[ Lucifer evidently doesn’t want to wait any longer either, his cock responding almost on cue, growing hard against Elio’s abdomen, the long, familiar length of it. Except if’s not just familiar anymore, it’s new and exciting, feeling heavier somehow, thicker and the skin charred the same way the rest of Lucifer’s body is, the surface of it uneven and intricate and Elio gasps into the other man’s mouth, arms tightening around his shoulders, as he gives him his tongue in turn. Pushes up against him, tongue and cock, his own tongue seeking deep into the cavity of Lucifer’s mouth, his taste an explosion, an embrace, a loving caress. He’s home, Elio realizes. Earth isn’t all that anymore. Maybe it never was.
That’s the blessing.
Whimpering, he lets himself be pulled close, closer, feeling Lucifer grind up against him eagerly, feeling their lengths slide along each other, the sensitive, bared head of his cock sending sparks of pleasure through his groin as the uneven skin of Lucifer’s cock rubs over it, again, again, again. No rhythm, no steady pace, just that initial need to touch and have and be, together. The soapy water eases the motion, the slippery slide that is making them both jerk against each other, Elio groaning into the kiss, nibbling at Lucifer’s lip, bottom one again, as he withdraws, panting harshly. Oh.
Oh, he’d forgotten exactly how much he was supposed to miss this. Him, Lucifer.
There have been offers in the meantime, what he’d once have called temptations and gotten his concepts mixed up by doing so, but Elio has waited, has wanted to wait on him, not like he did with Oliver, because Oliver was never going to come. Whereas Lucifer is, Lucifer definitely is going to come. He’s here. They are. Elio stares into his face, rutting against him repeatedly, his yellow-orange eyes, licking his swollen lips and breathing loudly, heavily. ]
Can I have you?
[ His voice is airy, Elio doesn’t try to change that, remembering Lucifer in this very bathroom, touching his asshole and asking if he could have him. Repeating those words back at him now, because they like to give and take equally between them. It’s all pleasure, after all, light. ]
Inside, I mean.
[ Trusting the other man to hold him up, Elio slides his hands around to his front, up his neck, face, cupping his face from both sides and holding him like that, tenderly. It doesn’t mean please, it means if you are comfortable, I’ll take you.
[ Oh, it's good. The sense of proximity is almost impossible to fully comprehend after such a long stretch of time by himself. And mind, it's not exactly about those thousand years - those are nothing, honestly, when you're here for the actual long run - rather, it's the expectation. The knowledge that he thought was real, that he'd be alone for not just a thousand years but then, another thousand and another thousand and onwards, onwards...
Elio doesn't seem to mind his... his anything, does he. Nope. He's definitely hard against him still, even with Lucifer's creepy, red appendage getting all up in his business and when he ruts against him, again and again, he looks into Lucifer's eyes like the fire and darkness doesn't bother him at all. It makes him forget himself in lieu of other things - of things like sitting with his scarred head against Elio's shoulder, lamenting himself and the brother he'd killed; of Elio plucking out the bullets from his wings and fucking him with the northern lights burning across the sky.
Of Elio, here, in Hell, the fluorescent greens blossoming beneath his feet.
Can I have you he asks, meaning, will you take me, even like this and for just a fraction of a second, he blanks out at the thought of it, staring at the other man, holding him close by the swell of his buttocks, their cocks pressed together along with the rest of them. Panic, lust, arousal, self-disgust - he flounders between them like he's been floundering ever since he realised that Elio was meant for Hell just the same as him, if not in the same way.
Accept it.
Accept it.
Accept it.
He breathes out slowly, red eyes boring into Elio's, the other man cupping his face with both hands, his palms shielding his view of anything beyond them, beyond now and here and you. Then, gently, he spreads the other man's buttocks apart beneath the water, letting the water lap at him, taking care not to poke him with his claws. Leaning in, he kisses Elio's jawline, then the very edge of his mouth. When he speaks, his voice sounds rough and full of air: ]
[ He feels the resistance, the same way Lucifer has fought against himself since the beginning, not against Elio, never against him. Neither does he take it personally, like everything about Lucifer, it’s the angelic part of him, no doubt, his confidence or lack of it manifests in a more literal way than for humans. When he dislikes himself, it shows, it seeps into his very skin. The beautiful thing is how he lets Elio see now, and more than see, too. Touch, hold, caress. Want. Once he’s done resisting and once he’s lost his own little battle of the minds, lust winning out in the end, because besides being an angel, Lucifer’s also the Devil, just look, Elio feels how he works his buttocks apart with his hands, careful with his claws, telling him - Oh. Yes. It’ll have to be that way, this time. Lucifer comes with talons, after all, it’s an easy way to keep people at bay. People, and the more internal workings of Elio’s asshole, too. The water laps at it, eating into him and he sighs as the other mam kisses his jaw, the corner of his mouth, making him turn after him, come here.
You can puncture me with your tongue, he thinks, catching Lucifer’s mouth and drawing his tongue out with his own, pushing back against nothing, saying nothing, knowing his palace will answer for him, much more eloquently and thoroughly than he ever could. Saying the words buttplugs and silicone-based lube just isn’t as sexy as those very same things appearing out of nowhere on the edge of the bath. He’s missed having things at hand like this. On Earth, you actually have to actively get up, right? He murmurs senselessly into Lucifer’s mouth, licking into him and easing down on his own two feet simultaneously, balancing with his hands on the other man’s shoulders now, come, I want you here, slowly backing up against the bench along the side of the pool, pulling Lucifer along. The Queen of Hell, all but dragging the King by his cock, really.
Lucifer has always put him in power, it’s his thing, theirs. Shared.
Elio pulls out of the kiss after a few seconds more, panting hard, his cock aching and his asshole feeling tight and anticipatory. Waiting. He’s good at that, in a couple thousand years, he’ll be a master. Looking Lucifer’s face over, he smiles and twists enough to grab the lube off the edge, unscrewing it and smearing his whole left hand in the stuff. Off to the side, but still within reach, with the tube and dips his hand below the surface of the water, trailing his fingers up Lucifer’s thigh, feeling the pronounced muscle there, groin, pelvis - He finally closes his fingers around the base of the other man’s cock, feeling out the girth of him, enormous, Elio has big hands but almost not big enough. His next breath is a stutter, as he glances down between them, every size queen particle of his being flatlining, heart failure. His cock jumps.
[ He leans into the kiss for as long as it lasts, filling up Elio's mouth, taking up space within him again and that's a lovely feeling, yes, oh, he's missed it. Following along senselessly as Elio draws back, towards the side of the pool, he raises his wings partially out of the water, wading after him, the sound of water droplets hitting the surface loud in the stillness around them. When Elio finally breaks the kiss, he very nearly whines in protest, stopping himself only because he's somewhat concerned as to how that would sound with his current vocal chords - like a tiny demon getting stomped on, possibly. Hateful. He pushes the thought away.
Which isn't all that hard to do, seeing as Elio proceeds to properly distract him by slicking up his hand (magic lube, oh, the wonders of Hell) and going not for his own body but for Lucifer's, his fingertips trailing up his thigh and groin until -- ]
Ah!
[ He shudders, staring down at the underwater spectacle. Elio's long fingers, wrapped around the base of his red cock and they look almost small in comparison, don't they. Pale. Always pale. The sensation is a bit odd, as if certain... bits of his bits, so the speak, are more sensitive than others. Same as the rest of this body, he's all in patches and whatnot. He meets Elio's eyes, shifting a little bit closer. His cock slides between Elio's fingers slightly at the movement and oh, oh, that's... oh. ]
You, you, err... [ He wets his lips and runs one, big hand over his bald head. ] You have to be a bit... rougher.
[ His wings curve a little behind him, inwards, until he gets purchase with the clawed tips on either side of Elio's body. They rest there like fingers, long and thick, the bone glistening from water. It disturbs him, of course, having to talk about this particular body like it needs anything but it also feels... well. It's just slightly strange that he knows so little about it. Hateful or not, it's still his, isn't it? ]
[ It takes a second, no longer than that, when you’ve handled as many cocks as Elio throughout his human existence, you have tried most of them, if not all. Not all, not this, not the heavy meat currently throbbing hotly between his fingers and Elio licks his lips, staring up at Lucifer’s face, his red, charred features, inhuman eyes, but the most familiar expression as he awkwardly runs a hand over his bald head, shifting closer to Elio while doing so, wings curving around him, holding himself against the edge of the pool. Rougher, he requests and Elio breathes out, long and hard, dropping his other hand to crotch-level, too, wrapping all ten fingers around him, encircling him more easily like that. The full girth of him.
The Devil’s cock is a whole trunk now. ]
Tell me how it feels, let me hear you.
[ Leaning his forehead against Lucifer’s shoulder, staring down between them now, Elio marvels at the structure of his skin, tightening his hands around him and going for a more insistent pace, something that gives a better glide, more friction, with the unevenness of his skin, sensations might feel different for him than in his human shape. Does it all sink in evenly? Does Elio have to differentiate, the veins are so pronounced he can feel them vividly against his palms and he pushes up against the underside harder, catching them on the upstroke. There’s a sense of first to it, like he’s doing this for the very first time and knows nothing, which he doesn’t and it is, right? Idly, feeling his own cock harden almost impossibly at the slick heaviness of Lucifer’s cock between his hands, Elio wonders if the other man has ever, in his eons of existence, done this before.
Can they for once, just once, be each other’s firsts?
