That's a Big Bird... (Ori){Mature}

[Deleted]

"Well, obviously I," pause, "am the Evil Overlord, destined to consume this rotting world with my nefarious deeds. Together with my gradually growing army, we will rule with an iron fist over the weaklings which call themselves.....people. Treat me well this day, and you too will be spared and allowed to trail behind me as one of my personal minion, executing my will so that I may continue my naps when I please...." Ok, maybe that was a little much. Saying he was going to dominate the world was one thing, actually doing it was another, especially since Oriel was likely too lazy to even execute such a plan and could probably be twarted by an Oxford dictionary.

Oriel had no intention of playing the "show me yours, I'll show you mine" game with their powers. He still didn't care much about other people's powers, unless they were especially close to him(though now he thought of it, Oriel still didn't know Lux's power). And he certainly didn't want to advertise how pathetic his own was. The only slightly cool thing he'd figured out with it so far was that he could lift temporary tattoos as well as real ones. Otherwise, it was pretty useless considering his lack of artistic talent.

As for the reason Oriel was sticking around....he was lazy. Though he'd have to admit that Phen was keeping him fairly good company. He was interesting, all right. And should this encounter lead to where Oriel was thinking it was heading...well, that was alright, he supposed. Couldn't hurt to try someone new for a change, he'd only had one partner for the past month and a half. Not that he was getting bored with Madison or anything.

"Well, my household was the entirety of the New York City streets, I'll tell you. Trust me, that was polite." Funny how he could laugh and joke about it now like it wasn't that serious when in fact, you had no choice but to be that "polite" just to survive sometimes. Such faraway memories those were, even though it was still only two years ago.

Oriel joined Phen's laughter when he admitted Oriel's point. "Well, then what are you complaining about?" This guy was a hoot! A quick witted fellow that didn't scare easy by Oriel's asshole-ry. Those kind were rare and few in this place. Even if he was a pretty boy, Oriel figured he may as well mark this one for the future. Oriel twisted back onto his side and shifted closer to Phen, arranging himself almost parallel to the other boy while readjusting his legs to keep them comfortably entangled within Phen's. "Is that so?" he echoed Phen's earlier question. "Well, tell me, how far do I have to push to make you uncomfortable?" He tilted his head flirtatiously to the side while donning a half-crooked smile.

Phen's brows crawled up higher and higher as Ori rattled on, until they disappeared underneath his ragged fringe. This guy was nuts. Phoenix loved it. "Oh, forgive me, my great Lord, for speaking t' you so rudely," he moaned, dipping his head in mock acceptance of the guy's offer. "I had no idea I was conversing with someone so mighty as you." His body shook with hardly contained mirth as he peeked up again, and he let out a short laugh. He just couldn't keep up the act, it was too ridiculous.

Of course, Phen enjoyed his own ability very much. He could have done without the wings, considering he hardly ever used them and they hurt his back on the occasions that he did, but the dust was a blessing in his opinion. No need to do anything illegal to get his fix anymore.

Phoenix had every intention of taking this where Ori thought it was going. The guy was showing interest, in a way that was especially seductive to Phen, and he was very interested in trying him out. He had had the occasional hookup in the past few months, but his only constant one was Kam. She was great, of course - put up with all of his shit and gave him a great time - but he wouldn't say no to new opportunities.

"Street kid, huh?" Phoenix hummed. That could have easily been his own life, had his mother not been so incredibly stubborn about keeping him around. He was growing even more curious about the boy's history, but again, he didn't want to seem too interested, so he didn't pry. "Never been t' New York before. S'always kinda sounded like an interesting place, though." He could probably make millions selling hallucinogens on the streets, too. Well, if he was ever in desperate need of money...

"Ach, gotta at least try an' pretend t' defend my family history, right?" Phen snickered. For all he cared, he was a white kid at heart - any sort of culture he might have gained from his mother had been eradicated as soon as he left her house and came to Hammel. He didn't even know a dozen words in the language. Phen's brow rose again as Oriel shifted himself almost opposite of him, tightening his legs around Ori's in case he tried to remove them; he didn't. "Trust me, pretty boy, it would take a hell of a lot t' make me uncomfortable." Another flick of the tongue was given as Oriel tilted his head, and Phen smirked devilishly.

