Leon: *The Belmont home was lit by torchlight, the flames casting twisting shadows on the walls. Two men sat at either end of a large table. They had finished their dinner and talked for hours, catching up, reminiscing and lamenting all that had past. Leon sipped the last bit of wine from his goblet, and leaned back in his chair. Across from him sat Mathias, looking pleased but thoughtful. The blond, however, was becoming weary and while he wished to retire to bed, he did not want to seem too pushy.* Well, that was certainly a nice meal. The food just tastes so much better when you're home. Indeed, sleep in one's own bed is also twice as pleasant.

Mathias: That it is. *He smiled at his friend as he leaned forward to rest his arms on the table. His gaze studied the younger man closely, and he grinned in his mind. They were home at last after the long series of battles, and he had spent a few days in his own home. His wife Elisabetha had gone out for charity work for a few days though, and he figured spending a few days with Leon would be enjoyable. //Besides, I still have to get back to you for that one time at the camp...// He glanced down involuntarily, at his side where he had been wounded. The wound had healed well and he was in perfect health again.* Everything feels so much better when you can feel at ease...

Leon: ...indeed. *His blue eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that tone, that lowering of his voice. But as he knew both of them were tiring, he just internally shrugged it off. //Nothing will happen tonight. Though, I am curious what he's up to.// The blond knight rose from his chair slowly, taking time to stretch and groan while doing so. Turning to Mathias, he smiled.* Well, you should be getting on to bed now. It's becoming late, and there's much to be done tomorrow.

Mathias: *He looked at the younger man and nodded, then also stood. His eyes stayed upon the blond, and he wondered if Leon had noticed the tone of his voice. His friend was sometimes a little ignorant. //But also so easy to lead, Leon.// He circled the table and stopped next to Leon.* Don't worry about tomorrow. As usual, I have everything planned, and it's just a matter of getting things done. But it is late indeed, so you're right. Perhaps we should call it day.

Leon: We should. *His eyes were still on his friend's face. The way he was lingering next to him, the way his voice was continuously lowering, softening, made him grow more suspicious. //I know what he's playing at. But I'm too tired for his games. My head hurts a bit, and I need to sleep. Even though, it might be nice. No. I have to sleep.//* You know where the guests' quarters are. I'll see you in the morning. Good night, Mathias.

Mathias: Good night, Leon. *He smirked as he watched the younger man. Leon's frustration was so easy to read; it appeared the blond had noticed his hints but was having an inner debate about it. //Ah, I could just let you sleep... But no. My game, Leon, and we're playing with my rules tonight.// He placed his hand on Leon's shoulder and patted him gently.* I see you're exhausted after today. Anything I could do to make you feel better?

Leon: *The blond sighed. //I knew it. Alright, well then you're just going to have to work for it.// He half-grinned at the dark-haired man, stepping loose from his hand as he began to exit the room.* You could let me rest. I do appreciate your offer, though. *He stopped, throwing a glance over his shoulder.* You're weary as well, I can tell. Go get some sleep. There's always another day - or night.

Mathias: Of course. Rest well, my friend. *He lowered his face a little to hide his smirk. So Leon was playing hard to get now? That was perfectly fine with him. That also meant his friend was going to pay dearly for it. He made his way to the door and then stopped, waiting for Leon to leave first. He would let the younger man go to sleep for now. //But not for long.// His usual calm, gentle smile returned, and he nodded to his friend.*

Leon: Thank you. *He turned, and made his way through the doorway. //Something about this doesn't seem right. Oh well. Sleep just sounds so nice right now...// Down the short hallway he went, passing a few rooms until he found his. The candlelight was weakening, but he didn't mind. Soon, he would remove his clothes and replace them with a light robe. The thin material brushed his skin and made him shiver. //It seems so cold in here, so drafty.// He made his way to the bed, sitting on the edge briefly before crawling into it. //I really should put out that candle by the door, but, the bed's so warm.// He yawned and stretched out under the covers. He soon dozed off, forgetting about both his friend and the flickering flame.*

