[Close, so close, like they're riding a wave that will inevitably crash them to shore. They know each other's bodies by now, know the limits they can push each other and themselves to. Lio knows the way Galo moves when he's on the verge of tipping over that edge.
As Galo leans back, Lio lifts his gaze to meet his. His hands shift beneath Galo's to tangle their fingers together. OH part of him desperately wants to chase that pleasure, to let Galo take them the rest of the way now. But he also doesn't want it to be over.
He squeezes Galo's hands.] Mm... slow down.
[He breathes out a shaky breath, drawing one hand free to settle against Galo's chest, push him to lie further back against the pillows. Lio takes a moment to breathe.]
Let me. [He'll drive for a while. He shifts enough to get his knees under him and begins a slower rhythm of rising and falling on Galo's dick.]
[He lays back. His hands glide up and down Lio’s lovely thighs. He admires the way Lio looks with his hair a mess, sweat giving his skin a damp sheen.
Perfect. Lean muscle moves under warm skin and he is reminded all over again how strong Lio is. He’s a mean shot too.
His eyes lock on Lio’s as he slows down, rolling his hips in time with Lio dropping down. He gasps when they find the right timing all over again. The heat is slowing, the build up ebbing. The edge they had been near gets farther away.] Good. I wanted to keep going.
[Those hands on him are sinfully good. They always are, and a reminder of the difference in size between them, especially when Galo grips at his hips, that usually sets something in Lio shattering with arousal all over again.
His voice catches as their timing syncs up again and he rolls his hips, losing a groan as eh finds an angle that brings Galo's cock thrusting against his prostate on every downward press of his hips and it's so good.]
Me too. Don't want it to end. [Not yet, not when Galo is looking at him like that.] I love the way you feel inside me, baby... [He braces one hand against Galo's chest for leverage as he rides him.]
Love the way you feel around me. On me. [His hands travel higher up over Lio’s hips and stomach. He braces his feet on the bed and grins, a wild light in his eyes.]
Like this is the closest to when we merged minds into one. [He says as his hands slide up Lio’s chest. He lightly pinched a nipple, his other hand falling back to Lio’s hip.
They’re building back up again. His breath comes out hot and ragged.] But, my favorite part is you looking at me like that. So easy to see you know you’re loved.
[He hasn’t been subtle about falling in love with Lio. Even when he didn’t know that was what was happening.]
[It is the closest they can come to that moment, isn't it? Lio will never forget that moment. Meeting Galo Thymos changed his life, and even if at first he'd never expected the firefighter he'd let catch him to be everything that Galo is to him, he wouldn't have it any other way. Galo is always so much more than he seems at first glance. Lio is so glad he looked closer.
His voice catches at that pinch, back arching to push his chest towards the touch. He can feel they're rushing to that edge, distracted by the building pleasure, the crescendo of need. He almost misses what Galo has to say though.
When the words register, he flushes. gasping more at the way his chest twists hot and tight and sweet. He does know he's loved. Sometimes... sometimes he's not sure he deserves it. He knows his hands aren't exactly clean, even if he did everything he did for the sake of his people. But... Galo knows who he is, knows what he is, and he loves him anyway.
He exhales that breath in a whimper.]
Galo... [He reaches down to take that hand in his, hold it to his chest even as he starts moving more frantically in his lap.] I do know. You look at me like you love me, like I'm precious to you. And I... I love you too. You know that, right? You know how much I love you?
Of course I know! [Galo laughs. He catches Lio’s other hand in his, holding his hands as he rocks up into him. They’re so close now.]
And of course you’re precious to me. You’re important in...more ways than you know.
[He brings the hand is his to his mouth and presses a kiss to Lio’s fingers.] my partner.
[He breathes with a fierce light in his eyes. Lio opened up the world to him. He tore open the box he had been living in. He will forever be grateful to him for that and so much more.]
[Lio holds tightly to Galo's hands in turn, holding tightly as he drives his hips down to meet each rock of Galo's hips up. He's blushing now, and he'd properly fuss at Galo for saying such sweet, genuine things to him -- really, who can say those things so straightforward and honestly?
It's the kiss to his fingers that really undoes him. Damn it.]
My Galo... [He manages in a breathless moan, moving faster, driving his hips down with an almost frantic need, chasing that release. It's obvious when he finds the angle he's looking for; his entire body jolts and he rolls his hips harder.] Are you close?
Yeah, I'm close. [His head falls back and his breath comes out hot, the pace is fast and wild. He can't help but think that it fits them. Their soul together will always burn hotter and brighter, more powerfully than they would alone.]
Lio, you close too? [He keeps his grip on Lio's hands. But he has a thought of grabbing his hips. Not tonight. Holding onto each other like this is perfect.]
[Words seem challenging, so Lio nods, fitful and distracted. But a shaky breath and he tries for words.] So close... so so close...
[He squeezes Galo's hands in his own, needing that connection, all of it. Like this, they're as close as they can be. And as much as he doesn't want it to end, Galo is right. He can't last anymore. The pressure and pleasure are building.
One final hard rock of his hips down and Lio arches against him, a soft, breathless gasp of Galo's name as he comes. He keeps moving on Galo even then, even as he rides out his orgasm, even as every nerve in his body feels oversensitive, determined to take Galo right over that edge with him.]
[The pace keeps speeding up as they chase the edge together. Galo squeezes Lio’s hands and gasps, uttering his name like it’s the only word he knows how to say.
