Ever since watching Albert's death on the T.V. Jet hadn't left district 3. It had been horrible and he could only guess what state his partner would be in when he woke up. He hoped it wouldn't be too bad.

When the avoxes ushered him out of the German's room, Jet waited in the commons until they cleared out, then camped out right in front of Albert's door like some guard protecting a prince's room. Back to the door and knees pulled up to his chest, he waited. How long did this usually take? He'd died after Albert almost every time so far. So he waited, spending the time with thoughts of what he could do depending on how his fiance felt when he woke up, all of the options he could pursue to make the German feel better, even entertaining some of the worst-case scenarios he sincerely hoped weren't as possible as he feared.

An hour into his wait and a thought occurred to him. More than likely, Albert would need a little bit of distraction until he could either process or compartmentalize and there was one way Jet could think of that seemed to always work. At least so far. The only problem was thinking of what to say.

"I don't think I've ever told you about some of the stuff that happened during those twenty-seven years, huh? I'll go with that. Some of it's boring though, you know, NSA paperwork and that crap, but there was some fun stuff too. One thing you might get a kick out of: I was the leader of a squadron for a little while, just some new pilots that needed training and everyone else was busy, so they asked me. It was a good group, most of 'em were pretty young, but they were eager and determined. They were probably my favorite out of the military personnel I had to work with over the years.

Anyway, there was this one woman in the group, a pretty red-head named Marissa. She had a lot of spunk and kept me on my toes, I think training her gave me a good idea of the shit I put you through when we were younger. We talked a lot and hung out outside of training....there was probably some rule against that. But about a month before their training was going to end and they were to be assigned to a real group, Mar and I went out for drinks like we'd do every other week or so. I dunno if it was the timing or one too many drinks, but she ended up kissing me. It was pretty weird, I don't think I'd kissed a girl since 1962. Of course, I pulled away and things were kind of awkward as I told her she really wasn't my type, but it did tell me one thing: I didn't really like kissing people that weren't you, girl or not. Pretty sappy, but I guess the moral is you shouldn't ever worry about that."

He paused, his smile faltering a little. It was funny now with everything else that had happened and was currently going on, but it hadn't been too funny back then when it had only made his heart break more.

"I spent all night telling her about you. The conversation sort of ended with her telling me I was a giant moron and that I should call you...I was too scared, never did obviously, but I kinda wonder what would have happened if I had. I wonder if anything would've changed, if maybe that His Voice stuff would have turned out differently."

If maybe he wouldn't have died, if maybe they could have all gotten together to stop the U.S. government and ended up with a happier ending. Of course, that book in the arena said he didn't actually die, but it had hardly given him a very clear image of what had happened.

"Oh...and someone visited me, someone you might remember from those times you lived with me in New York. Jimmy. He came to the air base cause he'd apparently heard about me from a friend and figured out who I was. Did you know I never went back to see him after the doc fixed me up? Figured a complete face-change was a bit too much when I hadn't talked to him in a long time anyway.

I hurt him pretty bad with that, apparently. But...he forgave me. Hell, he kinda told me something I needed to hear back then, I'm glad he found me again. I wish I knew what happened to him. He was a firefighter, how cool is that? He was pretty good at it too, from what I heard."

He laid his head back against the door, going quiet again as he thought about what to say next. Minutes passed and he started talking again, going on and on about the planes he'd piloted, the things he'd named them, how they'd worked, which one was his favorite. It turned into his training with the government and the military and he distantly realized he looked pretty damn insane sitting against the door talking to no one, but he didn't once stop. Whatever came to mind, it came out of his mouth, determined to talk himself hoarse until Albert opened his door.

"I thought the F-35s weren't in service yet," Albert's voice comes raspy, low but full of warmth for the rambling idiot on the other side of the door.

He'd woken up to the sound of Jet's voice, sounding more nasal and thready through the barrier between them and just for a moment he'd nearly had a panic attack at being back on Black Ghost Island. Only they never had feather pillows and soft sheets, and his body is human and tingles from whatever the stylist team does before the tributes return to the land of the living. His nails are cut, his face is shaved, he's whole and unharmed from all but mental scarring.

And Jet's voice rambled on. The first thing he'd caught had been about being a moron and it had made him smile and sit up. At his talk of Jimmy, Albert nearly commented, but instead just listened, sinking into Jet's voice, breathing softly in the relief that there's no animosity for having killed him in the arena, no unwanted resentment. There couldn't be, not with Jet sitting there and reciting the name of every plane in the United States Air Force. He wouldn't be there if he was holding a grudge.