Without him noticing, he’s broken into a pant, working his arms to stroke the other man more firmly, roughly, less care, more pure physical contact. On the third or fourth upstroke, he’s lost count already, busy considering the logistics of Lucifer’s bigger and wider than average cock in Elio’s ass when he needs it rougher, too, though it doesn’t exactly deter him, he’s invulnerable in Hell, they’ll be fine... And he spreads out his soaked fingers, more or less dragging his palm over the bared head of Lucifer’s cock, rubbing over the slit, also more pronounced, exactly as he was asked.
[ Elio, naturally, takes his word for it and adds his other hand to the immensely absurd task of hand-sexing the Devil's cock and Lucifer, meanwhile, stares down at the other man's hands, watching them go. Water splashes around Elio's wrists and he's certainly grabbing it, isn't it, oh, oh, the slit is - ]
Oh my --
[ He breaks off before it gets ugly, chewing on his lower lip instead and watching, enraptured, as the muscles in Elio's arms flex beneath his skin, his gaze focused like he's working through some new, technical and musical piece of wonder and that's just ridiculous, it's a cock, not a bloody sonata. Regardless, Lucifer's definitely the sole recipient right now of Elio's utmost concentration and he almost can't bear it, it should make them both feel awkward but instead...
Let me hear you, says Elio.
He swallows heavily another couple of times, hips jerking forward through the water, his cock sliding slickly back and forth between the other man's fingers. Then, however reluctantly, he allows himself to glide down, to be... there, in this (in his) hopeless, monstrous body and suddenly, the pleasure seemingly triples. He gasps. Had he truly been so removed from it, from himself? But of course, the ultimate proof of that came much, much earlier - possibly when he chose to listen to Grigori's tortured gasps for hundreds of years rather than killing him, possibly when he nearly set Maze aflame for asking one, innocent question ("shouldn't we check, Lucifer, in case the barrier will let me through? I could go see to him, I could make certain --").
Lucifer grabs onto Elio's waist for dear life, his claws digging into his skin a little less than gently, but oh - oh - oh - ]
It's - when you do that to the tip, oh, it's fucking beautiful. [ He shuts his eyes and lets his hips glide forward, a more forceful motion this time, Elio's firm grip making his balls sing. ] Just - the - the whole head feels crazy like this.
[ There's a note of wonder in his voice because when he really lets himself, he can admit that the notion of newness is appealing on many levels indeed. Knowing that Elio's getting this, possibly the only first he's got left in him. That he, in turn, gets Elio for it.
Also, let's be fair, Elio probably hasn't had a huge, red Devil cock shoved up his arse, either, so that's also... that. ]
[ At first, Lucifer just watches, stares the same way as Elio does, watching his hands move, water splashing, pale on fiery red, the whole show and it’s obscene and it’s wonderful, Elio loves it, loves the feel of unfamiliarity, a little bit of danger as always with the unknown and yet, the endless security of being this close to Lucifer of all people. Lucifer who would never harm him, not willingly, not on purpose. As the other man, Devil, with his Devil cock and his Devil hands, jerks into his grip carefully, still in control and that’s okay, love, he’s got you, he’s got you, he almost makes a whole scene of calling upon his father and Elio smiles, face feeling overheated and sweaty where he’s pressing against Lucifer’s shoulder. Yes, it means, tell me.
And Lucifer tells him, physically, grabbing onto his waist, both hands, hard, not minding his claws and they dig in, leaving angry red lines across Elio’s skin, scratch marks and Elio feels his balls draw up angrily. They’ll need to move on soon or he’s going to come first, disturb the flow, they’re getting there, they’re getting somewhere good. Oh. Lucifer starts thrusting harder, actually taking for himself and it’s beautiful. Elio draws back enough to look into his face, they’re close enough like this that he can angle himself, kiss his nose lightly. His lips, a peck, chaste. While he’s giving the first handjob ever to the actual Devil in his actual Devil form.
When you do that to the tip, Lucifer says, sounding like a porn, but when doesn’t he, sex on legs, like this, always. Elio lets one hand work the shaft, more even, slower strokes and with the other, he rubs his palm gradually slower across the bared head, circular, insistent motions, but fading, they have to... Elio needs... ]
I want it to feel as amazing for you as you look to me. [ So, he slowly stops stroking him, just a gradual pause of movement, letting Lucifer get used to the absence of stimuli again. Once he releases him, it’s reluctant and Elio feels a youthful urge to suck his fingers, lick his palms. ] When you push inside me for the first time. I’ll get ready now. Watch.
[ With that, Elio turns around in Lucifer’s grip, allowing his claws to drag across his skin, the sensation making him lose his breath effectively. He leans in over the edge of the pool, lazily smearing more lube onto his hands, fingers, watching it glisten in the light from above. His ass is sticking up through the surface, just rising over it slightly, buttocks, asshole. He spreads his legs. Wide. ]
[ Of course, Elio goes straight for the gold as soon as Lucifer tells him how to locate it. He rubs his palm over the naked head of his cock and this time, Lucifer does whine a little in his throat because oh, oh, it's good, it's probably more sensitive than his normal cock and his balls actually tighten at the feel of it, oh, it's - it's -
It's gone.
Blinking stupidly, he looks down as the stroking comes to a halt, though Elio's being nice about it (of course he is, sweet Elio), slowing down, releasing him only gradually. Oh. Yes, that's right, he promised he'd... yes. Lucifer shifts from one foot to the other beneath the water - it's the sex-glitch, when you go between positions or whatever, the moment when you're just sort of waiting around for your cue. Been there a million times and then some and normally, he wouldn't feel awkward about it but... Elio turns in his grip and he gasps, no longer from pleasure, at the sight of red lines tracking across his skin. Indents. His claws!
For a second, despite Elio telling him to watch, despite the man's arse being well and truly in his face like this, he can't see anything except those red lines, angry and harsh, though not wounds as such, not as such. They could've been, though, easily. But Elio's spreading his legs wide now and the lines move with the rest of his skin, his muscles, and he's baring himself, his arsehole looking wet and smooth between his buttocks. Focus well and truly split in two, Lucifer stares for a moment longer before he simply draws closer, close enough to lean in over Elio's back. He licks a long, wet line over the damage he's done, tasting skin and water. ]
Sorry about that. [ He runs his knuckles gently over Elio's balls between his thighs, feeling how tight they are, his cock out of reach against his abdomen. ] Good thing you didn't mind too much, huh?
[ Lucifer balances himself against the pool with the clawtips on his wings and bends down and in, nudging his face between Elio's half-spread buttocks and locking his lips around the rim of his arsehole. He puts one, big hand against Elio's waist, just to keep him bend forward a little, and presses the whole width of his tongue into him, tasting him as fully as he ever will.
[ The plan was simple: positioning himself, fingering himself for a while, add a plug, add a bigger plug, go. He gets as far as the first step, and maybe he should really applaud himself for that, what with Lucifer around, sex semi-deity, right, then the other man pulls him to a forcible halt, leaning in over him to lick at the marks he’s left, his saliva making a scratch or two sting, but otherwise it’s a nice sensation and even the stinging, Elio likes. It’s care. Someone taking responsibility and apologizing, even for harm he hasn’t inflicted. Yes, it’s nice. A deep breath and Elio folds his arms on the edge of the pool, chin on top of them and he glances backwards over one shoulder, shifting from foot to foot as Lucifer rubs at his balls, making them tighten even further. Oh.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Lucifer’s wings are balancing him against the edge of the pool, these heavy draperies of darkness and shade and Elio feels so protected by them, like s shield against the world, knowing Lucifer would and already has used them as such, for him. For him. About to reply something, please leave your marks on me whenever, he doesn’t get that far, however, because Lucifer dips in between his buttocks, locking his lips over the rim of his asshole like a sneak attack and he’s so fucking lucky that Elio doesn’t surprise-ejaculate. Instead he gasps, loudly, arching his whole back like a cat, sharp, round curve and presses back against the other man’s face, mouth, tongue, penetrating him as deep as it can go. He sucks, wetly and loudly and sloppily, drool running down Elio’s crack, pooling over his balls. There’s a split second where Elio can almost see the two of them like this, the red Devil bending him over with a soft, but big hand on his waist to keep him down and Elio, taking it, taking it taking it. He’s pretty sure there are Catholic wall paintings with that motif somewhere. ]
Fuck...
[ It’s the most he can manage, the pleasure is intense and centered squarely across the sensitive nerves of his asshole, his whole body is shaking from it. Elio gives himself over willingly, like he did to Lucifer’s claws and stretches out his arms in front of himself, creating the softest curve with his entire body. Then, he moans, loudly. I’m yours, it means, have me.
I love you.
I love you.
The final one becomes I love your mouth, use it on me, muttered hoarsely, because no one believes a love declaration during sex. Not even Elio. Especially not Elio. ]
[ Elio pushes back against his face, gasping loudly and arching his back beneath Lucifer's hand. His arsehole gets steadfastly wetter while he thrusts his tongue in as deep as it'll go, the other man furnace-hot inside, his taste dark and musky. After a small fuck, he feels Elio coming to a rest against the poolside, his back relaxing into it along with his muscles. He moans loudly, giving himself over using both his body and his words and Lucifer absolutely loves the way he does that, the way he makes it feel equal parts natural and extraordinary. To have, to be had.
Beautiful Elio.
Tilting his head sideways, Lucifer gives him another couple of deep thrusts, thinking that self-actualization ought to come with a quick-fix function, like, I require a forked tongue as of right now and there, bam! He pulls back, licking over Elio's rim instead, long, heavy strokes, feeling the sensitive muscle fluttering in response. He keeps at it until he can't bear it any longer, his cock hard enough to hurt. He kisses the soft skin on Elio's left buttock, licking a small line up to his tailbone before he straightens up in the water. ]
Anyway. [ Splosh goes the water as he steps back half a step. ] Weren't you in the middle of something?
