"Please."
With a sound almost like a sob, Ethan buried his face in Jakob's neck. Thrusting into him one final time, he planted himself hard and deep in Jakob's still-quivering body; letting out a hoarse cry, shuddering as he came. Muffled by Jakob's skin, it escaped his lips like a prayer; the shape of it sounding suspiciously like…
Like Jakob'sname.
Jakob hummed contentedly, rubbing Ethan's thigh tiredly with his foot, his entire body feeling lax and loose.
They lay there in a tangle; Ethan doing his best imitation of a big, oversized cat as he covered Jakob with his body, both of them sated and warm. The weight of another man against him wasn't something Jakob knew he needed in his life. Now he wasn't sure he ever wanted to do without.
The sweat and cum between them had started cooling, the gray glow of the still-paused movie on the old TV the only light in the darkened room. But Jakob didn't care, he'd never felt more satisfied; his entire body warm and pliant and relaxed.
Jelly, Ethan had called it.Just as advertised.
Sure, he ached in new and incredibly intimate ways, but… All he could think about was how much he already wanted to do it again.
He grunted as Ethan shifted, lips ghosting over Jakob's shoulder; heralding what turned out to be the great sin of Ethan extracting himself from their satisfied puddle of limbs and naked skin. There was an immense and awful sucking sound as he levered himself up and broke the seal of their sweaty chests; prompting a chuckle in that deep rolling voice that summoned up an answering grin from Jakob in response.
His abandonment didn't last long, however. Just time enough for Ethan to dispose of his condom in the wastebasket under his desk, and quickly locate a couple of old t-shirts from his hamper. One for himself and the other for Jakob, as it turned out; a quick wipe down for each of them before Ethan was back.
He perched gingerly on the edge of his own bed; the mattress dipping as he sat stiffly. The nervous expression he wore was infectious, and Jakob frowned.
"So… What now?" Jakob asked; the words coming out louder than he'd meant them to, shattering the comfortable silence that had fallen between them.
He… wasn't sure if this… What the new rules of all this might be. Ethan said he liked to hold his partners after sex, but… Was that what they were now? Jakob didn’t know. They were well beyond the bounds of friendship here, at least as Jakob knew it. But… what lay in store for them on the other side?
As ever, he looked to his best friend; happy to follow wherever Ethan led the way.
Even in this, he mused, a small smile spilling onto his lips.Just took the long way about it all, didn't I?
"Up to you, I suppose," Ethan drawled as he traced furtive patterns in the bedsheets. His expression was uncertain, almost wary as his eyes landed on Jakob's face. "Did that, uh… did that answer your questions?"
"And then some," Jakob confirmed as he stretched like a cat, registering all the signals and aches his body was sending him. "I may have some follow-ups for you later, though."
"Oh?" Ethan asked with an intrigued tilt of his head as his eyes drifted along Jakob's still-naked form, drinking in the movement. "Uh… yeah, sure. I — Whatever you need, Jakob. Any time."
Jakob chewed his lip, the warm contentment purring away in his belly dulled somewhat by the almost business-like tone of Ethan's answer to Jakob's dangled invitation.
"I… How does this work now?" he asked, frowning. "I mean…"
Jakob trailed off, but… Ah hell, you miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take, right?
"Can I sleep here?" he blurted out quickly before he had a chance to think about if he was asking for too much; all too aware of the flush that was creeping up his neck. "In your bed, I mean. With, um… With you?"
"Fuck, you sure?" Ethan's eyes were wide as his hand found its way to Jakob's leg, something fragile glimmering within their warm brown depths in the light of the old TV. "I… I didn't know if this was a — a one-off, just a wild hair up your ass kind of thing, or…"
He trailed off, as if afraid saying any more might break whatever spell had gripped the both of them in its hold here tonight.
"Certainly just hadsomethingup my ass," Jakob smirked as he shifted over on the bed, making what he hoped was a conspicuous amount of room for Ethan to join him. "Would like to again sometime. If — If you want, that is."
"Yeah?"Ethan breathed, his eyebrows shooting into his hairline. His tone was filled with a sort of dawning wonder that made Jakob's heart flutter to hear it, knowinghehad helped put it there. "I mean, yeah. ‘Course I want that. It's just that… You're my best friend, Jakob. I don't want to do anything to risk throwing that away."
Jakob frowned. There was that fear again.
"Not throwing it away," he argued. "Building something new on it, maybe. Or just… just having some fun if you'd rather, like we always have together."
"This is a little different from taking your stepdad's boat out to check the limb lines," Ethan countered.
"Yes, but so was moving off to college. We grow, we change, and sometimes we get lucky enough to have the sense fucked out of us by our best friend. Now come to bed already," Jakob demanded. "I'm exhausted, and it's — oh, crap — two am and I've got classes in the morning."
