He definitely wasn't thinking consequences right now, didn't even let them enter his mind. He was feeling amazing, and he had the man he had admired and could joke around with so easily in his lap riding his cock. They were already deeply committed in their stupid young men way that was drenched in sex and hormones that they would start a family and everything would be hunky-dory.
The world beyond this room with all of its complications didn't matter. All that mattered was dragging his hands over Gabe's abs, cum-stained as they were and kissing that neck, tasting the omega. He was so close to that bonding gland but despite all their animated talk, he wasn't going to bite yet. Not like this. He nuzzled the area instead, palms skating over abs.
"Sneak up behind you while you work and slide my hands under the bulge of them, feeling them kick and squirm inside of you," he whispered hotly, nuzzling between kisses. "Want to fill you with them." His rut was taking this as far as Gabe's heat, so they were at least united in how dumb they were thanks to hormones.
Needed to be a serious talk the moment they could think past the hormones that had a strangle hold of their minds at the very least. What to do about all of this, and it was just fortunate there were no actual attachments on Gabriel's side at least. The seriousness of the situation, and what was going on around them even outside of it.
"A good Alpha, sweet and loving," purred as claws grazed against Jack's scalp. "Good, good father to our pups." That didn't even exist yet, but that didn't mattered to that heat dumb of his. Talking things that may never come to pass, but in that moment it was everything he wanted and more.
Hell, guided one of those hands to press against his flat stomach, abs felt under skin even with the muscles relaxed- "Filled with you, filled with them." So what if it didn't make any damn sense.
Neither of them was in any position for any serious talks, unless it was about how much rolling around having sex that was. That was a discussion they were already having a lot, almost continually when they weren't actually having sex. What else really mattered? All the logical stuff was just heavy.
He nudged his head into that hand in his hair, purring. "I will be, I promise. Everything you and they need," he assured, kissing along Gabe's neck. It didn't matter that nothing of the sort existed and would never exist. In the heat of the moment, the sentiment was what was most important, like music to his ears.
He had no qualms about allowing that hand to guide his, fingers flexing and digging into Gabe's abs. He breathed against the older man's neck, chuffing an affectionate sound into Gabe's ear. "Filling you. Will for days," he purred, flexing his hips.
The sentiment was indeed the most important, and may be one of the things that would stick even after the heat and rutting rain their course through them. The fact they'd both said it, how deeply rooted it felt to say it, and the fact that he'd let everything fall to say it at all. To Jack. whatever would happen to them after would have to be talked about, too.
A worry over what other than the suppressants might have failed, too.
"Going to make sure I keep filled?" There was that slow rolling grind of his hips, shuddering a little at the feeling there, head tilted a bit as he let out a soft sound. "Going to make sure so much of you stays in me?"
His hands slowly dragged down until he could stroke Gabe's thighs, still nuzzling his neck as he basked in their hormones as they mixed. He hadn't felt this way about anyone before, not this strongly, and yeah it would fade to something resembling normal and confusion, but right now, it was perfect. Everything about this seemed to make sense, and the sentiment would cling on once they had finally settled.
He didn't care right now on the possibility that both suppressants failed. That would be a worry for another time, one they would have to manage together.
"For as long as we're here together, yes," he agreed, kissing the underside of Gabe's jaw. His hips ground right back, shifting his knot to stimulate them both further. "I promised you'd be full, and I keep my promises."
"Perfect." All and everything that he wanted with this, tipping his head and granting Jack free access as hands slide down his sides idly, letting claws drag a bit. Hips grinding right back as if he couldn't get enough of feeling his knot, and he honestly couldn't. There was something that soothed him about the moment they were locked together, and who was he not to enjoy that as much as he could, especially now.
They both had the stamina to do this for quite a while, and if not careful he wouldn't mind giving him another ride while knotted like this- "Want you to, even when I'm too tired to move- fill me up good. Want every bit of you that you will give."
The heat would keep going, even if he couldn't at a point. Didn't mind if Jack kept going if he could.