[ He makes his voice a little extra-perky. He's just licked Elio's arse in full Devil-face and it was a lovely thing indeed, undoubtedly the best thing he's ever experienced whilst being tall, dark and ugly. He licks his lips a couple of times, grabbing a handful of water and sloshing it haphazardly over the lower part of his face, into his mouth, though he isn't being very careful about it - he'd rather like Elio's taste to linger, his scent as well.
To keep him for as long as he's allowed this time around. A thousand years, if the theory holds true. Predictably, his brother finds the theory likely - Lucifer himself has very little faith left. Preciously little. Trust his Dad to play the long game, to let them dream...
He'd taken a hit last time, when he'd thought Elio'd been lost to him. Implying he'd allowed himself to get vulnerable, right? He'd let himself believe.
This time around, he thinks and watches Elio through unblinking red eyes, he'll be wiser. ]
[ Maybe, by the end of it, as Lucifer keeps thrusting his tongue inside him, opening him up the natural way, it would be okay with just a small declaration of undying devotion, right? His asshole is singing it, at least, clenching wetly around the intrusion and Elio’s breath is saying it, stumbling out of him, uneven and fast and definitely affected. His cock is weeping, where it’s breaking through the surface, just the head, little droplets of precum gathering over the slit, in the water. Elio looks down at himself, how he’s melting, lava-like, beneath Lucifer’s tongue. His mind feels hazy.
Then, Lucifer stops and he knows, he knows, it’s only fair, they have an agenda, after all, multiple bullet points, but he still whines pathetically as the other man steps back, sloshes water onto his face to get the worst ass off of it and Elio is breathing funnily, turning around enough to look at him through wide, hungry eyes, fingers clenching by his sides. Will he really get another thousand years of this and after that, an eternity in intervals? He almost doesn’t dare to believe it, but if nothing else, daring was the one thing Elio always did, regardless of everything. Anything. ]
I let myself be distracted.
[ Before meeting Lucifer, such a long, long time ago in Los Angeles, it really feels like he’s lived several lives since then, maybe Elio would have said, you’re distracting me, but there are certain things you just can’t fault the Devil for and temptation is one of them. Don’t let yourself be distracted, Elio Perlman. Sure enough, he could’ve said no, it would no doubt have been respected, but he’d have been a fool and where’s the fun in that? Elio’s asshole feels more open and receptive for it. He raises an eyebrow at the other man, his faux-perky attitude, contradicted by his hard, hard, huge cock, and turns around again, bending over and letting his still slick fingers run past his balls to his crack, up, asshole, rim slick and pliant and he unceremoniously pushes two fingers in at once, spreading them to loosen the muscle further.
Almost conversationally, he says over one shoulder, only the slightest tremor in his voice: ]
I’d sometimes pray to you while jerking off, back in Italy. Just to feel closer to you. It’s probably not the intended way, but it worked. For me.
[ Let me talk to you, next time, it means. Next time, you won’t need to keep anybody out, least of all yourself.
Push, push, push go his fingers, making him pant slightly. ]
[ The look Elio gives him as he turns around is almost enough to make Lucifer give up on all plans of fucking him with his cock, the remnants of his taste on his tongue egging him on. Take him, open him up, eat him out until he spends himself in the water, just like that, coming apart at the seams. He manages to control himself, however, because he keeps thinking about how tight Elio felt around his tongue, how tight he'll feel around his cock, oh, yes. He can bloody well wait. He stands back on his heels, his wings coming off the poolside to rest in the water beside him.
Then, he watches.
Oh. ]
It's hard for me to hear down here.
[ He tilts his head sideways. Elio's working himself open with two fingers at once and the lube is making his skin look incredibly shiny. His arsehole is expanding gradually, just opening up around the intrusion. On a long, shaky exhalation, Lucifer drifts closer again and puts one, large hand on Elio's left buttock, pulling at it a little for an even better view. ]
Something with the barrier getting in the way or distorting things - I'm not quite sure. Well, obviously, this time around I wasn't listening very carefully but regardless.
[ He shifts closer, enough for his cock to rub up against the inside of Elio's soft thigh. He stays there, getting himself just a hint of friction because judging by the size of him and the size of Elio's pretty hole, this is going to take exactly as much time as it ought.
Gaze fixed on Elio's hand, he can feel his own breathing quickening in time with his. There's something precious about it, he thinks. About catching up to him like that - imagine what he's missed out on! Elio, jerking off! Praying to him all the while! No wonder everything's wilted down here. ]
[ Elio can feel him, can feel him drifting closer behind his back, watching him pleasuring himself, opening himself up, scissoring into his ass with two fingers, then three as he adds another, the stretch making him whine softly. It’s going to get better, of course. He has a very large cock to fit inside, he feels that too, the length of Lucifer pressing against his inner thigh, rubbing himself off slowly, nothing to worry about, the Devil has self-control in bed like no other. Well, that and basically no refractory period. Should anything happen before, Elio will just get five extra minutes to prep. He smiles, looks behind him with an obvious twist of his back, listening to the familiar voice of Lucifer, burned vocal chords and all. He still sounds like home. This was home before he left and this is the home to which he returns - like his mother’s summer house, just more cock and anal play. Fewer peaches.
They had their turn with peaches once. Elio’s smile softens. ]
I’ll come more loudly. Next time, okay?
[ And he adds a fourth finger, feeling the stretch getting evident, getting biting and sharp and delicious and he pushes into himself a few times, accidentally brushing his prostate on the last one, making himself shudder, moan. His free arm lies bent against the edge of the pool and Elio turns his head away from Lucifer now to press his forehead against the crook of his arm, eyes falling shut while he works himself, another thrust, another...
Has to be enough, right? He groans, loudly, pulling his fingers from his own ass with a wet pop and with the utmost focus straightens up, starts lubing up the smaller of the two buttplugs, hands smooth, fast, piano wrists. He remembers New York, suddenly, maybe because it has been such a long time without, no Lucifer, no togetherness, shared history, past, present, future. He remembers the buttplug the other man gave him and that he blocked himself out with while he watched. First leg of the night.
With a bite of his lip, he turns around, holds it out. ]
[ He chuckles distratedly at Elio's comment because the man's busy adding a fourth finger to the display and it's really quite a view from Lucifer's perspective, the way he's thrusting into himself, clearly getting his prostate at least once or twice with those long, nimble pianist fingers... Lucifer's considering maybe taking his hand and upping the pace, giving him a few pushes and make him go deeper and the thought makes his cock jerk in anticipation.
But then, Elio pulls his fingers out and starts lubing up the smaller buttplug and just like that, Lucifer and Lucifer's cock have other priorities. Groaning at the sight alone, he imagines the sight of that silver plug opening the other man up and keeping him stretched, shifting at the thought of it, rubbing the head of his cock against Elio's thigh. It's weeping at the tip and he's crossing his mental fingers quite feverently that it doesn't weep, what, molted lava or what have you. He resists an absurd urge to check.
Of course it doesn't. It's a cock, not a fissure in the Earth.
At Elio's request, he blinks, then grabs the plug from him maybe a bit too fast to be dignified. Sex isn't supposed to be dignified in any case; fun, dirty, crazy, pleasurable - all of those things, yes, but you're also meant to fall apart with it at least a little bit. Granted, Lucifer usually makes that happen for other people but then, well, then came Elio who can't be mojo'ed and who's apparently meant to rule in Hell along with him, who's currently asking him to put that magnificent plug up his magnificent arse.
So get with the programme, Devil.
Trying to breathe evenly, he parts Elio's buttocks again and presses the tip of the plug against his arsehole. ]
Come on, then, darling. Let me in.
[ He pushes the plug inwards slowly, feeling for resistance. Elio's stretched himself very nicely and the first couple of inches are easy enough - then, the plug widens by quite a bit. He pauses. Pushes in. Pauses. Twisting it back and forth a bit, he watches as it sinks into Elio past its widest point, his rim swallowing it up - until it's seated, the base resting snugly in his crack. ]
[ Lucifer's reaction is prompt and Elio smiles as he turns back around, spreading his legs more and showing himself off, feeling the other man's claws skirt over his buttocks as he parts them, pressing the buttplug, all business now, neither of them wants to wait any longer, against his puffed rim and Elio can feel how he's done at least a decent job on his asshole like this, it swallows up the first couple of inches, no problem. Then, it widens and Elio feels that, but more than that, he feels his balls draw up almost painfully as Lucifer tells him, come on, darling, let me in, because oh, oh, oh, does he want to, he wants to feel him, he wants to be closer to him than to his own soul.
Actually, he isn't sure that isn't already the case.
Meanwhile, the Devil shows absolutely no intention of holding back, pushing into him a little bit, pause to let him get used to the sensation, Elio's breath shattered and uneven, pieces of air escaping at undeterminable intervals, his fingers tight and tense where they're gripping the edge of the pool hard, keeping himself balanced and bent over. And Elio works with him, because that's what Elio does, of course, works with the Devil, fucks the Devil, loves the Devil, rules Hell with the Devil. He breathes in deeply, letting his rim widen around the intrusion, feeling it work itself inside more, and more, and more until Lucifer has managed to push it all the way in, the flaring base keeping it seated in him, all width and girth and pressure against his prostate, so his legs start shaking and he isn't panting, but gasping.
