Welcome to the Jungle [Open]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Who: Chuuya (thetaintedsorrow) & you!
What: May catch-all! Featuring adventures in Khalo village and Flona Cove.
When: May!
Where: Various!
Warning(s): Possible NSFW, but it’ll be marked.



I. Chuuya in Wonderland

[After hearing the news that Khalo Village had opened up to visitors for the first time in centuries, Chuuya had decided that it was something he definitely needed to see. Who knows if he’ll ever get another opportunity to explore the place? Visiting new places and experiencing the culture there is always fun, so he might as well go while he can!

Of course that means he’ll have to smoke fyrra, the weed that allows those who aren’t full-blood Khali to enter the village without falling into a deep slumber. It’s pretty much just fancy weed, and Chuuya feels slightly more relaxed after smoking it, but it’s definitely not as good as booze. It does, however, allow him to enter the area around the village, and so he does, not expecting anything to go awry.

So of course he ends up stepping on a large purple mushroom and shrinking down to the size of a thimble. Shit.

Luckily he’s still able to use his gravity manipulating ability, and he’ll climb up the nearest tall tree while waving his arms and shouting in a tiny voice to the first passer-by he sees.]

Oi! Over here! Hey!

II. Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi? [Probably NSFW, Closed to CR]

[Once Chuuya actually reaches the village and obtains the antidote to return him to his normal size he’ll need a break to relax, and what better way to do so than to visit one of the many smoking lounges? According to the locals, regular fyrra is available here, as well a strain that causes “an even higher elevated mood, as well as increased sexual desire and heightened sensation.”

Sounds fun, right? Chuuya already has a head start, lounging on a rather plush looking couch in a black silk robe that resembles a kimono. He seems to be in a good mood.

Care to join him?]

III. Flying High

[Temporary flight potions are readily available in Khalo Village, and Chuuya will excitedly encourage anyone who comes along to drink one so that he can have a flying buddy at long last! Will you take him up on that offer?

Oops, he’s already tugging on your arm!]

C’mon! It’ll be a blast!

IV. Tame the Beast

[The Taming Fields are an area near the village where beasts that the Khali have tamed roam free. Chuuya can’t help but wander over to one of them, a rhinoceros-like creature covered in moss with flowers on its horns (called a Mossley by the Khali), and try his hand at petting it. The creature seems docile and friendly, and it leans into his touch.

According to the locals, Mossleys are drawn to two people with positive emotional bonds, and enjoy laying between them. Will you be one of those people? Or does Chuuya grate on your nerves?

Grinning, he waves over the nearest person to share in the experience.]

Ever seen anything like it?

V. Beach Episode

[When he returns from his excursion to Khalo Village Chuuya will be itching for a trip to the beach, and you can find him on the shore soaking up some sun, in the water swimming around, or enjoying a cocktail in the shade.

However, said cocktail isn’t your run of the mill booze; it’ll turn him into an exact copy of whoever approaches him! How bizarre!

Will you hang out with him on the beach or engage in some silly clone shenanigans?]

Wildcard!

[Have something you wanna plot with me? I’m over at arcanestardust! Don’t be shy!]

Comments

[thetaintedsorrow]

True.

[Chuuya is used to the city and beaches, so it’s pretty different for him too. It’s nice, and he’d definitely like to visit again.]

I don’t mind if you need to take some blood.

[Chuuya’s neck and collarbone are already exposed save for his collar, and of course he’s still not opposed to being fed on.]

[steponme]

[Don't mind Shell turning and giving his neck a rather long lingering glance-- but then he quickly looks away with a little blush. Why did that feel embarrassing? It was just feeding, right?]

[But while normally he did still feel tense whenever the topic of drinking human blood came up, as the fyrra starts to take effect, he finds himself feeling considerably more relaxed. It's different than with alcohol, which took longer to come on and made everything feel more dreamlike and distant. This was just... nice, really.]