Mathias: *He watched as Leon went, then quietly followed him, staying in the shadows outside the room. He watched Leon undress and crawl into the bed, then waited for a moment before entering the room and closing the door behind him.* You don't join the game unless you plan to finish, my friend. *He whispered as he sat on the rim of the bed. He watched as the younger man slept for a moment, then moved away and removed his clothes. He studied his belt, which was made of expensive soft fabric, and grinned. He sat next to Leon again and carefully removed the robe the blond was wearing, then cautiously pulled the younger man's arms together and bound his wrists with the belt. That done, he secured the belt to the headboard of the bed.* And, the game isn't over yet, Leon. *He raised his voice just a little then leaned in to kiss the blond knight.*

Leon: Mmmm...what? *His eyelids fluttered, and he thought he could just make out the image of someone leaning over him. This of course startled him, and he moved foward instinctively. But his hands were held fast to the headboard. No amount of writhing would free them from the strong binding. He glared at the culprit.* Mathias!! *He glanced at his friend's body, which he noticed was lacking clothing.* What are you doing?! Untie me now!

Mathias: As I was saying, Leon. *He smiled calmly as he placed a hand on his friend's bare chest.* Did you think you could start playing the game, but not play till the end? *He ran his fingers down the younger man's bare skin, his touch soft and teasing. //Hope you're not too angry, Leon. I can calm you down if you are though...// He leaned down to place a short kiss on the blond knight's lips, then looked into his eyes and grinned slightly.* No, I will not untie you. We will finish the game now.

Leon: Wha-what is this about?! I don't understand! *He squirmed about, knowing it was in vain. Muttering some things under his breath, he shut his eyes. //Why are you doing this, Mathias? Why now?!// However, as much as this behavior annoyed him, he could not deny that he enjoyed it. But he would not let him know that. //If I do, he'll never leave me be. I'll never get any rest.// He opened his eyes again and looked up at the dark-haired man.* What is this really about, Mathias?!

Mathias: What is this about...? Hmm. *He smirked and moved to place another kiss on Leon's lips, although this time it was a more passionate one. He enjoyed the warmth of the kiss for a moment then pulled away and raised his right hand to caress the younger man's face. His other hand stayed on the blond knight's chest as he continued to tease his friend.* For not playing by the rules. Remember that time back in the camp, when you decided to play bold while we were making love? I told you not to. I could have finished it, but no... Well. My rules this time, Leon.

Leon: Heh. Still sore about that, are you? I see. *He tried not to smile at these words, as he did not want to encourage Mathias any more than necessary. He bit at his lip, to try to stifle his grins. //Well, how do I get out of this one....? And...uh...I wish you would stop that...stop touching me.// Indeed, his friend's touching and teasing were having their effects on his body, and he hoped that somehow Mathias did not notice. //That would be all I need for him to see.//*

Mathias: *He smirked, stopping his fingers on Leon's lips.* Well, this time I made sure you will play nicely, my dearest friend. We have all night now, and nobody will hear us. I will have you cry out my name this time. *He gave his friend a strange perverse smile then leaned down to kiss his neck. //I am so going to Hell for this, so help me God.// He traced Leon's skin with his left hand, advancing lower again, and then stopped as he reached the younger man's crotch.* ...Well now. You can't exactly claim you don't like this.

Leon: Ah... *Mathias was right. He couldn't deny it. He had found the proof of his enjoyment. He shivered a little and sighed softly. //Mathias...please stop. Not now.// Still, the feeling of his fingers on his skin was making him less convinced of his desire to sleep. He wanted Mathias, but it frustrated him.* You...

Mathias: I promise, I will let you rest later, Leon. And your rest will be peaceful. But before that... *He chuckled silently against the younger man's neck as he continued caressing his skin with his lips, placing soft, warm kisses over Leon's neck and shoulders. //So helpless you are, lying there like that.// He moved his hand a little lower, his fingertips toying with the blond knight's skin for a moment longer before he stopped his hand over Leon's manhood.* Before that, I will show you bliss.

Leon: Mathias.... *His voice, low and sultry, had him made him weak. His resolve was wavering, and he cursed himself and his friend for it. //Damn you...// Alas, his body knew that it enjoyed his touch. There was little he could do but lay limply on the bed, letting quiet moans escape his lips.* ...bliss?