He allows himself a moment to just enjoy the intense feeling of full. Knowing he'll be much more full in a moment, in not so very long, right? Oh.
Then, the moment is over and he can't wait to move on. He remembers wanting Lucifer so much those months before they first fucked, remembers yearning and craving and lusting. And he remembers being patient and he remembers denying himself and he remembers. They've come so far since then, he doesn't have to deny himself anything anymore, they've made their choices, they were good ones, too.
Besides, lust is something else entirely, when he has to just close his thighs a little bit to catch one huge Devil cock between them.
Oh. ]
Please. Fuck me with it. [ Please, again, always with the pleases. ] Please, I want it to be you, Lucifer.
[ And patience, too, has taken on a somewhat different meaning when you're part of the cosmic order and co-rule a whole dimension with its King whom you've had to live without for months and the world is none the wiser for it and you will have to carry that longing by yourself forever, Elio knows.
[ He pulls the plug out to its widest point and pushes it back inside Elio, fucking him with it, though he's well aware (painfully so, oh, his poor cock) that the other man isn't asking for that. He looks down at himself, the water shimmering around his thighs. The head of his cock pokes up above the surface, looking red and grotesque and he glances towards the larger plug, wondering if he shouldn't - if just to be safe...
But then, he hears Elio's words on repeat in his mind - I want it to be you and he imagines him by himself for six months, making do, his prayers unheard and unanswered. Elio has been left too many times in his life, Lucifer's well aware. He's left him too, left him waiting and wanting with nothing but himself for comfort. The thought makes his chest ache. Eying the plug and the way Elio's stretched around it, his rim looking whole and glittering from lube, he finally works it out and leaves it on the edge of the pool.
Then, he grabs the lube and properly ruins it with his claws but who cares, out it comes, slick and glossy against his palm. He reaches for himself and wonders briefly at the feel of it, this strange cock that feels somehow exactly as natural between his fingers as the one he's used to. ]
Let me know if it's too much.
[ He tries to keep his voice even as he says it, his balls painfully tight from anticipation and his breath stumbling down his throat when he breathes. Stepping up behind Elio, he presses his cock between his buttocks, parting them and rubbing the head and the shaft against his crack and arsehole slowly. Feeling him. Oh. Oh, he doesn't want to hurt him. He so, so doesn't want to.
Pressing the head of his cock against Elio's opening, he takes a deep breath, steels himself - and pushes inwards, the massive girth of the head forcing the other man open much farther than the plug. He makes himself go slow with what has to be Herculean effort at this point, letting Elio's body set the pace. His wings, meanwhile, fold down on either side of them, dripping water into Elio's hair as they bend inwards protectively and he realises only then, very distantly, that they look sturdy like this, spikes and all, like a small fortress all in themselves.
[ Because Lucifer is kind and caring and amazing and wonderful, all at once, and why does no one give the Devil credit where credit is due, he starts fucking Elio with the buttplug first, widening his rim more and opening him up to a point where it has to be possible, surely. Lucifer probably thinks so, too, because another couple of shallow thrusts of the plug and he pulls it out (carefully), discarding it on the edge of the pool. Elio shifts his weight from one knee on the bench to the other, gasping low in his throat at the feeling of being wide open like this, trying to calm his breathing while the Devil all but slices open the lube to slick himself up. Elio watches, the uneven skin structure, the enormous girth, the head that looks the size of a small size melon, big size cock, yes. The beautiful color of him, darker now, almost burgundy, well-rested wine. Finally, Elio just leans in on his elbows on the edge, folding his arms again in front of himself, forcing himself to relax.
It’s just Lucifer. Beautiful Lucifer. Bigger than life Lucifer.
Lucifer who steps up behind him, letting him know to tell him if it’s too much, because he’s so incredibly good, pushing the massive head of his cock in between his buttocks, letting him feel the volume of it, the pressure, the structure, uneven, thicker skin that rubs at him in a way he can’t even describe properly, like feeling every little nerve ending at once, before finally beginning to push inwards.
Elio’s eyes actually roll up into his head, it’s that big. Oh. Fuck. Yes. The way it rubs over his rim, seats itself inside him, the head blowing him open beyond everything and it’s fortunate that Elio was never averse to openness, that he opens himself gladly, gives gladly. Yes. But he can’t say anything, fingers just tightening around his own forearms until he’s leaving marks, his breathing stuttering out of him, one, two, you have to control it, you have to... Oh.
He groans. It’s in a deeper voice than his normal register, like all sound in him is getting squashed into vibrations and nothing more. Out the corner of his eye, he sees Lucifer’s huge bat wings fold around him and he slowly, properly panting, turns his head to look, to see them rise around him like walls of a fortress and it makes him feel like a princess, walled up with a dragon, pretty much. It’s the most curious, wondrous thing. Wondrous, and dripping soapy water into his hair.
To help Lucifer along, he relaxes as he best can, blinking once, twice, exhaling long and forcibly to open himself up. Like a gift.
[ He sinks in inch by inch and Elio's body gives around him, gives and gives and gives until he can't actually believe that it doesn't come to a grinding, screeching halt, that the other man doesn't tell him enough, make it stop. In general he's always been too much to handle, Lucifer, even the big guy in the sky thought as much and yet, here's Elio, taking him in, settling in Hell so they can be together, following the calls from souls, stuck in their own, boring despair and doing so with a smile on his face. Imagine that such a person can exist.
Imagine.
Elio's pushing back against him, gasping and groaning and clearly taking a cock the size of a small baseball bat up his arse but oh, he's handling it isn't he, he's doing it. Lucifer, meanwhile, is chewing on his own bottom lip something fierce, forcing himself to hold back, to take it slow. Inch by inch. Oh. Oh, it's good, it's - ]
That's because -- [ He groans. The head of his cock pops inside and Elio's so warm, so tight and soft around him. It's pure insanity. ] -- oh - that's because you're you. You're so utterly you.
[ With a long, outdrawn slide, he buries himself to the base in Elio's arse, his cock stretching him open, going no deeper than usual but taking up a lot more space, definitely, by virtue of being wide as, well, Hell. Sorry. He's breathing hard now, panting, his muscles trembling from holding back, but he stays still, letting Elio get used to the sensation of it. He's gripping his own forearms hard enough to bruise and Lucifer leans in over him, then, folding one, clawed hand over Elio's forearms, both of them at once, along with his fingers. He holds him there gently, breathing into his hair, his scarred chest pressing in against his back.
Like that, he stays still, just breathing, feeling the other man breathing in turn, his body warm and tight around him. It's been so long. Oh, it's been nearly forever. ]
[ When the head pops inside, Elio is momentarily distracted from the burn of pain because Lucifer tells him you’re so utterly you and it makes his chest burn just as hard as his ass does, his breathing uneven and shallow as he settles with the harsh sting. Once the other man starts moving again, pushing all the way inside of him, feeling strange and familiar at the same time, he gets more caught up in the sensation of his cock, feeling ribbed and curious and amazing. He’s rubbing over the inside of him, dragging over his rim (oh) and brushing past his prostate, pushing against it by virtue of being wide as a bat (ooooh) and Elio can’t shake it, the deep undercurrent of pleasure/pain that makes his balls draw up and once Lucifer starts to move, once he starts just skirting his prostate, he’s going to come, he can tell. Elio whimpers, tries not to move around too much until Lucifer’s all the way in, then he flexes his fingers. Just to do something. The other man isn’t moving, just stays where he is, so close, heat radiating off of him as he leans in, folding one hand, huge, red, over Elio’s forearm, his hand, claws like bars and wings like a tent. He’s protected here. Elio’s safe.
Since Oliver, he’s never been safe anywhere. Not even with himself. Least of all there.
His eyes well up, so he closes them. Talks to the darkness, Hell’s like that, it’s all of Lucifer’s depths. ]
You feel amazing. So full.
[ A little shaky. A little wet. He turns his head enough to sense Lucifer’s red silhouette out the corner of his eye. They’re so close it would be intolerable, if being less close than this wouldn’t be even more intolerable. Elio would tighten his rim around him, if he could, but he’s blocked so wide, he can’t even control his own muscles, they just feel strung beyond themselves. ]
Will you take me now?
[ What Elio wants to say as he turns his hand over, interlacing his fingers with Lucifer’s long, red ones is this: I want to come with you and I’m so close already, get us there, but it’s too many words and his voice is small, thin, airy. His ass is full and blocked and he hurts, but in the most beautiful way and he wants to hurt more, more beautiful, more amazing.
[ Elio sounds like his voice might break, telling him that he feels amazing, meaning those are complicated tears, hiding in his throat. It's not just Lucifer, the pain echoing beneath the words. It's all the rest, the fall, because Elio's fallen hard in his life. The peach garden behind his parents' house had been beautiful, yes, but overwhelming in its simplicity. With a messy life full of messy relations and feelings, how are you ever going to live up to the notion of Eden? You can't. You can't.
Lucifer knows.
So he tightens his hand around Elio's arms and pulls out slowly, his cock dragging along Elio's inner walls and keeping him wide open around its girth. He pulls out about halfway, then pushes back in, keeping the pace slow still, trying - hoping - not to hurt him. He probably is, though, regardless. Sometimes, hurt can't be avoided but Elio would know better than most. ]
Oh. Oh, this is - you're magnificent --
[ He pulls back out, thrusts in. The pleasure around his cock feels electric, sparks shooting into his groin at the friction. He definitely isn't going to last as long as usual which is yet another novelty. Groaning loudly, his voice guttural and loud enough to make the walls tremble around them, Lucifer starts thrusting more evenly, closer to a pace, his lower body screaming at him to move faster, to go deeper but he takes care of Elio, he takes care and he doesn't rush.
