"Hey, bring him along." Tighnari nodded in the direction Alhaitham was sitting, reading, and ignoring the rest of the world.
Tighnari just informed Kaveh that he would be throwing a little birthday party for Collei, not a lot of people were invited, but a small get together, Cyno, the Traveler, a couple of friends, and him, and Alhaitham, if he could convince him to go, that's it.
As it turns out, wasn't that difficult at all to get Alhaitham into going, Kaveh didn't manage to convince him to not bring a book to a party but hey, small victories. He was going and Kaveh would make sure he socialized at least a bit.
The party itself was just as Tighnari told him, small, very intimate, Collei was grateful and shy, effusively thanking everyone for attending, spending most of the night catching with up the Traveler that had just come back from a new trip to Inazuma, full of new exciting tales.
Kaveh left for a little air at one point. As much as he enjoyed being around people, even he had a social battery that sometimes ran out. He just needed some alone time. Walking around Gandharva Ville for a little bit, enjoying the cool air against his face.
As Kaveh walked by Tighnari's house, he noticed an odd light coming from within. He was going to ignore it, but the light changed from a deep red to purple, and then to green, and to a whole new color. The architect was intrigued. He was intruding but he didn't think Tighnari would mind much or so be hoped.
He didn't know what he was expecting exactly but wasn't a flower, so stunning it took his breath away for a second. He hadn't ever seen something like that, and the fact it was shining in different shades as well. Kaveh walked closer, the scent of it was sweet and alluring without being too much.
Kaveh approached slowly, curious of what kind of plant that was, there were some others around, flowers he could recognize, but he never had seen something so fantastical and beautiful. Pretty could make people stupid, it was the reason that Kaveh touched it.
He barely had time to marvel that the petals felt like silk against his fingers when he felt something similar to a shock go through his body. He trembled, finally coming to his senses that he just touched something that could potentially be very dangerous, poisonous.
He walked out of Tighnari's house, the noises of the party still going strong over Collei's house. Maybe it would be okay, he thought feeling the breeze, maybe it was nothing and he would be fine.
He must certainly wasn't okay, Kaveh was sweating profusely within minutes. His whole body felt tight and hot, he didn't feel like he was burning that much even during his travels through the desert. The first person to notice something was up, to his surprise, was Alhaitham.
"Why are you sweating so much? Are you sick? Do you have a fever?" The scribe moved his hand like he intended to feel Kaveh's forehead but he moved out of the way.
The heat wasn't the only side effect of whatever the fuck he had touched. As soon as Alhaitham walked up to him, Kaveh was hard. Rock hard, his dick swelling up so fast he felt dizzy, like all of his blood had just gone to his cock in a matter of seconds.
Of course, Kaveh knew he was attracted to Alhaitham, who wouldn't after all? Someone not into hot tall dudes, that's it. But the scribe was just Kaveh's type, and even when he opened his mouth and said the most infuriating things, he still was the hottest person Kaveh had ever seen. Thinking of Alhaitham's mouth didn't help, suddenly he could picture the scribe on his knees, pulling Kaveh's cock out, slowly licking the head, before taking it in his mouth, inch by inch as he maintained eye contact. Kaveh moaned. Archons, he just moaned out loud!
Alhaitham could see the distress on his face, suddenly his eyes were sharp, and that was all business Alhaitham. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"I…" Kaveh tried to breathe in and out, his voice was so rough like talking was a difficult chore. "... Might have touched something I shouldn't have."
Kaveh explained, with a raggedy breath, he didn't even leave out the part he was aroused. Kaveh did leave out the part that seeing immediately got him sprouting an erection. He could see Alhaitham throwing a fast but clear gaze at where Kaveh was straining against his slacks.
"Stay here, I'll get Tighnari."
Alhaitham came back with Tighnari, from his face he probably already knew what was going on, he looked tense.
"Explain exactly what did you do to that plant."