[Deleted]

As Phen humored Oriel with his cheesy glorification, Oriel made sure he stayed the part and kept up his dorky faraway look of regality. Oriel was better at keeping a straight face than most with his absurd tomfoolery, but Phen's failed attempts were amusing in themselves and soon Oriel's own composure collapsed into short cackles as well. Usually, the "dark overlord" routine was enough to scare people off if just for how insane it sounded - obviously, nobody wanted to deal with a mental patient - but this guy was sticking around and endorsing it, which didn't happen often. That alone was enough to add this guy to Oriel's "not-a-douche" list.

"Street kid, huh?"

That pretty much summed it up, though he wasn't as much of a hardened street kid as some others. The only reason Oriel took to the streets was because he couldn't stand being in the foster homes, under the care of people who didn't care. Or only pretended to. And who would shove their problem onto someone else once they got sick of it. "Interesting, yeah," he said with a nod and a fake smile, "If you wanna sugar coat it like that, sure." The city itself was beautiful, especially at night with a good view. But when you get a closer look, get it right up in your face, it was downright ugly. Dirty. A filthy city full of filthy people.

And he was one of them.

There was a brief blink-and-you'll-miss-it change in his expression as Oriel was reminded of New York and his old life. One which contained all of his mixed feeling about everything that had happened 'til now. He shrugged it off and concentrated his attentions of the piece of meat that was laying before him. "So you are a Twinkie," he commented with raised eyebrows. He laughed and dared to inch in closer to Phen. Oriel could easily reach out and brush the other boy hair from his face and curl it behind his ear. He could peer into the endless black abyss of his eyes and make out his own reflection. "Well, then, if that's the case," he started, staying completely engaged within Phen, maintaining eye contact, and slowly sliding his knee up Phen's inner thigh. "I've got this, how shall I say it," Oriel paused as he pretended to think, "persistent swelling that's drawn my concern over the past few minutes." His eyes flitted in "that" direction then back to Phen, "I'm really not sure what to do about it. Think you could," he smiled a devilish grin, "give me a hand with it?"

[Deleted]

Phen was used to ridiculous, fantastical visions, only his were quite real to him; so, going along with whatever fantasy Oriel had in mind didn't bother him in the least. It was hilarious! This guy was seeming more and more fun to Phoenix, and he quite hoped that this meeting would not be their last. Unpredictability and a quirky sense of humor, along with the snarkiness and quick wit, were all extremely attractive features to Phen. And this guy had them all.

"Well, you came from it, so it can't be all that bad, right?" Phen smirked and glanced at Ori. "'Course, you could be an ax murderer for all I know. Should I fear for my life?" He shifted again and hid a grimace as his back twinged. He wanted to let his wings out (it might relieve a bit of the pain), but something told him doing so in front of Ori was sure to lead to guffaws and intense teasing, which he could deal with fine, but he was enjoying where the conversation was going now. He could wait.

Even if Phoenix had noticed the change in his expression, he wouldn't have thought anything of it. He was too distracted with... Other feelings. "Through and through," Phen agreed with a lazy flick of his eyes. The term didn't really bother him, because it was true. He chuckled a bit and watched as the boy shifted closer to him, preparing himself for whatever Ori threw his way. Phen caught his gaze and held it, although as he spoke and began to slide his knee higher up between Phoenix's legs, he had to bite his lip slightly to hide his growing arousal. "That sounds problematic," Phen replied with mock concern, following his gaze down before looking up again, a wide grin spreading across his face. "I'll see what I can do. I happen t' have a lot of experience with these things." Feeling much less lazy now, Phoenix hoisted himself onto an elbow and placed his other hand on the opposite side of Ori, keeping their legs entangled as he situated himself above the boy. Once balanced, he lifted his hand and let it meander down Oriel's torso, tracing his thin waist until it reached the buckle of his pants. "You may experience some increased swelling before it goes away," he told Oriel, putting on a face of mock solemnity, slowly unbuckling his belt. "This is normal." His gaze flicked back up to Ori's face, and his smirk returned.

