            〝  because that's all i've ever known!  i hate running away from my problems just as much as it frustrates you.  but at the same time i can never bring myself to get up once i'm down because i know i'll make the same mistakes again and hurt those i care about-! ＂ he used his forearm in an attempt to scrub away at the tears that fell by to no avail〝  i really do want to be better..  to be someone you can properly admire and be proud of.  but i just can't do it by myself... ＂

it took him aback,  seeing how quickly he had broken down the moment his palms pressed against bespeckled cheeks..  now stained with dew droplets of tears,  at first yuaine didn't take the apology well.  his anger,  still undeterred by vague implications  ...  actions,  purpose behind everything.  but the way he was willing to let go?  that easily after everything?  seemed to have added fuel to it instead of empathy.   “  you're just gonna abandon everything?  ”⠀his brows knit,  confused─upset.⠀“  that's not what i wanted!  i didn't ask you to leave.  all i want is for you to take accountability,  why is that so difficult for you?!  ”⠀his hands remains still to his cheeks,  though with a slight force of shake.  but slowly..  after seeing the genuine forlorn upon ajax's features,  he slowly let go.⠀“  see?  it..  doesn't work.  i'll..  hurt you too.  it's always been like this between us.  ”

            〝  none..  you know i can't bring myself to act with a facade around you... ＂ emerald hues of his own stared at yusef's before closing,  the tears he had been holding back this entire time finally silently falling once he felt the others hands cup his face〝  i'm sorry yua..  i never meant to break your heart like i did  ( ... )  if you really do want me to leave i promise i will if it'll make you happy... ＂ it pained him to say those words,  but deep down he understood how horrible he must've seemed to the other for wanting to still selfishly hold onto any remaining thread that still kept them together〝  that way.. you can go on and live your life the way you want without me being a burden to you... ＂

            ajax was quick to bite back the reply that was about to be uttered from him as he was pulled even closer to yusef.  this really was starting to become too much for his heart-  oh god,  could yusef even feel how fast his heart was beating right now??  he hiped that wasn't the case and if it was,  prayed that the other wouldn't point it out on his behalf〝  you're making this sound competitive all of a sudden＂ he managed to finally comment back in what he hoped sounded like his usual playful tone

“  i'm not dumb,  of course i know that you twerp—╴ ”   he answers back in whisper,  though in a form of a small yell.  somehow the traces left to his nape effectively making him settle down....  almost.⠀“  don't make fun of me.  i'll show you exactly how to do this.  ”⠀his other hand slid and rests upon the curve of ajax's spine,  the other still remaining on his hip.  somehow determined to prove him wrong,  he pulls the slighter male closer to him—gently swaying against him amidst the rhythm.

            〝  you do know there's other forms of dancing right?  it isn't always rowdy and wild ＂ he jokingly questioned in a hushed tone as his index digit lightly traced shapes along the nape of yusef's neck〝  or are you just saying that because you secretly have two left feet and can't dance properly? ＂ he suddenly became hyper aware of the way the brunette's hands rested along his hips,  his mind running a million miles per second as he started to internally melt at the gentle gesture.  he really did seem to fold so fast when it came to yusef

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@capstained 　)
            〝  what's this?  does /the/ yuaine actually want praise from a simpleton like me? ＂ he teasingly asked while approaching the brunette with a laugh and water bottle in hand.  the bottle was cool against yusef's skin as ajax pressed it against his cheek〝  i will admit though,  that was a pretty good shot ＂

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@capstained 　)
            the look yusef gave him was alarming in the sense of how fast it made ajax drop his guard,  his mouth moving before he could think about doing so〝  it's... a really stupid reason why i don't like the ocean.  it's got nothing to do with you though-  i promise..  i just,  don't know how to explain it... ＂ he eventually sighed out while rubbing at the nape of his neck.  feeling the scarring along the skin had him subconsciously frown,  the habit of wanting to scratch and scrub at it being tempting despite the bad memories it brought up

that answer..  didn't seem so convincing.  yusef was sure of it,  there was something bothering ajax that's making him feel this way.  he wasn't usually despondent,  should he even press on further and ask?  ajax was purposely avoiding the question. ⠀ʿʿ  .. ajax,  why can't you tell me?  ʾʾ ⠀he asks another question,  this time it was gentler─leaning more onto his well-being rather than the information.

            〝  i just thought it'd help me get over being afraid of the ocean better.  some good ol' fear exposure therapy you know? ＂ the way ajax lightly bit at the inside of his cheek along with his avoidant gaze,  it was easy to tell he wasn't fully telling the truth.  it's as if he was withholding information from yusef,  which he never wanted to do.  but he just couldn't bring himself to say what truly was on his mind〝  man,  was the water always that cold?  i didn't even notice until now ＂ he commented in an attempt to change the subject while burying closer against the other despite knowing that yusef most likely wouldn't let this topic go so easily

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@capstained 　)
            ajax's expression softened into a light-hearted smile as he floated over to yusef before sitting on one of the tree's branches〝  you know i wouldn't actually do that,  right?  you wanna just stay in this tree and hang out like this instead? ＂

ʿʿ  i don't want that either!  are you dumb?!  you took me here and now you're leaving?  ʾʾ ⠀yusef yelled out,  clearly not liking that option as well.

