Nyx and Hex
Days had passed and the initial shock ebbed. A shaky peace settled over the pod village as the survivors came together to secure their safety until rescue came. Hex had helped out in medical and he'd helped out scouting for food, he'd helped out putting the dwellings up. But when he was done feeling useful, he'd gladly adopted Nyx's habit of napping naked at any time of day.
He'd come home with some food, but had set it aside, stripped, and settled in the nest with the thought that when Nyx came home, they could eat together.
His last thought before his eyes drooped shut.

"Bravest," Nyx agreed with a little growl of approval. "No fear."
no subject
"I love that," Hex said, his laughter fading.
"You really are, yeah? No laughs. You really are the bravest person I know."
no subject
Nyx settled in, his head on Hex's chest and hand on his hip.
"I am," he agreed after a moment. "I'm the bravest person I know too. ...But you are the kindest," he said quietly.
no subject
Hex smiled brightly, his eyes alight with affection as he took hold of Nyx's face in both hands and kissed him tenderly.
no subject
Nyx purred excitedly into the kiss, always happy when Hex was willing to give him attention.
"You taste sweet," he whispered.
no subject
Hex shifted his hold and rolled a little, settling comfortably so he could enjoy Nyx's lips more.
no subject
Nyx kissed his lips, his nose, his jaw... Before settling in again and purring happily to himself.
"I want to play," he said, nipping at Hex's chest. "Do you want to play? Or should we be lazy and sleep until our stomachs growl?"
no subject
"Is it something I need to put on shoes for?"
no subject
"Most people like to play naked," Nyx grinned, rutting against Hex's thigh a little. "But we can do as you please."
no subject
Hex gasped and lifted to meet him as Nyx ground close. Fingers clutched at him as his cheeks flushed pink.
"I thought you meant...ball," he said, a bit weak and breathless.
no subject
"What is ball? Is it fun?" Nyx asked, kissing the other man's shoulder. "Is it fun?"
no subject

"Boring. Unless you're catching me," Nyx purred. "I run very fast though."
no subject
"I know you do," he smiled. "I'd try to catch you, though. I'd ctch you, and then I'd..."
He caught him and twisted, pinning him a little, easily broken, but he wasn't interested in holding Nyx at all. He only wanted to be able to suck kisses along his neck.
no subject
Nyx laughed brightly, a sharp contrast to his once aggressive and guarded behaviour.
"If you catch me though, you have to keep me," he warned.
no subject
"Ohhh, make no mistake...I'm keeping you forever," he promised, his voice soft and low as his kisses came slower and his hands squeezed him enough to make his point.
"You won't be rid of me easy, yeah? Swear," he promised.
no subject
"Good, because I will keep you too," Nyx purred. "You are mine now. My Hex mine."
no subject
"I like that. I like how that sounds," he said, his skin prickling all over with want.
He kissed nyx one more time, then moved back enough to look at him.
"I love you," he told him. "So much."
no subject
"Love is a heavy word for some," Nyx said. "I love you too though, you live in my heart now."
no subject
Hex took a breath, long and slow, and a smile began to spread.
"I love that you have to tell me. I don't feel you the way I feel others. It's...exciting. Unpredictable."
no subject
"Does it upset you?" Nyx asked curiously. He thought it might upset him to lose such a gift around someone.
no subject
"No," he answered. "Not a bit. I like it. Truly."
He paused for a moment, then looked away.
"It's not great, knowing what people feel."
no subject
"I would think it would make it easier to control them," Nyx said, tilting his head a bit.
no subject
"Not really. Not when you feel it, too. It takes years to learn to control it," he explained, taking the time while he spoke to trace lines on Nyx's skin.
"I spent my whole life learning how to keep people out. And you? Are effortless. You are so easy to be with."
no subject
Nyx purred a bit more, then gently tugged Hex down for a kiss. He felt safe with Hex in a way he'd forgotten he could.