Mathias: *He laughed softly and raised his face to look at his friend. Leon's expression told him more than the younger man probably realized; the blond was certainly enjoying every moment and every touch.* Yes... *His voice was low, somewhat seductive now.* I told you before, this time we will play by my rules. I'll show you what I'm capable of. *He smiled, reaching to caress Leon's hair with his right hand, then pulled his friend up a little and kissed him passionately. with his left hand he continued to caress the younger man, wrapping his fingers around the hard length and starting to stroke playfully.*

Leon: *Those slender fingers on his erection forced him to writhe upwards. He once again tried to free his hands, and once again, he could not. This frustrated him endlessly. How he wanted to stroke the chest above him, to cares the skin inches from his. //Damn this.// His lips dug into those of his friend's, voicing his frustration. Though, he was sure Mathias would take it as raging lust. He would be not be entirely wrong.*

Mathias: *He felt the younger man move under his, noticing Leon was trying to pull his hands free. He broke the kiss for a moment and moved to check the binding, pleased to find it still secure.* Struggling won't help you, Leon. I'm not letting you go until I choose to do so. Just lie there, relax, and let me take care of you. *He grinned slightly again then placed another kiss on his friend's lips before pulling away and stopped to search the small cabinet beside the bed. //I will so kill you if you don't have oil here, Leon.// He smiled then as his hand came across a small bottle he had originally given to Leon himself.* I swear I won't disappoint you...

Leon: You'll take care of me... *Hearing those words shook the last bits of anger from the blond knight. He had always known that no matter what, his friend would live by those words. He knew that Mathias cared for him and he for him, and really, these words need not be spoken. //You are the trickiest man I know. Hard to believe you're my best friend as well. Heh.// But Leon just looked at his friend, trying to further cloak his grins. He still did not want him to get away with this, though now he was only playfully shunning his advances. In reality, his desire was growing.*

Mathias: Yes. *He smiled at his friend as he opened the small bottle and spread some oil on the fingers of his left hand. He then put the bottle away and moved on the bed a little to give himself better access to what he was planning on doing next. //Yes, I will have you crying out my name before I'm done, Leon.// He laughed a little, then placed his hand over the younger man's erection again.* I will take care of everything... *He ran his fingers down Leon's sex then slipped them lower, and turned to look at the blond knight's face. Leon looked quite adorable when touched.*

Leon: *The blond shut his eyes, taking in the pleasure that was his friend's skilled fingers on his erection again. Slick with the oil, his skin tingled. //I told him I wanted to sleep. And this is what ends up happening.// He leaned back down onto the bed more, his head resting on the soft pillow. He could feel those fingers drift lower now. Sweet anticipation grew inside him for what awaited him next. He grinned slightly, his eyes still closed.* I know you will...

Mathias: *He smiled again, studying the younger man's face. Leon's closed eyes, that slight, adorable grin... //Ready, hmm? I'll give you what you're waiting for.// His fingers searched for their target, carefully spreading the oil while he placed his right hand on his friend's chest and fondled his skin.* This always hurts a little, so be prepared. *His words were casual; he was just stating the obvious. He had done this to Leon enough times for the blond to know what was coming. His gaze studied Leon's face closely when he pressed a finger into the younger man cautiously.*

Leon: *The blond nodded gently. The pain that usually came with this activity, while it was present, was less sharp. Perhaps he had put it aside in his mind, and was now paying attention to only his lover, and not how much God must hate to see them like this. //If there's one thing you taught me, it's how to prioritize.// But such thoughts were unimportant now. Twinges of pain shot up his back as Mathias moved his finger and he squirmed a little. //I still wish I could move my hands.// But he smiled, showing him that he was ready. Ready for him.*

Mathias: Better now? *He asked quietly, grinning just a little as he looked at the blond knight's face. He wondered if his friend had any idea how delightful he looked right now. //I would presume you don't. You are somewhat ignorant when in comes to such details... However, I find it lovely.// He moved his finger slowly, pressing a little deeper, teasing.* We shall continue then. I promised to take care of you, and that I will do... *He lifted his right hand to Leon's face, drawing his fingertips over the handsome face softly. He then learned down and captured the tip of the younger man's erection into his mouth.*

Leon: Ah...Mathias... *He sighed woozily, becoming drunk on the pleasure of all this stimulation. Between the soft caress of his face, the finger pressing ever deeper inside him, and now the feeling of that warm, moist mouth on his sex, he knew he would not last long. But he would try, as it would be embarrassing to spend his pleasure so quickly. He thrust his body gently upwards, the building ecstasy taking control. //Much more of this, Mathias, and you won't be able to hold me down.//*

