The Revenant

Complicated Friendship.

ELENA

I waited outside the cell for Nova,waiting for a good fifteen minutes before he finally showed himself. I spied him as he walked past. He always gave me shivers,and I could never really take my eye's off of him,especially when I'd get a view of his ass.

We'd grown up together he and I. At least since we were seven year's old. Both of us knew eachother from the Army. No jokes,the only reason I joined and worked my way up to General,second to Commander,was so that I could be closer to him. Wherever Nova went,I went.

I followed close behind him as we made our way towards the showers. Nova shut the door behind us. We had our own private bathroom,with our own private sauna,and while many rumours circulated that Nova and I would...do things,in here,we never did.

Nova slowly got undressed,and I was so hypnotised by him taking his clothes off that I forgot all about mine. Almost the whole of his upper body from his waist to his chest were littered with scars. Granted I was mostly just focused on his abs most of the time,just watching them flex as he pulled off his shirt,and his stomach would contract in just a bit as he tugged his shirt off his head,showing even more of his abs to me.

I bit my lip as I watched him undress. Every piece of clothing he took off,I wanted to take off. Every body part he touched,I wanted to touch. I wanted to run my hands over his scars,kiss each and every one of them,learn where he got all of them from.

I took a deep breath as I saw Nova standing naked right in front of me. His ass was the only thing I could see,his um,ahem, crown jewel's were hidden by the locker door which he had opened. He reached into the locker and wrapped a towel round himself then shut his locker and stepped into the warm waters of the pool.

He dove underneath the waters for a few moments before he rose up again,this time,his entire body was moist with warm water,and steam slowly rose from his shoulders. Something else was moist as well but it wasn't Nova's body.

I opened my locker and quickly stopped. Inside was a small black box. I had completely forgotten about it. I had never gotten undressed so quickly in my life. I was desperate to throw all of my clothes on top of the box and cover it up so that Nova wouldn't see it. I then wrapped a towel round myself and leaped into the pool. While I was under water I caught a glimpse of Nova's legs. They weren't hairy,and he shaved them once a week to keep them that way. I always wondered if they were smooth,and soft,and I always,always wanted to explore them.

I shook my head and rose from the water,blinking rapidly to get the water out of my eye's. When I could see,Nova was right in front of me,getting closer and closer until our bodies were connected together. I could feel his body against mine,his breath on my skin...

"Elena?"

I wanted him to say my name again.

"Elena"

Again.

"ELENA!"

My eye's fluttered open. I wasn't in the pool anymore,rather on my back,cold floor beneath me. Nova was on his knee's beside me,his lips were locked with mine,his breath flowed into my mouth. He then pulled away and I yearned for his lips to come back to mine. I felt his hands on my stomach,pressing,over and over. Five times before his lips met mine again.

I then had a different feeling,an uncomfortable feeling. I couldn't breathe. I wanted to,but I couldn't. I tried,but nothing came,and as Nova kept breathing into my mouth,the feeling became more and more unbearable,until I finally gave in a coughed it out.

I choked and retched as Nova retracted away and pulled me up into a sitting position,he hit my back gently as I coughed up what seemed to be litres of water. When there was none left,and I felt I could finally breathe,Nova let out a sigh. Before I knew anything,I was in the air. My towel lay on the floor,and I realised that Nova was carrying me,the way a married man would carry his wife home after their wedding day. But I was completely naked. A part of me wanted to push Nova away,to tell him to leave me alone,but his arms were firm,and he was fairly strong despite not looking that way. He did have some muscle on him,but he wasn't exactly a gym freak.