[Deleted]

"You probably should. New York is a dangerous place. And those who come from it's streets are just as dangerous." People like Kodah, and Xavier. Oriel was his own kind of dangerous, but Phen hadn't even brushed the surface of that side of Oriel yet. Though he'd probably find out soon enough.

Oriel relaxed upon his back as Phen climbed over him, his gaze mirroring Phen's as he turned his attention down then back up to reunite their eyes. Even as he slid his hand down, Oriel kept it constant and unyielding, as if he were entranced by the subtleties in Phen's expression as he iterated his reply to Oriel's invitation. He allowed a smile to slowly emerge on his lips, hesitant at first, but widening with mirth as Phen slid his hand over Oriel's chest, his abs, across his waist, and finally onto his belt, all the while keeping his white hot gaze on Phen's coal black eyes.

His eyes fluttered shut as he breathed in sharply when Phen started working on his belt. "Wait," Oriel said in a deep, yet desperately hushed voice. Oriel calmly placed his hand over Phen's to stop him. "It's so...public here," he remarked. With a slow, deliberate turn of his head, Oriel looked out to the rest of the pond area and then returned his eyes to look up at the other boy, a slight plead twinkling behind those irises. "We should relocate." It wasn't a question, or a request, but an expectation. Oriel lifted his hand to lightly trace over those exotic asian features with the tips of his fingers, across his flat nose, over his smooth cheekbones, then back to curl that silky black hair behind Phen's ear. Then, with that same gentle touch, he slowly guided the boy's face down so that Oriel could meet Phen's lips with his own.

While the boys were engrossed in the kiss, Oriel slowly began to sit himself up while he took both of Phen's hands in his own and steadily led the other boy backwards. When their lips finally parted, both boys were upright, Phen on his knees and Oriel with twisting around to get there. However Oriel made sure to keep his foot neatly tucked away within the cusp of the asian boy's pants. Oriel stared yet again into the void of Phen eyes, lowering his chin ever so slightly, while wearing a small, seductive smile. "Your room," he said succinctly.

[Deleted]

"I'll keep that in mind," Phoenix assured Oriel, tucking a faint warning into the back of his head - this kid was probably more dangerous than he may seem, and Phen wasn't going to trust him. Well, not that he really trusted anyone, of course - he had tried that with people in the past, and it had always resulted in pain. Not anymore.

Others might have been discomforted by the intensity of Oriel's gaze, but Phen just found it captivating, and he only broke it to make sure he could see what he was doing so he didn't end up fumbling with the belt. He tried to keep his breathing even, but being so close to the gorgeous boy and preparing himself for what was coming was making his heart beat faster, and it was starting to come heavier as he prepared to pull off the strip of leather and begin to unzip his pants...

But then Ori placed his hand on Phoenix's, and the Asian boy gave him a wary look before following his gaze out over the pond and surrounding area. "Ah," he breathed, biting his lip. He hadn't even really been paying attention; he was captivated enough with what he had been doing to completely forget where they were. He smirked at Ori's 'expectation. "That can be arranged," he nodded slowly. Before he could move to get off of Oriel, however, he found the boy's hand tracing over his face, a surprisingly gentle touch from the snarky guy. Phen's eyelids fluttered as he tucked a stray strand of hair behind his ear, and he found himself being guided towards Oriel's beautiful, perfect lips.

He dove into the kiss wholeheartedly, gripping onto Ori's hands as he felt himself slowly being guided back onto his knees. Phen lightly bit his bottom lip, sucking softly before finally breaking away and finding himself upright with Ori still somewhat tangled against him. Phen's breathing was still heavy, and he met the boy's gaze, returning the smirk with a low, husky chuckle. "You read my mind." Keeping a hold of Oriel's hands, he tugged both of them to their feet before leading them to his room, slowly meandering his arm around to grope Ori's rear while they walked.

