Slow burn
By: Inkglitched Date: February 24, 2026, 6:25 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Enon made a deep sigh, after a stressful time of finally getting
Eden’s mates in- he couldn’t find himself comfortable - as it
would now be cramped with a whole another family in his home..
he knew he’d go for meals but he officially needed to think of
where to live.. he flopped on the furs Aziz had - being he
offered for the man to stay.”god- I never thought my sister
would end up with such a mates like that.” Said the man.”but..
least they will stick with her.” He said to roll on his back.
——
“You sure you’re fine with me staying here?” He asked Aziz even
though he clearly had made himself at home.. as if he was meant
to be there anyway.It had been a good ten-day since Aziz and
Enon had found Eden's mates and tribe and brought them to the
oasis. With the return of Ezra the oasis was thriving again,
water flowing the way it was meant to. Aziz was working on his
daily bread related chores far later into the morning than he
was used to. It was rather thankless work to make sure there was
enough grain and bread to go around.
He finished his last batch to lay out in the grass with a heavy
sigh. The idea of asking Enon for his help briefly flickered
across his mind, the idea of baking together quite enticing. He
then got up and got his tent ready for Enon to stay with him.
He gave the man a grin when the man arrived, watching him flop
down onto the bed of furs. "Well... We had already briefly
talked about moving in together... It might be a but sudden but
given recent events I thought it best you stay over sooner...
when... you are ready, could fully move you in," Aziz suggested
with a dark blush.
——
“True.. mean it’s more roomy here.. and.. can enjoy you..” said
Enon with a blush matching Aziz. The idea of fully moving in
with the blonde had been on his mind. He didn’t know how to tell
Elior or his sister.. given things he had been hounded by
others. He also felt this would get some people off his back
asking if he was planning on being attatched. He made a
sigh.”this is really comfortable.. you know what it’ll make it
more comfy?” He asked as Aziz would get close enough to yank him
down and on him.”there.. now I’m real comfy.” He said with a
smirk he couldn’t help. It helped that Aziz was a private person
and picked the one spot everyone avoided.. it provided the
privacy in enjoying his time with Aziz.It appeared Enon was just
as flustered despite his words as the man's face was just as red
as Aziz. The notion having Aziz chuckle a little. The blonde was
fussing around the place before walking closer to Enon when he
seemed to have a suggestion to make things more comfortable.
"Hm? What is that?" He questioned before he was pulled down.
A sound of surprise left Aziz at the pull and his cheeks turning
even more red being so close to the stunning redhead. The blush
getting even deeper when the man claim, *now* he was comfy.
"I swear your always trying to get me flustered," he accused
before a thought came to mind. They were truly alone, and Enon
was the closest person to him in his life, even if he didn't
like him as more than friends, he felt now was the right time as
his hand reached up and pulled the tie that help his eye
covering over to pull it loose and revealed his golden eyes
that's glow seemed to mimic the rolling sands. "There now I'm
all comfy," he teased with a smirk.“Not my fault you’re so easy
to…” said Enon before his head would move to the side as if
talking to himself though- clearly not being quiet.”..and fun
to.”
It was at the moment he felt movement to look over and saw that
the man was untying his mask. His breath caught a little at what
he did.
Aziz’s eyes were a stunning feel of endless desert frozen in
time of a sunny day. Least to him it felt like it.
Enon gently grabbed the man’s hand and put it on his own
dangling strap.”go ahead..” he said in a sweet tone.”pull it.”
He would feel the tug and the soft slip of his cerulean mask,
his eyes- while not as vivid as ends.. would shine like the red
dawn.
Staring into those golden globes of Aziz.. couldn’t help but
draw in… and a soft kiss would happen. It felt intimate and
loving for the man… almost losing himself in the way he felt the
man would be to him.
Enon.. realizing what he did would blush and draw back.”sorry..”
he said and blushed more at what he had done.”I.. just…. Really
do love you…” finally slid out.
They had been together since they were kids.. and became friends
after a fist fight. But the past two years Enon felt a flicker
of a crush that kept growing until a point where he couldn’t
hold it in anymore.
—fin—The blush got even deeper when Enon took Aziz's hand to go
to the well secured tie, hearing the redheads permission to take
it off. He easily obliged as he let the cover fall away once it
was untied, gazing into those gorgeous blazing red eyes. The
morning sun in the desert, magnificent and awe inspiring.
A moment later, Enon's lips were on his own, the blonde gently
returning to kiss. A smirk came to his lips seeing the redhead
so flustered. Then his eyes widened in shock hearing the man's
confession.
A gentle smile came to his lips, "you dont need to apologize...
I really love you too," Aziz confessed, closing the distance
between their lips again to give the man a *much* deeper kiss.
He had dreamed about kissing the man under him like this for far
too long.
---fin---Enon felt a smile cross his face.. hearing those words
from Aziz.. felt comforting to know he felt the same.
His mouth felt the lips of Aziz coming on to a more passionate
kiss, his hands ran up Aziz’s slender build. The sounds of their
gasps and kissing filled the quiet of the tent.
He couldn’t get enough of Aziz as his mouth got a bit more
aggressive. He paused to catch his breath.”swear Aziz keep doing
that your gonna send me over the edge..” he said in a husky
needy tone.
—fin—The silence of their tent was filled with the sounds of
their passionate make out session, a groan escaping Aziz when
Enon got more aggressive causing a pause in the both if them.
The blonde panted softly as he gazed into Enon's glowing red
orbs.
"Then we best find something else to occupy us... I... would...
like us to be mates before we... go farther..." He explained
with a *very* deep blush at such an admittance. He had never
laid with anyone, and wanted the one to take his virginity to be
his mate. Whole he was very sure he and Enon would become mates,
he felt it would be that much sweeter if they let the desire
build up until the night of their ceremony.
"I do have dough I need to prepare for baking later... could
help me with that..." He suggested almost shyly.
---fin--“Agreed..” said Enon with a smile to kiss him one last
time, a lingering one of want. “Let’s go finish the bread.” He
said with a smile before he would move. He could hear the
bustling of the people a ways from Aziz’s place. There was talk
of a party with the two now back- granted some already showed
disdain from
Having to keep the fae kind.
“Especially when we got more people now- maybe we can see about
having more help around the place.” He said as he went to help
the man gather water for the bread.
—fin—That last kiss lingered on Aziz's lips as Enon pulled away,
the pair reapplying their eye covers before going about
gathering water for the dough. A less fluttering conversion
starting as they entered a more public settling.
"It probably wouldn't hurt, though I would have to see the
quality of the bread they make, I'll be damned if anything but
top quality is served around here...." He huffed. "I wouldn't
mind showing you how to make it though, I'm not that great of a
teacher," he mused with a smirk.
---fin---
Enon gave a chuckle at aziz’s need for the best friend.”it
wouldn’t hurt to teach them hm? It’s not like your exploding
things- “ he said as he walked with the man. His masked eyes
noticed a child near the water to fall in. He couldn’t help it
but rush over to scoop the kid out, he saw the wings.. while he
would show ire to the adults- kids were different for him.”hey
now.. it’s alright.. you just got a little scared.” He said to
set the child on his feet.”you should stay near the adults
alright..” he warned a bit to see the kid rush off to sigh.
He never knew Eden to be stubborn.. it felt like both sides had
won and lost at the same time.
He turned back to get the jar of water and carried it with the
man.”how many you aiming for today?” He asked as they walked.
—fin-"I suppose it wouldn't hurt..." Aziz reluctantly agreed
before watching Enon save the fae child. A smile coming to his
lips at how gentle the man was with the kid before they were
hauling their jugs of water back to Aziz's camp. "Going for a
hundred loafs to try and make sure everyone has something to
fill their bellies, they got some giants within the newcomers."
The blonde complained as he used his Tuning once they had
everything to mix it all together before getting started
grabbing globs from the massive mound if dough and started to
kneed them before setting them out to rise.
---fin---
Enon chuckled.”least I have that..” he joked to blush a bit when
he felt Aziz behind him guiding him. The flour hands massaging
the dough made his mind go places before he heard Aziz talking
to blush more.. the hot breath against his ear causing a mild
groan.
The contact was nice, and he knew.. he wanted to mate this man..
“so like this?” He questioned as he mimicked Aziz to smile at
him.
—fin—
The groan out of Enon had Aziz smirking wide, "Yeah, just like
that," he murmered before stealing a kiss from those smiling
lips before he pulled away, getting to work on the next loaf.