Kaveh did, telling everything he had just told Alhaitham a couple of minutes ago. Tighnari let out a deep sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Am I going to die or something? Was it venomous?" Kaveh laughed, trying not to topple over.
"No, not going to die, probably ."
Kaveh was mostly joking about the dying part, his eyes widened. "Probably?"
"The plant you touched is something we had come across recently, we are still studying it, but the side effects of it are… well. Arousal, for one, is extreme arousal, to a point of uncomfortable, to a point where if you don't have sex within the next 24 hours, you could die. We are not fully sure but the people affected by it went into excruciating pain the longer they went without having intercourse, and there's just so much pain the body can take, human or otherwise. You might survive and it will wear off. But as I told you, that's something very new, we don't even have a name for it yet. We are in the process of studying if could help couples with fertility issues." Tighnari finally took a second from his speech to breathe. "So, you could wait it out but I don't recommend, seeing the timeline from when you touched it, give or take one hour before the pain sets in."
"You're telling me either I fuck or die?" Kaveh asked in disbelief.
"If you want to put it crudely, yes," Tighnari said. Alhaitham was quiet, next to them, which wasn't helping with Kaveh's situation.
"And… taking the edge off by myself wouldn't work?" Kaveh had to ask, this sounded like something out of the shittiest erotic novels he had secretly read as a teen.
"Masturbating you mean? No, it could give you relief for a few minutes but eventually, the pain would come back. So far the only cure that's guaranteed is intercourse."
Kaveh wanted to believe Tighnari was messing with him, for going into his house and touching something without permission, it would be deserved so, but he could tell he was being deadly serious. That and the fact he was so turned on and his whole body was burning with the heat of a thousand suns was proof enough.
"You're attractive and your reputation precedes you, I'm sure we can find someone to help you out, you can use my house. I can even offer my–" Tighnari was cut off by Alhaitham.
"I will do it." He said, in the same serious manner of always, like he didn't just offer himself for Kaveh to fuck for Archons' sake.
"That solves it, then," Tighnari said, looking relieved.
"No, it does not. We can't…" Kaveh gesticulated wildly between himself and Alhaitham.
"Why not? It's the logical decision. Tighnari made it clear of the repercussions of your foolishness, you need to have sex with someone to not die, and I'm single and willing and offering."
At that point Tighnari left, making sure to keep the rest of the party away from what was about to happen, what were Kaveh and Alhaitham arguing about and what the hell was going inside Kaveh’s pants.
"I know you like to act as if anything ever bothers you but we are talking about having sex, you're just going to let me fuck you to get whatever this is out of my system and then go back to being housemates as if nothing happened?" Kaveh knew he shouldn't be fighting against this so much. He needed that and was Alhaitham, someone that he had lusted after for as long as he'd known the scribe, that he had feelings for. But the fact Alhaitham was acting like it wouldn't be a big deal was pissing him off. He didn't like the fact Alhaitham wasn't going to be affected by it, as Kaveh knew would affect him.
"It could get awkward I understand that, but not letting you die beats awkwardness. Or do you prefer to find someone else to help you through it? Tighnari offered after all," Alhaitham shrugged. "Was I wrong imagining you were interested?"
If Kaveh didn't already feel lightheaded and dizzy enough before, he sure as fuck did now. Did Alhaitham know how he feel…?
"What?" He asked, his voice small.
"Wasn't hard to figure out you're attracted to me, you stare an awful lot and your pupils dilate whenever we are together and you stare at my chest, arms, and ass all the time. Again: Am I wrong in assuming you were interested in the first place?"
Kaveh almost let out a relieved sigh, Alhaitham just thought he was attracted to him and only that, which wasn't that far from the truth anyway.
"You're not wrong but. Listen, our… relationship, is already shaken since we moved in together, throw that in the mix." Kaveh said, the fight against it already leaving him, he could feel the beginning of that agonizing pain Tighnari mentioned earlier and he was still very much hard, and Alhaitham offering himself to him just like that wasn't helping.