He tenses up as the pressure bends and he snaps his hips up one final time. Lio’s soft gasp is the only sound in the world. Then he groans, buried deep in him as he comes.
They rock together through their climax until he’s so sensitive he lets go of Lio’s hands to grab his hips and halt their rocking.] Too much. Too much. Slow it down Lio.
[He presses a kiss to Lio’s lips and rests his forehead against his with a shiver.] I don’t got the strength left to clean up or take nudes for you. ...you can take them in the morning.
[Lio goes still when those hands land at his hips, a whimper of sound leaving his lips. Too much is right, but god it's good. All of it is so good. How exactly did he get by before he found his way into Galo's arms and into his bed?
No no, their bed, and that's just as thrilling to think of now as it was the first time. He runs his hands up over Galo's chest, over sweat-dampened skin.]
Tomorrow.
[Lio agrees, tilting his chin to catch another kiss, this one softer and sweeter.] When we wake up. In our bed.
[Then yeah, nudes. There will be a photo shoot.] Right now just I want to stay in your arms. [Deal?]
[Galo strokes Lio’s sides and smiles for him. His hands slide up and wrap around him.] Good, that’s where I want you to be.
[He gently lifts him up and pulls out. His breath hisses between his teeth. He almost whines. Galo lays down and urges Lio to lay down with him. In the morning he will curse and find it gross they didn’t clean up.
Right now he laughs,] Tomorrow, we’ll handle everything else.
[Lio does whine softly as Galo draws out, a shiver running through him. Still sensitive, but fuck was it worth it. He's all to happy to lie down beside Galo and move in closer, close enough that he can use Galo's chest as a pillow.
He doesn't want to move at all. They'll deal with cleanup in the morning. It's worth waking up sticky, he thinks as he listens to Galo's heartbeat beneath his ear.]
You really asked me to move in.
[Over text message. While they were both really quite drunk.]
[But he understands being nervous about it. He sure has hell hadn't mentioned it because he didn't want to make Galo uncomfortable or make the other man feel backed into a corner.
His hand settles on Galo's chest, fingers tracing invisible shapes over his skin. ...mostly hearts but shh they're invisible so no one can know how lame he is.]
Being with you feels like home. I didn't think I'd ever feel that way.
[Between the fading buzz and the afterglow, sentimental things keep slipping out before he can realize just how sentimental they are.]
[He snuggles in all the closer. He was never a snuggler before Glao. He's been ruined by this man. Entirely ruined, and he's never been happier about anything.
But oh.
OH. He perks up, peeking up at Galo with as innocent an expression as he can manage.]
[He's been dating Lio long enough he isn't fooled by that innocent look one bit. He raises an eyebrow.] Lio, how hard a time are you preparing for?
This sounds like you're hording for a long winter without! We don't even go a week without doing something.
[On days he has off they're a twice a day kind of people. It's going to be way easier to be that active with Lio moving in. Galo rests his hand on Lio's back as he says,]
Even if we went on vacation we know how half that time would be spent.
[Galo, sweet, gentle Galo. All those things are true. Lio knows all those things are true. That is not the point. He's very grateful for their active sex life. He's very appreciative of the times they don't quite get that far and just wind up draped all over each other watching bad movies on the couch.
All of that is not the point either.
The point is. He wants nudes. And a little sex tape.
So still trying to look entirely innocent, he informs him,]
Any time we're not together feels like forever.
[See, Galo? You're not the only one who can do ridiculous lines with sincerity. Also...]
[Galo snickers and wraps his arms around Lio to trap him up against his chest. There's no escaping him now. Not that he thinks Lio will even try to.] Does it?
I get it. Feels like I've known you for forever too! [Then he looks up at the ceiling. For him the job has been everything. He devoted himself saving lives. Even if the ideals he lived up to went crashing to the ground he still believes in the work they do.
But Lio isn't wrong. After all of that they need some time away. He suspects the Captain will push forward on Kray's case while he's gone. He makes a soft sound and presses his face against the crown of Lio's hair.] ...we should take a vacation. There's a whole world out there.
We could, I dunno go mountain climbing or something.
[Woe is Lio, tapped up against Galo's chest. Clearly the worst place in the world to be. Except Lio definitely appreciates this exact spot more than just about anywhere else in the world.]
Mountain climbing.
[He repeats because well of course this bundle of ridiculous energy that he loves wants to run up a mountain.]
If there's an onsen near the top that sounds good.
[Please just let him soak up warmth somewhere for a while. He lifts his head to look at Galo.] I want to see as much of this world as we can. We saved it, right? We should get to know it better.
[Get the okay from the captain. Important things. Galo is way too responsible to go about it any other way. And really, Lio isn't any different for all that he may try to sometimes pretend he's above it all. He's also too responsible to leave a team high and dry.
But once they do get it squared away. It'll be nice, to slip away from everything with Galo, for just a little while.]
After I get settled in here though. [He has things to move, Galo. He's excited about it too.]
Yeah! We got to move your stuff in and enjoy living together first. [Galo grins. The blankets are draped over them to his satisfaction and he's exhausted.]
I'm tired. ...we should finally get some sleep. Had a long day.
[Ooh blankets. Good. Lio is a very content man right now, draped over his boyfriend, cuddled close, covered in blankets, warm and pleasantly sore and exhausted. A perfect night.
He leans up just enough to peck a quick kiss to Galo's lips.]
