Waking up being snuggled is definitely something I like. Even more so when the apartment is warm. Even more so when we're both naked. My position shifted a little during our sleep, and I'm now resting with my head under Theo's chin, the arm he's not holding me with used as a pillow instead of the actual pillow. The shift in position has resulted in his dick pressing against my ass, and it's definitely hard.

I like this.

While I do feel slightly guilty for getting with him instead of Lucas or Zane, my guilt disappears when I remember that neither of them are ready for dating, and they both know that I am. I'm not going to wait around forever for someone when I have other options.

Patron-approved ones, too.

"Afternoon," Theo says when I reach for his hand to hold it a little.

"Already awake?" I ask.

"Yup!" He answers, kissing the top of my head. "I tried moving you back up, but you slid yourself right back down all three times. I couldn't tell if you were just finding the position comfy or if you were subconsciously getting into that position because of where my dick was."

"It's definitely comfy," I tell him. "My ass is sore from last night. Thanks for not taking it as an invitation to enter."

"I'd never fuck a sleeping person," he says. "Even if they're my boyfriend, unless they've given me permission beforehand. On that topic, if you ever wake up first, Kier, you can do whatever you want with my dick. I am more than fine with that."

"If I did something, it would probably stop at a blowjob," I tell him.

"That's fine," he shrugs against me, then kisses the top of my head again. "Is it too sore for you to get up?"

"As in out of bed?" I ask.

"Yeah."

"Nah," I answer. "It's not a bad kind of sore."

"Let's go take a shower," he says. "Then I'll fix us brunch."

"Do you want to fuck me first?" I ask.

Theo's hand moves from mine to trailing down my stomach, reaching my admittedly-flaccid dick.

"You're soft," he murmurs.

"You're not," I counter. "I might not be horny, but I'm willing to deal with you being so, Theo."

"Are you sure?" He asks.

"Just make sure to lube up first."

He's quiet for a few moments, his hand still gently rubbing my dick.

"Let me find the lube real quick."

I snort as his hand pulls away from my dick, and a few moments later, I can hear him popping the lube open with the one hand. His other arm is still tied up as my pillow. Theo moves his hips back, his hand tapping my ass a few times as he lubes himself up. Then, he tells me to lift my leg up a little, and I do.

He begins pushing his dick into my ass from behind, and once the head is inside, he moves his hand onto my side. I pull my knee up and set my foot down, and Theo thrusts all the way in.

"Nnnh!" I moan.

"Let me know if you want me to stop," he tells me. "Or if I'm too rough or fast. I'm a bit more energetic than last night."

"Mnh-hnh."

Theo begins thrusting, and he really is moving faster than last night. It's slightly uncomfortable, but still pleasurable. Our moans, grunts, and breaths fill the air as he fucks me, my dick returning to full mast at the stimulation. His entire body gets into the fucking, his moans louder than mine, his hand sliding down to my stomach, pulling me closer as I hear the light zaps of his sparks, feel them tingling against my skin.

"Ungh! Yeaaah!" He moans, thrusting in hard, and I can feel him shooting his cum into my ass again. "Ooh, fuck, Kier. Your ass feels nice."

I don't know how to respond to that.

"Your dick feels nice."

Theo's moans become mixed with snickers, which is honestly a sound I never knew could exist but one that's amusing to hear. When he finishes, he keeps his dick in my ass for a few minutes, just holding me tight.

"Let's go take a shower now," he tells me. "I'm starving, and I bet you are, too."

My stomach rumbles in response, so we get up, which takes a little bit of effort on my part because I'm more sore than I realize. In response to that, Theo quite literally picks me up, then carries me into his bathroom, stepping into his shower before setting me down. It's sizable, with enough room for us to be in here comfortably. I start scrubbing myself off, only for Theo to grab my hands.

"Whoa, Kier," he says. "Don't worry about wasting water, I'll spend the extra few cents it will cost to clean us thoroughly. In fact…"

He takes the scrubber from my hand and sets it down, then turns me around and starts washing my hair. I let Theo scrub me clean, the feel of his hands working my scalp nice, the gentle, but firm way he scrubs my skin pleasant. When he gets to my ass, he's gentle, tender, careful of its soreness. When he cleans under my foreskin, he carefully pulls it back and gently washes it.

After he finishes cleaning me, I try to return the favor, but I'm not as experienced at scrubbing someone else. When I clean his dick and under his foreskin, and idea comes to me and I look up and meet that electric blue gaze of his.