Are you sure? I'd hate to bother you while you're here relaxing.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Unlike booze, fyrra shouldn’t have any lasting effects, either, so it’s a win-win, right? Except throat irritation, but that’s much better than a godawful hangover.

Chuuya notices Shell’s lingering gaze, and because of his pleasantly relaxed state, Chuuya has no problem sliding his robe off his shoulders and giving Shell a come-hither look.]

You’re not bothering me. I offered.

[A playful grin.]

I want you to.

1/2

[steponme]

[And suddenly Shell is extremely aware of the fact that Chuuya is probably not wearing anything under that robe.]

[Scandalous.]

[steponme]

[But the fyrra is doing it's job to keep him relaxed, even if he is completely aware that Chuuya's invitation is a bit more of a come on than just a simple offer of blood. And he still recalls what Chuuya said about having his neck bit and how much he enjoyed it...]

[But is that really so bad? It's not as though he's looking at Chuuya like he's some object or a hunk of meat to be devoured. He was a friend, someone he cared about. He trusted Chuuya -- and Chuuya must trust him, to allow him to get this close to him all the time.]

[And ultimately, Shell was the one who needed to eat. If he could get the sustenance he needed and make his friend feel good at the same time, maybe it really wasn't so bad?]

[And so he nods. And perhaps feeling emboldened by the fyrra, he stands up off the couch and then settles back down -- this time, straddled over Chuuya's waist.]

Is... this okay?

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Likewise, Chuuya trusts Shell enough not to worry about the guy sucking him dry, and he’s not intimidated at all when Shell climbs into his lap. Turned on, but not intimidated.

And no, he’s not wearing a single thing under that robe, because he was planning on bathing in the village pools after this. That means his entire chest is now exposed, and he leans back just enough to give Shell a very enticing view so that he can decide exactly where to bite.

Just ignore that there’s a downright ravenous look in his eyes...]

Yes.

[He even reaches up to slip off his collar and carefully set it aside, revealing the pale column of his neck.]

Do it.

[steponme]

[Of all things, Shell isn't expecting him to take off his collar. Though he'd denied any special significance to it, Shell could tell it was important to him in some way. To see him take it off now causes a strange warm feeling to well up in his chest... but it's overwritten rather quickly by the sight of Chuuya exposing his chest like that, sending a shiver down Shell's spine.]

[With one hand resting on Chuuya's shoulder, he reaches up with the other to gently run his fingers down Chuuya's neck. Was it more sensitive where he wore the collar, he wonders... well, only one way to find out.]

[He leans in and brushes his lips over Chuuya's skin, searching out a spot where the blood flow would be good without being dangerous for Chuuya. Eventually, he settles down and plants a kiss on his skin, sucking on it to bring more blood to the surface. When he finally bites down, it might just surprise Chuuya in its abruptness, with only Shell's fangs sinking into his flesh.]

[After the rather messy experience last time, he wanted to make sure this time would be a bit cleaner. He's probably bitten himself more than a few times just to practice getting it right... but of course, with the blood not flowing quite as freely, that means there's much more actually sucking on the wound to ensure he draws as much as he needs.]

[Which won't be a lot -- no more than a solid mouthful, really. He didn't need more than that right now.]

NSFW

[thetaintedsorrow]

[There is a significance behind it, and Chuuya very rarely ever takes it off, but lowered inhibitions and heightened desire are good enough incentive for Chuuya to part with it for now. With that nearly all of Chuuya is on display, lean muscles and pale skin littered with scars, both old and new, giving Shell plenty to look at.

Chuuya tilts his head to the side to expose more of his neck, offering it up like it’s some kind of tribute, and Shell’s lips ghosting over his skin sends shivers down Chuuya’s spine. Anticipation is a hell of a thing, and just the feeling of Shell sucking on his neck gets his cock stirring to life between his legs. Maybe he should be embarrassed about that fact, but he’s not in the slightest, instead letting out a soft moan without much concern about whether he’s heard.]

Fuck...