Mathias: *He grinned in his mind as he continued his caresses. Leon's voice told him everything he needed to know; the younger man was lost in the pleasure already, and it encouraged him to continue. He slipped another finger into the blond, at the same time taking more of the hard length into his mouth and sucking gently. //Let's see how well you can control yourself. I could continue this for a while you know.// He traced his friend's jaw with his right hand, slowly drawing his fingers lower.*

Leon: *As the second finger entered him, he squirmed more. He leaned his head down, trying to kiss his friend's fingers as they drifted lower. Mathias had more of his erection in his mouth now, and he could feel his tongue tickling the skin. //You're determined, aren't you? Determined to see me lose myself completely.// He began breathing heavily, letting a series of moans escape his lips, as it was becoming impossible not to. He was nearing a release. It would not be long now.*

Mathias: *Leon's moans encouraged him even more; he was doing this to teach his friend a lesson after all, and was indeed very determined. He wanted to see Leon weakened beyond any control, if just this once, and he was very patient. His fingers wandered over the blond knight's face until he stopped them over the younger man's lips again, teasing him. //Very sensitive...// He draw his tongue over Leon's erection before taking the organ fully into his mouth, simultaneously pressing his fingers deeper into the blond.*

Leon: Aaah...*A single loud moan left the blond now. The sensation of his sex meeting the inside of that wet mouth was too much, especially since it was coupled with the sinking of those slender fingers more deeply into him. //Mathias...this is all too much. And you know this. Don't you?// He writhed upwards, sliding himself further into his friend's mouth, and causing himself more maddening pleasure. //One more time like that, and...// He struggled with his bindings again, only half-expecting to do him any real good. He was most frustrated at being unable to use his hands now, frustrated at being unable to take them and run his hands through his lover's long dark hair. //Damn.//*

Mathias: Am I frustrating you? *He whispered, stopping for a second.* You have the option of just giving up, Leon. Give me what I'm after... *He resumed what he had been doing, very pleased of the way the younger man was responding to his touch. The pace of his caresses turned faster; he was adamant on his intent to get what he wanted now and was not going to give his friend any rest. //Just a little more... heh.// He controlled his movements with precise skill, pressing his fingers into his lover on the exact moment Leon would thrust upwards a little.*

Leon: *He looked down at his friend and grinned.* Uhn...not..a chance. Not...so easily. *He muttered, between gasps and groans. He realized that as he pushed upward, Mathias was meeting his motions with thrusts of his fingers. This was unfortunate. He bit his lips again, trying to hold himself back, to keep his pleasure contained. He squeezed his eyes shut, telling himself to restrain. But as he felt that tongue slide over him and those fingers push deeper, he could not. No longer. As he opened his mouth, a low moan rolled forth.* Mathias! *He had hit his release, and he could feel the liquid warmth spill out of him.*

Mathias: *The rewards for all his work pleased him greatly. Leon had indeed called out his name, and while the blond had just been saying one thing, his body had apparently disagreed. //And I win the game, although you only wish it was over yet, my friend.// He straightened his back and looked at his friend, raising his right hand to wipe some remains of Leon's release off from his lips.* You were saying? *He commented with a mischievous tone. While he had paused his caresses for now, his left hand stayed between the younger man's legs, and he moved his fingers just slightly, to see if there was any change in Leon's expression.* I think I should let you need to rest for now... For a moment, maybe.

Leon: *Hearing that smug voice now was a bit frustrating, as was dealing with the fact that he had just done precisely what his mind told him not to do. //It's supposed to be mind over body, not body over mind.// Alas, he was where he was now, and he could not undo what he just done. Though, he was sure Mathias was quite pleased with himself. He could tell by the way his eyes shone deviously, the way his lips edged upward in that impish grin that Leon had grown so fond of over the years. But, the blond just looked up at his friend with a tired grin.* I think you should untie me first, and then let me sleep.