Albert moved to the door, resting his forehead against it for a moment before, finally, he spoke. Sudden participation in the heretofore one-sided conversation reminiscent of how they'd first spoken to each other. Not the very first, not when Jet had been speaking to him through the grate for so long that the sudden absence of the younger man's voice had been deafening and prompted the German to speak, but instead how they'd passed the hours after. Talking of everything and of nothing. Jet kept him going. Was still keeping him going. It's how the blond knows to help him cope and with everything that's happened, he should show him it still works.

Albert opens the door slowly, stepping up just behind Jet with a quiet smile. "I'm alright, Sparrow."

Jet's hug makes Albert step back a little with its force, but he wraps his arm around the blond just as tightly, holds him as close as he can muster. Everything in the arena had gone further downhill after Jet had gone; he'd only lasted another few days before Pruna, and that little girl's face will haunt his nightmares until the day he dies. He won't think on it now, not when he has his fiance back in his arms and things are almost right in his world again.

He just needs one thing.

Carefully, Albert moves Jet back just a little, enough to see his face but not break any of the tight embrace they're tangled in. He doesn't speak, just presses his lips gently to his partner's, somehow conveying all his affection and emotional well being into the simple gesture

He doesn't want words anymore, no matter how much he appreciates them when rattled from the lips he's kissing. He wants touch and action, gentle and intimate in a way they haven't had for some time.

He wants Jet.

Shifting them both back, one arm still closely around the blond's waist, Albert shuts the door and leaves them alone in the soft light of his bedroom, then kisses Jet again the same way as the first time.

Jet's suddenly throwing more passion and flame into the kiss than Albert knows what to deal with, the fire a slow burn but more intense and it leaves Albert to gasp in its wake, desperately needing air but even more desperate for Jet's lips again.

He's against the door but it doesn't stop Albert from ducking in again and returning that intensity with some of his own, exploring his partner's mouth as if it's undiscovered territory, sucking in his breath and holding him so close that it's a wonder any oxygen is present between them at all.

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-10-03 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
He'd thought they'd been building to a frenzied pace, that Jet was going to take him fast and hard and to be honest he'd liked the idea. Even if he was in a slow mood before, he'd warmed up to the idea quickly, especially with Jet shoving him against the door.

But now he's slowing down, causing a slow burn inside Albert's chest as lips caress by inches and finally not at all, instead fingers tracing over his features, mapping him out with tactile care for Jet to memorize. Albert knows why, but his heart still skips and his face still flushes as blank white eyes watch bright blue trace over every curve and dip.

Albert doesn't stop him. Even with his eyebrows drawn up in worry he waits for Jet to pull back a little before speaking. He knows Jet's blindness had rocked him to the core, made Jet more fearful than Albert had ever seen him. Enough to ask for death. There's no doubt in Albert's mind that the state of mind he was in is still with him, even if its just remembered.

"Are you alright?"

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-10-05 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
They'll need to talk, and soon. Albert can't leave what happened in the arena between them when they were going to get married. He has to be totally certain there's no resentment, nothing that can bubble over into some unexpected mess later.

But later seems to be the keyword when Jet looks at him like that, demands he removes his clothes. They can talk later.

Albert leans up to kiss his fiance, pecking and hungry kisses as he shrugs out of his shirt obediently, fingers going from Jet's buttons the same second his own shirt drops to the carpet. He keeps stepping forward as he does, driving Jet backwards towards the bed. If his partner wants to be in charge, he's going to have to retake the reigns quickly, because Albert clearly has other things in mind.
silberfuchs: (gentle)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-10-12 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
The lamp ignored, Albert almost protests that Jet has nothing to make up for, but he does. At least a little he does.

Albert doesn't resent what Jet asked him to do in the arena, even if maybe he should considering the blond had let himself drown in the ship rather than go on without him but now afforded Albert the same option to follow his fiance out. But he knows why, he knows Jet can't stand the thought of Albert visiting violence on himself, not again, not when he doesn't know for certain if there's an undercurrent of self loathing in the action. Albert can't blame Jet for that, even if it frightens him a little.