Soon, with a bit more direction from Aziz, the pair were
cranking out kneeded dough that would then be put in a bowl and
a damp towel draped over it to let the dough rise. By the time
they got it all finished, it was time for the second round of
kneeding and shaping the dough before getting it ready to be put
on the fire.

---------------------------------------------------------
Enon felt the kiss of the man to make a smile. He helped get
the rest of the bread kneaded to start baking them. The smell of
the bread reaching his nose.”swear Aziz you are the best baker..
no one will ever beat that..” he said with a smile. His masked
face may of not moved but he was peering at the man.. wondering
how he’d get things arranged.. “Aziz.. I was wondering.. what’s
your favorite color?” He asked as he worked.
——-
"Baker, Bomb maker, amazing fighter, my talents are endless,"
Aziz joked before a quizzical look cane to his expression at
Enon's question. "Red, like your hair, and those stunning eyes
of yours," Aziz mused flirtasiously, a rare moment where he felt
comfortable enough to openly flirt.
——
Enon blushed hotly at being told the favorite color being red.
“Swear Aziz.. “ he said to chuckle a bit.”I was wondering
because well.. if we are going to be mates soon.. I wanted to
make some masks. So if that’s the case.. I’ll make my gold..
like your hair.” He said with a soft smile.”think honestly it’s
time I connect with my lover.. I can see my sibs anytime..” he
said with a soft smile. “Maybe I can stitch us a proper symbol
too..” he mused softly as he worked with him.
—fin—
Seeing Enon blush had Aziz smirking before it was his turn to
blush like crazy hearing the man speaking of becoming mates
soon, connecting, and even stitching a proper symbol for them.
"How soon are you thinking you might want us mated?" He
questioned, his heart beating quite hard as he put his anxiety
into preparing the bread and dough.
---fin---
Enon was busy working in thought, hearing Aziz about asking
about the when. He saw how his movements picked up for the bread
a bit.”mmmm..the masks will take a little bit so maybe a week?”
Enon thought.”U…unless that’s far too fast?” He asked pausing a
bit as his ears matched the color of his hair wondering if he
had messed up.
—fin—
Hearing that Enon was thinking their ceremony could be only a
week away had Aziz pausing, especially when Enon seemed to
backtrack with concern of it being too fast.
"It... is a bit fast... I only worry that you might put too much
pressure on yourself to get things ready... but... I think we
have taken our time for long enough..." Aziz said, mildly
working out his anxiety over the situation in his words, sealing
in the resolve that the blonde needed to go through with this.
—-
“Well mean..it’s not the pressure of getting things ready.. I
just.. I know what I want now and it’s you.” Said Enon. “And
you’re right.. your like the sun to me and I just can’t seem to
get away from you- makes sense I make it official.” Said Enon
with a blush.
——
"Then I seen no reason to wait... I want you too, I... love
you... my sunrise, " Aziz said with a smile as an anxious
excitement filled him. He and Enon were going to be mates in a
week's time.
"Are you wanting to do a small ceremony? I know a few people who
might riot if we just did family." Azis questioned with a
chuckle.
"Plus, you are a village leader like Elior, you deserve a
ceremony worthy of your station," he added.
——
Enon smiled softly to blush a bit more at the compliment. “Nah
bigger the better and the more they’ll be off my back.” He said
with a chuckle. “Plus honestly.. my triplets are back so- it’ll
be amazing to have them there to see me tie the knot with you… “
he said with a smile.
“Means you’re gonna be an official uncle too..” Enon said with a
chuckle a bit. The idea of Aziz and him being such close family
made him smile.
—fin—
"It is a moment to celebrate, you will be asking Elior to be the
celebrant? Could probably include Ezma and Eden and End as
well." He mused before a look of realization hit him.
"Oh no, Eden is going to hound me about the exposive after isn't
she?" He questioned with a groan as they got the last of the
bread baking.
——
“I am- he knows the words best and well- Ezra has to learn them
being guardian- be a good time to.” He said as he finished off
getting the next batch of bread out.
He heard the next question to start laughing.”you know she is-
found it hilarious a little how excited she got- never knew eden
would go that hard for tuning.” He said to chuckle.
“I’ll try to distract her when she starts her shit- but if I
know her- and if she’s anything like Ezma if she ain’t taught
she will try it herself.” He said with a deep sigh.
—fin—
"I suppose it would be better if I prepared myself for training
her than waiting...." Aziz said eith another sigh but a smile
soon playing on his lips. "I suppose I did say it is a family
secret and... she will be family," he mused to take a seat on a
stone that had been purposed as a seat for when he made bread.
"Wouldn't want my sister to blow herself up," he teased. "Gosh
if I teach Eden Emza will be up my ass about training her too...
you are lucky I love you," he said giving his future mate a
look. Soon the last of the bread was pulled from the fire. "Want
to sample this last loaf with me?" He questioned as he unrapped
it and took a nice long smell of the fresh bread.
——
Enon chuckled a bit.”accepting your fate now?“he joked a bjt.
He went to sit by Enon to laugh a bit.”I love you too- I know my
sisters are handfuls.” He said with a chuckle.
“Sounds good to me!” He said as he sat down to smell the fresh
bread.”can’t wait.. it’s definitely drool worthy.” He said with
a smile. He saw how Aziz torn a bit off to snag it with his
mouth. “Mmm.. now that’s good…” he said to tear another peice
off to offer it.”now say ahhhh.” He said with a smirk.
—fin—
"What other choice do I have but to accept it?" Aziz questioned
with a chuckle. A pout coming to his lips when Enon stole his
bite of bread before smirking at the offered bite, being a bit
extra in nipping the man's finger as he took to morsal quite
sensually.
"My bread is always good," he corrected with a smirk.
---fin---
A chuckle left Aziz as he kissed the man's bitten finger. "You
deserved it," he teased before pulling off another piece to put
it in Enon's mouth. Soon the tender moment would be ruined as
people began to drop by to ask when the bread would be ready,
prompting a groan from Aziz before he hauled the loaves down to
where the food was rationed out and put his bread on the table.
His mind on finally making it official with Enon.
Of course, the usual question was posed as Aziz handed out
bread.
"When are you and Enon finally going to make it offical?" Was
the question. A blush coming to his cheeks as he glanced at
Enon.
---fin---
Enon gave a chuckle as he handed it out.”Swear you guys just
won’t shut up..” he said in a tone. “A week.. if you have to
know.. just know though try to not bug Aziz- I wanted him well
rested for the week for the wedding night.” He teased to earn
laughter to give a small smirk at Aziz.
—fin—
Hearing Enon already telling people of when their ceremony would
be, he couldn't help but go *very* red but made no protest as
the news spread like wildfire.
"Don't think you should have told your siblings first?" He
questioned.
---fin---
“No.. this is way more fun.” Said Enon with a smirk. “Plus
honestly- if I told end she would have been at your front door
already.” He said as he reminded Aziz of his earlier
conversation.
—fin—
A chuckle left Aziz as he shook his head. "If you say so, have a
feeling it makes your siblings more likely to show up
unannounced," he said as the bread was slowly distributed.
"I suppose we should begin making arrangements if we will have a
ceremony as big as you are wanting in just a week..." He said as
they headed back to his tent. "Need music, food, decorations..."
He began to list, realizing just how much they needed to get
ready.
---fin---
“Oh I predict two might- Ezra is way more chill and Elior might
just end up asking me if he sees me.” He said but the two pint
sized females? Probably.” He said to chuckle. “I know it’s a
lot- don’t worry about all the food- people can cook around
here- but I know your gonna want to be involved with anything
requiring baking- Nabil should know people- was considering
asking him to give me a hand with that- since he and Elior are
close.” He told the man as he heed and hawwed.”I know Eden knows
some crafty ones for decorations.. I do hear Eden’s female
friend does clothes real well-might ask her nicely if she could
help me make some necessary wedding garb.” He said with a
thought.
—fin—
"I'll have to get the ingredients for a cake," Aziz murmered
already mentally delving into all the things that were to be
done. "Let me know about the ceremonial garb, hopefully Eden's
friend will be willing to help with it..." He muttered.
Over the next several days, in the lead up to the ceremony, Aziz
was remaining constantly busy with preparation, the details
getting to the very detail obsessed man.
Being only days away now, Aziz was wearing himself thin as he
fussed over getting the cake made while fussing over decorations
he was making while working on his own secret project on top of
everything. It caused the two men to hardly see eachother.
---fin---
“For sure!” Said Enon to smile before things would get busy.