Mathias: Ah? Who said anything about untying you? *He laughed softly, smiling at the younger man. There was certain evilness in his smile, reflecting his thoughts.* I do suppose you have learned something by now, but did you really expect to get to sleep already? I gave you the pleasure you longed for; now, you owe me something. *He reached to caress his friend's face again, tracing Leon's lips with his fingertips. The younger man had just released, but Mathias knew he wouldn't have to wait too long. Ten minutes, perhaps... He grinned, slowly moving his fingers inside of his lover again.*

Leon: Heh, no free lunches with you, eh? *As he spoke, his words broken by yet more pleasured sighs, he could not help but think of how ridiculous he must have sounded. But he just smirked back, hit with his own stroke of deviousness. He lowered his voice, almost to a whisper.* You know...if you untied me...I could show you the same bliss. *He wondered if Mathias, wise, cunning Mathias, would take the bait. As he enjoyed his friend's fingers pushing inside him again, he watched. And waited.*

Mathias: Hmm? *He smiled slightly, that usual calm smile of his, with a hint of something, something that showed that he just knew better. He leaned forward, closer to his friend's face, and raised his right hand to the binding holding the younger man's wrists.* Yes, I could. *He said as he drew his fingers over the blond knight's hands, fondling his skin. He then let his hand drop lower and petted Leon's hair gently.* But I won't. *He added with a grin, then moved to kiss the younger man.*

Leon: *The kiss was sweet and passionate, but he began to wonder how much longer Mathias would keep him here like this. It was definitely not a bad position to be in, but he longed for sleep. //I've already released once from your touch. What more do you want from me?//* Why not? I could return the favor... *He knew that his lover had made his mind up. He did not even expect an answer. He just enjoyed teasing his friend.*

Mathias: Because I say so. *He stared into Leon's eyes and grinned then grabbed his friend by the hair and kissed him again deeply and passionately. //You just can't take no for an answer, can you, Leon?// He halted his other caresses for now, enjoying the kiss and, in his mind, planning his next move. He never did anything without detailed plans. //I'm most likely confusing you now, but you'll just have to deal with it.//*

Leon: *The blond could not deny that he enjoyed this rough and rather unpredictable treatment. After all, it made the game more interesting, if nothing else. Though, it was also working to rebuild the pleasure he had felt and reveled in earlier. //What's this, Mathias? Not sure what to do with me?// He grinned as he kissed the dark-haired knight, laughing to himself.*

Mathias: *He broke the kiss after long moment passed; calculating or not, he happened to enjoy simply being there, and the warmth of their kisses pleased him greatly. He sat on the bed again then and watched the younger man with a gentle smile on his face.* Do you have any idea how desirable you look like that? *He pondered aloud, voicing his earlier thoughts. He placed his right hand on his friend's shoulder and stroked his skin softly while he finally decided to move his left hand again, his fingers still pressed into his lover.*

Leon: *The blond blushed in spite of himself. He had heard such words from Mathias before, but he loved the gentleness of his features at this moment. They were genuine, and this he appreciated more than anything. As much as he wanted to ask his friend the same thing, he just lay quietly, smiling and sighing at his touch. A few soft moans also escaped his lips, and he moved his body to meet his lover's motions inside of him. He looked Mathias in the eyes and asked him a simple question in not much more than a whisper.* Am I not here for the taking...?

Mathias: I would hope so, yes. *He leaned in for a short kiss on the younger man's lips then watched him for a moment longer, delighted by Leon's smile.* But you'll have to let me do this, in that case. Accept already that I'm not going to free you, and just enjoy it. *He smirked, slowly picking up the pace of his caresses. He would get his friend to react eventually, and while he wanted to enjoy this as long as he could, his main objective was still pleasing the blond.*

Leon: It seems I haven't much choice. But I will enjoy it, nonetheless. *He grinned more, his eyes narrowing slightly as he did so. He could feel himself reacting to the touches again, and inadvertently glanced downward at his crotch. He quickly looked away again, not meaning to draw his friend's attention to his physical reactions. So, he just sighed, and looked up at Mathias as he lay on the bed. //I'll never get used to this, being able to just stare at you and admire that beauty of yours.// He was growing curious as to what his lover had in store for him next, though he had his ideas. He decided to watch his smiles. Those were often helpful.*

Mathias: I am overjoyed to hear that. *He nodded slightly, smiling warmly. He stopped to look at his friend for a moment, his gaze studying the younger man's beautiful body carefully. //...Ah...? I see.// He grinned slightly, then just gave up and moved to lie down next to Leon. He had wanted to felt the blond knight's body against his for a while now. He lay still for a while, enjoying the warmth of their closeness. He then resumed fondling the younger man again, his actions much more precise now that he had noticed Leon's reaction.* And I'm also quite pleased to find you enjoying my touch...