His wings have sort of cocooned around them at this point, one of the spikes getting itself entangled in Elio's curls. Holding on, he thinks, absurdly, but then again, a wing is a bit like a hand, isn't it? His Devil wings more so than the feathered alternatives. Snapping his hips forward, he buries himself to the hilt with just a hint of forcefulness and there, oh, pleasure shooting down his shaft and into his balls, fast and hot. He moans and repeats the motion, feeling Elio's small body shake beneath him.
Reaching into the water carefully, he folds his free hand around the other man's hard cock, letting it slide forwards between his fingers at his next thrust. He can feel his claws scraping against Elio's abdomen and curves them slightly, adjusting. He's starting to learn how to be aware in this form and the thought feels equal parts scary and exhilarating. ]
[ Then comes the pulling out, pushing in, slowly building up. Elio can feel that Lucifer's careful, doesn't rush, though he's probably dying to, he needs it rougher, right? Elio lets himself feel it, how someone's taking care with him, something that has happened so rarely in his life, Oliver, his parents, no one's ever really wanted him to hurt as little as possible. Feel the pain, his father had said, back then, so Elio does, now, lets himself linger in the sharp, hard stretch of Lucifer's cock inside, along with the softer, intense feeling of friction and ribbed skin rubbing against him in all the perfect places. Oh. Oh, that's so nice.
You're magnificent, Lucifer tells him and Elio thinks, he feels magnificent like this, just like this. He feels empowered and protected at the same time, like he could definitely protect himself, but Lucifer is making sure that he doesn't have to. Never again. It's probably Elio's favorite feeling in the whole world, being small, but being in control regardless. It's the way Lucifer takes his time, although they're both aching to go, letting Elio's body catch up. It's the way his wings cocoon around him, closing him off from the world and ready to take the impact, should anything happen and things will always happen.
Like Lucifer will always be there. The first lover Elio's had who won't leave him in any unnatural fashion. Immortal beings, that's the deal. Even if Elio's immortal, too, now, Lucifer has been here for longer than he's even existed and he'll no doubt outlive him on the other side. God's favorite. Elio feels blessed, but of course - so he is.
Then comes the snapping of hips, things speeding up exponentially, Lucifer's hips working against him, slapping against his buttocks and he's massive and hard and amazing inside him and Elio whimpers, feeling his cock jump against his abdomen, his entire body shaking beneath each movement, his torso sliding over the edge of the pool as he's repeatedly pushed forward over his arms. His prostate is taking the brunt of the thrusts now and he's feeling a bit hazy from it, a bit far from himself, yet squarely centered in his body and Elio cries out at a particular good angle, leaning his head down and burying his face at Lucifer's arm, the scent of him, every part of him, so strong.
Tears escape the corners of his eyes.
He can't even think to begin working his own cock, but fortunately, Lucifer's a very giving sort of lover, so he does it for him, with his free hand, clawed and huge, he encircles Elio's cock, letting each thrust push him forward into the loose circle of it and just that, just that extra friction makes Elio see stars and dark edges around his vision. He moans, thrusts forward, the motion pushing him back onto Lucifer's cock at the same time, spearing him, simultaneously and he can't... oh... he can't hold back anymore, he can't even attempt it. His ass clenches around the massive girth in him and he sobs harshly, prostate again, muttering Lucifer's name before he finally comes. Finally, finally, it's been such a long wait, so long.
Whining softly, almost with no air left, his hips snap forward too, and the forward/back motion is leaving him at once touched and fucked and taken and cared for and it all bleeds together, his whole body trembling violently as he spends himself between Lucifer's fingers, clawed, though he's arranged himself so they don't scrape over skin, he's wonderful, just wonderful... ]
I love you. [ It's a breathless whisper. ] Don't stop.
[ The different impressions start to blur together as he fucks Elio, burying himself as deeply as he can, pulling out only partially and going straight back inside. Elio's whimpering beneath him, crying out when he manages to hit something particularly nice and he's got him here, he's got Elio, protected and safe, even with Lucifer at his absolute worst, locked in this despicable form. The heat in his belly keeps building and building, his balls tightening up between his thighs and then, yes, Elio's climaxing around him, spending himself in the water and shaking like a leaf. He sounds breathless. He sounds like there's not enough air to keep him going.
Then he says -
And Lucifer comes. Hard, so hard that his vision goes black for a second, his hips freezing at the next forward-thrust. He's seated to the hilt in Elio's arse, his hand still clenched around the other man's forearms and his other holding his spent cock gently beneath the water. He can feel him everywhere, it seems, from the way he's clenched around his cock to the smell of his hair, of his body. He breathes in deep, letting his climax wash through him.
Then, pause.
I love you.
He thinks it, too, and he shapes the words with his lips against the back of Elio's head, soundless still, because he's afraid of what it might feel like to say it out loud. He doesn't. He can't. He can't break whatever this is, they're already in Hell, he's done enough surely, when it comes to these matters, there are no second chances. Lucifer folds his wings closer around the other man, his body heating up slowly, as if someone's turned on a switch somewhere and that's pretty curious, like, is that an orgasm-thing or a Devil thing or just flat-out ridiculous? Muscles rippling along his back, into his arms and wings, he folds both arms around Elio's front, one hand flat over his cock and crotch, the other over his heart. Then, smoothly, he takes them both out of the water, sliding sideways onto the floor next to the pool and folding his wings around the other man just to keep him exactly as close as possible, his cock still buried in him.
He nuzzles the back of his neck, breathing hot air onto his skin, his earlobe and into his hair.
Around them, his wings are no longer featherless. The feathers remain red and burned-looking, orange and gold, weirdly nice-looking considering the rest of the package but apparently, that's how it is now.

That’s the blessing.
Whimpering, he lets himself be pulled close, closer, feeling Lucifer grind up against him eagerly, feeling their lengths slide along each other, the sensitive, bared head of his cock sending sparks of pleasure through his groin as the uneven skin of Lucifer’s cock rubs over it, again, again, again. No rhythm, no steady pace, just that initial need to touch and have and be, together. The soapy water eases the motion, the slippery slide that is making them both jerk against each other, Elio groaning into the kiss, nibbling at Lucifer’s lip, bottom one again, as he withdraws, panting harshly. Oh.
Oh, he’d forgotten exactly how much he was supposed to miss this. Him, Lucifer.
There have been offers in the meantime, what he’d once have called temptations and gotten his concepts mixed up by doing so, but Elio has waited, has wanted to wait on him, not like he did with Oliver, because Oliver was never going to come. Whereas Lucifer is, Lucifer definitely is going to come. He’s here. They are. Elio stares into his face, rutting against him repeatedly, his yellow-orange eyes, licking his swollen lips and breathing loudly, heavily. ]
Can I have you?
[ His voice is airy, Elio doesn’t try to change that, remembering Lucifer in this very bathroom, touching his asshole and asking if he could have him. Repeating those words back at him now, because they like to give and take equally between them. It’s all pleasure, after all, light. ]
Inside, I mean.
[ Trusting the other man to hold him up, Elio slides his hands around to his front, up his neck, face, cupping his face from both sides and holding him like that, tenderly. It doesn’t mean please, it means if you are comfortable, I’ll take you.
If Lucifer’s comfortable, Elio will be, too. ]
no subject
Elio doesn't seem to mind his... his anything, does he. Nope. He's definitely hard against him still, even with Lucifer's creepy, red appendage getting all up in his business and when he ruts against him, again and again, he looks into Lucifer's eyes like the fire and darkness doesn't bother him at all. It makes him forget himself in lieu of other things - of things like sitting with his scarred head against Elio's shoulder, lamenting himself and the brother he'd killed; of Elio plucking out the bullets from his wings and fucking him with the northern lights burning across the sky.
Of Elio, here, in Hell, the fluorescent greens blossoming beneath his feet.
Can I have you he asks, meaning, will you take me, even like this and for just a fraction of a second, he blanks out at the thought of it, staring at the other man, holding him close by the swell of his buttocks, their cocks pressed together along with the rest of them. Panic, lust, arousal, self-disgust - he flounders between them like he's been floundering ever since he realised that Elio was meant for Hell just the same as him, if not in the same way.
Accept it.
Accept it.
Accept it.
He breathes out slowly, red eyes boring into Elio's, the other man cupping his face with both hands, his palms shielding his view of anything beyond them, beyond now and here and you. Then, gently, he spreads the other man's buttocks apart beneath the water, letting the water lap at him, taking care not to poke him with his claws. Leaning in, he kisses Elio's jawline, then the very edge of his mouth. When he speaks, his voice sounds rough and full of air: ]
Get yourself ready.
no subject
You can puncture me with your tongue, he thinks, catching Lucifer’s mouth and drawing his tongue out with his own, pushing back against nothing, saying nothing, knowing his palace will answer for him, much more eloquently and thoroughly than he ever could. Saying the words buttplugs and silicone-based lube just isn’t as sexy as those very same things appearing out of nowhere on the edge of the bath. He’s missed having things at hand like this. On Earth, you actually have to actively get up, right? He murmurs senselessly into Lucifer’s mouth, licking into him and easing down on his own two feet simultaneously, balancing with his hands on the other man’s shoulders now, come, I want you here, slowly backing up against the bench along the side of the pool, pulling Lucifer along. The Queen of Hell, all but dragging the King by his cock, really.
Lucifer has always put him in power, it’s his thing, theirs. Shared.