It was a short time before they reached his place, and it wasn't much to show off - mostly bare, with an occasional shirt strewn across the bed or floor and a couple of sketchbooks open on his bedside table to reveal some very colorful and abstract sketches of Phen's visions. The pixie boy ignored it all and waved a dramatic hand for Oriel to come inside, before shutting his door firmly and locking it behind him. No need to risk someone barging in and interrupting them. "Welcome to my lair," he smirked, walking up behind Oriel and wrapping his arms around his hips, slowly tugging off his belt as he pressed several long, slow kisses down the side of his neck.

[Deleted]

This guy was really so easily excitable, Oriel was going to have a grand time taming him. While Oriel himself was obviously excited, courtesy the indicative bulge in his jeans, he had much more self control over his impulses than this sex-crazed loon, which allowed Oriel to think and consider and strategize on how he could get the most enjoyment out of this encounter.

Still, it was hard to not instantly react to the tickles in his stomach which shimmied all the way down to his nether regions.

Oriel had to admit the boy was a good kisser, though it seemed like was going to expend all his stamina on that kiss alone. Once they parted, Oriel took in and released a slow breath while Phen agreed to relocating. Oriel kept his smile steady, breaking it into a slightly open grin when Phen's hands wandered as they walked, while keeping his gaze on the other boy as much as he could afford until they finally arrive at Phen's dorm room.

It was interesting to discover that this boy Phen was also an artist, just like Madison, though their styles were obviously different. Maybe Oriel would give Phen a demonstration of his power later...after.

Phen was excited like a child despite being older(not that Oriel knew that) and Oriel showed off his teeth once more to show his appreciation. Arms clasped around Oriel from behind and he tilted his neck to allow Phen easier access to adorn the boy's skin with succulent kisses. Oriel responded by paralleling his own arms around Phen's and wrapping his hands on top of those hands once again working on Oriel's belt, once again halting Phen's progress. "Hey," he started, "I just realized something." Oriel twisted himself around to match his gaze with the slightly taller boy and widened his smile into one of incredulous amusement. "I don't know your name." He gave a low chuckle at this careless oversight.

[Deleted]

Phen couldn't quite help being so obvious in his desires. It wasn't all that often that he made such a great snag so easily, and he fully intended to take full advantage of the opportunity as soon as he could. He hated chasing - he was far too lazy for that. No, this was perfect, and Phen could have nearly giggled aloud at the wonderful responses Oriel was giving him.

He didn't, of course. Phen wasn't quite that childish.

He did, however, like the fact that the boy didn't seem to mind his wandering hands, and that intoxicating grin was impossible not to respond to. Phoenix found himself grinning against his will, and tried to clamp it down by pursing his lips together. Once they reached his room, however, those lips were very focused on ravishing the soft, delicate skin of Oriel's neck, which the boy so wonderfully exposed more easily for Phen's pleasure. He paused, though, as Ori's hands made him stop working at undressing him, and Phoenix's brow furrowed. He was about to ask what the problem was when the boy spoke. "Hm?" Phen hummed, tilting his head curiously before Oriel explained himself.

Phoenix blinked, then let out a low, amused chuckle. "Does it really matter?" he challenged, quirking an eyebrow before dropping the attitude with another laugh. "It's Phoenix, as if I'm anythin' like a great magical bird bein' born outta fire." He licked his lips, his gaze dropping down to Oriel's mouth before he looked up into his eyes again. "Phen works just fine, though. Or Sexy, or 'Harder'..." He snorted with amusement, letting his fingers make circular motions against Oriel's back. "What about you, pretty boy?" he questioned, slowly easing his hands onto Ori's belt once more. He fidgeted with the object, but didn't move to keep taking it off until the boy answered.

[Deleted]

And this was the part where Phen and Oriel's preferences differed greatly. While Phen didn't enjoy chasing because of inherent laziness, Oriel lived for it. He loved the chase. The thrill. The tease. The cat and mouse games. He loved it all! There was nothing more satisfying to him than driving his partner to suffering as he reached his limit, all the way to the breaking point, and then denying them that sweet release. "Phoenix," he repeated in a low voice. With a smirk, Oriel hungrily licked his lips. "I like it."