Leon: *The blond blushed a bit, but said nothing. Mathias had noticed after all. //Ah well, he was going to sooner or later. It pleases him, though. And that's always a good thing.// He turned to his friend, moving closer to him, moving as much as his bindings would allow. He was happy that he had decided to just lie next to him. A simple gesture, but so desired it was. He felt silly about not being able to move his hands still, for it was during a moment like this that he very much wanted to lay his fingers on his lover's skin, to let them drift across it teasingly. //Heh, and to think I got into this situation angry and bitter at him.// Mathias had his ways, his methods of persuasion that even Leon found mysterious. But the blond just smiled, blue eyes gentle and focused.*

Mathias: *He pressed himself against the blond, knowing it pleased them both. He grinned slightly, amused by the way Leon's body was responding to his touch, but then again, he couldn't exactly deny being aroused himself, either. He had no reason to hide the fact from his lover, though; it was only fair, and it only proved how much he desired the younger man. //Who wouldn't, Leon. You are simply beautiful... Such a sinful man I am. May God forgive both our souls.// He placed a gentle kiss on his friend's lips then concentrated on pleasuring him again. He drew his right hand over Leon's bound wrists, silently hoping the knight's hands weren't getting tired. //Ah, just a little longer...//*

Leon: *The kisses, though short and sweet, were also much appreciated. Leon had tried to keep his lips lingering on his friend's, so that he could continue to savor the taste of the moistened flesh. He strained against the dark-haired man's caresses, gradually losing his focus again. //What is it about your touch that makes me blind with such lust? With such sinful insanity?// As he looked in his friend's eyes, he knew. //Stupid question.// His wrists were sore, but the pleasure he was deriving from this experience was enough to make him ignore the pain. //How much longer though, Mathias? How much longer will you torture me here like this? Not being able to touch you now is my torture.// His discomfort surfaced in the form of shallow sighs and quiet, labored groans. His body could not remain this way, bound and restrained, for much longer.*

Mathias: Frustrated again? *He whispered, unable to keep himself from smiling mischievously. He was an observant man and could notice the small signs his friend was giving. //I know you're uncomfortable, but give me a little more time. I can't let you go just yet, it would destroy the whole purpose of tying you down...// He pressed another kiss on the younger man's lips then looked at him with that gentle smile again.* Most unfortunate but necessary, dear Leon. *He kissed the blond again, more passionately this time then moved lower, placing warm kisses over his friend's neck, shoulders and chest. His right hand sought the knight's erection and he wrapped his fingers around it, fondling Leon skillfully.*

Leon: Ah, Mathias...*Fingers found his sex again, and tickled it with their touch. The blond squirmed upward at the feeling, sighing and groaning with increasing frustration. //Not long now. Not as long as this continues.//* Necessary...? *A low moan carried this word, and his chest heaved as he did so. When his lover planted a short kiss on one of his nipples, a shiver coursed through his body. He knew what that meant. The caresses were becoming to much to handle, and restraint was becoming impossible. He looked at Mathias with desperate eyes, breathing shallow breaths.* Mathias...

Mathias: What is it? *He murmured the words against his friend's chest, his lips caressing the blond knight's skin.* Do you perhaps want something? *He glanced up with a slight grin on his face, quite aware of what the younger man needed. //Simply so lovely you are. Wanting it so much.// His hands worked on fondling the younger man, his fingers still inside the blond and his other hand caressing Leon's sex. He knew too well what would please the blond the most, and he of course went for the most teasing and torturing way of doing things as possible.* If you want something you'll have to say it, ask me. How else am I supposed to know...?

Leon: Nngh...damnit, Mathias... *He gritted his teeth, trying to conceal some of his obvious desperation, though by now it was pointless. Mathias had him figured out, as he was not ignorant when it came to such matters. He squirmed and writhed more, trying to deal with the raging pleasure. But it was to no avail.* Let me finish this...or finish this for me. *He paused, hesitating to finish his sentence. But he decided, that for the sake of his sanity, he had better swallow his pride for now.* Please...