Elio pulls out of the kiss after a few seconds more, panting hard, his cock aching and his asshole feeling tight and anticipatory. Waiting. He’s good at that, in a couple thousand years, he’ll be a master. Looking Lucifer’s face over, he smiles and twists enough to grab the lube off the edge, unscrewing it and smearing his whole left hand in the stuff. Off to the side, but still within reach, with the tube and dips his hand below the surface of the water, trailing his fingers up Lucifer’s thigh, feeling the pronounced muscle there, groin, pelvis - He finally closes his fingers around the base of the other man’s cock, feeling out the girth of him, enormous, Elio has big hands but almost not big enough. His next breath is a stutter, as he glances down between them, every size queen particle of his being flatlining, heart failure. His cock jumps.
Slowly, he looks back up. ]
Us both. I’ll get us both ready.
no subject
Which isn't all that hard to do, seeing as Elio proceeds to properly distract him by slicking up his hand (magic lube, oh, the wonders of Hell) and going not for his own body but for Lucifer's, his fingertips trailing up his thigh and groin until -- ]
Ah!
[ He shudders, staring down at the underwater spectacle. Elio's long fingers, wrapped around the base of his red cock and they look almost small in comparison, don't they. Pale. Always pale. The sensation is a bit odd, as if certain... bits of his bits, so the speak, are more sensitive than others. Same as the rest of this body, he's all in patches and whatnot. He meets Elio's eyes, shifting a little bit closer. His cock slides between Elio's fingers slightly at the movement and oh, oh, that's... oh. ]
You, you, err... [ He wets his lips and runs one, big hand over his bald head. ] You have to be a bit... rougher.
[ His wings curve a little behind him, inwards, until he gets purchase with the clawed tips on either side of Elio's body. They rest there like fingers, long and thick, the bone glistening from water. It disturbs him, of course, having to talk about this particular body like it needs anything but it also feels... well. It's just slightly strange that he knows so little about it. Hateful or not, it's still his, isn't it? ]
no subject
The Devil’s cock is a whole trunk now. ]
Tell me how it feels, let me hear you.
[ Leaning his forehead against Lucifer’s shoulder, staring down between them now, Elio marvels at the structure of his skin, tightening his hands around him and going for a more insistent pace, something that gives a better glide, more friction, with the unevenness of his skin, sensations might feel different for him than in his human shape. Does it all sink in evenly? Does Elio have to differentiate, the veins are so pronounced he can feel them vividly against his palms and he pushes up against the underside harder, catching them on the upstroke. There’s a sense of first to it, like he’s doing this for the very first time and knows nothing, which he doesn’t and it is, right? Idly, feeling his own cock harden almost impossibly at the slick heaviness of Lucifer’s cock between his hands, Elio wonders if the other man has ever, in his eons of existence, done this before.
Can they for once, just once, be each other’s firsts?
Without him noticing, he’s broken into a pant, working his arms to stroke the other man more firmly, roughly, less care, more pure physical contact. On the third or fourth upstroke, he’s lost count already, busy considering the logistics of Lucifer’s bigger and wider than average cock in Elio’s ass when he needs it rougher, too, though it doesn’t exactly deter him, he’s invulnerable in Hell, they’ll be fine... And he spreads out his soaked fingers, more or less dragging his palm over the bared head of Lucifer’s cock, rubbing over the slit, also more pronounced, exactly as he was asked.
Roughly. ]
no subject
Oh my --
[ He breaks off before it gets ugly, chewing on his lower lip instead and watching, enraptured, as the muscles in Elio's arms flex beneath his skin, his gaze focused like he's working through some new, technical and musical piece of wonder and that's just ridiculous, it's a cock, not a bloody sonata. Regardless, Lucifer's definitely the sole recipient right now of Elio's utmost concentration and he almost can't bear it, it should make them both feel awkward but instead...
Let me hear you, says Elio.
He swallows heavily another couple of times, hips jerking forward through the water, his cock sliding slickly back and forth between the other man's fingers. Then, however reluctantly, he allows himself to glide down, to be... there, in this (in his) hopeless, monstrous body and suddenly, the pleasure seemingly triples. He gasps. Had he truly been so removed from it, from himself? But of course, the ultimate proof of that came much, much earlier - possibly when he chose to listen to Grigori's tortured gasps for hundreds of years rather than killing him, possibly when he nearly set Maze aflame for asking one, innocent question ("shouldn't we check, Lucifer, in case the barrier will let me through? I could go see to him, I could make certain --").
Lucifer grabs onto Elio's waist for dear life, his claws digging into his skin a little less than gently, but oh - oh - oh - ]
It's - when you do that to the tip, oh, it's fucking beautiful. [ He shuts his eyes and lets his hips glide forward, a more forceful motion this time, Elio's firm grip making his balls sing. ] Just - the - the whole head feels crazy like this.
[ There's a note of wonder in his voice because when he really lets himself, he can admit that the notion of newness is appealing on many levels indeed. Knowing that Elio's getting this, possibly the only first he's got left in him. That he, in turn, gets Elio for it.
Also, let's be fair, Elio probably hasn't had a huge, red Devil cock shoved up his arse, either, so that's also... that. ]
no subject
And Lucifer tells him, physically, grabbing onto his waist, both hands, hard, not minding his claws and they dig in, leaving angry red lines across Elio’s skin, scratch marks and Elio feels his balls draw up angrily. They’ll need to move on soon or he’s going to come first, disturb the flow, they’re getting there, they’re getting somewhere good. Oh. Lucifer starts thrusting harder, actually taking for himself and it’s beautiful. Elio draws back enough to look into his face, they’re close enough like this that he can angle himself, kiss his nose lightly. His lips, a peck, chaste. While he’s giving the first handjob ever to the actual Devil in his actual Devil form.
When you do that to the tip, Lucifer says, sounding like a porn, but when doesn’t he, sex on legs, like this, always. Elio lets one hand work the shaft, more even, slower strokes and with the other, he rubs his palm gradually slower across the bared head, circular, insistent motions, but fading, they have to... Elio needs... ]
I want it to feel as amazing for you as you look to me. [ So, he slowly stops stroking him, just a gradual pause of movement, letting Lucifer get used to the absence of stimuli again. Once he releases him, it’s reluctant and Elio feels a youthful urge to suck his fingers, lick his palms. ] When you push inside me for the first time. I’ll get ready now. Watch.
[ With that, Elio turns around in Lucifer’s grip, allowing his claws to drag across his skin, the sensation making him lose his breath effectively. He leans in over the edge of the pool, lazily smearing more lube onto his hands, fingers, watching it glisten in the light from above. His ass is sticking up through the surface, just rising over it slightly, buttocks, asshole. He spreads his legs. Wide. ]
no subject
It's gone.
Blinking stupidly, he looks down as the stroking comes to a halt, though Elio's being nice about it (of course he is, sweet Elio), slowing down, releasing him only gradually. Oh. Yes, that's right, he promised he'd... yes. Lucifer shifts from one foot to the other beneath the water - it's the sex-glitch, when you go between positions or whatever, the moment when you're just sort of waiting around for your cue. Been there a million times and then some and normally, he wouldn't feel awkward about it but... Elio turns in his grip and he gasps, no longer from pleasure, at the sight of red lines tracking across his skin. Indents. His claws!
For a second, despite Elio telling him to watch, despite the man's arse being well and truly in his face like this, he can't see anything except those red lines, angry and harsh, though not wounds as such, not as such. They could've been, though, easily. But Elio's spreading his legs wide now and the lines move with the rest of his skin, his muscles, and he's baring himself, his arsehole looking wet and smooth between his buttocks. Focus well and truly split in two, Lucifer stares for a moment longer before he simply draws closer, close enough to lean in over Elio's back. He licks a long, wet line over the damage he's done, tasting skin and water. ]
Sorry about that. [ He runs his knuckles gently over Elio's balls between his thighs, feeling how tight they are, his cock out of reach against his abdomen. ] Good thing you didn't mind too much, huh?
[ Lucifer balances himself against the pool with the clawtips on his wings and bends down and in, nudging his face between Elio's half-spread buttocks and locking his lips around the rim of his arsehole. He puts one, big hand against Elio's waist, just to keep him bend forward a little, and presses the whole width of his tongue into him, tasting him as fully as he ever will.
Groaning loudly, he gives him a wet suck. ]
no subject
Breathe in, breathe out.
Lucifer’s wings are balancing him against the edge of the pool, these heavy draperies of darkness and shade and Elio feels so protected by them, like s shield against the world, knowing Lucifer would and already has used them as such, for him. For him. About to reply something, please leave your marks on me whenever, he doesn’t get that far, however, because Lucifer dips in between his buttocks, locking his lips over the rim of his asshole like a sneak attack and he’s so fucking lucky that Elio doesn’t surprise-ejaculate. Instead he gasps, loudly, arching his whole back like a cat, sharp, round curve and presses back against the other man’s face, mouth, tongue, penetrating him as deep as it can go. He sucks, wetly and loudly and sloppily, drool running down Elio’s crack, pooling over his balls. There’s a split second where Elio can almost see the two of them like this, the red Devil bending him over with a soft, but big hand on his waist to keep him down and Elio, taking it, taking it taking it. He’s pretty sure there are Catholic wall paintings with that motif somewhere. ]
Fuck...
[ It’s the most he can manage, the pleasure is intense and centered squarely across the sensitive nerves of his asshole, his whole body is shaking from it. Elio gives himself over willingly, like he did to Lucifer’s claws and stretches out his arms in front of himself, creating the softest curve with his entire body. Then, he moans, loudly. I’m yours, it means, have me.