"We are going to cross the bridge when we get to it, now let's leave before someone finally notices that erection you have been sprouting for half an hour." Alhaitham didn't wait for Kaveh as he walked out in the direction of Tighnari's house.
Kaveh had no other choice but to follow him, now that he finally accepted that it was really happening, his heart was racing. He had imagined that scenario many times, never something like that, but he would take what he could get.
When Kaveh walked inside Tighnari's house, Alhaitham was already going through his things, retrieving what looked like oil. The bottle was half empty, and Kaveh didn't want to think with whom and how Tighnari was using it.
"How do you want me?" Alhaitham asked, already taking off his clothes, and shirt coming off, leaving what seemed like miles of naked skin, tight little pink nipples, and muscles for days for the architect to admire. Kaveh's mouth was suddenly watering.
Kaveh didn't reply as he continued to watch Alhaitham undress, taking in and memorizing every bit of him, to remind himself later when this eventually blew up on his face as he knew it would.
"Do you want me to prepare myself?" Kaveh shook his head if they were doing this, he wanted to make sure Alhaitham took pleasure out of it and wasn't just a hole to fuck so he didn't die. He wanted Alhaitham as out of control as he felt.
"I'll do it." Kaveh finally approached him, taking his clothes off in the way, and taking the vial from the scribe's hand.
They haven't talked about terms and what was allowed or not, so as Kaveh pulled Alhaitham against him, holding his neck so he could kiss the scribe, he half expected to be pushed away. Alhaitham didn't though, instead, he reciprocated, opening his mouth so Kaveh could taste him properly.
And oh, how he tasted good. A mix of wine, fruit cake, and all Haitham, Kaveh held his neck harder, making the scribe open his mouth wider, the kiss becoming savage, tongues in the filthiest and sweetest of the battles. But that wasn't enough for Kaveh.
He pushed Haitham against the bed, where he fell, breaking from their kiss, his cheeks were red, his lips looking bruised and Kaveh's dick twitched, he didn't know how it was possible but it became even harder.
He threw the oil next to Alhaitham, and got on top of him, kissing him again, this time going to his neck and down. The part of Kaveh that was drugged up by the strange-looking flower was telling him to hurry the fuck up, but he wanted to take this time and he would savor it.
When Kaveh reached Haitham's nipples, he took a second to admire that full chest he always ogled, he squeezed them, looking up surprised when Alhaitham moaned and then proceeded to blush prettily, the redness that was up to his cheeks and neck now going down, up to his chest. And what a chest. Kaveh's mouth went to one of the scribe's nipples, sucking on it, biting it a little too harshly but he didn't hear a complaint. Alhaitham seemed to enjoy it.
Kaveh gave his other nipple the same treatment, only stopping when there were bite marks around his chest and his nipples were a deep pink, wet with his saliva. For a second he pictured his cock going between these pecs, he was sure he could tit fuck him, but maybe another time.
At that point, Kaveh's brain was filled with thoughts of Alhaitham and Alhaitham only. What brought them to that moment, the flower - that wasn't even in the room anymore, when did Tighnari get it out? - and everyone else probably still enjoying the party, maybe even wondering where the two of them went, was flying out of the window.
Kaveh moved, spreading Alhaitham's legs, getting a pillow, and moving the scribe with his help, getting it under his ass to keep him elevated.
Kaveh moaned at the sight of Haitham's hole, pink and hairless, did he shave down there or was he naturally hairless, he wondered. He wanted to get his mouth there but his cock had enough of not being inside Alhaitham, he needed to fuck him, right that moment.
His mind was still clear enough to get the scribe prepared, getting the oil and spreading it generously through his fingers, his index finger going to the puckered hole, spreading the oil around, teasing him just enough to hear a little sigh coming from Alhaitham.
"I thought this thing was that you're supposed to fuck me or die, not tease me until I die ."