Getting everything ready was enough distraction for Enon. He
managed to get the clothing going with Eden’s help- Twyla not
minding in the least. Once there were sketches of what they
wanted began to do the work, she fussed as she asked the man to
let Aziz know she needed to see him to make final adjustments-
Eden being the ever helpful sister and in law went and dragged
Aziz for the adjustments to let him go after. It was the day of
the ceremony. As fussing would be apparent and decorations put
up. Eden had come in to see him fussing over the cake.”you about
done? You need to get ready soon- “ she said her hand on her
hip.”the cake looks good enough to eat.” She said looking at the
future in law with the widest smile.
—fin—
"Good enough and perfect are not the same," Aziz huffed before
letting out a long sigh knowing it was never going to be up to
his own standards by the time he was scheduled to attend the
ceremony.
"I suppose I should get ready," he relented as he fixed once
last part before pulling himself away to get cleaned up and
dressed. "I should have told Enon a week wasn't enough time to
prepare..." He complained as he went about working in getting
himself presentable, though he couldn't seem to get himself
looking how he wanted, fussing over every little detail wanting
everything to be perfect for his soon to be mate.
Soon enough, with barely enough time to get to the ceremony,
Aziz finally came out of the room dressed. "Can you help me? I
can't get this to lay right... I have half a mind to just
reschedule everything," the mortally collect Aziz lamated out of
stress to Eden.
---fin---

---------------------------------------------------------
Eden gave a chuckle at Aziz. Seeing her triplet and Aziz
together was clear the two were attached for a long time. “Mmhm”
she said a she would watch him walk off.”now now- week is
enough- mean I fucked my mates and we hadn’t had a…” she paused.
A nudge of sadness came in realizing .. even if she wanted this…
it wouldn’t be without skoll. She pushed down how she felt to
smile a bit.”hey going and get ready.” She said adjusting her
top. She wasn’t use to wearing nice things, her outfit made-
making her seem almost royal.
She was messing with her hair during the wait to hear the man
fuss about making something laying right.”Adan! Come help!” She
called. She figured him being a noble in the fae court would be
more beneficial in helping Aziz.
Eden gave a tender smile.”now now- no need to do that- Enon is
looking forward to being mates with you.. after all of this..
it’ll be just you and him- bonded in front of the gods of stone
and nature all around- a timeless love.” She said softly.
“Now sit still so Adan can fix that part- I’ll get this one to
do what it’s suppose to.” She said as she fidgeted a bit her
masked eyes running over what she was doing.
—fin—Adan had finished getting himself and Snow ready for the
upcoming ceremony. As one of Eden's mates, Elior had insisted
they both be there. Adan had agreed, though hoped that Enon
wouldn't be offended. As of yet, the guy hadn't really warmed up
to him. Not that he took it personally.
Hearing Eden call out for him to help he headed over to Aziz's
tent and slipped inside to find out what she needed help with.
He caught the last bit of what Eden had told Aziz about being
bonded in front of the god. There seemed to be an almost
wistfulness in her voice, making him wonder if she might have
the desire to be bonded herself.
"All right, let me see what's going on with this collar," he
said and moved in to fix the layered clothing so it looked
right. "There, that's better. Is there anything else I can do to
help?" He asked gently as he stepped back and brushed some hairs
off the arms of the shirt.
——
With Eden's words, Aziz took a steadying breath as he let her
and and fae work on getting his garments to look the way they
were meant to, Aziz having *several* more adjustments he needed
help with before he finally felt presentable.
"Thank you for your help, I... I think I'm ready," he said as he
gave himself one last look over before they left the tent,
heading to where Enon and the rest of their tribe would be
waiting.
The blonde's heart was pounding in his chest as he waited for
his que to walk up to the alter for the bonding ceremony.
---fin---
Eden gave her soft smile, “almost!” She said to get a box to
open the gift that Enon had worked on so hard. She would walk
over.”close your eyes.” She instructed as the old eye band would
slide off and a red one would replace it. She used his older one
to tie on his arm as a sign of where he had come from.
Once done she saw the man head off to let a breath of her own
off.”come on Adan.. you need to stand with me and snow.” She
said with a soft smile her arms going around the fae man.”too
bad I can’t just strip you.” She would tease before taking his
hand to lead him to where they needed to be.
The ceremony wouldn’t look it to those outside of their own..
while they dressed nice- they sat where they could see.. stained
glass shards set up in such a way to reflect the light, the blue
fabric wounded around to represent the winds.. torches at the
side of the alter in front of the large apple tree.
People sat on rocks, in trees and where they could. While those
that didn’t know would have formally sat like they would have in
a building. Eden got the men settled to settle sitting between
them.
Her eyes traveled to Enon who stood there nervously. She
chuckled at how he was, his bare chest shown off, the mark of
their people in the middle of his back. His pants were a deep
black with a gold- orange and red sash around it. He was
representing his element he loved so dearly. His head moved at
the sound of feet to see His lover.
The ceremony would have Aziz stop by Enon and the join of their
hands. There were words spoken of how the hero was first made
and her commitment to protecting the people was a vow of her
devotion.
Eden listened to the words - wondering if she was the hero
coming back- why she couldn’t remember such things. The most she
was told is that memories were there.. but buried deep within.
Her head moved some as she saw their hands were firmly in place,
a true sign of unity.>>
^^^^
Once the words stopped was there silence- that was when the
music started to play thanks to nabil- as Enon began to sing
his vows.
It was a custom to do so- it was an expression of his love to
Aziz.
*Life in time,
with you by my side,
Your heart will be all mine,
I just took my time.
I want you to be with me,..
For all eternity,
Even when it’s all to end.
Aziz I’m all designed-
to be by your side,
I won’t try to hide
So I vow to be true, eternally to you!*
Eden listened to the song - it certainly was one that was woven
out of love- she wondered just how long he sat on that song-
seeing the paper during the planning and worn.
Aziz would follow with his own affirmation and vows.. and would
end in a blissful kiss. The sight of it breathtaking. A soft
roll of the earth below their feet would be apparent- a few
shocked looks as Elior would proclaim that was the gods
acceptance of their bond.
Once it was done would Elior would unwrap their hands with
parting words.
“Even though we are apart.. like the wind and lands and sea-may
your love that was formed over time such as the earth was made,
or how the sand was eroded from rock -always be remembered and
never forgotten.”
Eden felt a painful catch in her throat as she thought of
skolll.
The feel of the winds starting to move by the wind tuners as
flowers were scattered about.
“Now let’s celebrate!” Eden said popping out.”now I can learn
that boom thing.” She joked to earn laughter and a side eye of
her brother Ezra.
“Course after their mating night.” She teased before people
began to break things up to get the food out and music playing.
Enon finished chuckling.”that was amazing.. not bad for a
week.. is it?” He asked with his hand going in Aziz’s.
—fin—
When instructed, Aziz closed his eyes and let Eden change out
his eye covering for the one Enon had made for him. With his
proper garments on, he truly felt ready. Even still, seeing Enon
waiting for him as music began to play was magical feeling and
took his breath away.
All the eyes on them didn't matter with Enon's hands in his own
as their hands were bound together. Aziz's cheeks blushing red
as Elior spoke and even darker when Enon began to sing his vows.
Then, it was the blonde's turn.
*With each passing sunrise
My passion for you grows.
The warmth your flame brings.
The love we share will only burn brighter until our last breath.
My love.
My heart is yours, our bond true.*
He sang before the pair would share a kiss before the gods and
everyone, the earth itself rumbling in joy when they parted,
Aziz gave a wide smirk, as when his hands were free, he used his
Tuning to set off a symphony of fireworks, pulling Enon into
another, much deeper kiss. Aziz had never felt so happy in his
life.
---fin---
Eden watched in awe of the fire works- a temporary diversion for
what she felt inside. Her body that was relaxed was more at
attention.. a behavior she had since she was young. Things like
this would cause her to still as she admired the work with a
smile that was unlike any other smile.
Enon saw the fireworks to give a chuckle before he’d feel a pull
to the deepest kiss. His hands ran down the man’s back. Even
with all the noise and music… the world felt frozen.. like a
painting in a moment.
“I love you.. Aziz… my mate..” he murmured against his ear. He
would draw him to go enjoy some food, to see Eden being gently
notified to see her get up, and walk off. He knew she was a new
mother- and still held them above all.
The party went into full swing, the booze and food flowed
freely. His body pressed ever the closer to Aziz no longer shy
about showing his attachment- but the very intimate would be for
the night.
People saying their congratulations- their happiness and glad
they finally ‘did’ it.
After all was said and done- the two would make their way to
their home.. their.. it sounded so nice thinking it..least for
Enon.