Oriel was, in all respects, a predator. And Phen had just become his prey.

"My name?" Oriel gave a low chuckle. "Why, I already gave it to you," he said, turning around to give Phoenix a taste of what he was in for.

--Fade to black--

The two boys sat upon the bed, their delicacies hidden by the thick comforter that had gotten mussed up over the past...hour? Half-hour? Oriel really wasn't keeping track of the time, though he supposed he really should. "How much longer?" he asked Phen with a sour face.

A flying fish with gossamer wings floated in front of Oriel. He bat it away with a wave of his hand, accomplishing absolutely nothing. "Stupid hallucinations!" he grumbled, folding his arms like a petulant child. "I hate you, you know that right?" Of course he did, Oriel had been saying it over and over for the past...hour? half-hour? Oriel growled.

[Deleted]

Phoenix watched Oriel with lazy eyes, a wide, content smile on his face as he watched the poor boy react to the hallucinations. He was feeling the effects too, of course - but he was used to them, so he barely even paid them heed, instead focusing on the beauty of the boy he had just shared an... Interesting time with. "Mm, maybe... Fifteen minutes?" he replied lowly, reaching out to trace his thumb against Oriel's jawline. He wasn't exactly sure if that was accurate, but it couldn't be much more.

"What do you see?" he grinned, snuggling closer to the boy and wrapping his arms around his stomach, pressing soft, tender kissed up and down his neck. "Oh, I know," he hummed against Oriel's skin, smirking as he continued to tease the sensitive area with his lips and tongue. "You're cute when you're angry." He didn't want to irk Oriel too much, but he was having way too much fun with the boy's reactions.

[Deleted]

Fifteen minutes.

Oriel would have to say he was a patient person(when he wanted to be and not without copious complaints), but he was really starting to lose his with this stupid hallucinogen. Oriel was going to have to put some serious consideration into whether or not to make this kid his new toy. Seriously, he had better things to do than waste an hour of his time tripping out every time he needed a release.

"Oh, wouldn't you like to know," Oriel snapped back, still not pleased with Phoenix. What annoyed him even more was how stupidly easygoing his bed-mate was about getting all doped up....then again, Phen was probably used to it. Jerk.

He also hated how incredibly adorable and attentive Phen was. How compliant he was. He was a cuddler. Such a complete contrast from Madison...damn! Oriel leaned in and tipped Phoenix's chin upwards, taking his lips in a long, sensuous kiss. "God, I hate you," he repeated once he broke away and leaned back against the headboard.

Oriel was silent for another moment while he wrapped his arm around Phen. Then he spoke again, wanting to confirm something. "You weren't, like, tripping out on this junk when we started this whole mess, right?"

[Deleted]

There were some precautions Phen could take so that the dust explosion wouldn't happen again. None of them would be completely foolproof, but they would make the situation less likely. He really wouldn't mind seeing Oriel like this again (okay, he really really wanted to see Oriel like this again), and he would go to the effort of trying not to let the dust get in the way of their relations.

"I would," Phen replied with a grin. He was interested if Oriel was seeing the same things that he was. Probably not, but it would still be intriguing to know. He had been taking drugs for... A good portion of his life, so of course he was used to this sort of stuff.

Phoenix hummed happily as Oriel took his chin in his hand and met their lips together, getting used to the feeling of their mouths molding against one another after so many kisses in such a short period of time. "So you've told me... A thousand times," he smirked, giving Ori's side a pinch as they both settled deeper into the bed.

He rested his head on Oriel's shoulder, letting himself get lost in his own hallucinations for a moment before his bedmate spoke again. "Mm, I was when I went to the pond," he admitted, tracing shapes on Oriel's side with his thumb. "But it wore off by the time you first kissed me." He looked up at Oriel then, a faint hint of seriousness in his eyes. "But if it really bothers you that much, I'll try to make sure this doesn't happen... Next time." As much amusement as Phoenix was getting out of this, he wasn't that cruel - he wouldn't want Oriel to suffer through it again if he didn't want to.