Kaveh bit his lip, trying to contain a smile, even about to be fucked Haitham couldn't keep himself from snarking at the architect, and he actually wouldn't want it any other way. Another way wouldn't be Alhaitham.
He penetrated Haitham with one finger, enjoying the tightness, imagining how it would feel around his dick. "Relax, this way you'll break my dick once I get inside of you."
Alhaitham listened, relaxing and Kaveh took the opportunity to insert a second finger, maybe he was going too fast but he felt as if he was losing himself to the drug in his system and he didn't want to hurt Haitham.
He continued to prepare his housemate to take him, fucking his fingers in and out of him, the oil already making the friction make a delicious noise filling the room. Once Kaveh got the third finger inside of him, Alhaitham let out a loud moan, already sounding fucked out and Kaveh ate that up, wanting to hear even more sounds like that coming from him.
He scissored his fingers, watching the way Alhaitham's hard cock twitched against his belly, letting out precum drip on his stomach.
Once Kaveh deemed Alhaitham fully prepared, he oiled up his cock, lining it to the scribe's hole, stopping when he remembered there was no protection with him. He didn't think he would be having sex today, especially not in the way was about to happen.
It was like Alhaitham could read on his face his thoughts, because he held his thighs, spreading himself further. "It's okay, you can do it."
Kaveh bit his tongue to the point where he tasted a little blood so he didn't just come right there and then.
Kaveh fucked inside of him, moving in one sure swift motion, both moaning loudly, Kaveh was pretty sure he more screamed than moaned. He wanted to hold himself back, but he couldn't anymore. He started to move, fucking Alhaitham with deep thrusts, that shook the bed, making it hit the wall.
He didn't hold himself back and Alhaitham seemed more than happy to take everything Kaveh gave him, moaning and throwing his head back, the line of his throat calling for Kaveh. He got down enough to lick and bite, still moving.
"More!" Alhaitham said between a whine, and that seemed to be it for Kaveh though, he came, so hard he felt like he passed out for a few seconds.
When he finally opened his eyes, the world was a little blurry, and Alhaitham looked a bit concerned. "You're okay?" Kaveh nodded, noticing a very important thing. He was still very much hard. And Alhaitham hasn't come yet.
Before the scribe could say anything else, Kaveh took his dick out, moving Alhaitham so he was on his hands and knees. He took a hold of his dick and penetrated Alhaitham again.
He heard a little surprised gasp coming from Haitham, and he was moving again, the mix of his cum that was beginning to slowly drip out of Haitham being shoved inside by each new powerful thrust made Kaveh feel elated and euphoric, and possessive. His mind was in a loop of "Alhaitham" and "he's mine." It didn't matter if he knew wasn't true, at the moment he was, with Kaveh's cock inside of him, begging for more and harder, he was all Kaveh's and he would kill anyone that tried to get Haitham away from him.
One of Kaveh's hands went to Alhaitham's hair, pulling it, the other around his waist, moving faster, needing to come again. The new angle made the head of his cock hit against Alhaitham's prostate with almost every stroke, from then on didn't take long for Alhaitham to give out a loud moan and come all over Tighnari's now ruined sheets.
Kaveh wasn't that far behind, coming once more, resting his head on the scribe's back, trying to catch his breath.
"You're still hard," Alhaitham said, he sounded fucked out, his voice sounding distant to Kaveh's ears. He was still hard.
Kaveh turned Alhaitham around again, facing him, the way his face was red, his eyes looked red-rimmed as if he'd cried a bit, he was heaving and he looked delectable. Kaveh wanted to eat him whole. He moved again, the head of his still hard cock against Haitham's puffy used hole.
"If you want me to stop, tell me now and I will," Kaveh said, as much as he still needed that, he needed more, and as much as his cock seemed to be ruling Kaveh's mind, he would stop in a heartbeat if Alhaitham told him so.
