Kent/Feldspar

[videointhenoise]

"Just once more," they had said when Ellie's team petitioned for it. She was busy with Palmer, falling in love with science while he fell in love with God, and Kent was left to pick up the pieces. He wanted another damn go at it. The Machine had a pricetag in the billions; it was begging to be used again.

But they wouldn't let Ellie go. They wouldn't let just anyone go. They wanted someone who knew how it worked, who had been there from the beginning, but someone who isn't completely taken in by Ellie's words.

That leads them to a dozen people and they end up with Kent. He's blind, but that's not what decides it. They claim that he wouldn't hallucinate the way Ellie did. That he has a unique perspective.

And, he's already proven himself steady and loyal.

He experiences it all the way that Ellie does, but something goes wrong on the other end. Maybe another terrorist attack. Maybe not. All he knows is that he's in the sphere and then, suddenly, he's floating, unable to find his footing until a great crash and he slams into the bottom of the machine.

He groans, pulling his helmet on with a grunt and a wince.

"Fuck this," he mutters, finding the edge of the sphere with his hands. There was a door there somewhere. He just - has to find it.

Comments

[getfeldsparred]

They notice the glisten on Kent’s forehead - they didn’t before, when everything was harried and in the dark- and they think about licking it off their skin.

“Kent,” they exhale, biting his fingertips. “You’re very pretty.”

[videointhenoise]

He laughs, a little breathless and strained. "Kiss me," he demands, moving his hand along their length in rhythm.

"Kiss me," he begs again.

[getfeldsparred]

Feldspar obliges, leaning forward in spite of Kent’s hand to kiss him soundly and sharply. They bite at his lips and lick into his mouth, wanting to devour him completely.

[videointhenoise]

Kent raises up on one elbow, hand still moving, never wanting to leave them. He can feel deep inside them, his cock practically aching to finish. He holds himself back as long as he can but he pushes up inside of them again and again until the heat flushes his body and he comes with a groan and a bite to their lips.

[getfeldsparred]

They can feel when Kent starts to twitch and spill inside of them. It’s a new sensation, intense but perfect, and they shudder softly as they taste just a tinge of blood on their lips.

Feldspar pulls back so they can bear down on him again, hoping he stays hard long enough to bring them off too. They’re so close.

[videointhenoise]

He focuses completely on them next, licking his palm before he touches them again, rocking into them as his cock holds on for dear fucking life.

[getfeldsparred]

Ah, it’s perfect. Feldspar hisses between their teeth and tries to scramble for purchase on Kent’s chest, the feeling building and building and then crashing as they come around Kent’s cock and spill onto his stomach.

“Ungh.” They hang on a moment to catch their breath and then roll forward onto his chest.

[videointhenoise]

Kent kisses them through it, his fingers stroking along the back of their head and along their neck.

"God, you're perfect," he mutters, exhausted and clingy.

[getfeldsparred]

Feldspar wriggles their hips until they’re both untangled, then slides back over them lazily to continue receiving the adoration.

“You are,” they mumble. “You’re amazing. I’m never going to want another cock unless it’s yours.”

[videointhenoise]

"Good," Kent laughs. "Because I'm not doing this with anyone."

He wraps an arm around them. "You feel like home, Felds."

[getfeldsparred]

Feldspar feels like home.

Kent feels like the whole universe, right here in their arms.

“You had to travel across the universe to find home. Isn’t that funny?”

[videointhenoise]

"A little, yeah," he admits and there's a flutter in his stomach at the admission, then he sits up. "Oh shit. I forgot to give them the record!"

He runs his hand down his face. "Oh no," he adds with a laugh.

[getfeldsparred]

"It's too late now," they hum, pushing Kent back down onto the bed so they lay their head on his chest. "You have sex face. Drunk as they are, they'll all know."

Feldspar grins. "Save it for another occasion."

[videointhenoise]

Kent groans as he settles back down. "How do you know what my sex face looks like?" he grumbles, though he's in no hurry to leave. "You don't know what humans look like. This could just be regular face."

[getfeldsparred]

"I've been staring at your regular face for months now," Feldspar mumbles, wrapping them both up in a blanket and settling back down. "I know what a sex face looks like."

[videointhenoise]

Kent reaches up to rub at his face. "Well, I'll work on that," he laughs and curls up around them. "I don't know if I'll be able to sleep," he yawns.

[getfeldsparred]

"No? Then I'll tell you a story," they murmur, happily cuddled into Kent's arms. "Maybe my first rocket ride? That's probably a good one."

[videointhenoise]

"Is this a good story, or is this going to make me want to slap you and Slate?" he murmurs, closing his eyes.

[getfeldsparred]

They pause for a long, long moment, then grin.

"It's both!"

[videointhenoise]

Kent sighs. "Alright. Then tell me," he mutters.

[getfeldsparred]

Feldspar very happily, though sluggishly, tells Kent all about the first official launch of Outer Wilds Venture. They pause at the right points, trying to hit the right dramatic beats, though they soften the blow about the ship completely disintegrating upon impact with the Hearth.

They blink slowly and close their eyes.

[videointhenoise]

"You're right," he mutters. "About enjoying it." Another yawn. "And about wanting to punch you both. I know what you're omitting."

[getfeldsparred]

“You’ve sat in the chair. What remains of the chair.” They smirk a little. It’s fun to rile Kent up.

“You okay with going to sleep now?”

[videointhenoise]

He raises a hand and plants it right on top of Feldspar's face. It's as close to a slap as he can get.

"I'm already asleep," he mutters into their shoulder.

[getfeldsparred]

“Good.” They turn their head and press a kiss to…somewhere. Who knows at this point, but it’s warm and smells like Kent.

When they’re sure that Kent’s sound asleep, his breathing deep and even, they exhale quietly into his skin. “I love you,” they whisper, almost testing it out.