He felt powerful like this, dedicated too. His torso arched with the drag of Gabe's claws and his own responded similarly except dragged them up the the length of his omega's thighs. He met each of Gabe's grinds with his own, groaning and nestling his face into the older man's throat as he shuddered with renewed sparks of stimulation. They were definitely in this together, and he seemed to lose track of time he found it so enjoyable to be like this.
He growled in approval, nipping at Gabe's throat. If that's what his omega wanted, he would do everything in his power to make that happen. Of course, if he managed to get Gabe to the point of being unable to move from exhaustion and being sated, he would consider that a win for his performance.
"We're in this together, the whole way," he murmured, kissing beside that mouth.
He bared his throat at the nipping, purring with a little keening sound as his hips still rolled, licking over his lips slowly. So very, very ready to start up a round three then and there like that. See how much more he could milk out of Jack before his knot went down again, because he was insatiable for the moment while full of energy.
"Good," There was that deep and thundering purr, giving his hips a bounce for something even more to get started- "Don't fall behind," teasing and challenging all in one.
Would go on like that for days already, whenever he could and Jack wasn't tending to them bot, keeping them clean enough to at least not get irritable and having switched to Morrison's bed after a few of those days. Hell, sometimes they didn't even bother with the bed, Gabriel having crept up on Jack while he was getting something, shoving him back on to a desk to ride or challenging his way in to getting fucked over it himself.
For the moment? Well, Gabriel was curled up in a nest of clean sheets and pillows on Jack's bed, covered in the clean comforter from his own. A half empty bottle of water in hand and screwed closed, actually dozing properly for the first time since his heat started; not a quick nap between sex where he'd at times wake Morrison up with a blow job. A real and proper sleep.
Surrounding himself with Jack's scent at least helped him sleep while the other was off getting something for them both to eat. Something a little more solid than the snacks from a stash. Nuzzling a pillow he had an arm wrapped around, purring a bit there.
Those had been quite the days, and much of it blurred together in a wash of pleasure and incoherent jargon about anything that came to mind. They had pretty much claimed the entire place at least once. The shower - only God knew how they both fit in there - the beds, the walls, the floor, the desk. Hell, Gabe had even ridden him once on the toilet after a shove that made him stumble down on it, not that he had been doing any business upon that throne.
His snacks had carried them through, and he had insisted they stay hydrated and as clean as the situation would allow. Dozing was par for the course, and he could honestly say that he was sleep deprived. It didn't matter because his body felt like it was singing even now as he was off in search of food. Real food.
Not even the shower and soap could hide the scent that clung to him and everyone of the medical staff gave him knowing looks as he passed them. Most of the other SEP soldiers also seemed to understand that he had been occupied. He headed for the cafeteria, grabbing a tray and piling it higher than usual with food, and not a single person said a damn thing about it.
Probably because he had already bared his teeth to another alpha of the program wanting to needle him for details. He avoided the fight, and so did everyone else.
Tray loaded, his rut on a low simmer especially away from Gabe's hormones, and he was content to grab a couple extra juices, two cartons and milk and some sports drinks for the electrolytes. He headed back to their shared room, having locked it good and tight and leaving one of his shirts with think alpha scent on the floor as a warning to stay out.
Slipping back inside, he set the tray down on the small desk and locked the door behind him. He stretched and considered just moving over to join Gabe on the bed seeing the omega sleeping so peacefully, but no, he was no good to either of them if he was suffering from a lack of calories. He drank a juice, ate a whole sandwich and then some water before he headed to the bed Gabe was curled up on.
He leaned down, nuzzling his lover and offering a kiss. "Food's here," he murmured quietly, giving Gabe an opportunity to ignore him and keep on dozing.
Gabriel didn't even stir when Jack came back- not at first at least, likely speaking loudly for his own exhaustion in all of this. Felt like he was secure enough that he wasn't as light a sleeper as normal either, surrounded by that scent more helping him feel safe than keeping his heat on a high note. Was a good change at least.
