The first time

Riki remembers how he and Guy became pairing partners; Iason confronts Raoul in a delicate matter.




Riki woke up slowly and kissed Guy. He missed being home, even if this home was no more than a four walls room, poorly appointed, with a small shower and a so called kitchen, where only one person could stand up at one time. Guy shifted next to him and threw a possesive hand over Riki, dragging him under the blanket. Riki loved when Guy played the dominant male, yet it seemed that this only happened when Guy was half asleep, like right now. Guy had a somewhat shy nature when it came to Riki, and always treated him like he was about to break or something. Riki laughed at him and teased him, but Guy didn’t mind and didn’t change. That happened only when they were alone, in bed; when on the streets, they were the tough guys, and rarely showed soft signs of affection.



“We live in the slums”, Riki pondered. “You cannot show any kind of weakness here, and they will blast you off Ceres, or the surface of Amoi altogether. You have to show your badass face, or they will get rid of you.” But in this harsh world, he had Guy. While tracing Guy’s features with his long fingers, Riki let himself travel down the memory lane.



………………………………



It was cold, it was dark, and taking a nosedive into a pool of dirty water was no way to start the day. Especially when you are a five year old, and your gang is losing.

- Give up, you are beaten! The older boy held Riki with the face close to the water and pushed while the little kid struggled to remain above. But his arms were shaking violently and he felt like his heart was about to give up from frustration and humiliation.

- Let him go! A voice was heard, like coming from the above, and a strong hand shook Riki’s assailant, raising him from the ground. Riki felt instant relief and jumped on his feet.

Just in time to see his aggressor storming off screaming. A hand was held towards him, and when he rose, he saw a boy older than him, with kind eyes and long chestnut hair, held in a ponytail:

- Name’s Guy. Yours?



That was how they met. Guy was there at the right moment and saved his ass. And not only that time. He took Riki with him to the older boys’ dorm, just to keep an eye on him. He always took care of him. No one hurt him ever since.



A flash of earlier days… when they became pairing partners. Riki and Guy were working mostly as courier boys and they were setting the gang together.

One day, Riki was delivering a message to Jenko’s warehouse, by himself. Jeeko asked him:

- Where is that love sick puppy of yours?

- What do you mean? Riki sulked.

- I mean… that friend of yours, ponytail.

- Guy?

- Yeah, that’s the name.

- Why do you say he is love sick?

- Because he is crazy about your tight ass, that’s why, the guy snorted, all knowingly.

Riki widened his eyes, but he just didn’t know what to say.

- You’re quite oblivious, aren’t you, kid?

- I don’t know what you mean. Me and Guy, we are just friends.

- This friend of yours wants to fuck you, so, sorry for “breaking” it to you. Jeeko laughed and grabbed Riki’s ass playfully. Now, if you do not like him, and prefer an older bird…?

Riki struggled to get rid of the guy’s touch, but he was stronger, and Riki knew that a little gropping happened every now and then between males in the slums. So he stood still, until Jenko released him, but only after leaving a wet trail with his tongue on the boy’s neck. After that, he let Riki go with a short laugh, slapping his ass.

- Now, seriously, kid, you are some piece of ass, and ponytail really wants you. Make up your mind, don’t leave him like that, it’s cruel. If I was him, you were fucked really good by now. But he cares for you.

The guy seemed serious, all of a sudden, and he looked Riki directly in the eyes:

- True caring is rare, kid.



Riki left, with the man’s words ringing in his ears. Guy was always next to him. What was that all about? Guy? Love sick?



- Hey, Riki, Guy called while entering their room. What? Getting stunned so early in the day? Give me that!

Riki was slouched on their couch, with a bottle of stout in his hands. When Guy approached, he made up his mind. He stood up, grabbed Guy by the neck and kissed him hard, letting the bottle fall on the floor.

Guy was surprised with Riki’s sudden move and didn’t react at first. He was dreaming for this for so long, but Riki was dead drunk. Yet, Riki’s tongue was trying to reach inside his mouth, and his lips were so demanding, and Guy lost his head. He responded to the violent kiss, biting a little Riki’s lips, so he would open more his mouth, and entered, wishing for more.

Riki got away from the kiss, much for Guy’s disappointment but only to undress with a few rapid movements. All naked, he embraced Guy, and helped him out of his clothes, too. Guy tried to stop him:

- Riki, do you want this? Don’t play me, I cannot stand it!

- Yes, yes,… Riki whispered in a husky tone, and restarted the kissing, sweeping Guy off his feet.

Neither of him had much physical experience, and Riki was still a virgin. After undressing Guy, he stopped and said, almost laughing:

- I don’t know what to do.

Guy embraced him, touched by the realization that he was Riki’s first, and placed him gently on the sofa.

- I will enter slowly. I will not lie to you, it will hurt.

He lubricated his aroused dick with spit, and placed himself between Riki’s legs. He pushed a little, and, when Riki cried out, he stopped. But Riki pleaded:

- Go all the way, don’t hold back, Guy!

And Guy buried himself in Riki’s tight ass and groaned with exquisite pleasure. Riki was biting his lips, but he tried to remain silent, for Guy’s sake. Guy started moving inside him, slowly at first, but he just couldn’t hold it any longer, and he rammed in, with rapid movements, more and more… until he reached completion inside Riki. He withdrew, feeling guilty, and his eyes grew wide when he saw Riki’s contorted face. He grabbed his face, almost screaming:

- I’m sorry, Riki, I’m sorry!

