FFXV: After the Fall

Chapter 27

   "...are you gonna be okay with it?" Gladiolus asked after he and Helena had finished a shower and were on the couch with coffee.
   "Yeah." She nodded. "I think so...I hope so. I've never done this before...not sure where to start."
   "Well, I guess it's just...the same as it was before, really." He reasoned. "Doesn't change stuff durin' the day, isn't gonna alter how we are with each other or anythin' like that. I guess the important thing is to make sure that the others don't work it out."
   "...do you really think they wouldn't understand?"
   "Yeah." He put his arm around her. "See, as well as being a bit younger than any of us, they just..." He paused. "I just don't think they'd see it how we see it, that's all. It's way too complex. They hear the bit about both of us sleepin' with you, and...that'll be that. Their minds will shut down, and they won't hear the rest."
   "Hmm. Yeah, I'd bet you're right. Kinda feels weird keepin' it from them, though. Just makes it all seem..."
   "I know." He kissed the side of her head. "You don't have to say it, I know exactly what you mean. It makes it seem wrong, cos' of havin' to go behind their backs."
   "Well...yeah."
   "Normally, it is wrong. That's what they're not gonna understand too well, cos' this? This is right. It's the different culture. That's where the difference is here, but they won't realise that. The best thing to do is keep it away from them- after all, it's not hurting them in any way, doesn't even involve them. It's all about us- you, me, Nyx...we're the only people it concerns. That's how it should be, so as long as we stick to that, it'll be fine."
She smiled at him. "Yeah. You're right."
He laughed, then. "Never thought I'd be doin' this again. I'd left all that behind, even more so when I met you. It's just funny, that's all. Couldn't predict it. But, I'm okay with it as long as it's kept nice and fair. I need you too."
   "You found me first." She said. "He can wait a while. Not to mention the fact that after a bit I'm gonna need a fucking rest..."
He laughed again. "Yeah, heh. We can space it out...although if anyone is gonna wear you out, it's gonna be me."
She giggled at that. "Oh yeah? You got a competitive streak somewhere in there? Kinda sounds like it."
   "You said it, I found you first. Soon as we get some proper time alone? I'll be lookin' to assert that fact." He winked at her.
   "In that case, I'm lookin' forward to it."
   "Me too...wish it was now. But, I guess that we'll need to get back up there soon and meet the others for breakfast. Then, you've got that whole training thing to do with him and Noct, this...shield you've gotta make stronger. There's no time."
She glanced briefly at her watch; nine-fifteen.
   "What time are we meetin' them, again?" She asked.
   "Uh...ten, I think. Or maybe just after."

She grinned at him, then put her mug down and moved to sit on top of his lap, looking at him with a smile. She then took the mug out of his own hands, putting it on the same table as hers, then leant back to give him a look he'd find impossible to misread.
   "...what's this?" He chuckled. "Look like you've got an idea."
   "Oh, I've got one alright. You'd like it."
   "Yeah? Do tell."
   "It's only nine-fifteen right now." She stated.
He looked at his watch, playing along with her. "Right, okay..."
   "We've got thirty minutes, at least, forty at a push. If we can't do something with that, we're not the people we think we are."
He grinned at her, then watched as she took hold of his hands and placed them onto her lower back. Hers then went to his tee, pulling the bottom out of his trousers so that she could sneak a hand underneath while she leaned forwards to get at his neck.
He froze for an instant, then started to feel it and wandered his hands over her, also levering out her top to get at skin as well as sending the occasional palm over her ass.
This was different. He liked it. He liked it a lot.

   "Twenty-nine minutes." She whispered, making him giggle.
   "I'm...still not too sure what you're after here." He teased.
She stopped, and looked him in the face. "...you're not? Okay then, I guess I'm not makin' myself very clear. You're always the one sayin' we can make time, yeah? There's time now- if- we're quick. So, I want you to take that big cock of yours, and I want you to fuck me with it. That a little clearer?"
She then returned to his neck, and he was frozen again for a few seconds before he started to respond, her boldness taking hold of him and beginning to promote very rapid interest.
He was starting to run out of room in his trousers, that was for sure. Specially when she started moving slightly, rubbing against it with her own body and...
   "Twenty-eight." She told him.
That pretty much broke him right then and there. He could scarcely believe it, but...he needed this woman, and fast.