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@capstained 　)
            〝  and you call me the crybaby..- ＂ he commented with an unimpressed expression on his face as he watched the brunette cowering in the tree〝  i can just leave you here instead if that's what you want y'know?  ＂

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@capstained 　)
            〝  i've come to understand why.  you had your own reasons that i didn't want to come to terms to in the past ＂ he said,  no longer floating and instead stood behind yusef,  his arms shifting to wrap loosely around the other's waist〝  and it's because i was scared that you did the same after we fought and you left.  i know i should've just reached out to you,  would've honestly made things easier if we tried talking..  but knowing us,  we're both too stubborn to go admitting things first ＂

yusef snapped out of the negative trance after feeling the warm hands of ajax..  soothing over the skin.  golden eyes fixed upon the affectionate gesture.  it was comforting,  and rather peculiar. ⠀ʿʿ  you must be dissapointed.  ʾʾ ⠀added yusef. ⠀ʿʿ  i didn't turn out to be the lost boy you've hoped for.  ʾʾ  ⠀lines furrow,  he lifts his head and meets his nature hued orifices. ⠀ʿʿ  then,  why did you..  replace me?  ʾʾ

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@capstained 　)
            it was taken into account how tight yusef's grip on the rope was,  the sight making ajax's lips press into a thin line before nudging his own hands to hold onto the pirate's,  trying to silently convey to him to ease his hold before yusef hurt himself〝  you can change as much as you want,  but i'm still always gonna be here.  calling me stubborn for it won't push me away either ＂ thumbs idly rubbed soothingly over the back of the other's palms 〝  partners until the end,  just like we promised remember? ＂

any excuse just either fuels the irritation,  or simply worsens the situation.  rather frustrated of an unsolicited visitor,  yusef turns to the door then yells. ⠀ʿʿ  alastair!  there's a pest here that needs to get thrown out!  ʾʾ ⠀the so called  ‘pest’  highly refers to ajax,  a curvature to his lips finally gracing the impassivity. ⠀ʿʿ  or,  i could throw this one out at the sea.  ʾʾ

            〝  since when had that become a thing?  i've always been happily invited over! ＂ he argued despite most of his past methods of visiting being in the form of sneaking in when no one was looking〝  you even keep me around longer than any unwelcomed gueat!  makes me think that you actually want me to stay~ ＂

for someone who fell over,  ajax remained mirthful.  that thrown little quip even added to the annoyance. ⠀ʿʿ  ha,  wow.  so classic.  ʾʾ ⠀boots met with the hardwood planks,  each deliberate of its steps to finally halt over the tumbled enemy. ⠀ʿʿ  you're not welcome here.  ʾʾ ⠀bending down,  he grasps the back of his shirt by the neckline──hoisted like a mother cat would to its young.

            yusef's sudden urge to be competitive made ajax chuckle in amusement,  his head softly shaking before he spoke once more〝  why would you have the need to be competitive against yourself?  you already won you dork ＂ a light pinch was given to the other cheek of the brunette's before he fully leaned against the other,  making it so the two were now laying on the grass below

yusef’s golden orbs focused onto emerald ones.  with a casual tilt to his head,  he’d settle his cheek just upon his palm.  “…i’m still hotter right?”  he’d wait for a reply,  honestly,  he was going to treat it as a competition…  whoever that person was?  better be counting their days.

            〝  they actually are great,  the best even! ＂ he stated as a matter of factly with a proud smile〝  known them since i was little.  you wouldn't be shocked if you knew who they were ＂ emerald hues continued to stare at the brunette in quiet admiration despite how amused he sounded at witnessing the athlete's confusion〝  their eyes always light up when they talk about their aspirations,  i can't help but be easily charmed ＂

            〝  you egotistical dumbass.  saying that as if you weren't gonna fuck me stupid in the first place ＂ his eyes lightly rolled as he briefly sat up to properly stare at the brunette.  his other hand lift to trace along features,  wanting to commit every detail to memory before leaving a chaste kiss along yusef's lips〝  bet you've been thinking about something like this happening huh? ＂ he muttered against soft petals while lightly biting at the other's bottom lip

"  that's not what i meant—  but..  honestly you can say that.  " ⠀he grinned,  proudly it appears.  did he feel guilty with all that clamor last night?  absolutely not. ⠀"  if i didn't take the initiative,  you wouldn't have your brains fucked out of oblivion.（...）honestly i was just upset cause you didn't tell me you wanted to get fucked.  " ⠀that likely explains why he went so rough as well..

            〝  hey,  at least let me have my moment of fun after what the two of you put me through ＂ ajax pressed a few kisses along yusef's exposed shoulder as their hands intertwined 〝  ha,  i wouldn't be surprised if they complain about all the noise.  and what do you want me to say,  that your dick game is a ten out of ten? ＂

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@capstained 　)
            〝  someone..  might walk in-! ＂ his body squirmed against the restrictive hold he was in,  being shown no mercy against their rough thrusts.  his own cock lightly slapped against the prominent bulge in his abdomen with each thrust as precum oozed from the weeping tip

yusef's breath is hot against ajax's ear,  his voice a sinful hiss from the bite to his neck and the tightness that clasped his thick shaft.⠀"  your little boy pussy is so fucking tight,  your body says otherwise..  " ⠀he began to move in a punishing pace,  even more so as he's lifted and anchored down their cocks—– hips slapping against the ajax's ass.  the wet,  filthy sounds of skin on skin echoes obscenely within the room with cocks kissing deep within,  enough to create a bulge to his abdomen.

            briefly remembering that the door was still slightly ajar,  he pressed his hand against his out mouth to silence his whines and outbursts of pleasure.  the sudden feeling of being filled by both figures gave him all the more reason to try and keep quiet as the rough sounds of skin against skin could be heard throughout the room〝  i'm not gonna last-! ＂ he said as their brutal pace continued causing ajax to leave a harsh bit against the brunette's neck,  the moans that left him vibrating against soft skin