Their passion would change into something- more- Enon couldn’t
help but kiss the man the moment they were outside the tent.
All that pent up want for Aziz- all that courting was well worth
it. And now? He wanted to make love in the worst way. Hands
would grope where they could.
“I want you Aziz.. right now..” he said in a tone that showed
his dominance.
“Please..” his heated words would sink in like a the heat of the
sun boring down on a plant that thirsted for water.
The two would get inside and his hands began to be careful with
the outfit- but his anticipation was oozing from how his mouth
would hold, he tugged his mask off as his ruby reds would glow
hotly- like an ember in a fire to capture Aziz’s mouth in a
heated way taking a real taste of the man to explore his
mouth.>>>
^^^^
He ran it along the roof of the mouth to gain a reaction-
knowing full well how sensitive it was. Once he got a sound he
wanted his hands would slide to the man’s mask for a soft tug of
permission- wanting badly to see those golden eyes glowing and
the expression it possibly would be holding behind that mask.
Cause clearly through the kissing and the touches both could
practically hear their desires from each other from the noises
alone.
But *nothing* compared to a pure expression of love and sex in a
single look that he desired to see and was holding himself.
He was set aflame with desire once he got his permission to tug
the mask that matched his own hair. Sliding off to see the most
wonderous sight of his golden globes.. not just that- but the
golden dust that was his aura.. he was his light in his
darkness.. his golden sun.
His hands would wander down to find the man as hard as he was..
as he asked..”me first or you first.. “ he simply asked as if he
wanted to know if he wanted to be filled or if he wanted to fill
him- either way they would be doing both if he had it his way.
He planned on claiming Aziz in his entirety- making damn well
sure that Aziz knows just how much Enon loved him.’
——-
Meanwhile.. for Eden- she never went back to the party.
She came and asked the ladies to get their fill of food-
thanking them for watching her children as she said it would be
some time. To at least enjoy the people and the food.
Once they left and her shutting the door that was made out of
wood of a tree placed her hand on the thing. She asked her mates
to get their fill and bring her a plate later-. reality was-she
was taking a silent moment.
She took care of her fussing children managing to get them
asleep.. once she finished and cleaned them up.. she sat on the
furs.
She wanted to celebrate for Enon, but for some reason the ache
in her own heart would be felt.
The sight of that beautiful ceremony.. the deep love she saw..
she couldn’t stop thinking about their missing mate.
It made it hard to continue to hold that smile.
—fin—
Even with the noise and festivities all around, all Aziz could
focus on was his new mate. Nothing else even existed in the
perfect moment as Enon affirmed his love for the blonde against
his ear. "I love you more," Aziz teased before the party really
went into full swing as Aziz was dragged off for food and booze.
The usually reserved man letting loose for one night, his body
pressed against Enon's as the man was practically glued to him.
The blonde rouge barely paid any attention to those making their
comments and accepted the congratulations with thanks. As much
fun as the celebration was, the real celebration of their love
was yet to be preformed.
A fresh nervous excitement filled Aziz as they approached their
home. Those feelings quelled when Enon pulled him into a
passionately intense kiss. The man's hands touching Aziz in a
way they had never been allowed to before and it had the blonde
practically melting. This long wait, all of this courting,
culminating to this.
A shiver ran through him hearing Enon's demand, "Then you shall
have me, I want you too," he admitted with a deep blush at how
the man's demand had turned into a beg. The passion and heat
wafting off of Enon was practically overwhelming any hold backs
Aziz might had had.
They barely made it inside before the redhead was undressing
them both, with a little help, they were nearly ready for more
intimate activities. The want and pent up desire oozing from
Enon, *Especially* when the man finally fully revealed himself
and bore into his souk with theose burning red eyes. It was
entrancing. Aziz gladly kissed his mate back as they explored
eacother's mouthed before Enon managed to get a moan out of
Aziz. When he felt the tug on his mask, the blonde nodded.
Staring lovingly desire into Enon's red orbs when they were
revealed.
A fresh moan escaped Aziz when Enon's hand found perch on his
throbbing member. "Me first, I want to *feel* that passion
behind your eyes," Aziz answered readily.
"It will give me a better idea of what you... want me to do to
you," he added blushing quite dark.
---fin---
“Alright.. I’ll be gentle for now..” said Enon with a smirk as
his hands traveled to places. They would be light and fluttery-
to the point of teasing Aziz’s skin. His fingers traced the
blonde man’s jawline, he dipped down between the man’s legs and
began to prepare him to be filled. He soaked his fingers to
stretch the man being mindful of when he was told it was too
much. He was careful and took his time before he would fill him
slowly.
He groaned hotly as he filled Aziz to look at the man below.”god
your beautiful Aziz.. better than any dream I’ve ever had..” he
moaned. He leaned over to capture his lips.
His hips would start slowly as he let Aziz get use to him, he
looked at the man he loved so much.. and finally having each
other- was something he looked forward to for so long.
— fin—
A promise to be gentle to start had Aziz nodding in agreement
before he felt those teasing hands roam over his body, trailing
his jaw before they found sensitive areas and finally working on
getting his body ready for Enon. At first, he wasn't sure he
liked how it felt, at least not until his mate managed to graze
a particular spot inside of Aziz getting a *needy* moan out of
him.
It felt like ages before Enon deemed his ready and the blonde
finally felt the redhead fill him with his massive member.
"Enon!" He gasped out, clinging to his mate as his body
adjusted. It took a long moment before Aziz was ready for more
but soon he was ready and his mate began to move illiciting more
moans from him, *especially* when the man hit that perfect spot.
Coming unraveled, he couldn't wait any long. "Don't hold back,
claim me my mate," he told his lover, pulling him into a steamy
kiss as his hips rocked against Enon's wanting more.
---fin---
Enon heard his name to enjoying Aziz’s clinging- his body moved
in a rhythm to hear his lover asking him to not hold back, his
hips driving into the man hard and deep. The gasps the gropes
and steamy passion would fill the tent. Enon felt connected to
his mate as he claimed the man’s needy hole and occupying Aziz’s
mouth with his own.
How he enjoyed every soft touch and minute. His eyes glowing as
intensely as his lovers as he was nearing his end.
He came hard to lean against the man sweaty and smiling.. his
hips moving slowly enjoying the draw out of that good feeling.
——
Feeling Enon let loose had Aziz a right moaning mess as his mate
mouth as the man claimed him, being his first time with anyone,
he was already cumming rather quickly, coating them both as his
body was *ravaged*. By the time Enon filled him, Aziz had
spilled another two times over and was already hard again. His
eyes blazing bright as he gazed into those burning sunrises.
His blissed out expression turning to a smirk when Enon finally
slowed. "My turn," he purred before quickly flipping them over.
The blonde rode his mate for a moment as he made out with him
before fully pulling off his mate before pinning his lover's
legs back to take a *long* awaited taste of his mate's hole.
Soon adding fingers, taking his time getting his mate ready
until the man was begging for him.
---fin---
Enon was taking a moment before they would flip, of course he
wouldn’t be suprised- the man was about agressive as he was. He
made soft noises at the during their mouths enjoying each other
before he’d pull away.
Enon frowned a little before realizing it was his turn. The
teasing, the soft touches.. feeling himself being stretched.
“Aziz!” He moaned hotly.”fuck me now please!” He pleaded, his
hips giving a really hard rock of need to look back at the man’s
glowing ones.
—fin—
Hearing Enon's plea along with the needy rock of the redheads
hips had Aziz smirking as he pulled his tounge away and pushed
his fingers in deeper as he gave his mate a rather wicked smirk.
"I want you to beg," Aziz purred in a sultry tone, loving the
expression that came to Enon's face as the man's desperation
grew. After a little more pleading and begging, Aziz got himself
oiled up before slowly pressing into his mate, moaning hotly at
just got tight the man was.
"You feel incredible..." He moaned out as he tried his best to
hold still as the man adjusted. His hips slowly rocking forward
when given permission to move.
—fin—
Enon felt the fingers go in deeper and groaned hotly. The wicked
smile burning in his mind- that looked damn hot- and hearing
those words!
“Come on Aziz.. he groaned before the continued teasing would be
met with begging,
When it was finally coming his breath hitched at the fill. He
never thought this was how it would feel. “God damn…” he moaned
hotly.”move please..” he asked to feel it met with the answer he
wanted. The sensation of his insides getting one hell of a
massage to him made him melt under Aziz’s care.”gods… keep that
up…” he moaned as he enjoyed the feeling to pull the man down in
a hot kiss.