- Shh, it’s ok, Riki caressed Guy’s hair. It was not so bad, being the first time and all…

They both fell asleep on the sofa. When Guy woke up, he dragged himself from Riki’s embrace, feeling like the last man on Amoi. Riki flew his eyes open:

- Hey, Guy.

Guy flinched from his touch. But Riki did not want to let the matter drop. So he just asked:

- Would want to be my pairing partner?

Guy wasn’t expecting to hear that. He looked at Riki, like he was a lunatic or something.

- Are you kidding? Are you still on stout?

Riki looked somewhat hurt.

- I drank because I knew it was going to hurt. But I made my decision before that. So, what’s your answer?

- Hell, yes. Guy embraced Riki and kissed him on the lips. It will get better with time, I promise.

So, Jeeko was right, after all. Riki felt sadness growing inside, and he held Guy close, so he could not see his eyes. “I will try to love you back as much as you love me”, Riki promised, inwardly.



………………………..



Guy woke up and smiled seeing Riki so close.

- Hey, Riki.

- Hey, Guy.

Riki moved over Guy and kissed him on the lips.

- Are you in the mood? Guy asked.

- If you are not too tired, Riki answered.

“I have to take that Blondie out of my head”, Riki stated to himself. He straddled Guy and began a long trail of kisses meant to bring Guy’s senses to life. His sudden passion worked his magic and soon Guy begged:

- Please, Riki.

Riki obliged and threw off his pants and let himself slide on Guy’s dick from above. He seemed somewhat loose, or it was just his imagination, remembering that huge Blondie dick ramming into him. The thought of his recent encounter made him moan.

- I have never seen you like this, Guy spoke through his own moans. Missed me?

- Yes, Guy, yes, Riki cried, but his heart sank realizing that he never had such passion when making love to Guy.

And now he was thinking about another man, while riding his pairing partner’s shaft, and no matter how good it felt physically, he knew deep down in his heart, that he was dirtied for good.

He climaxed against his own will, while imagining Blondie’s hands treating him roughly, and he took Guy with him. He let himself rest on Guy’s chest, that was still panting.

- I should get sick more often, Guy joked.

- No, you should not, Riki chided him.

And he really meant it. Outside, a storm broke loose.





In Tanagura, Iason enjoyed looking at the first drops of rain falling over the city of lights. He turned away from the window when he heard Raoul:

- Good evening, Iason.

- Good evening, Raoul, I looked forward to seeing you. Daryl, bring Lord Am a glass of wine.

With Raoul seated on a lavish armchair, with a glass of wine in his hand, Iason seemed to have a little difficulty in starting a conversation.

- Is there something wrong, Iason? I rarely see you so concerned.

- I have something to confess.

Raoul gestured with the glass, inviting Iason to talk.

- You are my best friend, Raoul. I feel the need to talk to you. I met someone.

- Someone…? What do you mean?

Raoul looked really concerned for his friend’s well being.

- A person that I took interest in personally.

- Where did you meet him?

- In Midas.

- Is this… personal, Iason?

- Yes, Raoul, very… personal.

Iason rose from the chair and start pacing the room.

- I took him Raoul… in a forbidden way.

Raoul stood still, feeling that something else was coming.

- He is a mongrel, Raoul, from Ceres.

Raoul gasped for air:

- Iason, he called in disbelief. What kind of madness are you getting yourself into? A mongrel? You… took him?

- Raoul, don’t judge me. You know well how we both indulged in such … activities.

- But, Iason, we were young… and we are both Blondies! Raoul was glasping his fingers on his glass, and the glass was starting to crack.

- You are my friend, and I need your help.

- Do you want… to get rid of him? You know that it will not be that easy, even if it is a mongrel.

- No, not that. I want him here, Iason sit down in an armchair, at my feet. Curled up like a good pet.

- You cannot be serious. Iason, this is crazy! This goes against every of Jupiter’s rules! How do you want to pull this off, without attracting her anger!?

- That is why I need your help. How about we two start a fad in Eos, by taking mongrels as pets?

- What?! It is not enough you got entangled in madness, you want me to do it, too?

- I understand if you don’t want, Raoul. I do.

- It’s not that, I did not tell you ‘no’ yet.

It was Raoul’s turn to pace the room.

- Iason, don’t you realize. These are unrefined wild creature, not meant to live here. Do you realize the scandal? And how am I supposed to get a mongrel?

- Mine has a boyfriend. Quite good looking, from what I’ve heard. We will see him together, and, if you don’t like him, we will search another. Mine is off limits, of course.

That made Raoul burst into a laughter.

- You are quite something, Iason. You summon me here, tell me a crazy story about how you took a mongrel off the streets, and now you are telling me I am not to touch your… whatever. Why would I want that?!

- So, what do you say?

- Let me think about it, Iason. This is very important. Rest assured that I will try to figure out a way to make you change your mind.

- Then, don’t mind it. I already made my mind.

- Iason, don’t be like that!

- I will see to it all by myself.

- I will not let you fall.

- Then don’t!

- You don’t let me save you!

- I asked you something.

- Then I will think about it. Just don’t do anything until I speak to you again.



Raoul just turned and left without another word. The storm was playing its long gutural sounds over Tanagura.