Mathias: *He stopped his caresses on that moment, moving his hands away. He raised his head and captured the younger man for a warm, passionate kiss, then looked at his face, his expression somewhat regretting.* I'm sorry, Leon. *He whispered, raising his right hand to caress the blond knight's face.* I shouldn't have done this to you, shouldn't have gone this far... But, I'm not going to back up. *He took the bottle of oil and moved to add some of the contents on his own sex.* I promise I won't torture you much longer. *He looked at his friend with a confident smile, then shifted to lie between Leon's legs. He spread his friend's thighs then paused for a second before cautiously entering him.*

Leon: Unn...Mathias! *It was not the slight pain of his friend entering him that made him gasp at this moment. It was the fact that he made him writhe and suffer his iminent climax yet even more, by pulling his hands away and making the pleasure burn longer. He wanted to lower his hands and grab his friend, to reprimand him all the while for letting this carry on so long. For torturing him. In his mind he cursed him. But from his lips came low, rolling moans. Again, his body had betrayed him. And again he would fight it. And surely, he would lose. //Who am I kidding?// The blond continued to voice his appreciation however, seeming to forget his frustration. But then, that was likely what the dark-haired man had in mind.*

Mathias: ...Leon... *He paused for a moment and took a deep breath. He had needed this more than he had realized. He had been completely occupied with his obsession of pleasing his friend that he had barely remembered his own needs. //Should've listened to you and let you go earlier. Maybe your touch would have reminded me...// He laughed quietly then started moving again, pressing himself into the younger man, still carefully and wanting to make sure Leon enjoyed it. He pulled the blond close for a kiss then looked at his friend, grinning just a bit. The knight's body was giving him all the answers he might have wanted; he had lied earlier when telling Leon he wouldn't know unless the blond said it.* My Leon...

Leon: *He grinned meekly as Mathias looked over his body, noticing the signs of his pleasure. //Mathias...you should have let me go before. Then, well...// The blond sighed, letting his head fall back against the pillow and arching his body upwards. The gentle thrusts were building his pleasure again. His heart pounding loudly in his chest. Short breaths got quicker, and familiar shudders crept along his body. Good signs. //Maybe he'll let me finish this time. I can only hope that he's so kind.// After a few moments, he raised his head again, just far enough to reach his lover's lips for another sensual kiss.*

Mathias: *He closed his eyes and just enjoyed the feeling of their bodies close together for a while. There were times when he wondered why it felt so perfect, considering how sinful the act was. It was wrong, but yet... //But isn't that what makes it sin? Maybe God didn't think humans shouldn't have access to such pleasure. He's wrong, in that case.// He sighed silently, condemning his own thoughts. He couldn't deny it though, he loved Leon, and he wanted to do everything to make sure the younger man felt it. //Should I free you? Maybe... I think you've learned your lesson by now, and God do I want to feel your arms around me...// He kissed the blond again while pressing into him steadily, controlling himself perfectly despite of everything.*

Leon: Uhnn...I... *The blond knight could tell he was nearing the end now. His lover's controlled thrusts and perfectly timed caresses and kisses had weakened him all over again, despite his initial resolve. //He has released me once already. Now, he's about to do it again.// Leon smiled at this thought, muttering to himself how almost uncannily skilled his friend was. The other man knew his body, knew what it took to reduce it to yielding flesh. But the blond insisted on freeing his hands now. //I cannot take this any longer. I want you in my grasp, in my embrace.// He tugged on the bindings as he neared his release, looking up at Mathias with wild, pleading eyes.*

Mathias: Leon. *He smiled at the blond, taking a moment to stare deep into his friend's blue eyes. He then reached to the younger man's wrists and worked at the belt, mumbling a couple of quite curses. He had bound Leon well, and the binding had not come off during all of the knight's struggles - and it also meant he had to stop moving for a moment to concentrate on removing the knots holding the thing down. //Finally...// He pulled the belt off and tossed it to the floor then wrapped his arms around the younger man and resumed the thrusts. He needed it about as badly as Leon did, only happened to fanatic about the control.* ...God, I need you... *He mumbled then kissed his lover again.*