—fin—
The reaction Aziz got out of Enon had the man wrapping his arms
around his mate as they made out, making love to the man as his
hips steadily and slowly thrusted forward. The idea he got to do
this with his lover, to be so truly vulnerable with eachother.
The a long while would be spent making slow sweet love as Aziz
enjoyed his mate. Imprinting this night on his mind for
eternity.
It was when he moved Enon onto his hands and knees that he
really let loose, plowing into his mate from behind.
---fin---
Enon felt the man wrapping his arms around him- embracing him
gently as he felt the love around hjm.
This sort of vulnerability- was something he craved. Knowing
each other through and through. He saw his life with this
man..maybe even adopting some children if Aziz was up to it.
He felt the movement for a turn as skin slapped skin, the
pleasure shutting out any sort of thought that came to mind.
It would be several long hours of lovemaking till they would
finally settle on the furs- in a loving embrace he cherished
most.
“Aziz.. I hope when I wake up..” he said softly.”that this is no
mere dream…” he said softly. “Cause I feel that I managed to
have you in my life the way I wanted.. “ he kissed the man’s
forehead and let a soft breath out.
He felt relaxed and the soft caressing he felt as well as
caressing the man’s arm.. would lull to a deep sleep that would
continue until the sun was full in the sky.
—fin—
Truly satisfied, Aziz laid there, snuggled up against Enon in a
way he had never thought he would be willing to be with anyone.
A gentle smile came to his lips hearing his mate say he hoped
this was no dream. A blush coming to the blonde's cheeks as he
snuggled closer.
"This is no dream," he reassured as he watched the man in his
arms fall asleep, following shortly after. It wasn't until
shorty before dawn that Aziz would slip out of the man's arms to
get started on his morning chore of making bread for everyone.
---fin---
Enon woke with a start, his body shifting on the furs to slide
up. The smell of baking bread wafted into the tent greeting him
like a smile. He grabbed his mask to
Tie it on, the soft gold like fabric covering his eyes.. before
he would start to dress. He dressed lightly as he could feel the
heat through the tent.”that’s what I get for sleeping in.” He
groaned to himself.
He felt sore not that he minded it- it grounded him that
everything surely wasn’t a dream.
He came in to come up behind Aziz.”hard at work I see..” he said
to shift the man’s long hair and hair ties that dangled to the
side to kiss his neck.”good morning..” he cooed softly.
—fin—

---------------------------------------------------------
A deep blush colored Aziz's cheeks when he felt Enon come up
behind him and move the long blonde hair out of the way before
feeling the man's lips getting a shiver out of him.
"Always," mused Aziz as he leaned into his mate's arms. The idea
of them *finally* being official having him blush more. This was
going to take getting used to.
"Morning yourself sunshine," he teased as he finished the dough
he was working on, covering it and putting it to the side before
he turned in his mate's arms. "How did you sleep?" He
questioned, kissing Enon lovingly.
—-
“Long and hard- like how you rode me.” He teased Aziz. He kissed
back softly.”want any help with the bread?” He asked as he
moved.. he knew they’d need help at some point.. as to the who
would be tough- but with how Eden was adamant on helping
everyone- he couldn’t help but tone down with his attitude
toward the fae.
—fin—
The blush on Aziz's cheeks didn't get any better at Enon's idea
of 'helping' him, his body reacting *strongly* to his mate's
teasing. "I...I'm considering it... would... give me more free
time," he answered, his legs already going weak from the man
pressed against him.
When the last roll was put to proof, Aziz was quick to knock
Enon onto his back before pinning the man to the ground and
kissing him deeply.
-fin-
Enon made a smirk at how flustered Aziz sounded. He loved how he
made his mate feel- course the man getting knocked back and
started to kiss was earning a groan. “Ready for more?” He said
in a sexy tone to give a light buck of his hips.
—
A shiver ran through Aziz at the buck of Enon's hips and words.
"Yes..." the blonde admitted giving the man a good nip to the
neck. "Can't get enough of you..." He admitted.
—
“Nor I you.” Said Enon as his hands went in the man’s shirt to
begin h dressing him. “Can I take you now?” He said as he nipped
back at the man’s jawline.
—
“Nor I you.” Said Enon as his hands went in the man’s shirt to
begin h dressing him. “Can I take you now?” He said as he nipped
back at the man’s jawline.
——
"Yes, take me," Aziz agreed heatedly as his top came undone and
quickly fell away. He was so focused on his mate, the idea of
anyone walking up on them had been pushed out of his mind.
—-
It wasn’t long till Enon and Aziz were on the throughs of
passion, their bodies melding. He had flipped them over to do
just that- his mouth muffling most the noises that would waft
from the two. His hands ran over the man’s form as things got a
bit more rough, the feel of nails and pulling hair was a big
turn on. “God I should just tie you up one day..” he mumbled at
the mess of Aziz below him.”and make you beg for release..” he
said through his own noises. as his gaze darkened in a lust
filled state.
He felt himself getting close to cover Aziz’s mouth after
saying.”come with me..” he would fill the man’s ass and watch
the mess of cum coming out with the widest grin on his face.
——
Soon, the pair were disrobed and Enon quickly dominated Aziz,
the two passionately entertwined as the blonde clung to his
made. His nails digging into the redhead's back as he pulled
those lushous locks. It felt incredible to just give in to his
desires. Being with Enon so freely was a dream.
"Mmm only if you let me return the favor after," he teased
between hot moans before a fresh shiver ran through him at the
man's demand to cum together.
Soon he felt the fill to spill hard between them before his body
completely relaxed under the man. "Gods you are amazing... i
love you..." He panted out.
——-
Dare picked his way through the ravager/fanatic tents and headed
towards the terranian settlement. Over the past few weeks he'd
been thinking of asking the bread maker if he could be one his
apprentice. He'd been one of the tribe's cooks for a long while
and had always wanted to learn the craft of bread making. It was
quite evident that the terranian Baker was a true artist at his
craft.
He was quite stunned and shocked to find the two men entangled
outside their tent at the end of their rather passionate romp.
"Fuck," he murmured and attempted to back away before they
caught sight of him intruding on their intimate moment.
While Dare was normally very light on his feet and quick, he
wasn't expecting to step on the tail of a young cat. A loud yowl
escaped the cat and Dare swore, ending up falling heavily on one
side as the cat ran off.
Then his face heated up, realizing the two men would catch him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude on your private moment," he
apologized as he got up and then turned his back to them. "I'll
just ..come back later,"
——
Enon smiled back at Aziz to give a soft smile. “I love …” he
started to hear a yowl that caused him to shoot up and see Dare.
His face slowly went a bright red before he’d grab Aziz and rush
to the tent then snaking out with a fur around his waist and
tossing clothes Aziz’s way.”that’s why you call out before you
get in someone’s area.” He said to flush more as he rushed back
and got dressed clearly flustered and mumbling about the peeper.
——
The perfect moment was ruined with the yowl of a cat and for
both to realize they were not alone. He quickly turned bright
red looking at the stranger on the ground before Enon quickly
got the blonde inside of the tent.
He quickly cleaned himself off while his mate grabbed their
clothes from outside, helping his lover get cleaned up before
dressing himself. He emerged shortly after the redhead with
crossed arms and a scowel on his lips.
"What is it you want? I deeply hope you wernt just snooping
around..." Aziz demanded in a harsh tone.
——
Though the sight of the two men had been stunning, Dare knew he
was in the wrong for not calling out like the one had said. "I
am truly very sorry," he called back. "I wasn't thinking very
clearly,"
Dare had the sinking feeling that his chances were slim to none
if he left without explaining himself. So he waited for the men
to emerge, twisting a few of his unruly dreads between his
fingers.
He turned at the question, his dark gray eyes looking at Aziz's
own.
"I sincerely did not think I'd find you in such a position. My
timing was just off, I am very sorry I didn't call out. I've
actually been thinking about talking with you for awhile now.
See...I was going to ask if you'd be willing to take me on as an
apprentice. I'm a pretty good cook, but we have a bunch of
cooks. I've dabbled in bread making, but yours is the best I've
ever tasted. I was hoping to learn from you,"
——
Enon kept in front of his mate with a glower that naturally came
at anyone finding him and his mate in such an embrace.. least
their masks were on.
His own arms folded as he waited for the explanation. He looked
back at Aziz to see his take.
——-
An eyebrow raised at the man's answer, a shocked expression
coming to him seeing as Aziz and his mate had *just* been
talking about him teaching someone. A hand moved up to stroke
his own chin as he thought. He couldn't help but think that the
likelihood of finding someone with such experience *and* desire
to learn would be difficult so he finally let out a heavy
relenting sigh.