The moment Jack came close and nuzzled? He did stir a bit then, leaning up against that nuzzle to return it and a lazy kiss, fingers curled up in to Jack's hair to keep his head in place. Hell, he was brushing lips against the man's jaw once the words finally registered. "give me a minute- or a hand to sit up?"
He felt sore, but in a way that was more sating that irritating, and the nest he'd made that could easily fit the both of them felt so incredibly soft and pleasantly warm. No wonder he'd managed to actually hit a deep sleep while Jack was out.
He felt a touch bad having to wake Gabe up, looking so content sleeping like that. However, he knew that sleep could be found again, and they hadn't eaten nearly as much as they should have given all that they had done over the past few days. Water and his snack stash was all that had been, so they definitely needed something solid and nutritious on all levels.
He stroked a hand down Gabe's arm, keeping his head there with that hand in his hair. He rumbled a soft sound of approval in his throat. "I can give you both," he murmured softly, nuzzling Gabe for a full minute before he was dropping his other arm to help his omega sit up.
"You look super comfortable here. Want me to bring food over here for you to eat? Then you can settle down to sleep more." He stroked a hand over Gabe's head, scratching his nails lightly over his omega's scalp. "You look exhausted."
The nuzzled was very much enjoyed judging by the purring, resisting from pulling Jack on in to the nest with him. Just barely. Sat up with a bit of a stretch, pulling the comforter on over his lap as if that would help with anything, some amused noise in his throat.
"Yeah, bring it over. Enough space still on the bed to set the tray down for us both." Leaning his head up against that hand, eyes closing, "Feel it, too. Don't doubt you feel the same. Been having a sex marathon for however long we've been at it." He'd lost track of the time, which wasn't much of a surprise.
He stretched, letting a few joints pop and letting out a soft and pleased sound-
"Reminds me. How're things going on outside of here?"
They had proven that little, if any obstacle would stop them when they were in the mood, but right now was a time of peace and quiet, softness and bonding. This was a time of caring and providing for his mate, but also to check in on his friend and lover. They really did need a full meal with substance.
He eased away again, leaving Gabe in that nest of pillows, blankets and sheets. He pulled the tray of goods over. Mostly sandwiches but also fruit, veggies and dip and handful of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. He set the tray down in front of Gabe and then moved to settle in on the bed behind his lover, nestling into the blankets too and humming softly. He was sore and worn out. Even during sessions of Gabe dozing, he was on high alert for competing alphas. He had nodded off only for a handful of minutes here and there.
"Going on three days," he murmured softly, propping his head up on a hand. "Mostly training and tactical updates from the various front lines. They experimentally sent out three SEP with their old units to see how they would do, and apparently the government is impressed with the results." He thought for a moment. "End of this week, they are bringing in powerful prototype pulse rifles for us to try."
Fingers combed through Jack's hair when he settled, tugging the tray of food in to his lap with that other hand, and there was an incredibly pleased noise just in Gabriel's throat. For the moment, the smell of actual food was far more attractive to him than anything else; possibly very fortunate as he was going for one of those sandwiches almost instantly. Needed the food, and that showed the moment he swallowed his first few bites.
Like that first moment of getting water in to him all over again, and at least he had enough restraint to eat slowly. Eating a few fruits and all between bites of it to try and get in everything his body sorely needed.
Three days, he made a low whistle because hell it both didn't feel like three days had passed and felt like it had been far longer. "They should be impressed, the soldiers in here have been working hard," to survive, to keep up with whatever ridiculous training and testing was thrown at them. "Sounds good," new weapons could always be fun- "You run in to any trouble out there?"
He tipped his head into that touch, a reward if there ever was one. He certainly enjoyed the feeling, and he allowed his eyes a moment to close. The food he had brought for both of them, but he was more than willing to let Gabe have most of it if the older man needed it.