[Chuuya curses as Shell’s fangs finally pierce his flesh, but not because of the pain. No, it’s more a cry of pleasure, born from the heightened sensations granted to him by the fyrra. The sharp sting of being bitten only enhances the pleasure, and Chuuya clings to Shell’s back like he’ll mourn the loss of this contact.

He’s also definitely getting hard, and Shell will have no problem feeling it through his robe.]

[steponme]

[There's a brief moment where Shell stops without pulling back, hearing Chuuya curse, thinking maybe he hurt him too much. Especially when Chuuya starts to cling to him...]

[But then he feels that pressing up against his thighs, and realizes that definitely wasn't a curse to try and get him to stop.]

[But it does have him stop, his head spinning a little as he realizes just how compromising their position is right now. He's straddled shamelessly in Chuuya's lap, that black robe slipping further down his shoulders as he clings, sucking on his neck and biting at his skin... Shell's never actually considered the act of feeding to be something he'd find arousing, but he knows it's not exactly an uncommon thing back home. Hell, feeding was probably just a precursor to play when it came to most vampires and their human arts...]

[But something still felt different. It didn't feel like something Shell was doing for his own enjoyment, or even out of necessity. It felt like he was doing something for Chuuya.]

[And it's with that in mind that he resumes sucking on Chuuya's neck, his tongue lapping at the wound. And as he feels Chuuya's cock stiffening between them, rather than sit back, he shifts even closer -- pressing their hips together to give Chuuya just a bit of pressure and friction.]

[He's not sure how to feel about it just yet, but for all his uncertainty, he can't deny the thrill that runs up his spine at the feeling of just how good he was making him feel.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[The fyrra has certainly succeeded in heightening Chuuya’s desire, and every touch, every press of lips, every lap of Shell’s tongue over Chuuya’s neck sets his nerves alight with an absolutely intoxicating pleasure. Everything feels so hot and intense that Chuuya is fully hard in record time, and Shell pressing their hips together is the spark that lights a raging fire within him.]

Hahhhh...fuck...!

[Chuuya bucks his hips up against Shell, shamelessly grinding up against him as he seeks out more of that wonderful friction. Fuck, it already feels so goddamn good that Chuuya is moaning and cursing with every bit of contact between them.]

Don’t stop.

[It comes out sounding like an order, but Chuuya is too caught up in feeling good to think about it.]

1/2

[steponme]

[Likewise, Shell was relishing the added sensations given by the fyrra, every drop of Chuuya's blood on his lips tasting better than anything that's ever passed between them before. A growing heat settles in the pit of his stomach, surging upward and having his own cock throbbing behind the tight confines of his pants.]

[And yet despite it all, despite their closeness and the fact that Shell is more or less shamelessly pressing himself against Chuuya, when he feels him buck his hips up against his own, everything suddenly becomes much more real than it was before. A shuddering gasp escapes his lips as his fingertips dig into the fabric of Chuuya's robe. His heart feels like it could jump right out of his chest for how fast it's beating. And it's those words -- that order -- that Chuuya practically groans out that has Shell feeling conflicted.]

[Naturally there's a strong part of him that wants to obey. It would be so easy to slide into a routine like this, to block everything else out and think only of what he could do for Chuuya. Hell, he was already there, wasn't he? Even this, even feeding on human blood, wasn't something he chose to do entirely for himself...]

[But he's not so deep in denial that he knows that would be okay. It would hurt. Beneath the buzz of arousal, something about this whole situation feels so foreign and wrong that it has his stomach twisting up in a way that's entirely unfamiliar.]

[Was he a bad person for wanting this? For wanting to pretend and play along, just as he did with One? Chuuya wasn't One, after all. He wasn't his master. He was his friend.]

[And his friend wouldn't want to let him get hurt.]

[steponme]

[And so he stops. Abruptly, with both hands on Chuuya's shoulders as he pushes him back to create space between them. But he's not letting him go either, nor making any attempt at moving off of him.]