"Fine, if you are being honest you can come by this afternoon
for the evening bread batch. Try and peep again I can't promise
my mate won't skin you..." the blonde threatened.
At least the man appeared to be telling the truth. Outside of
clear anxiety over being caught, the man's aura seemed to behave
as most would when telling the truth.
——
Dare took in both men's expressions, feeling like he might have
a mountain to climb to placating and easing their minds about
him. It seemed this always happened no matter where he went.
"I'll be here," he replied with a slight nod, his face heating
at the memory of what he'd seen. " I swear to you on the souls
of my ancestors, it won't ever happen again," he promised
solemnly and then headed off leaving the two alone.
The rest of his day was spent helping the other ravagers and
former fanatics getting things in order around the camp. Dare
wasn't the type to laze around when things needed to be done.
With all that needed to be done, the day flew by rather quickly.
When he realized it was close to the time he needed to be
heading back to Aziz's tent he cleaned up and started to leave,
only to get stopped by one of the ladies.
"Can you take Ty? He's been fussing and hasn't napped yet.
Please? He always falls asleep for you,"
Dare didn't hesitate to take the young baby and wrapped him
around his chest carefully. "Not a problem, I got him," he
replied and then headed off.
He was still several feet away when he called out to announce
his arrival.
"Bread master, I'm here."
Even with his raised voice, the baby didn't stir against him.
The short walk and the beat of his heart having lulled the babe
to sleep already.
——
Enon listened to his mate speak to start grinning a little at
his ending remark his masked face looking at the man before he’d
huff. Once he’d gone Enon said rather softly.”I’m sorry- maybe I
should watch it when we are outside.” He said and chuckled a bit
before drawing in his mate for a kiss.
After an afternoon he prepared to head out when he heard the man
call.”ooOO sexy bread master your being called.” He said to kiss
his cheek.”I got a little bit of work to do- but I’ll be back
before the sun touches the trees.” He said before sauntering out
to see a man… and a baby. His mouth twisted briefly.”I didn’t
think he’d have two apprentices…” he joked a little.
—fin—
All Aziz could do was shake his head at his mate's comment
before gladly kissing him back. "Yeah, would keep... those
activities for inside." He had mused.
The day eased by quietly as Aziz went about his day with Enon.
Feeling a little sad his mate had to head out, finding himself
worrying over the man as he helped to get things ready for his
mate.
Hearing the voice of their peeper calling him breadmaster
combined with Enon's teasing had the blonde blushing quite dark.
"Oh shut up... and be careful," he said once their lips parted.
After a steadying breath, Aziz finally headed out of the tent to
be greeted with a strange sight.
"You brought your child along?" He questioned before sighing and
shaking his head. "Long as it doesn't get in the way I
suppose..." He murmered. "We need to fetch at least two jugs of
water first, sometimes I have to make a second trip but we will
see how it rations out today..." the blonde said before he
grabbed the two massive jugs and lead the way to a water sorce
before he began to tune water into them.
--fin--
Dare chuckled at the red haired man's joke. "Hey its best to
start teaching them young," he joked back.
A few moments later the long blonde Aziz came out , looking
surprised at the sight of the baby. "Technically he's an orphan,
all of the tribe is raising him. I was asked to take him cause
he sleeps best for me." dare explained, shooting an affectionate
look at the young child.
"I can switch this around to my back so I can carry one of the
jugs back," he added as he followed after the other man. "I
don't think I got your name before. You can call me Dare,"
While the blonde filled the jugs, Dare gently to fixed the
baby's sling so it was in his back. Then he easily lifted one of
the jugs up on one of his shoulders and steadied it.
Then headed back to the others tent. "Where do you want the
jug?" He asked politely.
--fin--
"I see, you can call me Aziz. Not much time to ask for names
when peeping i suppose..." The blonde responded bluntly when
asked for his name after the explanation that the child was an
orphan. The coldness of Aziz was easily felt as they made their
back to his tent with the water jugs.
The terranian set his down near a workarea he had long ago made
for himself. "Over here is fine." He expressed before he showed
the man the correct ratio of ingredients to make his dough and
showed him how to work the dough, having to get hands on to get
the man kneeding it correctly.
"There, just like that... perfect," he said with a warm smile,
pleasantly surprised at how well the man was picking up on the
work as they worked through the first leg of making the dough
and setting it out covered to proof.
"Now we give it about an hour and kneed everything and shape it
before we bake." He explained.
--fin--
Dare wasn't all that bothered by Aziz's cold manner, he'd
encountered far worse in his life. Plus he probably deserved it
for having walked in on the man and his mate.
He set the jug down near the work area. After moving the
sleeping baby to a safe spot nearby, washed up and got to work.
With a little hands on help, he managed to pick up the
techniques easily enough. Seeing Aziz's warm smile had him grin
back. "What can I say, you're an excellent teacher. If we have
an hour, I should get Ty back to the kids tent." He said
thoughtfully, eying the still peacefully sleeping baby. "Or if
there's anything else you need help with, I can lend a hand. I'd
hate to try and move Ty and wake him up. He's kind of had it
rough lately. I feel like he has some memories of what happened
to his mother," he sighed.
--fin--
"Let him sleep, I don't think I have more for you to do here...
I doubt you want to watch me sculpt while we wait..." Aziz
mused, thinking for a moment before settling in a sitting
position and began to tune the sand water and earth into clay,
crafting it into a little bird before making many of the same
little bird to set it out to dry.
-fin-
"you sculpt too? Nice. I don't mind watching. I like to carve
animals and toys for the kids when I have time," he explained
and pulled out his whittling knife and a few pieces of wood he
had in one of his various pockets. Then pulled out a small half
done fox.
He watched Aziz make the first few bird before he got to work on
his own projects. It was actually pretty nice not getting
interrupted by kids or other people of the tribe for a change.
When he heard Ty start making fussing noises he got up to take
the baby in his arms and rocked him gently. "Hey little man,
it's okay." He spoke in a soothing tone. Ty finally settled, but
wasn't about to go back to sleep. "I'll be right back," he told
Aziz before heading off with the baby.
It was at least twenty minutes before he returned without the
baby. "So it should be about time to finish with the dough,
right?" dare asked as he picked up his tools to put them away.
-fin-
Given his masked eyes, the glances Aziz stole as he worked went
unnoticed. The explosives expert was coming around to the man,
especially seeing him working on the fox figure. The pair worked
quietly until Ty woke and Darren moved to take care of the
child, soon heading off with the infant.
With Dare gone, it was much easier to focus on his explosives,
carefully gathering up the dried clay into a basket before he
heard his assistant approaching.
"Yes, you are just in time." Aziz agreed before he began the
process of showing Dare how to shape the bread for baking,
getting up lose and personal as he guided the man, the more he
warmed the more friendly Aziz became.
-fin-
Dare had no clue how out of character it was for Aziz to be so
up close and personal..or this friendly. Dare wondered a bit if
Aziz would act the same way if he knew just how mixed blooded he
was.
It only took Dare a little bit before he got the hand of getting
the right shape for the bread loaf right.
"This is actually rather relaxing," he couldn't help but say as
they finished off shaping the last few. "Do you ever try your
hand at baking desserts? I used to do some when we had
supplies,"
——
Enon was making his way back. The man looking a bit roughed up.
He had a time dealing with an interloper that tried to snatch a
kid from the outskirts. The man finally not limping from his
ordeal thanks to his tuning- the evidence clearly on his
clothes. As he neared by home he took notice- that Aziz was
awful close to Dare. His mouth held a firm frown as he felt an
internal flag going up. His jaw flexed in displeasure before
he’d walk over and pull Aziz back more out of jealousy and put
his chin on the man’s shoulder.
The man had all sorts of words on his mind- and not all good- he
didn’t like what he saw.. his Aziz- his just mated Aziz- was way
too close to another man.
*mine* was all on his mind as he muscled through what he wanted
to say to something that wouldn’t cause a fight outright.”I
missed my mate so much…” he said with a strained smile.”don’t
mind me.. hugging on *my* mate.” He said in a rather possessive
tone.
—fin—
"The routine of it can be quite relaxing. Yes, I dabble in
desserts on occasion. I made the cake for my mating
celebration." Aziz answered before he felt himself suddenly
jerked away from Dare. His cheeks turning scarlet red at how
affection Enon was appearing, though he could hear thr
possessiveness in his mate's voice.
"I missed you too," Aziz said softly as his blush got worse as
he turned his head to kiss the top of Enon's head.