He was provider, even if beyond this room when heat and rut abated fully that wouldn't hold true. They were both independent men and could provide for themselves, had been trained to survive. Hormones were excellent about turning their usual behaviours on their heads, but there would be normalcy soon he expected. Right now, being provider was important.
He nodded his head. "They have, and it seems like they are gathering the approval to send us out into full combat situations." It would take time. The government didn't want ticking time bombs and had to be assured that they were still responsible and effective soldiers despite their changes. "Nothing too much. A few stares from other alphas, but I didn't need to put anyone in the ground."
One hand kept on Jack, stroking over his head as fingers combed through his hair, the motion slow and steady with a slight graze of claws. Wanted that bit of contact still, humming a little for some of it, even as he ate.
There was still a brush of a piece of fruit against Jack's lips, Gabriel peering down at him with a touch of amusement there in his gaze. A sign to eat with him, because sharing right now was just as important he felt. Provided for, that part was done, but they both needed all of the energy they could get, and that meant both of them eating their fill.
"They'll get it, spent enough of their funds on us, likely want what their money's getting them sooner than later." He snorted a little bit at that, because it wasn't unexpected that it would be picked up on. "You're probably going to hear more of it once it's over and they don't feel like you could bite off someone's head."
That was nice, so welcome. He valued Gabe's touch at every moment, both the frenzied brutal need and also the soft quiet moments like this. He hummed and tipped his head more to those fingers, eyes fully closing as he allowed his protective guard to come down some.
Yet, his eyes popped open at the press of fruit to his lips and he peered up at Gabe for a moment before parting his lips and taking it into his mouth. He made certain to kiss those fingers and pushed himself up just a bit more on his elbow. Both of them had had a sandwich at least, plenty more food grabbed because it might have to last. He smiled, at first curling an arm around Gabe's waist and then reached for a carrot stick to chew on.
"Exactly. They seem confident we can perform in combat still," he agreed with a nod of his head. "I figure once we settle back down, you'll be having plenty of meetings of taking charge of things again, sort out the teams and making moves to send us into combat." Gabe was the highest ranked out of all of them after all.
He shrugged his shoulders at the idea that once he became his more passive self that he would be subjected to the usual ribbing that came after getting laid. It would be worse because it was Gabriel Reyes of course. "That's fine. I'll set the record straight."
Gabriel shifted the tray a bit, just so it would be that much easier for Jack to grab food from it, still eating slowly himself. Really, better to go slow than too fast, no matter how hungry he felt. Too much at once and he'd get sick, just like drinking too much water too quickly would. Was good, sharing a meal between the two of them like this.
"We can. Every training exercise has been a success one everyone got used to their changes," basically a new body for some while others just dealt with more muscle. It was wild, testing their new limits and seeing just how far they could push. Living weapons that would give them the needed edge, and he'd see so much flourish- "I might have to go more hardass after this with some fucks, but I'm prepared for that," and having to talk his way in to keeping his position held if need be.
He knew all too well how some opinions could swing.
Worse because there would be those trying so extremely hard to pry and seriously get details- or insinuate things. Usually the types who were trying to scream of how they had a bigger dick, look how big it is, watch me swing this giant dick around. "That you were the only one who ever had a chance?" A light nudge.
He too was taking it slow after initially scraffing down a sandwich before waking Gabe. Now he picked at fruit and vegetables, adding a little dip to the latter. It tasted like heaven after only consuming snacks for the previous three days. He was also very intent to spend time with Gabe, maybe see if the both of them could nap for a little bit as it hadn't been consistent for either to sleep.
"If anything, we've all been above expectations," he agreed, pleased to hear that they would be back in action soon enough. They were exactly what this war needed, and it would be a good sign if they could maintain their physicality long term. Who knew what they actually pumped into them for these results. "So you're going to put on a good show throwing those jerks into the dirt. I look forward to watching you back in action, Commander," he said, using the title out of deep respect for the omega.
He also knew that tongues would wag and opinions would be voiced. Most didn't matter to him. He knew that he would just have to work harder bringing everyone together and their best to be the object.