No does he have much time to give it thought right now, not with Jet kneeling over him and his hand working slowly to bring Albert to attention. He takes a deep breath, pursing his lips as he listens to Jet's ultimatum. There's something so intoxicating about Jet taking charge like this. He doesn't do it often. Albert doesn't exactly let him do it often, not through lack of want but just because Albert has issues relinquishing control. But this, right now, this is heady and thrilling and the older man gives a little smirk as he brushes his knuckles along his partner's shoulder affectionately.

"Yes sir, Master Jet."
silberfuchs: (reclining)

They're funny things, nipples. Honestly Albert forgets he even has them most of the time. They serve little purpose and he spent so long without them; it's not as if Black Ghost's scientists replaced those along with everything else. So when Jet attacks one, the gasp Albert gives is deep and surprised, giving way to heavy breathing and a quiet moan when his partner moves to mark his chest instead. Gott he loves it when Jet gets rough and possessive.

He's about to rest his hands on his fiance when the man decides to move down instead, frustrating but also a source of anticipation. He can feel only one of Jet's hands and so he sneaks a peek to see what the other is occupied with. He's not disappointed. There's something about how Jet looks when he's concentrating like that, making certain his fingers are wet and slick with a half-lidded gaze and a slight puff to his cheeks. Albert can't help but imagine himself in Jet's mouth instead, leading to a quite visual physical reaction he doesn't bother to hide. Let Jet see what he does to him.

Albert takes a heavy breath as the blond's fingers press in, spreading and filling him up with care, and with a stray thought he wonders how he ever could think Jet is hiding resentment. This isn't resentment. It can't be, not with how gentle his partner is progressing, even if there's a firmness to his motions, designed to help, not hurt.

The German's eyes flutter closed and he lets out another moan, this one languid and accompanied by a small raise of Albert's hips off the bed, urging Jet to continue, inviting him inside.

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-10-21 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
It takes effort on his part, but Albert lets Jet lead him, guide him into whatever position the blond wants. It's rare that he relinquishes control like this and he knows when he does that Jet's more than pleased to fill the power vacuum. Like so, with his curling Albert's knee over his shoulder and gripping his ass for leverage, effectively trapping Albert where he is on the bed at an angle where the German will feel every tiny movement as a sweeping gesture.

His breathing picks up as Jet slides in and out, not pounding but not slow either, just at the trembling cusp of where it would be too much too quickly. His rhythm is perfect, the exact beat to where he pulls helpless panting and twitches from his partner but keeps him frustratingly from real fulfillment. It has to build and with each thrust it does, one of Albert's hands fisting in the comforter as he tries with negligible success to raise his ass to Jet's hips with each movement. Silent begging for deeper, harder, closer.
silberfuchs: (omg Jet plz)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-10-21 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"I-" He has to pause for a breath. "I trust you."

He just can't help wanting more. Sex like this, it isn't his preference. At times it can be downright uncomfortable, but what makes it good, what makes him want it, is Jet. There's something about feeling his partner inside, by virtue of who he is and what he is to Albert, that makes the German shudder with anticipation and pleasure at any attention, even what he normally may not enjoy. Even so, he has an incredibly hard time finishing without any attention to other pieces of him, and that's where he assumes Jet wants his trust to lie. That he knows, and he partner won't leave Albert just out of reach of completion.

He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly through pursed lips, trying to calm himself, to fully let Jet do as he will and just allow himself along for the ride. It's a difficult thing to surrender himself, but he manages, fingers unclenching from the comforter and eyes trained on the blue ones staring back at him.

The change in angle earns a soft cry from Albert, just a quiet breath of "ah" into the room. It feels good, especially when he's all the way inside it feels good and Albert tilts his head back with his eyes closed letting himself focus on the feeling of his fiance moving inside him, of how firm but gentle his movements remain. It's the care with which Jet moves that gets Albert near-painfully hard, straining for friction so readily that he quivers and jolts even with Jet's slower movements, spine bowing just a bit off the sheets.

Two hard shoves, both pulling gasps from Albert, and then he's empty. He misses the presence immediately, lifting his head to look with confusion at his partner. He'd thought they'd continue like that, a slow burn to a lazy tumble over the edge, something torturous in its pace but still wonderful and close. He thinks he did something wrong, maybe. That Jet's making good on his threat to leave him unsated, but he can't for the life of him think of what it is.