-fin-
"I heard it until as a rather impressive cake," he said
recalling how the others had spoken of the delicate masterpiece.
He hadn't actually been around for the ceremony. He'd come a few
days after the rest of the group, having stayed behind to deal
with a few things at their old camp.
Dare didn't notice Enon until Aziz was pulled away. Seeing the
jealous and angry look on the Enon's face had him feel like he
was once again intruding on the couple's time.
"Well I should get going. There's other things I need to do. Do
you want help again tomorrow morning?" Dare asked as he pulled
off the borrowed apron.
He folded it and set it near the work area and gathered up his
things where he'd left them.
"I'll see you both around," he said before he headed off.
--fin--
Enon relaxed at the sound of Aziz’s words. The kiss to the top
of his head reassuring him that it wasn’t what he believed. His
masked eyes watched the man fold his apron, the idea of him
coming another morning made Enon decide he was going to be there
too. Seeing that closeness set off a flag. He brushed his lips
on the man’s neck.”mmhmm..” he sounded to watch him go. Once he
saw the man go he took a breath.”I know you’re teaching him and
all- but did you have to be that close?” He asked with a twinge
of jealousy mixed in the sad tone.
—fin—
It seemed the possessive display by Enon was enough to drive off
Dare. "Yes, you can come just before dawn is when I start. I
like to have fresh bread for breakfast. See you in the morning."
Aziz told the man as he left shivering at the kiss to his neck.
Hearing his mate's sad jealous words had Aziz turning in the
redheads arms and drew him into a loving kiss.
"Yes, but I shouldn't have to be so close in the morning, he is
learning quickly. Want to help me finish and get everything to
the food market?" He questioned.
-fin-
Enon felt the soft kiss and embraced the man a bit more gently.
“Of course my love.” He said to gently rub his nose on Aziz’s in
an affectionate way. Hearing the man’s words helped him relax
knowing Aziz would be more mindful. He still felt his jealousy
brewing a little but felt he better give things a
chance.”alright but I’ll be here for the next session- I just
wanna see how he does and try the first bread of the day.” He
said as he quite enjoyed that time with Aziz.
He let the man go to begin prepping the move of the bread and
got it packed correctly to begin to help him carry it to the
market.
He noticed just how much more crowded the market was as
expected, trying to be careful of others. Once he got it settled
he heard fighting.”second time this morning! First one was
saving a kid.” He grumbled to turn- around to see what looked
like scar handling it this time. He let a breath out.”it’s
starting to be a handful.” He said before looking toward his
home.
He hoped his sister would be ready at some point- given what she
was he knew that most of their own would listen.
“Think that guy may be a help with the bread? I know this means
you might be taking more than just one on in the future though-
mean there’s plenty of kids to teach.” He said as he watched a
couple of kids about ran into scar for the man to wag his finger
and saw his brother Elior giving the man a hand.
—fin—
Dare was soon pulled into various jobs for the next hour or so,
until he ran into Ruhn. The veteran Elf pulled him off to go
hunt, which was a nice reprieve from the insistent ravagers that
always seemed to need his help. WIth Ruhn, there wasn't much
talking while they hunted. This was rather normal for the
antisocial elf. Dare knew there were few that Ruhn could stand
in the ravagers,
"Looks like their market space is pretty busy," He commented
seeing how active it was with the ravagers and the newly
accepted former fanatics.
He winced hearing the fighting starting back up, and shot a
glance at the silent Ruhn, noticing how the other's eyebrows
twitched at it.
"If it's too noisy, I can see to getting the catch to those that
want to trade," He offered.
Ruhn shot him a pointed look. "I'll have to get used to the
boisterous busy bodies at some point," He sighed heavily.
The kids running around came to a stop when they spied Ruhn,
their eyes widening and hurried off for the tent where they were
staying. Dare scratched his head and followed Ruhn to the spot
in the market that the other hunters had set up to trade their
catches with those that couldn't hunt. "Just why do they avoid
you?" He asked curiously.
"One of the caretakers told them that if they made too much
noise around me, I'd steal their voices," He muttered looking
slightly amused. "Truthfully I know a silencing spell that can
shut anyone up for a good half an hour at a time. They just
overexaggerated it,"
Dare shook his head and then spied Aziz and Enon unloading the
bread that he'd helped make on one of the tables nearby. "Oh
hey, you want to try some of the bread I helped bake earlier?"
Ruhn nodded as he dumped the birds and desert rabbits they'd
caught on the table.
Dare dumped his own catches down and then headed over to Aziz
and Enon, smiling a bit to himself. The tattooed elf was being
checked out by a few of the terranians, which had him chuckling
a bit. They'd soon learn to stay away.
——
A rare laugh left Aziz when Enon rubbed their noses together
affectionately before the blonde found himself released. It made
his heart flutter hearing the man call him his love. "Maybe I
can make you some pancakes in the morning if I wake early
enough? Could get ahold of some honey," he suggested as the
worked on getting everything moved.
The hussle and bussle of the market now was near overwhelming
for him, who didn't speak a word as he got all set up and began
seeing to those wanting his bread.
A heavy sigh left him when his beloved mentioned that Aziz would
likely have to take on more students than just Dare. "One step
at a time Enon..." He complained before seeing Dare approaching
with an elf.
"Come to try the products of your work? Here this is one you
made," he said, wrapping it up and handing it over.
Moments later, Usagi was walking over, he had been meandering,
taking what he wanted. Given he was the only one skilled with
scissors on hair, he was met with chatting and friendliness.
While the hare could catch his own food, he didn't like doing
it. He would rather play with hair all day.
"Aziz! When will you let me play with your hair?" Usagi
complained getting a scowel out of the blonde. The words having
earned the rabbit a loaf of bread thrown at his face shortly
after. He just snickered, finding that irritating Aziz was fun.
-fin-
“I do love those!” Exclaimed Enon with enthusiasm of the
pancakes. He loved things around and saw the people coming in to
hand out the bread as usual, he gave a chuckle at the man’s
words.
“Right.. one step at a time.” He retorted to see Dare coming. He
watched as the man gave dare the loaf. His smile strained just a
little- but when he heard usagi made a face.”your not touching
his hair.. if anyone gonna be playing with his hair it’s me!”
Said the redhead with a huff.
His arms going around the middle of aziz to snicker at the bread
hitting the man’s face.”good aim as always..” he praised.
—fin—
"thank you Aziz. I'll share half with you Ruhn," Dare offered
seeing how quickly the bread was going.
Ruhn nodded,his gaze turning towards Usagi as he called out and
asked about playing with Aziz's hair. An amused smirk filled his
face at the bread that smacked the rabbitkin in the face.
Hearing Aziz's mate's response had his grin growing a bit wider
and a mischievous look fill his face.
"If anyone needs a haircut it's Dare. He's had that rat nest on
his head for far too long," Ruhn said reaching out to pull on
one of his dreids.
"No way, keep away from my dreids. And no touching. You should
get your undercut shaved again, it looks like crap," Dare shot
back.
Ruhn cocked his head to the side, his eyes gleaming a bit and
then scratched his head thoughtfully.
"You're right, hey Usagi you got time to work on my hair today?
I'll make it worth your time,"
Dare shook his head letting out a sigh as Ruhn managed to
wrangle Usagi off. "Hope Usagi knows what he's getting into,"
he muttered. "So Aziz, I was added onto the "policing" group and
I'm starting tonight, I may be a little late tomorrow morning."
Dare was already considering it might be smarter to get a
smaller tent and move a bit closer to the couple's place.
However he knew that it wouldn't be best to just spring it on
them.

Feeling Enon's arms suddenly around his middle after his retort
that only he could mess with Aziz's hair had the blonde
blushing, even more so at the complement on his aim. To say he
was grateful for the rabbit man being distracted by Ruhn was an
understatement.
Though when dare mentioned being late in the morning a frown
crossed Aziz's lips. "The only acceptable excuse for being late
is being held up medically at the healers grotto." He chastised.
"Unless you aren't taking bread making seriously.... then don't
bother coming at all." He added quite harshly. One thing the
blonde nearly never tolerated was tardiness
---
The exchange between the men had Usagi chuckling before his ears
perked at Ruhn's question and claim of making it worth his time.
"Oh? Sure, I can cut it after breakfast, you can join me if you
like," the energetic hare said as he headed off to collect a few
more things and then headed to the hole in the ground he had
made into a home. The inside spacious and well furnished. Though
the entry was quite small and narrow.
Usagi was quick to make his way inside before emerging with what
he planned on cooking and getting the fire going to make a nice
big breakfast.
