Work Text:
Snowfall descended on the Royal City of Klein as Edmond sat at his desk, brushing out his hair for the fifth time tonight. Setting the brush down, he gathered his hair at the base of his neck, quickly tying it up with a defeated huff. In a few hours, their Kleinmas party would begin and he just could not get his hair to cooperate. Whether it be the increased static of the winter air or the harsh snowy winds, his long locks had become a hassle. He didn’t want to leave his hair down, assuming it would get tangled as he shared hugs between friends throughout the night. But his normal ponytail looked too bland for such a cheerful event. Edmond let out a sigh of frustration, standing to search out Eiden. That scoundrel always had creative ways to make his friends look beautiful.
Had he been in a better mind, perhaps Edmond wouldn’t have cared quite as much about his hair. He knew no one else would pay any mind to a few stray locks. But along with the holidays came extra stress for the royal knights. While the city was filled with blissful decorations and songs of joy, there was also an upsurge of criminal activity. It happened time and again when bigger crowds flooded the Capital for events, so he had to keep a close eye on bandits taking advantage of the distracted commoners and aloof nobles.
Which meant more time spent with his guard and less time at the mansion. He couldn’t remember the last time he attended a group dinner or spent more than a passing moment with Eiden. Or any of the clan members for that matter. The pressure of looking better than presentable for the party wracked his nerves all day.
As he turned the doorhandle to leave, something crashed into his bedroom window with a violent thud. He tilted his head, relieved to find the glass intact and whatever made contact had fluttered off. Likely a confused bird thinking the pristine glass was an open path into the warm room. But seconds later, a snowball plowed into the window, leaving a wet trail as it slid down the glass. He hurried to the window, yanking it open.
Chilly air blasted him in the face as a freezing hand snatched him by the wrist. Edmond jolted back and Rei hoisted himself onto the windowsill, slinging his snow covered boots on the carpet. “What are you doing?! We have a front entrance!” Edmond scolded him, slamming the window shut and brushing the snow from his companion’s shoulders.
“Going through your window was a shorter path and I came to see you directly.” Rei stared at him with a knowing smile as Edmond fussed over his now slightly damp hair.
Glancing to the floor, Edmond gasped at the mess dripping from Rei’s feet. “Boots off, now!”
“You’re wearing your boots…”
“I am not tracking snow onto a clean carpet! Take another step with your boots on and I will be forced to throw you back outside!”
“Of course, Vice-Captain,” Rei saluted him, undoing his laces and sliding out of his calf high boots. He settled them neatly beneath the window. “You look nice.” Slinging a bag over his shoulder, he set it on the floor and rummaged through it. “The occasion?”
“What do you mean, the Kleinmas party starts in about an hour! Why are you not dressed?” Edmond hastily tore through the room, putting away his stray belongings. Fed up with trying to fix his hair, he resigned to keeping it in his normal ponytail and left his brush atop the desk.
When he turned around, he found Rei sitting at the edge of his bed, arm outstretched with a small box in hand. “For you, and before you ask, no, I’m not your secret giver,” he announced, crossing one leg over the other, a little smirk sliding onto his lips.
Edmond stepped to the bed, gently taking the box. He stared down at the package, admiring the beautiful blue paper adorned with gold ribbon. “We said we wouldn’t do personal gifts outside of the secret exchange,” Edmond grunted, his thumb coursing over the shiny paper.
Rei propped his chin in his palm, a curious pout folding his lips. “I made no promises. Many of the others also bought gifts outside of the secret exchange, so clearly not everyone followed the rules.”
Pressing the present against his chest, Edmond let out a harsh breath. “Oh,” he huffed, his cheeks glowing red from the special treatment. Before he undid the ribbon, he turned to his desk, yanking open the drawer to pull out an intricately wrapped gift. “This is for you then.” He sheepishly crammed the present into Rei’s hands.
“You aren’t my secret giver either,” Rei hummed, his hazel eyes narrowed on his partner.
Edmond’s body stiffened, his back straight and feet firmly planted on the carpet. “How do you know that?”