"Go ahead," he says with a chuckle. "It's already in your hands, Kier. Literally."

I chuckle, then get down on my knees and take his dick into my mouth. It tastes a little bit like the soap I just washed off of it, but mostly it just tastes like skin. Since I can't go all the way down like Theo can, I just take what I can, moving between that and just the head of it in my mouth, using my tongue as much as possible and adding suction when I'm as far as I can go.

Theo keeps a hand on my head, his other on his hip, looking down at me as he lets out soft gasps. I look up and meet his gaze a few times, one hand on the base of his dick, the other playing with his balls. His hips start twitching forward a little, and I can tell he's trying not to shove his dick all the way into my throat. Sparks start to dance across his body, and even as they zap me, there's no discomfort, not even with the water on me.

"There actually are sparks!" He excitedly exclaims.

That exclamation causes me to laugh, which results in me choking on his dick.

"Ack! Sorry!" He says as I pull off his dick so that I can laugh properly.

For a moment, we both just laugh at the situation, then I return to sucking him off, the sparks returning about a minute later. Theo is rubbing my head lightly, his other hand on his hip/ass, and it feels pretty nice to have him doing that while I do this, even if we're both wet.

"Getting close, Kier!" He warns me, and I pull back so that only the tip of his dick is in my mouth, pulling his foreskin back. "Ungh! Yeah!"

A spark strikes me in the cheek, leaving just a light tingling feeling behind, then Theo reaches his climax. Shot after shot of his thick, salty cum fills my mouth, and I do my best to swallow it all. Just like last night, his cum has a light zing to it. Is that because he's a lightning elemental? Either way, it's actually pretty neat and I like it.

Once his climax finishes, I take as much of his dick into my mouth as I can and suck on it, rubbing my tongue against it.

I do this for a couple of minutes, then free his dick and begin licking along its length, looking up and meeting Theo's gaze as I do. Not wanting to waste too much time in here, I only do this for a minute before I return to cleaning him off.

After we finish washing ourselves off, we step out of the shower and start drying each other off, making sure to completely dry the crotch, under the foreskin, and the ass. Theo teasingly squeezes my dick, asking if I want some help with the boner.

"It'll go away when you stop playing with it," I snort. "Ah, crap. I forgot my stuff up in Isaac's apartment."

"I can have him bring it down in a bit," Theo tells me. "You can put on my clothes if you want to wear something clean while you wait. Or you can wear a towel. Or nothing at all. The apartment's warm and I'd like to see this body of yours more, if you're okay with it."

As he says that, he puts his hands on my sides, pulling me against him, his dick rubbing my stomach as he tilts his head down to kiss. I meet his kiss, sliding one hand onto his back and resting the other on his shoulder. Theo slips his tongue into my mouth, aggressively working it against mine. I wrestle it back, though there's definitely a lot more energy in Theo's than mine. Wow does he have a lot of it already.

"I'll stay naked for now, I guess," I tell him once we finally stop the kiss. "I've never really done that before."

"I'm glad to be your first," he smiles. "In more than one thing."

We grab our phones, than Theo grabs me by the hand and leads me to his dining room. I take a seat on one of the chairs as he steps into his kitchen, his genitals disappearing before he pulls on a sky-blue apron. I guess that makes it easier to cook?

My ass is really sore now, and sitting on something hard like this wooden chair is uncomfortable, but I just lean on the table, watching Theo as he works. That is a really nice ass he has. He's also definitely sexy, especially with his hair still slightly damp from our shower, darkened by the water.

As he moves around, I realize that he jolts from spot to spot at times, a small burst of sparks accompanying it.

"Any particular type of pancakes you want?" Theo asks. "I've got chocolate chips, bananas, blueberries, gummy bears-"

"Gummy bears?" I ask. "In pancakes?"

Gummy bears aren't even a common food, they're considered a luxury because some of the necessary ingredients are rare. Mom sometimes bought a handful of them for me as a snack when I was little, and I don't think I've even seen them in any stores. It was on the rare occasion she visited the upper districts that she'd return with them.

"Heck yeah!" Theo enthusiastically responds.

And here Theo is, sticking them in his breakfast.

"I'll try that, I guess?"

"Great!" He opens up a cabinet and pulls out a giant container of gummy bears. That is a giant container. "Gummy bears! Mixed colors or any particular ones!"

"Just toss 'em in."

"Will do, Kier!"

