(no subject)

Life had long since become cyclical for Tidus.

He wakes up. He eats. He mulls around the house. He goes for a long swim. He comes back in, showers, heads to practice. He comes home. He swims again or practices on his own on the deck of his home by the water. He tucks back into bed again and sleeps.

The only upheavals in his painfully predictable life alone in his home come from games, the occasional night out with his team or an adoring fan and Auron's visits. He looks forward to them, no matter the context, because they tear up the heavy, grey blanket that has long since settled over him and smothered him slowly under its weight. He wants change. He wants a life without sunrises and sunsets he has to count down. Tidus wants tomorrows that come too soon and yesterdays that leave too late. He wants adventure, excitement, something to break this mold he has been shoved into as he cycles through his life in a house of ghosts and silence.

Practice never brings fatigue and coming home in the dimming light of dusk brings little hope of sleep when he hasn't worn out his reserves of energy just yet. It's not that he wants to sleep, that's just boring, but it would at least be a change of pace to get truly worn out and knocked to the ground by his own muscle aches. Nothing in this common rotation brings challenge for him anymore. It's likely why he lives for the thrill of games and the adrenaline that runs through him right before he submerges himself.

He pushes the door open and greets the quiet, emptiness of his house with a loud 'I'm home!' that seems to echo off of nothing and greet him in return. He crinkles his nose and tosses his bag of wet clothes from his practice across the room towards his couch.

"I can't think of a single thing I want to do tonight... No one even wanted to go out this time. This sucks."

Auron is helpless underneath Tidus's restless body, although that's not the full truth of it. He could move if he wanted to; leave if he wanted to; stop this if he wanted to, but he isn't. It's his hand, and he's giving it away. There's no way to be a passive participant in this; there's no way to do it and disapprove at the same time, even if there are things he might've liked to smooth past. Like undressing himself. Like asking Tidus what he wanted.

He's hot and hard under the palm of his hand, and then under his stomach when he moves over him, trapping him whilst he speaks. It's another performance, if an unneeded one. His attention is already centered in on the boy bearing down on him, fighting to keep him transfixed even though he doesn't need to resort to these measures. Or maybe he just likes to say these things, feel how they sound on his tongue. They couldn't have spoken like this before. He's spoken to other people like this before.

Maybe he should have kept a closer eye on him. Too late now.

Auron finds his voice eventually.

"I wasn't aware you were making plans."

It's really not an answer. Not to the question he's asking. But he didn't get the answer he expected himself. A simple confirmation or denial, that's all he was looking for. Auron breathes out with a sigh, glancing at Tidus and then at the ceiling shrouded in darkness. He can imagine all of the things they could do without blushing, but it's much more difficult to imagine doing anything for himself. Conversely, if what Tidus wants is a challenge, it would be easy to provide it. He would give him everything he wanted, but he's better, he thinks, at giving him the things that he never knew he needed at all.

"I have no objections.

But I make no promises."

In fact...

"There's something I want you to do."

His hands are still touching his thighs, although there's no reason left to hold him. He'll do what he wants. Which is why the next thing he says is,

"Blow me."

Because repeating Tidus's own words back at him is easier than the alternative. Auron's terms, like everything else about him, are vague at best. In the same vein as his careful, continual touching is at odds with his apparent distance from the whole act. In reality, he's never been very good at wanting anything. His life, as far back as he can remember, has been dictated by the needs of other people. From the priests in Bevelle, to Braska, to Jecht, and now...

It just isn't in his nature. Perhaps he doesn't seem like that kind of man. He's not sure he knows how to explain it.

Or that he would want to.

"How long have you been thinking about this?"

"That long?"

There's a catch in his throat, and he misses Tidus's lips over his own, but very quickly his mouth is elsewhere and he doesn't have to look to know. His voice is rough, senses arrested by the physical onslaught coupled with the unexpected admission. Expecting coyness this far in is a fool's errand, but Tidus has no reason to lie, which can only mean that what he's saying is the truth. A year. Or two.

And he never once noticed. Couldn't have begun to consider.

His assumptions seem foolish, suddenly.

Auron raises a hand to his mouth like he's trying to keep himself from saying — or asking — anything else. His free hand finds its way to Tidus's shoulder when his hips shift up, not involuntarily. He has enough self-control to keep from feeling guilty about asking for this. Not that it seems he has any reason to, after all.