[And yet despite the clear blush on his face, it's hard to say his expression looks very happy. If anything, he almost looks scared.]

[He's not really sure what to say or how to explain how he's feeling right now -- so instead, he ends up seeking some idea of where Chuuya is at. He wasn't so affected by the fyrra that he wasn't thinking straight, was he?]

Chuuya... should we-- should we really be doing this?

[thetaintedsorrow]

[The fyrra might be enhancing things, but the desire Chuuya feels right now is completely authentic. There’s been an unspoken attraction between himself and Shell from the very beginning (at least Chuuya thinks so), and Chuuya can definitely feel it when they’re this close. His body may be on fire, but what he wants is clear enough in his mind, and he’s more than willing to spend a heated night with Shell in this very lounge.

And yet before things can get too hot and heavy Shell is pulling away and looking at Chuuya with an expression that screams uncertainty. It’s not a look Chuuya wants to see on anyone he’s about to sleep with, and he definitely doesn’t want that uncertainty to evolve into fear.

Chuuya takes a few deep breaths and forces himself to relax despite feeling like he might explode if he doesn’t come soon. Feelings are more important than orgasms, no matter how worked up he is.]

What’s wrong?

[His tone is serious, but not judgmental, and he reaches up to caress Shell’s cheek with the back of his hand. He can totally be gentle when he wants to be.]

We can stop.

[steponme]

[He's grateful for the gentleness right now, even if it makes him feel something that he's pretty sure is guilt. But should he feel guilty for putting his own comfort ahead of Chuuya's pleasure? Of course not. But that doesn't meant he won't.]

I don't want to stop. But that's... the problem.

[It's not as though that flirting in the bar came out of nowhere. Chuuya was attractive, charismatic, and fun to be around. And also kind, caring, and sweet whether he would admit to it or not. It should really come as no surprise that Shell was attracted to him, especially with all the non-sexual intimacy shared between them up until now. Something like this just felt like the next logical step.]

[And yet the hands pressed to Chuuya's shoulders are trembling.]

Because I-- I-I've only ever been with One.

[Which is a sentence that comes with more than it seems. He's still not over him, obviously -- but he might never be. His experience was limited, and even sitting up here giving Chuuya pleasure unprompted felt unfamiliar.]

[But more than all that--]

Does it... make me a bad person... to want this?

[thetaintedsorrow]

No. It doesn’t.

[If it makes Shell a bad person, then Chuuya must be one too. He’s had his fair share of wondering about whether what he wants is too selfish, but in the end he’s learned that denying himself the things he desires only makes him miserable.

Chuuya slides his fingers through Shell’s hair and cradles the back of his neck before pulling him close again, as gentle as an ex-Mafia can possibly be. Much like the other night, Chuuya rests his forehead against Shell’s, because physical contact will always speak louder than words, in his humble opinion.]

It’s fine to want things.

[He knows that just saying it won’t mean much right now, but there’s not an ounce of dishonesty or deceit behind Chuuya’s words.]

It’s fine if you need more time to think about it, but you’re allowed to want whatever you want.

[Chuuya brushes his lips over Shell’s in a soft, not quite kiss, his words murmured low against them.]

You’re allowed to want someone.

[steponme]

[It feels warm and familiar now, to share such an intimate moment with Chuuya like this. It wasn't exactly a strange thing for Shell to grow this close to someone once he's decided he can. Why, he was completely smitten with One after just one meeting, even if the circumstances between their relationship were a bit special. But it helps make the gesture far more comforting than heated, despite the position they were in.]

[But do his words reach him...? It's hard to say. Shell has his own ideas, and truth be told, he wouldn't have allowed himself to get this close in the first place if he didn't think it was okay to do so on some level. But the thought of what others might think is more than enough to hold him back--]

[Just as it can be enough to push him forward. And this isn't the first time Chuuya's tried to help him move on from something that's holding him back, after all.]

I don't know. I-I might need more time to think about everything. But I do know this--

[His grip on Chuuya's robe tightens, his voice growing steadier and more assured.]