Alhaitham moved close, taking hold of Kaveh's cock and inserting it inside his asshole. "Keep going, as many times as you want, as many times you need you can have me."
Kaveh kissed him, as he moved again. And that wasn't the last time that night.
Kaveh woke up the next morning disoriented, dehydrated, and feeling like he was hit by a flock of Shaggy Sumpter Beasts. How was possible for every single part of his body to hurt so much? What the fuck had he done the night before?
"I'm never drinking again," he groaned to himself.
"It would be wiser to just not touch things you have no idea what they are though." A very familiar voice said next to him.
Kaveh opened his eyes, not even caring how the morning light made his head and eyes hurt even more, he looked to his right, seeing Alhaitham - a naked one - by his side. And then the previous night came back to him.
He had fucked Alhaitham each and every way, the whole damn night. He buried his head in his hands, moaning. What had he done? He had sex with the man he was in love with - he was a big boy and could admit that to himself, even if in his head, that was it.
"How are you feeling?" Alhaitham asked, ignoring Kaveh's existential crises. "Any side effects? Do you still feel aroused?"
"That's all you can think about?" Kaveh asked, taking his hands off his face to throw another look at his housemate, before immediately looking away. The way he was covered in bruises and bite marks was something he felt both proud of and terrified about, and both clashing thoughts made him sick.
"Well, yes, because if it's not out of your system we should continue where we left off."
"Can you even keep going?" Kaveh had to ask, if he was in that much pain, he could even imagine the state of Alhaitham's body.
"If you need me to, yes."
Kaveh shook his head, the fact Alhaitham was willing to sacrifice his body for him like that and continue even though he was sure would hurt, just made Kaveh feel even shittier.
"I'm sorry, Alhaitham, I'm so sorry," Kaveh said, biting his trembling lip, he wouldn't cry, at least not now.
"Why are you sorry? If it is because of your stupid decision of touching that flower, we already established it was a mistake, you don't have to say you're sorry. Tighnari knows that as well."
"It's not that!" Kaveh said, frustrated. "Well, not only that, yes, I'm sorry about that and must certainly learn my lesson but I'm sorry about what I have done to you, the fact you had to force yourself to sleep with me and must be in a lot of pain right now. I can never make this up to you."
Alhaitham was quiet for a few seconds. "I don't want you to make it up to me, yes, I'm very sore and expect you to take care of me because I will not be able to move for a couple of days, but I enjoyed it as much as you. I wanted it." Kaveh finally looked at Alhaitham's eyes, searching for pity, for lies, that he was only saying that so the architect didn't feel so bad.
"You… wanted it?" He asked, incredulous.
"I always wanted to do it with you. I couldn't bear the thought of you taking someone else other than not me, it was I offered in the first place," Alhaitham said in a small voice, barely above a whisper.
"Alhaitham…" Kaveh said, unsure of himself, approaching the scribe slowly, wondering if he meant what Kaveh think he meant.
"Do you mean…?"
"I think I already made myself very clear, now I'm starving and thirst, go get us something to eat and drink and check with Tighnari if everything is out of your system while I take a nap."
Alhaitham turned, and Kaveh looked at his back dumbfounded. "Hey, I'm exhausted too." Was all he could think to say.
"I don't care." That was the only response he got.
He continued to stare at Alhaitham's form, he thought the scribe had to feel asleep and was about to get up and search for his clothes when Alhaitham turned, moved, and kissed Kaveh's lips. It was all very fast, finished as soon as it began.
"Now go already, and don't take too long."
Kaveh knew they needed to talk about it, properly talk, but at the moment he smiled, so hard his face hurt. He got out of bed with newfound energy, already looking forward to coming back and hand-feeding Alhaitham, massaging him everywhere he felt sore, taking care of him, and doing whatever is that he wanted. Whatever is that he wanted, Kaveh would do, didn't matter what.
Whatever that fucking flower was, he was glad he was dumb enough to go ahead and touch it.
THE END.