“I’ve known everyone’s since day one.” Edmond frowned. Of course he did. Rei had a penchant for people watching. Nothing was secret under this roof. “How naughty, buying me a gift and then chastising me for doing the same.” The two were at a stand still, Edmond cradling his gift against his chest, Rei with his in his lap. “Open yours first,” he ordered and Edmond silently offered his hand in return as a request for Rei first. The ashen-haired man only gave him a bored glance and Edmond took a defeated seat on the bed beside him.
He carefully undid the ribbon, draping it across his lap before gently tearing the deep blue paper. Inside the gold foil box underneath was a pair of long maroon ribbons made of beautiful silk. And as he pulled them from the box for closer inspection, his body vibrated with excitement over the handful of small chocolates at the bottom of the box.
“Thought you could use them for your hair, it’s gotten so long,” Rei explained, casually tucking the wild stray hairs behind Edmond’s ear. His fingers trailed the side of his face to the base of his neck, gently yanking out the hair tie to let his long locks flow free. It truly had gotten long, now well past his waist, almost reaching his bottom.
Drawing his attention from the soft fingers now raking down his back through his hair, Edmond focused on the beautiful silk within his hands. A deep shade of red with gorgeous gold embossing along the hems. “Thank you,” he smiled, also draping them across his lap alongside the gold wrapping ribbon. “But why are there two?”
“No reason,” Rei smirked, holding up his present. “May I?”
Edmond nodded in return, slipping one of the chocolates from the bottom. He opened the silver foil as Rei tore into his gift. He popped the chocolate bon-bon into his mouth, holding back an elated moan as it melted on his tongue. Creamy milk chocolate with a delicate hazelnut filling. Not like anything he had tried in one of the local shops, but they could discuss its origins at a different time. Rei had a knack for finding special delicacies while out conducting his research.
Rei paused, intrigued by watching Edmond devour the little candy, as if waiting for him to swallow. Biting back a smile, he turned his attention back towards the present, finally tearing away the remaining paper. Underneath revealed a sturdy leather-bound journal and a gorgeous ink pen. Flipping open the cover, he drew his hand across the blank page, smiling at his companion. “Thanks,” he hummed, closing it to admire the front.
“I noticed you were coming to the end of your current journal,” Edmond explained after swallowing his treat. “I hope this one is suitable for your research notes.”
“I think it will be.” Rei leaned over, stealing a kiss, noting the hint of chocolate that had yet to melt from his tongue. “Sweet as always,” he mused and Edmond flushed with embarrassment, his fingers clenched around one of the ribbons. “Want me to fix your hair for you?”
Offering up the ribbon, Edmond turned his head away, attempting to hide his blush. “Yes, please.”
Rei took the ribbon and pointed at the desk. “Take a seat,” he ordered and Edmond did so with little hesitation. While he spent his days giving orders to his knights, he was quite obedient under the right circumstances. He took a seat at the elegant chair pulled in front of his desk, resting his hands against his thighs. With a devious grin, Rei gathered his journal and pen, following him to the desk.
Now sitting with his back against the chair, Rei sauntering his way around the desk, Edmond felt he was under close inspection. A strange nervousness flooded through his body as he watched Rei’s careful movements. The way he set his journal against the desk, opening it to the first blank page and aligning the pen against the binding. Carefully laying one ribbon over the journal, taking the other in his delicate fingers. He picked up the brush, stalking behind Edmond and taking his long locks between his fingers. Quietly he began to brush his hair, so quiet in fact that Edmond heard the pops of static as he ran the brush through.
Edmond closed his eyes, focusing on his own breathing as Rei untangled the ends, letting his beautiful hair fall against his back. Without a word, he leaned over Edmond’s shoulder to place the brush back against the desk, making sure to press his full weight into his body. A surge of warmth rippled through him, able to feel the curve of Rei’s chest against his shoulders, and he pressed his knees together. He was doing that on purpose!
Rei snatched the ribbon from the desk, threading it between his hands. But instead of bringing it back to tie around Edmond’s hair, Rei slid it over his eyes, gently tying it at the back of his head. “What are you doing, deviant?” Edmond gasped, his hands shooting up to remove the silky blindfold.