Right now... what I want is you.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya takes a while to warm up to someone on an emotional level, and even longer to open up to them beyond sharing a little bit of his history. Very few people have ever seen him quite this soft and affectionate, and that’s just fine with him. He doesn’t want to be seen as soft and weak, especially when he’s been fighting to be respected for most of his life. He didn’t crawl his way up the ranks of the Port Mafia for nothing, after all.

That assertion is all Chuuya needs to hear, and while neither of them have exactly figured out their feelings for each other just yet, Chuuya definitely won’t let this moment pass him by.]

I want you too.

[Chuuya seals that statement with a press of his lips against Shell’s, a soft and searching gesture rather than a heated one. He’ll give Shell room to pull away if he wants, though he secretly hopes that he’ll be kissed back.]

[steponme]

[There's a brief hesitance, perhaps born only out of reflex when Chuuya kisses him. But soon enough, he smooths one hand up around the back of Chuuya's neck and into his hair, leaning into the kiss as he once more allows himself to slide closer.]

[It's different than kissing One -- and different than kissing Reign, for that matter. And in a weird way, he's almost grateful for that little perfume incident with Reign to ensure that this moment wouldn't be his first time kissing someone since One. It makes it easier to focus more on the feeling of Chuuya's lips against his own, his scent, and the way he feels in his arms.]

[But something still doesn't feel quite right, and he's not really sure how to place it. Is it because they're being so careful and gentle? The taste of blood still lingering on his lips? Or is it simply the fact that he's being allowed to be the one to give and touch, tentatively running his other hand down the front of Chuuya's bare chest.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[The best thing about kissing is being given the chance to commit the feel of someone to memory. The way their lips feel against yours, the way they smell, the way they taste; it’s all so intimate in ways that fucking isn’t, and it’s something that Chuuya enjoys indulging in.when he cares to.

And right now he definitely cares to.

Chuuya leans into Shell’s touch much like a cat being pet, and though the kiss between them is certainly sweet, Chuuya simply has to add a little touch of spice to the mix by gently biting down on Shell’s bottom lip with just enough pressure to get his attention and test the waters, like a silent way of asking if he wants more than this.]

[steponme]

[That little bite sends a shiver down Shell's spine that Chuuya is sure to notice, trying to suppress a soft groan that's only barely audible, really. Now that he's allowing himself to indulge, it's as though all the desire and frustration he's been holding onto these past few weeks are finally catching up to him, and with Chuuya's invitation, he parts his lips and encourages Chuuya into doing the same.]

[Fortunately, the blood breath isn't that bad -- he was far less messy this time, so aside from a little hint of iron on his lips, it won't be overpowering at all. Instead, it'll seem as though the more he draws Shell in, the more he's going to notice that faint scent of roses that lingers on his skin even without Shell actively using his pheromones.]

[But there's no chill that comes along with smelling it, nor an added sense of arousal like during that fight. Instead, it brings the sort of feeling that might just make his heart skip a beat -- a subtle, warm sense of happiness that's rather difficult to place.]

[Of course, whether he notices it over the sheer amount of lust that had bloomed between them earlier is another story. Shell's hand draws lower, feeling over Chuuya's muscles hidden beneath the robe, and rather enjoying the opportunity to touch as he pleases. It's far more exploratory than sensual, but it made for a nice start.]

[After all, sooner or later Shell's going to remember they're still a little out in the open here.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Even if blood lingered in Shell’s mouth it wouldn’t deter Chuuya; it’s actually kind of hot, if not a little gross tasting, and he enjoys indulging in it every now and then during some particularly rough sex.

What he’s not accustomed to, however, is the sudden, subtle scent of roses, and Chuuya wonders if it has something to do with Shell’s pheromones. There’s no sense of fear or arousal when he inhales the scent this time, only a soft warmth that has him feeling relaxed and content as he slips his tongue past Shell’s lips to lick into his mouth.

