"Right now?" That definitely makes the flush drain from Kiron's face, and he immediately looks back to the tent.

"I... I shouldn't be that far from Master Starling. I don't want to be out of calling distance. I don't - I'm not sure this is a good idea. Perhaps I should go back--"

Reeve has always known exactly how to get under Poe's defences. And while usually that was a good thing - getting him to open up about his Father, for example, or making him actually address his grief when a mutual friend died - this time, all it does is impound the guilt already in him. His grip on a shirt tightens, his knuckles going white, staring down at the clothes rather than turning his head, because the implication alone is enough to stain the last few days, turning the pure and honest joy into something darker and tainted.

He'd known, somewhere in the back of his head, that it would end up that way. Drinks up your values like a sponge--

He felt very queasy, suddenly.

"He is a fucking exceptional human being," he replies, his voice a little tight as he tossed the shirt down onto the cot. "Don't fucking do this, man, I don't need it. Anything you could possibly give me shit about, I guarantee, I'm already giving myself shit for it."

Kiron glances back nervously at the tent again, before wringing his hands, nervously. There's a long pause while he obviously considers, but when he finally looks back to Owain, there's a sadness in his gaze that wasn't there before.

"Why is this... Why is this important to you? Why does my singing something mean anything to you?

~ * ~

"Anyone who wants to hurt him will have to go through me, first. And there's a lot worse things out there than dying for something I believe in, Reeve." He knew it wasn't something the man would want to hear, but that didn't make it less true. Poe had never considered his own life to be of primary importance.

At the last question, however, he pauses. His shoulders droop, heading bowing with a small sigh, before he finally turned to meet Reeve's gaze. He'd never been good at lying to the man.

Why start now.

"This would be a hell of a lot easier if I only liked him, Reeve."

The uncertainty doesn't leave Kiron's expression as he watches him quietly. But after a long moment it fades, a soft smile rising in its place.

"You are a... Very strange man," he murmured, thoughtfully. "But I... Will hum you a short song, as long as you never repeat it."

He paused, cleared his throat, and then began to hum a somber, quiet melody, barely loud enough for even Owain to make out.

~ * ~

He rubbed his face. Reeve was right. Owain would be fucked if he died-- "Fuck. Yeah. I'll- I'll think of something. I'll make sure that something is set up, in case anything happens to me. I don't-- I'm not going to fail him."

Then Reeve asks something that Poe had been so carefully avoiding saying aloud or putting into words, and it felt like something suddenly solidified in his chest, making it far harder to ignore. His mouth went a little dry and he turned his head. Fuck. Fuck, yeah, he was.

He doesn't smile, as the joke, barely reacts to the hug for the first few seconds, before sighing and slumping into it. "... Not something I feel I can... Really put on him. Everyrhing is already... Too much."

Kiron smiles, and for a few seconds it is too honest, too genuine. Then he seems to realise what he's doing and the smile is tempered back into something small, something careful. Something almost worried.

He rolls with the push, eyes falling to the ground.

"... That is Master Starling's favourite," he admits lowly. He looks back up, and the smile is softer, fonder. "I should probably - return to his side. He does not like me being gone for long, even when he requests it."

~ * ~

Poe gave a low snort. Take care of himself. Yeah. Like that was ever going to happen. 'Take care of yourself' tended to be code for 'stop taking risks'. And that wasn't something he was prepared to do.

Risks were where Victory lay.

Poe doesn't sit down when Reeve does. Instead he stands there, casting his eyes down to the floor, putting his hands on his hips. He can't meet Reeve's gaze while he talks. He feels a bit like an idiot - like he's the one who's eighteen and just finding his feet.

"... From less than a day after I met him," Poe mumbles to the floor. "I don't know. Fuck. Less than a week? Don't - I'm well aware how insane it sounds, alright, but it was like- like suddenly every other moment made sense, and it was all leading to that one. Like I've actually been there for half my life, just... waiting."