“Ah-ah, hands down, Vice-Captain,” Rei barked and Edmond dropped his hands, instead grabbing the base of his seat. Rei leaned over, pressing his lips beneath his earlobe, mouthing down his neck.
Edmond bit back a moan, but leaned into his lips regardless. “We don’t have time for this, the Kleinmas party starts soon and you are not dressed properly,” he argued, his entire body shivering when Rei’s hand trailed down his arm.
“Why get dolled up if I’m just going to take it off… Besides, it’s not like I tied you down. You can get up if you want.” Edmond breathed in heavily through his nose, releasing his fingers from the base of his chair. Breath coursed against the sensitive skin beneath his earlobe, Rei now biting into his neck. “Will you stay, Vice-Captain?”
While framed like a question, it resonated as an order within Edmond’s mind. Of course he would stay. Standing from his chair would only reveal the pulsing arousal now building between his legs. “Y-Yes,” he stammered, shutting his eyes beneath the blindfold. Rei’s smile spread against his neck and the man pulled away.
Edmond stilled his breath, listening for footsteps as Rei rounded the chair behind him. A hand grabbed his right wrist, followed by his left, the both pulled together behind the chair. The second silk ribbon was gracefully fastened around his wrists, binding them in place. Now he couldn’t leave if he wanted to. Not that he would try. “What is it you wanted me to use this journal for?” Rei questioned nonchalantly as Edmond’s breath picked back up. Unable to see or search with his hands, he helplessly listened for his every movement.
“Your observational notes,” Edmond choked on his own desperation. “Whatever you find important.”
“Ah, of course.”
Rei took a seat within his lap and Edmond rolled his head back, biting back the moan bubbling in his throat. The researcher made it a point to wiggle himself between his thighs, placing extra pressure directly on his groin. “Observation note one,” he stated out loud, Edmond aware of the incessant scribbling in the brand new journal. “Edmond looks striking in red… consider the lingerie set Eiden offered for next year’s gift.”
“Lingerie?!” Edmond scoffed, a shuddered breath escaping his lips when Rei shifted positions. He leaned back in the chair, his back pressed to Edmond’s chest.
“Observation note two,” he muttered, his lips against his ear. “The chocolate’s effects are working quicker than expected. He is smitten.” He wrote with such intensity that Edmond heard him cross his T’s and dot his I’s.
Another surge of warmth pulsed through his body, collecting in the base of his stomach and pooling down to his groin. “Effects? What… what was in them?”
“Those chocolates were made specially for you,” Rei explained, an audible thud ringing in Edmond’s ears when his companion tossed the journal on top of the desk. “Turns out concentrated forms of essence can be used for baking. I thought you would show a bit more restraint before tasting one, but your sweet tooth knows no bounds. Perhaps I should have mentioned that before… Eiden’s essence can be a powerful thing.”
Clenching his fists, Edmond reveled in the heat flooding through his body. Rei’s weight shifted again, his knees now straddling Edmond’s thighs. “Y-you-you,” he huffed, his lips parted, tongue darting at the corners. Rei’s hands crept along his shoulders, tangling in the long locks down his back.
“Can’t go to the party like this, can you? Want me to take care of that?” Rei rolled his hips down, a pleased laugh bubbling beneath his breath when Edmond whimpered in return. Edmond couldn’t respond with words, his brain fogged by the increased essence flowing through his system. He squirmed in the chair, eager to bring his partner closer, pulling at his soft restraints behind the chair. When a confirmation didn’t come, Rei’s fingers tightened within his blue locks and he yanked his head back. Edmond let out a shocked moan, his lips trembling. “Vice-Captain?”
“P-please,” he choked, his voice high and desperate.
“Hmm, observation note three,” Rei murmured against his skin, dragging his tongue against his throat. “Edmond loves having his hair pulled.”
“I do no-” Rei gave another experimental tug and Edmond’s words of defiance were drowned by a pathetic moan.