He looked up at Gabe at the nudge, giving a goofy smile. "Well, yeah. That should be obvious to anyone looking at us. After all, it's not the size of the dick you swing, it's how you use it," he said and leaned in to kiss Gabe's arm affectionately. Then ate a piece of cucumber.
Definitely hitting high n the results, even if there'd also been a high mortality rate and some just... Well, they got out alive but likely wouldn't be able to fight again. Those were some luckier than others in the reactions to whatever the hell sort of cocktail was flowing through them. "You going to watch my sparing practices then? I'm sure it'll draw quite the crowd," for multiple reasons.
Always had to work a little harder on his end, be better than the best he could be to get somewhere and it had worked. Sharp witted, tactical, an he'd pulled some damn dire missions out of the shithole during his military career. There was good reason why he'd been a candidate for the program, and why he had his position within it.
All of it had been earned.
"Got a pretty good size going for you, too." Of course he joked, ruffling Jack's hair affectionately after the nuzzle as he popped a few grapes in to his mouth with a low hum. Fruit and vegetables never tasted so damned good. "Any particular questions you get needled with before they fucked off?" Of course he was curious, couldn't help it.
While some might not believe it, the results would hopefully be worth it and turn the tide of combat. The first step was to quell the Crisis in America and then they would work on the rest of the world. The SEP was the first step in getting a handle on it now that public opinion had shifted to any means necessary.
"Do you want me to watch your sparring practices where I'm obvious? I don't want people lobbing opinions, but we'll have to face it eventually, right?" He knew it was going to be a bit of a rough ride to begin with, but that was fine. As far as he was concerned, as long as he had Gabe, there were no issues because they had each other's backs. "It will draw quite the crowd though. The sooner we silence them, the better, get back to normal."
He was grabbing a couple of grapes himself, chewing on them one-by-one. He smirked. "All that matters is that it satisfies you." He shook his head at the question, finishing the last of his grapes. "No one dared question me. I think they knew I was still high protective mode and didn't want to risk it. Just looks and a comment. Nothing worth getting stirred up about."
The questions and comments would come once they emerged.
"Don't want you to miss the show after all- Be as obvious or not as you want." Wasn't like people didn't normally gather when he was sparring with whoever decided to step up, or was trying to have a dick measuring contest. Didn't doubt some of them hoped they'd get something out of it if they managed to get him down. Unfortunate for those few, really. "Will need to get a firm handle of the situation," because he still had a job to do. Both of them did.
That was a dark but warm chuckle, leaning down a bit to press a kiss against the top of Jack's blond head, "And it does an incredibly good job at that." This was another reason he got along, could shittalk like this back and forth without worry, because all of it was in fun; even with the edge of heat and rut simmering for the moment. "The usual expected sort of comment, or did you get a particular creative one?"
No getting stirred up, curious as he could be. Anything said once this was over would be dealt with then, this was more people likely sort of hyped up and antsy with the scents at least in their hallway- "Any others out of it for the time being, or were we lucky?"
He grinned and would definitely make a point to being there watching and admiring Gabe for flattening whomever was in the ring with him. That show of strength would be worth the free price of admission, and he knew that there would no question to Gabe's skill and continued dominance even among the SEP soldiers. "I'll be there among the crowd that shows up. I'm going to watch you crush your opposition."
He butted his head lightly to Gabe's lips, purring at the affection even as he slipped a carrot stick in his mouth and chewed. "That is good to know, otherwise I'd have to up my game," he remarked. He gently poked the older man in the ribs playfully, enjoying this shittalking. "And if I have to up my game, you'd definitely be in trouble." He smirked, though it wasn't true either. He had laid all of his current cards on the table and they had both seemed to benefit.
"The usual. Some of them need time to come up with something actually creative after all, so let's not push the luck on that so soon." He finally pushed himself up to lean against Gabe's back, sneaking a strawberry from the plate. "I heard Montigue is out, but didn't stay around to confirm. Not sure he paired off."