Leon: *He was free now, free to take his hands and run them over his lover's skin, through his hair. He held onto the dark-haired man as he thrusted into him, his fingers tight on his shoulders and back. Leon was so relieved to be free again that he almost did not notice just how tightly he clung to Mathias, how much he was digging his nails into his flesh.* And I, you... *He leaned in and whispered in his friend's ear before kissing him. With his hands free, being able to draw him closer and closer to him still, he could feel complete, he coud know that this release would be complete.*

Mathias: *The control was still there, barely. With Leon's arms around him and the younger man kissing him, the control was something unconscious that was always present. In reality he had stopped giving a damn; he kissed his friend passionately and pressed into him, guided only by the need for the pleasure of both of them. //Leon... God, Leon, mine...// His thoughts were unclear as he wasn't exactly in a condition to think straight. The warmth they both longed for burned his body, and he mumbled Leon's name between their kisses. His shoulders ached a bit for Leon had managed to scratch him deeply, but he didn't care right now.*

Leon: *The blond, running his fingers across his friend's shoulders more, noticed the scratched flesh and felt guilty. //I've lost all sense of myself right now. Why is that? How is that? Ah, but it doesn't matter now.// He pressed his lips against his friend's, pushing his tongue past them playfully, lustfully. The sweat rolled down their skin and onto the sheets below, liquid happiness. Happiness soon to escape its confines. However, Leon broke the kiss for a moment. He had to speak now, else he would struggle with his words.* Mathias, I'm...

Mathias: *He sighed, managing to smile a little. He was getting quite exhausted and continued only because Leon needed it, and God knew he needed it too, so badly that it made him ignore everything else in the world. Leon's words restored some sense into his mind, at least. //Not that I was thinking straight in the first place. Heavens I need you so much...// He held the younger man close, their bodies so hot that it burned him.* ...Leon... *He caught himself; his voice sounded strange, and he forced the control on himself despite of what he needed. He glanced down, realizing something, then slipped his hand between their bodies and wrapped his fingers around the younger man's erection. It wasn't probably needed, but he wanted to do it.*

Leon: *His blue eyes grew wide at the touch, at the grip on his sex. He figured that his soft words earlier had spurred Mathias to fondle him once more, and he was glad. The caresses were quite welcome, and his moans grew louder with each brush of his fingertips on his length. //You are always ready for me, always looking out for me. I will never be able to thank you enough for that, my friend.// Leon could tell his friend was rapidly tiring though, and he wanted to give him rest. He would help him along then, would help him to finally take his release. Bringing his head to his lover's chest, he kissed and nibbled at the skin, hoping that a few teasing bites on his friend's nipples would do the trick. //Let me help you, Mathias.//*

Mathias: Leon... *His voice was tired, but he knew they were both so near. He needed just a little more and calculated that his friend was on the limit as well. He still controlled his thrusts perfectly, although the pace quickly drained him from strength. His hand worked on the younger man's sex, and he smiled, knowing Leon was enjoying it. //Perhaps I should not try things like this again...// He felt the blond's lips on his skin then and gritted his teeth. //Or perhaps I should. So eager, Leon. For God's sake, let's finish this already...// A little more was all the they both could handle, he knew that as he pressed against his lover, closing his eyes.*

Leon: Yes... *All was briefly fading before him, and he could feel his face flush. Sweat rolled down his back, and his body quivered. His warm release was a powerful wave over his body, and he could not contain a final deep moan.* Mathias...! *After regaining some control of his mind, which was temporarily lost, he grinned wearily and looked up at his lover, taking his hands and caressing his shoulders.*

Mathias: *He grinned triumphantly when feeling the younger man wet his palm, but he couldn't enjoy his victory for too long. His exhausted body decided to claim his release on that moment, and he came as well, not noticing that he mumbled Leon's name when doing so. He slumped on top of his friend after the moment passed, then took a deep breath, trying to calm down. He looked at the blond, noticing the grin.* ...You really are stubborn, you know that? *He murmured tiredly, raising one hand to caress Leon's face.*

Leon: Just one more thing you taught me. *He lay back on the bed, content to relax for a few moments until they decided to clean up and finally rest for the night. //Never, Mathias. I'll never let you go.//*

Mathias: *He laughed wearily but still smiled.* I suppose so, although I would say you were always like that. *He moved to lie next to the younger man and wrapped his arms around Leon. They couldn't exactly start just sleeping although he had wished for it, but he could still lay there for a moment, for that moment not knowing his thoughts reflected his friends quite perfectly.*