“I can see now why you keep it so long.” Rei let go of his hair, leaning back in the chair to glide his hands along Edmond’s chest. He slowly undid his blouse button by button, nipping against his collar bone and lapping against his heated skin as he went. All the while Edmond writhed beneath him, dragging his thigh up between Rei’s legs and desperately pulling at his binding. Not because he wanted to be free, but because his hands needed to wander. He wanted to touch him so bad. “Behave,” Rei ordered as he undid the last button, shimmying the flouncy fabric down his shoulders to reveal his pert nipples.
A hand dipped between their bodies, cupping over Edmond’s ever present erection as it bulged in his tight pants. He panted, pressing his tongue against the back of his teeth to contain his lewd noises. “To think it was such a small amount in that chocolate and you’re already on edge,” Rei cooed into his ear and Edmond choked back a whimper, tears stinging at the corner of his eyes. He bucked against Rei’s palm, desperate for the friction between his legs. “I’ve barely touched you and you’re already about to cum… imagine if you ate them all at once. Would you like another, Vice-Captain?”
“N-no,” Edmond stammered, digging his heels into the carpet, nearly pushing the chair back trying to bring himself that much closer to Rei. “T-touch me, touch me please- ah-ah,” he begged, his own voice throbbing so loud in his head that he couldn’t hear Rei’s teasing laugh. He felt it vibrate against his skin, however, and knew that Rei was right. Any more of this torture and he wouldn’t last. “Unbutton my pants, pl-please.”
“Since you asked so nicely.” Rei flicked his wrist, easily undoing the button restraining his caged erection. Sliding his hand into Edmond’s pants, Rei bit back a smile as the girth filled his fingers. He dragged his hand back up the underside of his shaft, his fingertips now sticky with the excess precum spilling from the tip. Bringing his fingers to his lips, he licked them clean with a sultry smile.
Edmond all but cried under the slick touch, drowning in the lewd sounds of sucking near his ear. The scent of his own essence radiated between them, a mix of sweetness and uncontrolled lust. The weight in his lap lifted as Rei slid his lithe body between Edmond’s knees, aggressively parting his thighs. Before Edmond caught his breath, warm wetness enveloped his cock, Rei taking his length to the back of his throat in one go. “Aah-ah, d-deep,” Edmond choked, his knuckles white as he balled his fists.
Rei withdrew, sliding off his cock with a sticky pop. “Can you control yourself, Vice-Captain? I don’t want you to cum so soon, I’m having fun,” he teased through a smirk, a warm hand spreading over Edmond’s chest until it found a pebbled nipple. Rei twisted the rosy bud between his fingers, biting his lip at the strangled moan that erupted from Edmond’s lips. His cock twitched, bobbing against Rei’s chin as if begging for entry once more.
“Don’t patronize me,” Edmond growled in return, trying to brush the blindfold against his shoulder, desperate to see Rei on his knees before him. Wanting to see what kind of perverted look was smacked across that beautiful face as he played with him.
“Don’t cum then,” Rei retorted as though it was some simple feat. He wasn’t the one drowning in essence having his most sensitive areas toyed with. Edmond swallowed, wincing as Rei pinched his nipple. The rogue scientist pushed up fully on his knees, biting against the sensitive bud, rolling his tongue over it. “Can you do that for me?” he moaned between his teeth.
Edmond pursed his lips to answer, but his words were lost to a pathetic whimper. “Hmm?” Rei hummed before relentlessly biting down on his nipple once more. Wincing through the sharp pain, Edmond exhaled at the inherent pleasure that followed. “Words, Vice-Captain…” Edmond was so delirious with pleasure that he wasn’t sure how to respond besides not cumming right then and there. Painfully aroused, his cock throbbed with every touch anywhere on his body, his hips uncontrollably rolling forward. Rei reached up to snatch a handful of Edmond’s hair, jerking back his head again. “Can you do that for me?” he repeated.
“Y-yes,” Edmond lied, knowing he was seconds from losing it. Rei didn’t even have to touch him anymore, speaking was enough to push him over the edge at this point. But his stubbornness wouldn’t allow him to give up, so he swallowed down his desperation, a relieved sigh escaping his lips when Rei released his hair. He felt his lover sink back to the floor, his hands firm against his thighs, lips dancing against the head of his cock.