[Deleted]

"Well, to bad. You ain't gonna hear them." Oriel didn't want anyone to know what it was he was seeing. Right now, it was pretty tame, but when it first hit....Oriel was so disoriented that he wasn't sure which way was up, what was down, where Phen was, hell, he couldn't even tell where he was. And that scared, no, terrified him. Oriel did not like it when he wasn't in control of even his own senses. Phoenix had no idea just how close Oriel was to completely losing it.

If there was a way around the dust, then Oriel was all for keeping up this thing whatever it was they had. He wasn't sure how much he liked Phen, but he sure knew he liked the sex. And that's what made it so haaard to decide.

"'Try' you say? Exactly what were you planning on doing? Give me a gas mask or something?" Though that could be a pretty interesting prop. Oriel laughed, almost not realizing that he'd already assumed there would be a next time....guess Oriel had already made his decision.

Oriel shifted to wrap an arm around Phoenix, letting his fingers touch where there was a distinct red mark on Phen's arm. He gave a low growl before sighing hard and asking, "I didn't hurt you too much when I....um...." Oriel didn't really wan't to say. "It's probably gonna bruise...."

[Deleted]

Phen gave a mock pout. "You're no fun," he sighed. Hallucinations for Phoenix could be scary sometimes, though, so he was sure it had been a rough ride for the poor guy - the only thing that really bothered the pixie-winged boy now was when he showed up in his visions. It didn't happen very often anymore, but Phen always closed his eyes and held his breath until Rue left his imaginary world. He couldn't take seeing him. Not after all this time.

"Pff, cover up this beauty inna face mask? Please," Phen teased, cupping his hands under Oriel's jaw and giving a smirk. "I'll be more careful, for one thing. An' I'll get it outta my system previous to fuckin' you." He only had a limited amount, after all; a good douse beforehand, and he would be dry for a couple hours. He hadn't used very much on himself earlier today, and a new bedmate always got him more excited than usual, which was why it had happened this time.

Phen's eyes dropped down to where Oriel was touching his arm. In all honesty, he had almost forgotten about the cruel slap with the ruler. Now that his lover mentioned it, it did sting a little, but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle. "Ach, it's fine," he assured Oriel, raising the injured arm and flexing his fingers. "And if it bruises, well, I guess you'll have just left your mark, eh?"

He grinned a bit and rolled onto his side, facing the boy. "What about you? Any lingering pain down there?" If Oriel's screams had meant anything, it had been a less-than-smooth ride for him. Phoenix nestled himself against the boy's chest, unable to keep himself away from Oriel's warm, comfortable figure.

[Deleted]

Previous to...? Oh, no~!

"What, you think you're always gonna be on top? Heeelllllll no, you gotta, ya know, mix it up a bit." At least that's how he was used to. Oriel definitely preferred being the fucker, though admittedly, he was usually Ok with being the fuckee so long as he got his...ahem....tendencies out of the way first. But this guy wasn't Madison. Oriel still didn't know how much Phoenix would be able to take, nor if he even liked it. Plus, this particular session had been completely ad-libbed on the fly, Oriel usually put a lot more thought into his....games.

Arg!

"Yah, well. I wanted to go easy on you a bit. First times 'n all." Testing his limits etc etc. "If it's too much, then...you can just say something and I'll back off..." Shit, this was more awkward than he thought it was going to be. Oriel wasn't used to this whole "communication" stuff, even though he'd tried so many times with Madison. Guess that was a plus in Phen's favor.

Speaking of communication, Oriel did not expect Phoenix to ask about... Oriel clenched his teeth and furrowed his brow, trying to hide the flush in his neck. He wasn't used to people asking about his well being. "I'm fine! You don't gotta....!" he started to yell. Oriel took a sharp, yet deep breath as he tried to reign himself in. "That shit hurts, you know," he mumbled through gritted teeth as he looked away. Still, he responded to Phen's touch by pulling him in closer, cupping his hand over Phen's shoulder.