The more he works on breakfast, the more energetic he seems to become, his movements swifter as he multitasks making pancakes, bacon, sausages, and scrambled eggs. The eggs aren't plain, being mixed with chives, bell peppers, and something I'm not too sure of, in addition to a touch of salt and a little bit of milk. Small sparks dance across his skin as he moves, and it really adds to his attractiveness, in a strange way.

Just like elementals are drawn to me, I'm definitely drawn to elementals, even more so when their true nature is leaking out. The way his sparks felt against me during sex was pretty amazing, too. How did they not hurt if he wasn't even consciously using them? Because of something in his subconscious?

Or maybe-

"Milk or orange juice?" Theo asks as he starts putting the food and dishes on the table, his movements sudden, as if he's teleporting form spot to spot.

When did he take the apron off? It's already hung up, and I don't remember seeing him remove it. That must have been another high-speed movement. His dick is back, the same size it was before rather than its full size.

"Milk, please," I answer.

What was I thinking about before he asked me that?

"Cool!" He zaps himself over to the fridge.

Right, how sexy he is, especially when using his powers.

"Did you know you're using your powers?"

"I tend to do that when I'm rushing," he reappears back at the table in a burst of sparks. "Like when I'm really hungry! It tends to happen on its own, can't help it!"

"It's kind of cute," I tell him, and he chuckles, then takes the seat across from me as he pours milk into two glasses. "I'm surprised my friends didn't try calling up a storm or something. It's weird, actually, with how concerned for my safety they are."

"Yeah, that is weird," he says. "You want to call them?"

"Nah," I answer as I check my phone. "I'll talk with them later. Holy fuck, it's already two."

Lucas must be starting his shift right about now, and Zane's at work, probably playing games. Strangely, he hasn't sent me any game invites so far today.

"Yeah," he chuckles. "Let's eat!"

I dig in to the food, and it's surprisingly good despite his rushing and the gummy bears in the pancakes. Theo rubs one of his legs against mine as we eat, giving me happy looks. He's not doing his zappy movements anymore, the sparks having calmed down a bit.

"You know," I say as we finish our breakfast. "When I told Danny last week or whenever that if I could be with any vigilante, I'd get with Orwitz, I didn't expect to actually get with him."

"Oh?" He grins. "How did I compare to your fantasy?"

"Much better," I answer. "You're sexier than in it, too."

Theo's grin widens, then he gets up and steps around the table, giving me another kiss. I return it for a few moments, then we start clearing the table. He puts the milk away as I start washing the dishes, then he rinses them and puts them in the strainer.

"There we go," he says once we've finished and dried our hands. "What do you want to do now?"

"Cuddle."

"I was hoping for something with more energy," he chuckles. "But that will work. Come on! To the couch!"

Theo grabs my hand and pulls me to the couch, grabbing our phones on the way over before plopping us down on the couch. The couch has a pair of small, maroon pillows, one resting against each arm as if there for decoration.

He turns on the TV to the news as we snuggle, and the report finishes a moment later, shifting to a piece on Lumilxal. Apparently, Lucas spent the entire night hunting down a ring of sex traffickers.

That reminds me that my friends still haven't contacted me, so I send both Lucas and Zane a message letting them know I've woken up and am fine, thank you for checking in. Zane responds a few seconds later.

We came by the apartment building this morning. Some hot guy showed up and said the party went late and you were still sleeping. He wore sunglasses inside. That's so weird!

"Must be referring to Isaac," Theo says as he shoots off a text.

"Probably," I say as another text pops up.

Lucas wanted proof you were fine, and the guy said that he'd never let anyone hurt you. I'm guessing he's your childhood friend? The one you said seems to care for you?

I send back a confirmation, then set my phone on the table and snuggle into Theo. Being naked like this is weird to me, but it's also comfortable. Theo drapes an arm across my shoulders, pulling me against him a little more, then leans his head against mine as the news shifts to talking about Sivalshi's speed having increased by another mile per day. It seems that drop was temporary.

This is extremely cozy, and I both want to kiss Theo and not move from this spot. That comes to an end, however, when the door to the hall opens. I jump, trying to cover my crotch.

"Oh, right," Theo blushes as he looks at Isaac, who'd entered carrying my jacket, gloves, and duffel bag. "Erm. I'm used to not hiding anything so forgot to mention Isaac was coming down with your stuff."

"I'm used to never seeing you with a boner!" Isaac exclaims as the door closes. "And here you are, naked with a boner and snuggling against-wait. You're doing naked snuggles while you have a boner. You're not aro-ace?"