Lkfe before, Rei swallowed him easily, taking his entire length into his mouth with a throaty gulp. His cheeks hollowed, his lips tight around his throbbing shaft. And as he slid back, his tongue traced the vein bulging along the underside. “Rei, ah-” Edmond grunted, trying hard not to buck into his mouth. Rei was already doing a fantastic job taking him completely. His head bobbed between Edmond’s legs, swallowing him whole to the point where Edmond felt his throat contract around the tip. He wouldn’t last much longer.
Edmond returned to rubbing his face against his shoulder, slowly inching the silk tie from his eyes to at least stare his lover down in his last moments of bliss. “P-pl-please,” he whimpered under his breath, the silk cool against his burning skin.
“Hmm?” Rei questioned with an audible slurp as he pulled back.
“Uncover my eyes,” Edmond all but cried, digging his heels into the rug to drive his hips forward. His saliva slicked cock slid against Rei’s cheek and the man on the floor bit his tongue through a grin.
“Now where’s the fun in that?”
“Please, Rei, I want to see…” Edmond whined, visibly shuddering as he exhaled.
“See? What do you want to see?”
“You, I want to see you…”
Rei smirked as he lazily jerked his slick cock, head tilted. “You like watching me suck you off?” Edmond nodded through an eager groan, still rubbing his cheek against his shoulder, but the blindfold would not budge. “Vice-Captain, I did not realize you enjoyed such perversions.”
Normally Edmond would object, but he was so close to the edge that it was painful. And he did, he enjoyed watching Rei between his legs sucking his cock like his life depended on it. How he looked with flushed cheeks, cum dripping from his lips when Edmond finally climaxed. He never told him, but Rei looked stunning in the aftermath, thumb beneath his lip, dragging the mess from his chin. Edmond couldn’t tell him now even if he wanted to, barely able to choke out a syllable when every touch took his breath away.
While he would love to watch the captain of the Royal Knights squirm under his fingertips even longer, Rei feared that Edmond might hurt himself in his desperation. He pushed himself back to a full kneel, gently lifting the silk sash from his beautiful blue eyes. Pent up tears ran down Edmond’s blushing cheeks as he took in the striking image of his captor straddled between his legs. Rei pressed on a pout for his tortured partner, pressing a slow kiss against his whimpering lips. “T-thank you,” Edmond murmured, chasing the kiss.
Briefly faltering from his normally unbothered demeanor, Rei nuzzled their noses together before dipping back down between his legs. His hands pushed against the underside of Edmond’s thighs, hooking his legs over the arms of the chair. Rei made sure to keep eye contact as he drew his partner’s painfully sensitive cock into his mouth with lust lidded hazel eyes. Edmond watched intently, swallowing down his moans when his tongue swirled down his shaft.
Rei looked so delectable nestled between his thighs, his head bobbing, ashen hair stuck to his chin by saliva and drops of precum. A rosy blush speckled his hollowed cheeks before he widened his lips to allow Edmond fully inside. The captain tried to still his hips, not wanting to hurt him with his incessant grinding. But he couldn’t help it when Rei stared at him, his eyelids fluttering, eyebrow cocked. Edmond involuntarily thrust forward, jamming his cock further down his throat and Rei coughed pulling back just enough to allow a string of saliva to drip from the corner of his lips. “Eager, aren’t we?” he choked through a smile, swiping away the drool with his thumb.
“I can’t take it any longer,” Edmond whined through a bitten lip, nearly drawing blood. “Please, Rei…”
Rei pouted against the head of his cock, drawing his hand along his shaft. “I suppose.” He worked him from base to tip, the essence from his saliva soaking into Edmond’s skin. With his lips parted, Rei stared up at him with intent eyes as he stroked him. Studying the way Edmond convulsed in the chair, barely able to control his body. The captive man rolled his head back with a choked moan and Rei pinched his thigh in retaliation. “Look at me,” he ordered, Edmond obeying in an instant.