"Bring some popcorn." A promise of a good show? Yes.
He smiled a little before sitting up again so he could eat a few of those cucumber slices as well, dipping them just to have that little bit more to them. "Careful or you'll get me curious what you upping your game might entail." Could honestly say that fucking someone on a toilet was a first for him, but hey; handy seat and found out how sturdy the thing was in there. Still, this moment was nice, some little rest before things would rise up again. Still had some days to go before his heat would hopefully be over.
"It's rare for them to come up wit a real gem even with time," and he'd heard quite a few comments himself early on. Would rather keep that gateway closed, thanks. Leaning back against Jack a bit, humming in thought. "Hopefully he's being taken care of either way, good guy." Another alpha that didn't have his head up his ass at least, followed orders well, and knew what he was doing.
"I think that might make me a bit too obvious, unless you want me to bring it to share while you crush your opposition?" That might make the show even better. Of course he would be entirely in Gabe's corner for this. He would back his omega up no matter what.
He secured an arm around the older man's waist so they could still rest together, skin pressed together even if the low simmer of his rut was completely manageable for the time being. "Let's not get so curious this time around, okay? I think we're sore enough as it is without adding in some acrobatics or something," he said with a laugh, kissing Gabe's neck as he grabbed an orange slice to chew on. They needed the rest at this point, going as strong as they had been.
"Right? SEP didn't increase their wittiness." Most of the comments weren't worth a comment sometimes, just a roll of the eyes. He also grabbed a carton of milk to polish off, glad for the time to eat and fill up his reserves again. "Hopefully. I didn't ask. Wanted to get back to you as soon as I could."

Hell, he was brushing lips against the man's jaw once the words finally registered. "give me a minute- or a hand to sit up?"
He felt sore, but in a way that was more sating that irritating, and the nest he'd made that could easily fit the both of them felt so incredibly soft and pleasantly warm. No wonder he'd managed to actually hit a deep sleep while Jack was out.

Date: 2020-05-31 04:56 am (UTC)He stroked a hand down Gabe's arm, keeping his head there with that hand in his hair. He rumbled a soft sound of approval in his throat. "I can give you both," he murmured softly, nuzzling Gabe for a full minute before he was dropping his other arm to help his omega sit up.
"You look super comfortable here. Want me to bring food over here for you to eat? Then you can settle down to sleep more." He stroked a hand over Gabe's head, scratching his nails lightly over his omega's scalp. "You look exhausted."

Date: 2020-05-31 05:02 am (UTC)"Yeah, bring it over. Enough space still on the bed to set the tray down for us both." Leaning his head up against that hand, eyes closing, "Feel it, too. Don't doubt you feel the same. Been having a sex marathon for however long we've been at it." He'd lost track of the time, which wasn't much of a surprise.
He stretched, letting a few joints pop and letting out a soft and pleased sound-
"Reminds me. How're things going on outside of here?"
no subject
Date: 2020-05-31 03:37 pm (UTC)He eased away again, leaving Gabe in that nest of pillows, blankets and sheets. He pulled the tray of goods over. Mostly sandwiches but also fruit, veggies and dip and handful of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. He set the tray down in front of Gabe and then moved to settle in on the bed behind his lover, nestling into the blankets too and humming softly. He was sore and worn out. Even during sessions of Gabe dozing, he was on high alert for competing alphas. He had nodded off only for a handful of minutes here and there.
"Going on three days," he murmured softly, propping his head up on a hand. "Mostly training and tactical updates from the various front lines. They experimentally sent out three SEP with their old units to see how they would do, and apparently the government is impressed with the results." He thought for a moment. "End of this week, they are bringing in powerful prototype pulse rifles for us to try."

Date: 2020-05-31 04:31 pm (UTC)Like that first moment of getting water in to him all over again, and at least he had enough restraint to eat slowly. Eating a few fruits and all between bites of it to try and get in everything his body sorely needed.