I love you.
I love you.
The final one becomes I love your mouth, use it on me, muttered hoarsely, because no one believes a love declaration during sex. Not even Elio. Especially not Elio. ]
no subject
Beautiful Elio.
Tilting his head sideways, Lucifer gives him another couple of deep thrusts, thinking that self-actualization ought to come with a quick-fix function, like, I require a forked tongue as of right now and there, bam! He pulls back, licking over Elio's rim instead, long, heavy strokes, feeling the sensitive muscle fluttering in response. He keeps at it until he can't bear it any longer, his cock hard enough to hurt. He kisses the soft skin on Elio's left buttock, licking a small line up to his tailbone before he straightens up in the water. ]
Anyway. [ Splosh goes the water as he steps back half a step. ] Weren't you in the middle of something?
[ He makes his voice a little extra-perky. He's just licked Elio's arse in full Devil-face and it was a lovely thing indeed, undoubtedly the best thing he's ever experienced whilst being tall, dark and ugly. He licks his lips a couple of times, grabbing a handful of water and sloshing it haphazardly over the lower part of his face, into his mouth, though he isn't being very careful about it - he'd rather like Elio's taste to linger, his scent as well.
To keep him for as long as he's allowed this time around. A thousand years, if the theory holds true. Predictably, his brother finds the theory likely - Lucifer himself has very little faith left. Preciously little. Trust his Dad to play the long game, to let them dream...
He'd taken a hit last time, when he'd thought Elio'd been lost to him. Implying he'd allowed himself to get vulnerable, right? He'd let himself believe.
This time around, he thinks and watches Elio through unblinking red eyes, he'll be wiser. ]
no subject
Then, Lucifer stops and he knows, he knows, it’s only fair, they have an agenda, after all, multiple bullet points, but he still whines pathetically as the other man steps back, sloshes water onto his face to get the worst ass off of it and Elio is breathing funnily, turning around enough to look at him through wide, hungry eyes, fingers clenching by his sides. Will he really get another thousand years of this and after that, an eternity in intervals? He almost doesn’t dare to believe it, but if nothing else, daring was the one thing Elio always did, regardless of everything. Anything. ]
I let myself be distracted.
[ Before meeting Lucifer, such a long, long time ago in Los Angeles, it really feels like he’s lived several lives since then, maybe Elio would have said, you’re distracting me, but there are certain things you just can’t fault the Devil for and temptation is one of them. Don’t let yourself be distracted, Elio Perlman. Sure enough, he could’ve said no, it would no doubt have been respected, but he’d have been a fool and where’s the fun in that? Elio’s asshole feels more open and receptive for it. He raises an eyebrow at the other man, his faux-perky attitude, contradicted by his hard, hard, huge cock, and turns around again, bending over and letting his still slick fingers run past his balls to his crack, up, asshole, rim slick and pliant and he unceremoniously pushes two fingers in at once, spreading them to loosen the muscle further.
Almost conversationally, he says over one shoulder, only the slightest tremor in his voice: ]
I’d sometimes pray to you while jerking off, back in Italy. Just to feel closer to you. It’s probably not the intended way, but it worked. For me.
[ Let me talk to you, next time, it means. Next time, you won’t need to keep anybody out, least of all yourself.
Push, push, push go his fingers, making him pant slightly. ]
no subject
Then, he watches.
Oh. ]
It's hard for me to hear down here.
[ He tilts his head sideways. Elio's working himself open with two fingers at once and the lube is making his skin look incredibly shiny. His arsehole is expanding gradually, just opening up around the intrusion. On a long, shaky exhalation, Lucifer drifts closer again and puts one, large hand on Elio's left buttock, pulling at it a little for an even better view. ]
Something with the barrier getting in the way or distorting things - I'm not quite sure. Well, obviously, this time around I wasn't listening very carefully but regardless.
[ He shifts closer, enough for his cock to rub up against the inside of Elio's soft thigh. He stays there, getting himself just a hint of friction because judging by the size of him and the size of Elio's pretty hole, this is going to take exactly as much time as it ought.
Gaze fixed on Elio's hand, he can feel his own breathing quickening in time with his. There's something precious about it, he thinks. About catching up to him like that - imagine what he's missed out on! Elio, jerking off! Praying to him all the while! No wonder everything's wilted down here. ]
no subject
They had their turn with peaches once. Elio’s smile softens. ]
I’ll come more loudly. Next time, okay?
[ And he adds a fourth finger, feeling the stretch getting evident, getting biting and sharp and delicious and he pushes into himself a few times, accidentally brushing his prostate on the last one, making himself shudder, moan. His free arm lies bent against the edge of the pool and Elio turns his head away from Lucifer now to press his forehead against the crook of his arm, eyes falling shut while he works himself, another thrust, another...
Has to be enough, right? He groans, loudly, pulling his fingers from his own ass with a wet pop and with the utmost focus straightens up, starts lubing up the smaller of the two buttplugs, hands smooth, fast, piano wrists. He remembers New York, suddenly, maybe because it has been such a long time without, no Lucifer, no togetherness, shared history, past, present, future. He remembers the buttplug the other man gave him and that he blocked himself out with while he watched. First leg of the night.
With a bite of his lip, he turns around, holds it out. ]
Help me put it in?
no subject
But then, Elio pulls his fingers out and starts lubing up the smaller buttplug and just like that, Lucifer and Lucifer's cock have other priorities. Groaning at the sight alone, he imagines the sight of that silver plug opening the other man up and keeping him stretched, shifting at the thought of it, rubbing the head of his cock against Elio's thigh. It's weeping at the tip and he's crossing his mental fingers quite feverently that it doesn't weep, what, molted lava or what have you. He resists an absurd urge to check.
Of course it doesn't. It's a cock, not a fissure in the Earth.
At Elio's request, he blinks, then grabs the plug from him maybe a bit too fast to be dignified. Sex isn't supposed to be dignified in any case; fun, dirty, crazy, pleasurable - all of those things, yes, but you're also meant to fall apart with it at least a little bit. Granted, Lucifer usually makes that happen for other people but then, well, then came Elio who can't be mojo'ed and who's apparently meant to rule in Hell along with him, who's currently asking him to put that magnificent plug up his magnificent arse.
So get with the programme, Devil.
Trying to breathe evenly, he parts Elio's buttocks again and presses the tip of the plug against his arsehole. ]
Come on, then, darling. Let me in.
[ He pushes the plug inwards slowly, feeling for resistance. Elio's stretched himself very nicely and the first couple of inches are easy enough - then, the plug widens by quite a bit. He pauses. Pushes in. Pauses. Twisting it back and forth a bit, he watches as it sinks into Elio past its widest point, his rim swallowing it up - until it's seated, the base resting snugly in his crack. ]
no subject
Actually, he isn't sure that isn't already the case.
Meanwhile, the Devil shows absolutely no intention of holding back, pushing into him a little bit, pause to let him get used to the sensation, Elio's breath shattered and uneven, pieces of air escaping at undeterminable intervals, his fingers tight and tense where they're gripping the edge of the pool hard, keeping himself balanced and bent over. And Elio works with him, because that's what Elio does, of course, works with the Devil, fucks the Devil, loves the Devil, rules Hell with the Devil. He breathes in deeply, letting his rim widen around the intrusion, feeling it work itself inside more, and more, and more until Lucifer has managed to push it all the way in, the flaring base keeping it seated in him, all width and girth and pressure against his prostate, so his legs start shaking and he isn't panting, but gasping.
He allows himself a moment to just enjoy the intense feeling of full. Knowing he'll be much more full in a moment, in not so very long, right? Oh.
Then, the moment is over and he can't wait to move on. He remembers wanting Lucifer so much those months before they first fucked, remembers yearning and craving and lusting. And he remembers being patient and he remembers denying himself and he remembers. They've come so far since then, he doesn't have to deny himself anything anymore, they've made their choices, they were good ones, too.
Besides, lust is something else entirely, when he has to just close his thighs a little bit to catch one huge Devil cock between them.
Oh. ]
Please. Fuck me with it. [ Please, again, always with the pleases. ] Please, I want it to be you, Lucifer.
[ And patience, too, has taken on a somewhat different meaning when you're part of the cosmic order and co-rule a whole dimension with its King whom you've had to live without for months and the world is none the wiser for it and you will have to carry that longing by yourself forever, Elio knows.
Not here, though. Here, they share. ]
no subject
But then, he hears Elio's words on repeat in his mind - I want it to be you and he imagines him by himself for six months, making do, his prayers unheard and unanswered. Elio has been left too many times in his life, Lucifer's well aware. He's left him too, left him waiting and wanting with nothing but himself for comfort. The thought makes his chest ache. Eying the plug and the way Elio's stretched around it, his rim looking whole and glittering from lube, he finally works it out and leaves it on the edge of the pool.
Then, he grabs the lube and properly ruins it with his claws but who cares, out it comes, slick and glossy against his palm. He reaches for himself and wonders briefly at the feel of it, this strange cock that feels somehow exactly as natural between his fingers as the one he's used to. ]
Let me know if it's too much.
[ He tries to keep his voice even as he says it, his balls painfully tight from anticipation and his breath stumbling down his throat when he breathes. Stepping up behind Elio, he presses his cock between his buttocks, parting them and rubbing the head and the shaft against his crack and arsehole slowly. Feeling him. Oh. Oh, he doesn't want to hurt him. He so, so doesn't want to.