"No," Theo grabs a couch pillow and places it on my lap.

I feel stupid now, there's one right there and I hadn't thought about it. I guess that's what happens when panic sets in, huh? Thank you, Theo, for your quick thinking.

"So you're gay?" Isaac asks. "Or bisexual? Or… uh…?"

"Gay," Theo chuckles. "I'm just really good at hiding my boner and it's never really come up in conversation."

"I've known you for three years, and I can't believe I didn't know," Isaac mutters, bringing my bag and stuff over, setting them down beside the couch. "He didn't force you into anything, did he, Kieran?"

"No," I answer as Theo protests.

"Do you really think I'd do that?"

"No," Isaac answers. "I just wanted to make sure anyway. So is it just hookups, or…?"

"Boyfriends," Theo pulls me back against him, leaning his head against mine. "We decided on that after hooking up. If we don't develop feelings beyond attractions, then we'll just be hookups until we find boyfriends, but I hope we stay boyfriends."

"That's good," Isaac says before looking at me. "If he ever hurts you, just let me know. I can't kill him, but I can definitely make him regret it."

"You'll be at the front of the line," I tell him. "Lucas and Zane will probably be too busy arguing to get ahead of you."

Theo and Isaac chuckle at that comment, then Isaac wishes us a good day and leaves. Once the door has closed, Theo gives me a light kiss on the cheek.

"Sorry," he says. "I'm used to not hiding anything with Isaac. I still can't believe he thought that, he knows I can shift my body's form and use that to leave no trace of my junk while I'm in the spellsuit. When you said that yesterday, it actually shocked me a bit."

"You shocked me a bit," I grin at him. "And not just by being into me or having a dick bigger than Zane's, Theo."

"Sorry," he says. "It kind of happened without me realizing."

"It didn't hurt or anything," I tell him. "Just tingled a bit. It felt nice. So what do you want to do? Because I'm sure it's not snuggle for however long we're going to snuggle."

"Want to arm-wrestle?" He asks.

"I'll probably lose."

"If you lose, you have to wrestle with me on the mats," he says. "Until you manage to kiss me at least three times or call a yield. If you yield, then you have to snuggle me for a full hour as punishment."

"If I manage to kiss you three times," I kiss him on the cheek. "Then you have to walk me to the training center when I leave."

"I'd do that even without losing, if you wanted," he grins. "And if you don't mind others knowing about us, I'll even hold your hand as we walk."

We move off the couch and sit across from each other at the coffee table, then begin arm-wrestling. Both of us know I'm going to lose, I'm much too skinny and weak to compare with someone as trained and fit as him. However, we arm-wrestle anyway, Theo winning all three matches.

Since he won, we move onto the training mats, Theo moving the two training mannequins to the side to give us more space, then we begin wrestling. Lucas has taught me a few grappling moves, and I try to put them to use.

I manage to get Theo almost into a lock three times, but he manages to slip out of it. The third time, he does it by rubbing my dick, which has been getting hard from the skin-on-skin contact. While the wrestling does start off erotic for me, it loses that to me as I try to seriously get the kisses on Theo. Every attempt at getting him into a lock or position where I can, however, fails.

Wait a second… he didn't say I had to kiss his lips. Just that I had to kiss him. My mouth is close to his dick at the moment, too… two can play dirty!

I move my head over and kiss his dick, and Theo jumps, shifting to the side for a moment. I quickly retake him, kissing him on the chest before he manages to pull me off and start to put me into a lock from above. Just to see if I can, I condense myself as much as possible under him, then sink into the shadow.

The attempt works, and I pop out of the shadow of a training mannequin.

"Hey!" He exclaims then zaps himself towards me, sparks dancing off his body as he does. "Got you!"

Theo sweeps me off my feet and begins to flip me onto the mats, and I manage to land an awkward kiss on his arm before I land.

"That's three!" I laugh. "But let's keep going until I'm exhausted!"

"Alright!" Theo jumps down and resumes wrestling with me.

I keep trying to kiss him at every opportunity, and manage to shadow-walk away from him more than a few times, though he always zaps himself over to me, wrapping his arms around me entirely after realizing his sparks aren't hurting me. We wrestle probably another thirty minutes before I completely wiped, both of us sweaty and exhausted. Another shower is probably a necessity now, but we instead move to the couch and snuggle some more.

This is definitely nice, and I don't regret going with him last night.