"I am very sorry, Master," Kiron murmurs, and he doesn't even have to raise his eyes to feel the dark energy ebbing from the other man as he immediately darts from Owain's side to return to Reeve's. He can feel the edges of Reeve's mood like an oncoming storm - the clouds beginning to roll in from over the water. His pulse picks up just a little faster. He knows to be prepared.

He doesn't look at Poe even though he wants to - the old animosity slowly turning personal. He hates when Poe puts Reeve in a bad mood. But he knows better to speak on it. Instead, he says, very quietly: "Should I prepare you a bath, master? They found a hot spring, yesterday."


Poe, on the other hand, like the lovesick idiot he was, lost all sense of anyone else even being in the room when Owain stepped back into it. He could see the pleased expression on Owian's face, so as he stepped over to him he grinned, wide and warm.

"Have fun?"

The question pulls Poe from his reverie- however reluctantly- and it takes far too long for the words to trickle through enough for him to understand what he was actually asked.

"Oh, uh- yeah. In a bit. A warm soak would put me the fuck to sleep, right now, and I have a lot of paperwork to catch up on." He glances back at Owain, clearly wanting to steal a kiss - but that, at least, he had the self awareness not to engage in. He turned to Reeve just as Kiron slipped out of the tent quickly and silently behind him.

"You got the last couple weeks of reports? They'll expect me to be caught up before the morning shift tomorrow."

He doesn't catch the men staring at each other, because the instant the satchel was pointed out, he was already walking over to it and pulling it open. He didn't even look back over his shoulder as Reeve left, though he did call out: "Catch up with you in a bit," before he heard the flap of the tent close.

Owain tugs on his sleeve and Poe turns, the grin coming unbeckoned to his lips despite the conversation he'd just had, the giddy rush too strong to be undermined by reality.

"Hey," he replies, helpfully, and Owain does not need to put voice to the request. Even if he wasn't pointing to his lips, Poe would be moving in closer, sliding a hand around the back of Owain's neck, and pulling him down it a kiss that was far too longing for being mere hours after the last one.

It happens very quickly, and Poe barely registers the fact that he's sitting before Owain is climbing into his lap. Then he registers everything - his body instantly becoming hyper aware of Owain's weight against him. He let out a low groan without even realising it, dropping his hands to grip Owain's hips, his own rolling upward just a little to grind against him. He'd honestly just wanted to kiss him, but it was like his body had a completely different idea of what to do with itself whenever Owain touched him.

His breath came faster, almost matching Owain's, and he wet his lips, suddenly parched.

It was, of course, a terrible idea. It wasn't a private space - people came in and out to make reports all the time. But fuck if every single cell in his body wasn't keening for it - lit on fire purely by magnetism and the prospect of having Owain in his arms again--

"... Yeah," he breathed, his voice a deep, husky rumble - the reports already completely forgotten. He could feel his heart beating out a sharp rhythm against his ribs. He swallowed, his hands already going for Owain's belt, entirely of their own volition. He had absolutely no ability to resist Owain, even if he chose to.

"... Yeah, I want... Damn, but I want you."

Poe doesn't laugh with him - though he does grin hard enough that it hurts - every single thing that Reeve had said to him mere minutes ago utterly gone from his mind. Every shadow banished in Owain's bright sunlight. He leans up into every kiss, trying to take each a little harder and a little deeper than they are given. He's already got Owain's belt free and is tossing it to the floor when he feels Owain freeze. That's when he hears the footsteps and he freezes too - his body going utterly still even while his heart decides to race faster.

He raises his hips in an effort to help, groaning lowly as Owain pulls his cock out into the chilled air, his blood running thick and hot enough to more than make up for it.

He's having a hard time thinking straight, but the sound of someone outside his tent did at least bring him a little bit back to reality. "... Desk," he breathes, and for a few seconds that's all he can get out, because he's sliding his hand into Owain's trousers, palm rubbing hard against the length of his trapped cock. "... then I -- fuck, I want way too much than either of us can do right now, but at least -- might not be painfully fucking obvious that I am going to fill your mouth with cum and then drink every drop of yours down, if someone accidentally walks in--"

His heart skips a couple beats when Owain stands - his figure cutting a perfect, if disheveled, silhouette, and in that split second Poe wishes he could stop time just to frame it. To keep that image of Owain forever. But then he is suddenly being pulled forward by his cock, barely having enough thought to grab the reports as they go, tossing them haphazardly onto the desk when Owain pushes him down into the chair.