He shivers and swallows at Jet's light touch of his thigh, twitching as if to move closer to those teasing fingers. "Yes. Why did you stop?"
silberfuchs: (apologetic)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-10-28 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course I do," he just wants. He could feel himself building, slowly, but building nonetheless and then Jet had stopped and... "I was making sure I hadn't done... something..."

He trails off as Jet's fingers and lips caress him, gentle brushes on his sides and legs, rustling the little hairs that pepper his form until his length is held. It's a relief and a tease all at once, Albert shifting in the sheets not to push Jet into more faster but simply because he can't lay still, he wants Jet close and around him, he wants inside Jet or Jet inside him again.

Albert reaches his hand out to brush aside blond hair and at least see his partner, but before he can manage it, Jet slips the head of his cock into his mouth and Albert groans low from the back of his throat with relief and desire.
silberfuchs: (french kiss)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-11-04 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Everything feels so good and looks even better, his length disappearing into Jet's mouth by degrees to Jet's appetite. Albert can't stop the moans and gasps as Jet continues to work at him with his tongue. He feels hot, trembling, and so close to completion and thinks that this has to be Jet's plan, to have him come undone inside his mouth for his partner to taste. The idea alone nearly sets him to the brink but Jet pulls his mouth away just before the crest of his peak and Albert utters a cry at the absence, almost a whimper.

"Damnit..." He says it in a small voice, hand coming up against his forehead as he tries to breathe, tries to hold on to just how close he was and how much further he wanted to go. "Jet-"

The protest is killed under the trample of his moan as Jet all but impales himself on Albert's length, that tongue swirling with his and still tasting of where its been. The German's arms crush Jet against him bodily, lapping at his tongue in turn and holding him there, afraid he'll pull away again and leave Albert shaking helplessly without release.

He bucks his hips up, desperate for friction, desperate to hear Jet's heart beat as fast as his own and feel Jet shake in his grasp, begging bodily for the same completion that Albert seeks from him.
silberfuchs: (legit surprise)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-11-07 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"God, no, that's why I... nggnn..." Frustrated, it takes Albert a significant amount of effort to remove his hands from his fiance, to settle back when his heart is beating its way from his chest and his entire body twitches and aches for them to keep going. But he's trapped, trapped by a promise and by his innate need to please Jet. Which, in this case, means following directions no matter how hungry for his partner he is.

"Alright," he curls his fingers in the bed sheets below him again, this time to keep himself from grabbing Jet instead and trying to take over again. "Alright, just..."

He swallows, a shudder running through him from some minute movement of his partner, perched on his hips as if he belongs there. He does belong there, anywhere around Albert is where he belongs but especially this close, especially when he makes Albert flush red from his neck to his ears and be unable to control himself without a supreme effort.

Silver eyes catch blue, desperate and helpless and hopelessly gone for the sadistic blond in his lap. "Please."
silberfuchs: (apologetic)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-11-09 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
There is always something about Jet being in control that makes Albert feel a little dirty, a little helpless, but in a thrilling way that makes his stomach go in knots, that makes him moan maybe just a little louder, move just a little more hungrily. Jet's utterly intoxicating to him and when his partner decides to use that to his advantage, Albert is left completely, blissfully, helpless.

Where the blond learned to use his hips like that Albert could never guess but he nearly whispers a thank you to whoever's responsible as Jet rolls on him, a wave crashing through the American's form and eroding away what little reserve Albert has left. He fights the undertow for as long as he can, wanting to watch as the water closes over his head. He brings shaking hands to Jet's hips and legs, so careful to only touch and not change anything of Jet's motion. Albert utters a whispery whimper, a little helpless 'oh' as a great quake shakes through him, bringing him so very close. He clutches with his hands then, but it's nothing intentional, and just leaves thumb prints in the blond's thighs.

"Please..." he repeats like a prayer, begging for Jet to grant him release before he shakes apart all on his own.
silberfuchs: (wuh?)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-11-16 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Normally an illicit noise that loud would make Albert shy away, would take something from the moment for him and bring him back to reality, but this time he's right there with his fiance, gasping and quaking, pressing up into his partner just as Jet presses down and with clutching hands and shaking body, release washes over Albert like a wave at high tide, pulling him through tumultuous surf into placid waters beneath.

Bliss. For one, pure, thoughtless moment, there's nothing but bliss.

Then he notices little things. How his breath comes in long gasps to gulp for air, how his legs feel so heavy now after being tense for so long, and how in the dim light of the room from the city's lights through the window outline Jet in neon hues, leaving him a dark shadow in the center.

