Chapter Text
It’s been a few days since Liam found himself on airys mini planet. The few forests and rivers made the scenery beautiful, but liam nor airy could appreciate it under its harsh climate. Nights were extremely cold and airy had grown accustom to the low temperatures at night. Liam however was having difficulty staying warm during nightfall.
He sat on one of the logs huddled close to the fire, his mind racing between what his next course of action should be. Texty had no battery left, but airy was quick to try and make one for the sake of liam. the fire grew as airy put more wood onto the fire, he stared at liam who looked miserable. Because airy has been away from object society for so long his social skills where completely destroyed and distorted, leaving him painfully awkward. Even identifying his own emotions were a problem, as airy sat down on a log next to the backpack, liam gave him a hard stare. Of course airy didn’t get the cue that liam didn’t want him around.
Liam was to comfortable to leave so stared back at the fire , again getting lost in his own worries. Over these few days they have spent together airy hasn’t been able to be around another person physically, other than being pushed around and yelled at by Liam it hasn’t been to great for airy. nonetheless he wanted to be closer in some way, he didn’t know what he was feeling towards liam but he yearned to be closer to him. All of this subconsciously floated in airys brain, liam got up and headed toward the cabin leaving airy alone.
The lantern shuttered like the lack of his presence was unfulfilling. a small frown appeared on his face as he was left all by himself at the fire. For the first time airy attempted to remember what normal life was like, how did people bond again? hugging,holding,, touch. the word echoed through airys head, touch… he hasn’t been able to physically touch anyone yet. Maybe this will make liam stop pushing him and yelling so much.
Airy got up and headed to the cabin , he stood at the entrance and wanted liam was he peacefully slept. slowly walking airy made his way to Liam’s side, he crouched down to get a better look at liam, he focused on watching his soft breathing. airy raised a hand putting it on the side of his face completely relying on instinct to remember how to show affection. His hand rubbed up and down the side of his face. Airy felt backpacks fabric and felt himself smile a bit, he was so soft.
Suddenly liams face formed a frown as he was waking up, airy didn’t want to stop feeling him and kept his hand on his face. laim looked up at airy with a angered look “what are you doing?” Before airy could talk liam slapped his hand away from his face “sorry,, just wanted to see something” liam looked unamused and exhausted “leave me alone airy”
liam turned around in his cheap reed bed and went back to sleep.
airy got up and crawled in his own bed staring at the ceiling , he thought about what he just did. How soft liams fabric was , how calm he looked asleep. maybe this was working. airy drifted to bed yearning for more contact.
Morning hit and airy was up first.
Usually he would venture to the cave to check in on the contestants, but airy felt himself stuck looking at liam asleep. Liam had formed eyebags like airy due to the lack of quality sleep. airy got up to early and Liam got up to late , sometimes around noon. airy brung up his hand again to liams face, this time he was in deep sleep and unbothered by the touching. airy smiled as he felt the soft fabric of laim again. His hand travelled more to his side and waist, he was completely mesmerized by his texture it was,, calming. he caressed his hips more, his hand made its way to his thigh.
Liams eyes shot open at the contact with his sensitive skin, he sat up quickly with a disturbed look on his face. “Airy?? what’s with you??” airy looked unbothered but frowning not being able to touch Liam anymore. “I was just feeling your fabric , it’s uh- nice” he said looking away. Liam looked confused as he just woken up to being touched, liam covered his face in his hands “ugh- just don’t do that anymore” airy looked up quickly “why,?”
Laim raised his head to look at airy “what do you mean why you don’t just- randomly touch people while the sleep! it’s weird” airy started still unable to comprehend the boundary liam was setting “but I want to,, uh maybe can I do it while your awake” airy raised his hand to liams face but he got up before he could touch him. “No airy” laim walked out of the cabin to the river.
Airy sat there thinking of how to touch him more
A few days passed and the touching was becoming more frequent , liams no’s ment nothing to airy and the backpack caught on that is was becoming an issue. his quick angry remarks weren’t stopping airy and it was going to far. First airy was touching him in his sleep but also started to be closer when laim was awake. while sitting at the campfire one night liam felt cold hands caress is stomach from behind, then later that day airy backed him into a corner to rub at his arms and legs. Despite airy being all alone until now he was a lot stronger than liam , and was able to trap him how he pleased. Sometimes when liam would be caressed and groped airy would quietly hum enjoying his texture and warmth.
Laim couldn’t even muster up the energy to tell him no anymore, but it soon got to much one night. As laim laid in his bed exhausted from trying to hide from airy , he wanted to close his eyes and rest but knew what would await for him when he would wake. he covered his eyes and groaned. *how could he be letting him do this to him??* he heard airy step in the cabin but he refused to open his eyes. airy stepped closer and loomed over the backpack. airy had been paying less attention to the plane and more to liam. He formed a small addiction to liams warmth, wanting to feel him every chance he got. When liam stopped saying no airy only got more touchy, airy sat down next to liam and grabbed his sides pulling him up onto him. Liam opened his teary eyes and found himself on airys lap facing away from him.
Airy began caressing his face with one hand as his other went to his stomach right over his front pocket. Liam’s eyes shot open, his hands have never gone that low. airy rested his face on liams back pleased with the close contact. Liam froze as airys hand rested on his front pocket, that was his intimate area. Airy heard liams breath hitch and looked over his shoulder. Airy craved to be even closer, airy rubbed his face along his back and dug his hand into his side. Liam felt so wrong , it was like they were cuddling. while he was on this planet with airy he missed the contact with other people, he wanted to kiss and hold someone ,he needed closeness, But not like this not with airy. “Airy- stop” airy perked his head up , it’s been a while since he’s said no. “Why,,?” liam got up and airy let him back off of him.
“I don’t want this, not with you”