It's not the greatest blow job in the world, objectively, but the way Poe reacts to it makes it very clear that he is over the moon with it. (Doesn't really matter, what those chilled lips are actually doing, as long as they belong to Owain.)

He laces his fingers into Owain's hair, finger nails scraping against his scalp, every obscene slurp making Poe's cock throb hotly.

"Fuck, Owain," he moans lowly, "You feel so--"

But he's cut off by the sound of heavy boots outside the tent, and only just managed to grab one of the reports and pretend to be reading it as the Runner opens the flap of the tent and steps in. Poe's hand in Owain's hair pushes down hard against his head to keep him under the table.

"Captain Dameron? I have the new shipping manifest from the last supply drop."

"Good, good." He set down the report and then held out his hand for the new one.

It's for the best that the runner's eyes are dragged away from Poe to his bag, because it means he misses the wy Poe's eyelashes flutter, the way his eyes slide shut as he does everything in his power from sliding himself deeper into Owain's throat. His whole body tenses, the hand in Owain's hair gripping sharply as a hot, desperate need washed over him.

His eyes glazed over a little, unable to focus on the unwitting audience, too destraxted by the fact that Owain was trying to kill him in the hottest way possible. He doesn't make a sound, though his lips part, sucking in a breath that is thankfully not quite loud enough for the runner to hear.

"Thanks," he said to the runner, his voice far huskier than normal as he took the offered sheets, and tried not to die. "Is that... Is that all...."

[personal profile] flightforfreedom 2018-02-24 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Poe wants to kill one of them. He's not sure which. Either he wants to kill the Runner, for being unable to shut the fuck up and leave, or he wants to kill Owain purely out of self defence. Because that's what it would be, at this point. Self defence from Owain trying to kill him.

He can't help but flick his eyes down toward Owain when the runner started rummaging through his pack, just in time to see Owain start stroking himself with his bandaged hand. He couldn't help it, he let out a groan, forcing his eyes away just to catch the runner looking up again with a furrowed brow.

"I have a headache," He snapped, a little too harshly. "Please just - continue."

However, it was 100% impossible to focus on anything other than Owain's mouth, or the way his trousers get dragged down and the cool air hits his thighs or the fact that he knows, right this fucking second, that Owain is getting himself right under Poe's desk and all he wants to do is yell at the runner to get the fuck out and then throw himself down on Owain and then either fuck him or be fucked by him and then do it the opposite way until they're both completely spent and who even gives a damn about Holdo or Reeve or anyone else they don't get it they've never got it --

His nails pierced the still-healing flesh of his injured palm, and that was enough to stave off the immediate orgasm that Owain's fingers sliding into him nearly caused, just in time to hear the runner asking for a pen. Fuck? Fucking --

"N-- Fuck, yes, fine, here--" He pulled one of the drawers open sharply and thrust the pen at the runner. "Is that it?" His voice is incredibly tight, a sudden rushing flush running under his skin as the runner babbles an apology, asking the Captain if he needs to have the medic fetched, and Poe manages to growl out a "No, I'm fine," despite the fact that he is starting to sweat quite visibly.

"I'll sleep it - sleep it off, now if you'll excuse me--" He points hard at the door and a very confused Private gives him another look before taking off, pen still in hand. As soon as the tent flap closed Poe slammed the chair back and nearly pounced on the man under his desk, grabbing Owain's cock with a fierce hunger and stroking him roughly, finding him already slick from his previous orgasm, and then kisses him hard.

"You trying to fucking kill me?" He accuses, but it's too good humoured to be angry. "If you don't fuck me right now, I swear to the gods--"