"So, how has your morning been going?" He asked casually.
-fin-
Enon made a small frown at the fact of the idea of dare giving
excuses but- his blonde lover made a point of what was
acceptable.
His head turned to the man giving dare a bit of a hard time.
“Yanno- just saying everyone likes their hair a certain way -
you really shouldn’t be picking on Dare- find his hair just
fine- honestly helps in a lot of cases.” He said and sighed.”I
should get mine braided at some point - it does get in the way
on patrols..” he bemused a bit as he brushed his hair back.
—fin—
Hearing Enon standing up to Ruhn for him was quite a surprise
for Dare. Maybe the man didn't actually dislike him as much as
he'd imagined.
"If you want braids, it's Atreus you should ask. He's the master
of braids and hair designs," he spoke up.
Dare got a rather conflicted look on his face, especially given
the other's tended to depend on him to get Ty to sleep at night
and get up with the baby if he woke. Well they'd just have to do
without him. He liked kids and all, but if he wanted to get into
baking he would need to focus on what Aziz had to teach him.
"Then be mindful that I'll be setting a tent closer to yours
tonight. If I stay with the others, they'll expect me to get up
with Ty and get him back to sleep. Guess they'll just have to
learn to do it themselves." He said resolutely. "I'll see you
both bright and early," he added giving them both a respectful
salute before heading off with his bread and collected a few
other crucial supplies to feed himself and whoever was on kid
watching duty.
-----
Ruhn was slightly amused by the terranian's admonishment. "If
you all thought I was serious you're wrong. I wasn't in the
slightest." He shook his head at them and followed after the
energetic rabbit kin, eyeing the other's muscular back and well
formed ass.
"Sure..why not," he replied. He settled down on a rock outside
the other's home and cleaned under his fingernails while he
waited for Usagi to emerge.
"It's been pretty uneventful for the most part. Went on a hunt
with Dare, got a pretty good catch. Have yet to get in a good
fight, but I'm sure at some point I'll get the chance if these
dumbasses make trouble. Seems like neither side is close to
being accepting just yet,"
He said this on a rather dry tone, as if it didn't actually
bother him. Which it didn't. He could actually care less about
the Terranian's and the ravagers/fanatics being at peace with
one another. Then again Ruhn lived for fighting. It's what he
was trained for.
"and how was your morning?" Ruhn asked, his eyes slowly taking
in Usagi's body once more as the rabbit kin worked.
--fin--
Hearing his mate go to the defence of Dare had the blonde
raising an eyebrow at the redhead before being surprised by
Dare's resolve to take this seriously. It brought a slight grin
to his lips. The formation quickly dropping when he went back to
handing out bread.
Out of all the stalls, Aziz's bread was the first to run out,
the man going around and taking his own pick of things with his
mate before they headed home.
----
As the rabbitkin listened to Ruhn talk, he nodded his head as
his foot seemed to tap to the rhythm of his nods. "Mean, if you
*want* a fight, could always stir up some trouble." He joked.
"My morning had been good. Busy, corse, I'm always busy. Had
twelve different people to work on the moment the sun peaked
over the horizon. Swear, I need my beauty sleep! Plus with all
the new clients, barely have time to groom myself," he
chattered, continuing on while he cooked about each and every
client, going into needless detail and long rambling rants. Once
you got the man talking he was hard to shut put.
Soon he was pulling the food from the fire, just as he finished
a rant about how scorpions were out to get him.
"Hope you like it, I'm not exactly a great cook..." He warned
before sitting down and munching on his food.
-fin-
The red head heard about the braids and his brothers mate being
good at it.”guess I could ask..” he said before hearing more as
his head cocked. Once dare left he asked his mate who was
putting things up.” Did he say what I thought I heard?” He said
stunned at the idea of another person in the area. He got
worried at the idea of more who learn if it would get crowded at
that point.
—fin—
Dare knew that stepping away from the little boy wasn't going to
be easy and the others in his tent were shocked when he had the
chance to bring up his intention to move out.
"I can take him on nights when I'm not patrolling, but that's
not going to be often," he finally added, eying the little boy
who was giving him big doe eyes.
"It's not like he's going to sleep without you here. One of us
can bring him to you when you get done. You know the kid will
keep us all up until then," one of the other guys pointed out.
"One of you should just find a wife among the fanatics or
terraineans and adopt him," Dare suggested, though he felt a bit
badly for leaving the little one behind.
"Or..you could work on convincing the newly married guys to
adopt him," one of the others suggested with a grin.
Dare shook his head and finished packing up the last of his
things and grabbed the small tent from the corner. "Not likely
to work. They're both too busy for raising kids. Plus I don't
think Aziz was happy that I brought the kiddo this morning. If I
want to train under him, I have to make a good impression,"
The others finally gave up trying to convince him and said their
farewells. Dare left feeling a bit sad he wouldn't be as
involved with the little boy's life. Maybe one day he'd get the
chance to be a father.
He soon made his way to the area near Aziz and Enon's tent and
set his own up several yards away, not wanting to intrude too
much on their privacy.
Once he'd gotten it up he put up some magic runes on the trees
around his place to ward off ravagers and other tribes people
away. The last thing he wanted was more people invading the
quiet area. That would probably annoy Aziz and Enon even more.
With nothing else to do until later afternoon, Dare decided to
practice his fighting moves and to work out a bit. After about
fifty pushups, he was pulling his shirt off before going into
one handed pushups.
------
Ruhn's eyes sparked at Usagi's joke, a bit of a smirk twitching
up the right side of his mouth. "Nah, I'll wait for some idiot
to do it for me. There's enough of them all in one place, it
shouldn't take too long," he replied with a wink.
Ruhn's eyes darkened when Usagi mentioned how many people had
shown up to wake him. "Sounds like you need to set a schedule
and some boundaries for your clients to follow. I'd be happy to
help you with doing that. If you keep working like that you're
likely to get overworked and exhausted. Plus, you should have at
least a day or two off so you can recover from your work."
Ruhn didn't mind the rambling speech of the rabbitkin, at least
not at first.
"Do you ever stop to breathe?" He e teased when Usagi finally
finished talking about assassin scorpions.
"It could be they're attracted to your energy or scent. Just
like every desert creature, there are things scorpions prefer
eating,"
Ruhn accepted the offered food, eating it before taking a bite.
While his expression didn't change, the taste was quite strange
and nearly inedible.
"From now on, I'll do the cooking. If you plan on surviving,
you're going to need better food," Ruhn said seriously and took
another bite. "It's not terrible, but it could use more flavor,"
he added.
Once he'd finished eating, Ruhn collected the dishes to clean
them. "So, do you charge differently for more challenging cuts,
or do you charge for the time it takes? Do you barter for goods
as well? Would a week of dinners suffice for fixing up my hair?"
--fin--
"If you heard we are gaining our first neighbor then yes, you
heard correctly. Don't fret," Aziz mused with a proper smirk on
his lips as he took his mate's jaw into his hand to pull him in
to still a quick kiss,a blush on his cheeks at how casual and
natural that felt, "long as you don't take me outside again we
shouldn't have another indecent," he whispered against his
love's ear.
By the time they finished their shopping and headed home, Dare
had already set himself up and was working out *shirtless*. The
flabbergasted blonde stared for a shocked moment before hurrying
off into his newly shared tent with his mate.
Why did seeing Dare like that make him feel like this? He was a
mated man! It had to be that they hadn't finished earlier and
his body was just reactive he mentally reasoned.
Once Aziz got the things from the market put away, he was quick
to shove Enon down onto their pelts and wrestle with the man
over who got to top before finally giving in to get nice and
properly railed by his mate.
A short nap later and Aziz was back to work for the dinner rush.
The man could never get enough bread out before the demand had
doubled. He took pause when he remembered, he had two extra sets
of hands willing to help him and both of them hotter than sin.
He was quick to drag the two men away from whatever they were
working on and get them working on the labourous parts of making
the bread and teaching them how to make it perfect.
---
"Am I talking too much again? Sorry, I know I talk too much for
most people. I don't mind being busy, you don't have to do all
that for me,most of my clients are super pushy. Though, might
give you that fight you are looking for," Usagi said with a
chuckle.
At Ruhn's reaction to his cooking, the bunny's ears drooped
before his head tilted at the man's insistence of cooking for
him and couldn't help but chuckle.
"If you want to cook for me that would work for me, give me a
taste of what having a partner is like," he joked.
The hare was convinced he was never going to find someone who
tolerated him enough to sleep with him, let alone love him.