Carefully, Albert reaches up and presses his palm to the side of Jet's face as he catches his breath, as if he's afraid to break some spell that's been woven there between them. He smiles almost shyly, brushing his thumb against the corner of his lover's mouth. "And where did that come from, hmm?"
silberfuchs: (my Jet)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-11-25 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
"No, not weird," taking advantage of Jet's position next to him, Albert rolls on his side to spoon his lover, nose buried against the back of the blond's neck and his voice a quiet rumble in his chest. "I know you have a mouth on you, I'm just surprised it's taken until now for you to say things like that during sex."

It's almost a chuckle, amused at Jet's sheer embarrassment, but he has to wonder if it's the events in the Arena that brought this out in his partner, if it was the blindness that somehow made him want to talk, that if he'd lost control of the once sense he'd need to keep the others running harder. Albert's not sure of the psychology of it, but he holds his partner just that much closer against him for the thought.

He forces a little chuckle and nuzzles into the short hairs at Jet's nape, not wanting to spoil the mood for his fiance at least, even if he has for himself. "You may have to remind me my name."

A small chuckle escapes Albert for Jet's insult, but it dies quickly as the blond rolls over and fixes him with that piercing blue gaze, determined to get to the bottom of whatever problem Albert is trying to hide. He suddenly doesn't want to tell him, but there's that flicker across Jet's expression when he says 'see right through you' and he decides it can't wait. Albert just prays that it doesn't ruin whatever good mood they'd found.

"I was just thinking," he runs his fingers idly near Jet's temple, down the side of his face. "I've never seen you as frightened as I did in this last arena. I'm worried there are lasting effects."
silberfuchs: (quiet sadness)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-12-08 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"I can't leave it." He doesn't sit up, but Albert does prop himself on his elbow to better look at his fiance. "Jet, for as long as I've known you you've had a lust for life stronger than any force I've ever seen and yet, in there... you asked me to kill you. You were so scared that you would rather die than be sightless."

"I've known you for longer than I haven't at this point, and I've never once seen you just... give up. Not once." His eyebrows furrow in worry and care. "So no. I can't leave it. I can't believe you when you say you're fine, not this time."
silberfuchs: (never let you go)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-12-12 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's my point, Jet. 'It was better to die?' How many times have you told me that it's never better to die?" And he still disagrees sometimes, still feels too old and too tired to want to bother, but that's him. He's always had that creeping around the edges of his consciousness. That isn't Jet. A light source doesn't cast a shadow.

"If you'd been blind, then we'd work with that. I'd take care of you, you know that, and I know you well enough to know that you'd be back on your feet eventually." Albert reaches out, pulling Jet closer to tuck his fiance's head under his chin, trying to bridge the distance that's symbolically spread between them with this conversation. "I would rather have you with me blind than risk losing you entirely."
silberfuchs: (comfort me)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-12-21 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't thank me. I shouldn't have done it." He hates himself a little for it, that he'd felt this way but only now been able to articulate it. That he'd backed off that principle because he'd been afraid of the look on Jet's face.

"But... I knew what you were feeling," he holds Jet tighter but his eyes train on the wall beyond his partner's head and his words murmur softly into blond hair. "Where you don't want to keep living with how things are. I know that feeling too well."

Regret lays heavy on him and he closes his eyes, forehead bowing to press against Jet's and a heavy sigh leaving Albert, making him feel small. "I should have fought it in you too, the way you do for me."
silberfuchs: (catch me if I fall)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-12-26 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a little smile on Albert's face at the kiss. It's small and a little sad, sympathetic in a way that's settled and infinite. He knows. He knows this from both sides because he's lived both sides now. The one with faith, the one without. It's bottomless where Jet is concerned. It doesn't mean they're not afraid, it simply means that they have faith that whatever comes, they'll weather it together.

And that's all Albert needs to know.

He keeps Jet close as he readjusts, getting more comfortable and pulling the sheets over them to shield their rest. It's been an exhausting day despite his only just having woken up, but these sorts of things - their intimacy and the further, different sort after - takes its toll, especially on an old man, and Albert's content to fall back asleep with his fiance firmly ensconced in his arms.

Ich liebe dich he thinks, and it comes out in English softly against golden hair, gently murmured into the only ears that need to hear it. "No matter what shape you're in."