His tongue hung from his mouth as he stared down at his dominating partner, the pressure building in the base of his stomach. Edmond followed Rei’s fingers as they eagerly pumped his tender cock, the tip pressed against his ready tongue. “Keep watching me,” Rei continued and Edmond only nodded in return, an anxious tear streaming down his cheek. He was so close, his brain static and colors sprouting before his eyes. He shivered violently in the chair until he wasn’t able to control himself any longer.
Edmond cried out, his cock erupting in a thick stream of white against Rei’s tongue, spilling over the bridge of his nose and dripping down his chin. When he had exhausted every last drop, Edmond swallowed down his breath, leaning his heavy head forward while still keeping eye contact with his lover. Rei tapped his chin just below that sensual mole near his lip, a silent order to keep watching. He thumbed the cum from his chin, swiping it into his mouth to lick it clean.
On any other day, Edmond would feign disgust for such an indecent act, but watching him lick the tip of his thumb was mesmerizing. Rei never broke eye contact as he wiped the rest from his skin, leaving no trace and swallowing it down. Once finished, he came to a full kneel, leaning forward to share a messy, essence filled kiss. Edmond grunted against his tongue, the heat still surging from his tired body. He melted against him, tasting his own sweetness against his tongue.
Rei reached around, untying the ribbon around his wrists. He allowed Edmond to go slack in the chair, carefully keeping him upright with safe hands on his shoulders. “Good?” he questioned, pulling himself to stand and helping his exhausted partner from the chair. Edmond stumbled, his knees wobbling beneath him, and Rei led him to the bed. Edmond flopped back onto the comfortable mattress, his eyes heavy, ready to doze off at any moment after such an intense orgasm. “Let me help you for real this time,” Rei laughed, crawling onto the bed and straddling his hips.
Edmond stared up at his partner, Rei’s eyes soft as his nimble finger made quick work of his blouse. He carefully fastened each button one by one, making sure to leave a tender kiss in the middle of his chest before finishing the job. “Observation note four…” he mouthed against his skin. “Edmond can be quite impressionable…” Edmond lifted his head slightly, giving him a glance of confusion as he tried to regain his strength. The bed was so comfortable beneath his tired body. “Those were normal chocolates.”
“I beg your pardon?” Edmond grunted, lifting his head once more. “What do you mean?”
“They were normal. There wasn’t essence in them,” Rei smirked as he helped tuck his lover’s shirt back into his high waisted pants, fastening the button. He flattened down the flowy shirt against Edmond’s stomach, then pressed his hands on either side of his partner’s head. He stared down at him, feigning an innocent smile as anger bubbled in Edmond’s throat. He was too exhausted to react accordingly, though, simply gripping his hands against Rei’s wrists. “Though with how hungry you were for me, I thought for a moment that I perhaps gave you something I shouldn’t have…”
“Why did you tell me that, then?” Edmond whispered, his voice dry from his incessant crying.
It was an unspoken understanding that Rei was rough with everyone in the bedroom. Whether he was demanding to his givers or domineering to the likes of Edmond. Which on some days, Edmond preferred. Being under the thumb of someone like Rei was always invigorating. Treated like nothing more than one of his experiments, someone to be tested to the absolute limit.
What he would never admit, however, was that the brief moments of tender aftercare were his favorite.
“Eiden mentioned you’ve been stressed out,” Rei murmured as he adjusted the collar of Edmond’s blouse, flattening down the ruffled edge with careful fingers. He made sure to pull it high enough to hide any marks he left during their session.
“Did he? I have been fine, I never told him I was stressed…”
“You’ve been stressed. I can tell.” Holding himself up by an elbow, Rei’s other hand combed through Edmond’s now tousled bangs. He drew them back, pressing a warm kiss against his forehead. “Want to help me get ready for the party?”
Edmond hummed through an exhausted smile, his shaking hands cupping Rei’s cheeks. He was nowhere near ready for another strenuous round like a few minutes prior, but Rei was right. He had been stressed and incredibly pent up. Another lazy session wouldn’t hurt. “I think it is alright if we are a bit late,” he admitted, watching the eager grin spread on his lover’s lips. Rei sat up, sinking his hips down over Edmond’s groin, his eager fingers immediately undoing all the careful work of buttoning his blouse.