Of course it’s not long before lust begins to win the battle for Chuuya’s senses, and his own hands begin to wander, taking the opportunity to slide up and under Shell’s shirt now that his usual corset is gone. His skin feels so soft beneath Chuuya’s fingertips, and though it ought to be lavished with a softer sort of attention, Chuuya drags his nails down Shell’s abdomen to gauge his reaction to something a bit rougher.]

[steponme]

[Oh, the reaction he gets is immediate. As soon as those nails drag down Shell's skin, whatever attempts at keeping himself quiet are quickly forgotten, with Shell letting out a rather lusty moan against Chuuya's lips.]

[But it wasn't just Chuuya making him feel good. The fyrra was magnifying those feelings, sending shivers and tingles across Shell's skin. Even just that one touch had his cock beating to life, encouraging him to roll his hips down against Chuuya's.]

[After all, it wasn't as though he enjoyed being punished only because of guilt and feeling like he deserved it -- he definitely got off on pain.]

[And humiliation for that matter, hearing a brief giggle from another patron across the room that only has him squirming even more. It did nothing to spoil his mood, but it did remind him there were kind of in public... what if someone else they knew was visiting here? It's what finally has him pulling back, only just a little... but in a nice trade-off, Chuuya will get to see just how desperate Shell is already starting to look.]

Chuu... Chuuya... can we-- move somewhere more... private?

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya’s arousal returns with a vengeance when Shell grinds down against him once more, his cock nice and stiff beneath the thin fabric of the robe. He hardly cares if anyone is watching right now, but they probably should move somewhere else anyway to avoid causing a scandal. He takes a moment to appreciate how hot Shell looks right now, with his cheeks flushed and eyes filled with lust, and that’s more than enough motivation to get him moving.]

Yeah. Yeah, let’s go.

[Chuuya will wriggle out from underneath Shell and drag him to one of the secluded back rooms, and once the door is shut behind them he yanks Shell down into a heated kiss that threatens to steal his breath away. When he pulls back his own cheeks are nice and flushed, and he completes the sultry look by finally untying his robe and letting it flutter to the ground.

Enjoy the sight of a fully nude Chuuya, Shell.]

You’re overdressed.

[Chuuya starts pulling at Shell’s clothes, and they might just rip if Shell doesn’t start peeling them off himself.]

[steponme]

[That kiss definitely steals his breath away, Shell groaning openly as he's pulled down and crushed against Chuuya's lips. He almost whines when Chuuya pulls back again -- but then that robe comes off, and his eyes widen at the sight of Chuuya's nude body. It has his pants feeling even tighter, and when Chuuya steps forward to start ripping at his clothes, Shell is all too eager to help him along. First his shirt, and then his pants -- pausing only slightly before sliding down his underwear as well.]

[It's not the first time they've stripped in front of each other, but it's definitely their first time seeing each other completely in the buff. And with both of them nice and hard, it really starts to sink in what they're doing here...]

[He reaches out and draws his hand down Chuuya's chest, cheeks flushed as his eyes trail down his body. It all feels a little overwhelming, his head spinning, like he's not sure what he should be doing next.]

Chuuya...

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Shell really does have a gorgeous body, and Chuuya takes a moment just to drink in the sight of him. It’s probably much more overwhelming for Shell, who’s only recently awoken and is still holding on to his feelings for One, than it is for a pleasure seeker like Chuuya who’s had his fair share of partners since arriving on Nysa. He wants to jump the guy’s bones and get lost in the pleasure, but if he needs to give Shell a bit of direction to make him feel more comfortable, then he can certainly do that.

The touch to his chest feels nice, and Chuuya returns it by dragging his nails down Shell’s bare chest..]

You said you’re a bottom, right?

[So is Chuuya, honestly, but he can definitely take on the role of a dom if given the chance. He should definitely ask and make sure that’s what Shell wants too, though.]

Do you want me to order you around?

[It’s not a mocking question; Chuuya wants to know so that he can give Shell exactly what he wants.]
