Friend from the wild side ( AePete AU )

Chapter 15 The End

The night was silent except for Pete's quiet hands moving underneath the blanket and touching Ae's chest. He couldn't help it, something within him felt as if Ae would disappear again if he were to take his hands off him. "Just sleep already." Ae sighed when Pete's finger tickled his hip.

"I don't want to." Pete shook his head. He let his hand slip down and into Ae's boxers, his lips touching the man's stable as he moved closer. "I wanna do it."

Ae gripped Pete's wrist, and turned his head, his eyes wide open. "We can't. You need to heal properly baby."

"I'm fine." Pete protested. "Nothing is hurting anymore. Please..."

"Pete..." Ae sighed. "I don't want to hurt you. I don't think you're ready."

"I am." Pete sat up, removing his t-shirt. He has already gained some of his weight back, and he looked healthy, at least when it came to his body. "Or is it perhaps...you're disgusted with me now? That's why you don't want to touch me? After what they did to me...I guess...I understand that. But I got tested, twice, I'm clean, I don't have any diseases-"

"Pete, that's not it!" Ae hostile reached out, hugging the younger man tightly. "I'm not disgusted by you, I swear. I'm...scared. I don't want to trigger something bad if we do it. I'm scared that if we have sex, you will just push me away."

"I won't." Pete whispered. "Please...I want you to touch me. I need you to touch me."

Pete slowly climbed onto Ae's lap, and placed his shaky hands to the man's shoulders as he leaned in for a kiss, flinching when Ae grabbed at his waist, but he didn't move away. He trembled, but the more time has passed the bolder he got, pulling Ae's clothes off, desperately reaching for the lubricant. He slapped Ae's hand away when the man reached for condom, and shook his head. "I want to feel you inside me."

"Are you sure?" Ae whispered, kissing Pete's shoulder gently. The younger nodded, and stroke Ae with lube before he slowly descended on him, his eyes tightly shut when Ae penetrated him fully. "Are you okay?" Ae asked when Pete didn't move. "We can stop-"

"No." Pete clung to him tightly, his pulse racing. Pete had been relentless these past weeks with unanswered messages, and calls. Ae ignored them all, telling himself it was for the best. But tonight, the barrier between them broke, and Pete was never going to let him go again. He began moving, riding Pete slowly, until desperation took over, and he moved faster. He couldn't let go, even when his thighs ached and the friction got rougher, even after coming a couple times, his orgasms dry and almost painful, ate couldn't stop. In morning hours the exhaustion kicked in, and he wrapped his legs around Ae's hips, not allowing him to pull out. His face was stained with tears as he pulled Ae's face closer for another, needy kiss. "Don't leave me...please."

"I won't." Ae's voice was hoarse. "I promise."

"I'm sorry I overdid it." Pete whispered, his eyes closing. "I had to. I had to reclaim control over my own body."

"It's okay baby. You're safe now, you will always be safe." Ae hugged him tightly, finally going soft and slipping out, but he knew they couldn't clean up right away. He needed to hold Pete, and Pete needed to be held. "You should sleep now."

"Don't let go."

"I won't." Ae kissed the boy's forehead. "Never again."

"I know you think your life is dangerous." Pete spoke softly, stepping closer. "You've said that. But I don't care. I'd rather face it with you than be safe without you."

For a moment, Ae couldn't speak. The resolve he'd clung to for months was crumbling under Pete's words, under the sheer weight of his presence. He didn't expect to get ambushed by heavy conversation right in the morning when he made Pete breakfast. The younger man inhaled the congee so quickly it burned his throat, but he just had to get those words out before Ae could change is mind about their new closeness.

"You're stubborn." Ae muttered, his voice softer now.

"And you're an idiot." Pete shot back, though his tone was lighter, almost teasing.

Before Ae could protest, Pete stepped forward and wrapped his arms around him. The warmth of the embrace broke something inside Ae; something he'd been trying to suppress since the day he left.

"Pete..." Ae sighed, his voice thick with reluctant affection. "You win. I'm all yours."

Pete smiled, his face buried against Ae's shoulder. "I won't let you regret it."

Later that night, Pete crawled into Ae's bed again, as if he belonged there, wearing Ae's shirt and shorts as pyjamas. Ae watched him settle in, his heart still heavy with a mix of guilt and relief.

"My parents are okay with it, you know?" Pete said. "You and me I mean, together. They're okay with it. They don't want me to disappear again."

"That doesn't sound believable." Ae chuckled. He opened his laptop to put on some Netflix movie and put his arm around Pete's shoulders.

"Well, there is a condition." Pete bit his lip. "We can be together...as long as you never do any illegal thing ever again. No fighting or shooting or any undocumented work..."

"I'll protect you. No matter what, I won't put you in danger ever again." Ae promised. "I will be a man you can be proud of."

"I love you." Pete whispered, kissing the man's cheek.

Ae smiled. "I love you too."