Pressing the head of his cock against Elio's opening, he takes a deep breath, steels himself - and pushes inwards, the massive girth of the head forcing the other man open much farther than the plug. He makes himself go slow with what has to be Herculean effort at this point, letting Elio's body set the pace. His wings, meanwhile, fold down on either side of them, dripping water into Elio's hair as they bend inwards protectively and he realises only then, very distantly, that they look sturdy like this, spikes and all, like a small fortress all in themselves.
Dangerous, yes, but to other beings. Not them.
Not him and not Elio, either. ]
no subject
It’s just Lucifer. Beautiful Lucifer. Bigger than life Lucifer.
Lucifer who steps up behind him, letting him know to tell him if it’s too much, because he’s so incredibly good, pushing the massive head of his cock in between his buttocks, letting him feel the volume of it, the pressure, the structure, uneven, thicker skin that rubs at him in a way he can’t even describe properly, like feeling every little nerve ending at once, before finally beginning to push inwards.
Elio’s eyes actually roll up into his head, it’s that big. Oh. Fuck. Yes. The way it rubs over his rim, seats itself inside him, the head blowing him open beyond everything and it’s fortunate that Elio was never averse to openness, that he opens himself gladly, gives gladly. Yes. But he can’t say anything, fingers just tightening around his own forearms until he’s leaving marks, his breathing stuttering out of him, one, two, you have to control it, you have to... Oh.
He groans. It’s in a deeper voice than his normal register, like all sound in him is getting squashed into vibrations and nothing more. Out the corner of his eye, he sees Lucifer’s huge bat wings fold around him and he slowly, properly panting, turns his head to look, to see them rise around him like walls of a fortress and it makes him feel like a princess, walled up with a dragon, pretty much. It’s the most curious, wondrous thing. Wondrous, and dripping soapy water into his hair.
To help Lucifer along, he relaxes as he best can, blinking once, twice, exhaling long and forcibly to open himself up. Like a gift.
This is the blessing. He starts pushing back. ]
You’re - [ Pant pant. ] - never too much.
no subject
Imagine.
Elio's pushing back against him, gasping and groaning and clearly taking a cock the size of a small baseball bat up his arse but oh, he's handling it isn't he, he's doing it. Lucifer, meanwhile, is chewing on his own bottom lip something fierce, forcing himself to hold back, to take it slow. Inch by inch. Oh. Oh, it's good, it's - ]
That's because -- [ He groans. The head of his cock pops inside and Elio's so warm, so tight and soft around him. It's pure insanity. ] -- oh - that's because you're you. You're so utterly you.
[ With a long, outdrawn slide, he buries himself to the base in Elio's arse, his cock stretching him open, going no deeper than usual but taking up a lot more space, definitely, by virtue of being wide as, well, Hell. Sorry. He's breathing hard now, panting, his muscles trembling from holding back, but he stays still, letting Elio get used to the sensation of it. He's gripping his own forearms hard enough to bruise and Lucifer leans in over him, then, folding one, clawed hand over Elio's forearms, both of them at once, along with his fingers. He holds him there gently, breathing into his hair, his scarred chest pressing in against his back.
Like that, he stays still, just breathing, feeling the other man breathing in turn, his body warm and tight around him. It's been so long. Oh, it's been nearly forever. ]
no subject
Since Oliver, he’s never been safe anywhere. Not even with himself. Least of all there.
His eyes well up, so he closes them. Talks to the darkness, Hell’s like that, it’s all of Lucifer’s depths. ]
You feel amazing. So full.
[ A little shaky. A little wet. He turns his head enough to sense Lucifer’s red silhouette out the corner of his eye. They’re so close it would be intolerable, if being less close than this wouldn’t be even more intolerable. Elio would tighten his rim around him, if he could, but he’s blocked so wide, he can’t even control his own muscles, they just feel strung beyond themselves. ]
Will you take me now?
[ What Elio wants to say as he turns his hand over, interlacing his fingers with Lucifer’s long, red ones is this: I want to come with you and I’m so close already, get us there, but it’s too many words and his voice is small, thin, airy. His ass is full and blocked and he hurts, but in the most beautiful way and he wants to hurt more, more beautiful, more amazing.
He wants. ]
no subject
Lucifer knows.
So he tightens his hand around Elio's arms and pulls out slowly, his cock dragging along Elio's inner walls and keeping him wide open around its girth. He pulls out about halfway, then pushes back in, keeping the pace slow still, trying - hoping - not to hurt him. He probably is, though, regardless. Sometimes, hurt can't be avoided but Elio would know better than most. ]
Oh. Oh, this is - you're magnificent --
[ He pulls back out, thrusts in. The pleasure around his cock feels electric, sparks shooting into his groin at the friction. He definitely isn't going to last as long as usual which is yet another novelty. Groaning loudly, his voice guttural and loud enough to make the walls tremble around them, Lucifer starts thrusting more evenly, closer to a pace, his lower body screaming at him to move faster, to go deeper but he takes care of Elio, he takes care and he doesn't rush.
His wings have sort of cocooned around them at this point, one of the spikes getting itself entangled in Elio's curls. Holding on, he thinks, absurdly, but then again, a wing is a bit like a hand, isn't it? His Devil wings more so than the feathered alternatives. Snapping his hips forward, he buries himself to the hilt with just a hint of forcefulness and there, oh, pleasure shooting down his shaft and into his balls, fast and hot. He moans and repeats the motion, feeling Elio's small body shake beneath him.
Reaching into the water carefully, he folds his free hand around the other man's hard cock, letting it slide forwards between his fingers at his next thrust. He can feel his claws scraping against Elio's abdomen and curves them slightly, adjusting. He's starting to learn how to be aware in this form and the thought feels equal parts scary and exhilarating. ]
no subject
You're magnificent, Lucifer tells him and Elio thinks, he feels magnificent like this, just like this. He feels empowered and protected at the same time, like he could definitely protect himself, but Lucifer is making sure that he doesn't have to. Never again. It's probably Elio's favorite feeling in the whole world, being small, but being in control regardless. It's the way Lucifer takes his time, although they're both aching to go, letting Elio's body catch up. It's the way his wings cocoon around him, closing him off from the world and ready to take the impact, should anything happen and things will always happen.
Like Lucifer will always be there. The first lover Elio's had who won't leave him in any unnatural fashion. Immortal beings, that's the deal. Even if Elio's immortal, too, now, Lucifer has been here for longer than he's even existed and he'll no doubt outlive him on the other side. God's favorite. Elio feels blessed, but of course - so he is.
Then comes the snapping of hips, things speeding up exponentially, Lucifer's hips working against him, slapping against his buttocks and he's massive and hard and amazing inside him and Elio whimpers, feeling his cock jump against his abdomen, his entire body shaking beneath each movement, his torso sliding over the edge of the pool as he's repeatedly pushed forward over his arms. His prostate is taking the brunt of the thrusts now and he's feeling a bit hazy from it, a bit far from himself, yet squarely centered in his body and Elio cries out at a particular good angle, leaning his head down and burying his face at Lucifer's arm, the scent of him, every part of him, so strong.
Tears escape the corners of his eyes.
He can't even think to begin working his own cock, but fortunately, Lucifer's a very giving sort of lover, so he does it for him, with his free hand, clawed and huge, he encircles Elio's cock, letting each thrust push him forward into the loose circle of it and just that, just that extra friction makes Elio see stars and dark edges around his vision. He moans, thrusts forward, the motion pushing him back onto Lucifer's cock at the same time, spearing him, simultaneously and he can't... oh... he can't hold back anymore, he can't even attempt it. His ass clenches around the massive girth in him and he sobs harshly, prostate again, muttering Lucifer's name before he finally comes. Finally, finally, it's been such a long wait, so long.
Whining softly, almost with no air left, his hips snap forward too, and the forward/back motion is leaving him at once touched and fucked and taken and cared for and it all bleeds together, his whole body trembling violently as he spends himself between Lucifer's fingers, clawed, though he's arranged himself so they don't scrape over skin, he's wonderful, just wonderful... ]
I love you. [ It's a breathless whisper. ] Don't stop.
no subject
Then he says -
And Lucifer comes. Hard, so hard that his vision goes black for a second, his hips freezing at the next forward-thrust. He's seated to the hilt in Elio's arse, his hand still clenched around the other man's forearms and his other holding his spent cock gently beneath the water. He can feel him everywhere, it seems, from the way he's clenched around his cock to the smell of his hair, of his body. He breathes in deep, letting his climax wash through him.
Then, pause.
I love you.
He thinks it, too, and he shapes the words with his lips against the back of Elio's head, soundless still, because he's afraid of what it might feel like to say it out loud. He doesn't. He can't. He can't break whatever this is, they're already in Hell, he's done enough surely, when it comes to these matters, there are no second chances. Lucifer folds his wings closer around the other man, his body heating up slowly, as if someone's turned on a switch somewhere and that's pretty curious, like, is that an orgasm-thing or a Devil thing or just flat-out ridiculous? Muscles rippling along his back, into his arms and wings, he folds both arms around Elio's front, one hand flat over his cock and crotch, the other over his heart. Then, smoothly, he takes them both out of the water, sliding sideways onto the floor next to the pool and folding his wings around the other man just to keep him exactly as close as possible, his cock still buried in him.
He nuzzles the back of his neck, breathing hot air onto his skin, his earlobe and into his hair.
Around them, his wings are no longer featherless. The feathers remain red and burned-looking, orange and gold, weirdly nice-looking considering the rest of the package but apparently, that's how it is now.
Apparently, that's how he is. ]
