and shaking as he let it all go.

[momslilassassin]

Ben leaned in and gave him a thorough kissing as he stroked Ender's arm. "Love you."

[endsthegame]

Ender hummed something distinctly happy into the kiss. "Mmmtoo."

[momslilassassin]

Ben was quite happy to just keeping Ender, then. Mmm, kissing.

He combined kissing and wiping his sticky hand on the side of the bed because he was a multitasker that way.

[endsthegame]

Hygienic!

Ender, on the other hand, was going to need a shower for his sticky parts. But he'd deal with that later.

Eventually he gave Ben a nudge so they could roll onto their sides, but not after some serious, slow kissing first.

[momslilassassin]

"Mmmm," Ben replied, finally pulling away. "Ho, kreetle."

[endsthegame]

"Ho, Ben," Ender muttered. "I could use a nap..."

[momslilassassin]

"Me too," Ben said, wrapping his arms around Ender again, "but I'm staying here."

[endsthegame]

"I have no objections to that," Ender muttered, shoving his foot under the blanket. "Good date?"

[momslilassassin]

"Astral," Ben replied, kissing Ender's cheek. "Especially if you admire my restraint not making a fireworks pun about what we just did."

[endsthegame]

Ender laughed softly. "I'm tired," he said. "Make the pun. You can get away with it."

[momslilassassin]

"I think our show was better than the one outside," Ben said, looking ridiculously pleased with himself.

[endsthegame]

Ender chuckled harder than he'd admit to and reached over to pull Ben into another kiss.

[momslilassassin]

"And that's one of the reasons I love you so much," Ben murmured. "You laugh at my jokes."

[endsthegame]

"It was a terrible joke," Ender said, smiling at him anyway. "But I'm always charmed by how you tell them."

[momslilassassin]

"With so much flair?" Ben replied, smiling back.

[endsthegame]

"Let's call it that,' Ender said fondly.

[momslilassassin]

Ben kissed his cheek. "I love you a ridiculous amount."