Three days, he made a low whistle because hell it both didn't feel like three days had passed and felt like it had been far longer. "They should be impressed, the soldiers in here have been working hard," to survive, to keep up with whatever ridiculous training and testing was thrown at them. "Sounds good," new weapons could always be fun- "You run in to any trouble out there?"
no subject
Date: 2020-05-31 04:50 pm (UTC)He was provider, even if beyond this room when heat and rut abated fully that wouldn't hold true. They were both independent men and could provide for themselves, had been trained to survive. Hormones were excellent about turning their usual behaviours on their heads, but there would be normalcy soon he expected. Right now, being provider was important.
He nodded his head. "They have, and it seems like they are gathering the approval to send us out into full combat situations." It would take time. The government didn't want ticking time bombs and had to be assured that they were still responsible and effective soldiers despite their changes. "Nothing too much. A few stares from other alphas, but I didn't need to put anyone in the ground."

Date: 2020-05-31 06:06 pm (UTC)There was still a brush of a piece of fruit against Jack's lips, Gabriel peering down at him with a touch of amusement there in his gaze. A sign to eat with him, because sharing right now was just as important he felt. Provided for, that part was done, but they both needed all of the energy they could get, and that meant both of them eating their fill.
"They'll get it, spent enough of their funds on us, likely want what their money's getting them sooner than later." He snorted a little bit at that, because it wasn't unexpected that it would be picked up on. "You're probably going to hear more of it once it's over and they don't feel like you could bite off someone's head."
no subject
Date: 2020-05-31 06:23 pm (UTC)Yet, his eyes popped open at the press of fruit to his lips and he peered up at Gabe for a moment before parting his lips and taking it into his mouth. He made certain to kiss those fingers and pushed himself up just a bit more on his elbow. Both of them had had a sandwich at least, plenty more food grabbed because it might have to last. He smiled, at first curling an arm around Gabe's waist and then reached for a carrot stick to chew on.
"Exactly. They seem confident we can perform in combat still," he agreed with a nod of his head. "I figure once we settle back down, you'll be having plenty of meetings of taking charge of things again, sort out the teams and making moves to send us into combat." Gabe was the highest ranked out of all of them after all.
He shrugged his shoulders at the idea that once he became his more passive self that he would be subjected to the usual ribbing that came after getting laid. It would be worse because it was Gabriel Reyes of course. "That's fine. I'll set the record straight."

Date: 2020-05-31 06:36 pm (UTC)"We can. Every training exercise has been a success one everyone got used to their changes," basically a new body for some while others just dealt with more muscle. It was wild, testing their new limits and seeing just how far they could push. Living weapons that would give them the needed edge, and he'd see so much flourish- "I might have to go more hardass after this with some fucks, but I'm prepared for that," and having to talk his way in to keeping his position held if need be.
He knew all too well how some opinions could swing.
Worse because there would be those trying so extremely hard to pry and seriously get details- or insinuate things. Usually the types who were trying to scream of how they had a bigger dick, look how big it is, watch me swing this giant dick around. "That you were the only one who ever had a chance?" A light nudge.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-31 07:21 pm (UTC)"If anything, we've all been above expectations," he agreed, pleased to hear that they would be back in action soon enough. They were exactly what this war needed, and it would be a good sign if they could maintain their physicality long term. Who knew what they actually pumped into them for these results. "So you're going to put on a good show throwing those jerks into the dirt. I look forward to watching you back in action, Commander," he said, using the title out of deep respect for the omega.
He also knew that tongues would wag and opinions would be voiced. Most didn't matter to him. He knew that he would just have to work harder bringing everyone together and their best to be the object.
He looked up at Gabe at the nudge, giving a goofy smile. "Well, yeah. That should be obvious to anyone looking at us. After all, it's not the size of the dick you swing, it's how you use it," he said and leaned in to kiss Gabe's arm affectionately. Then ate a piece of cucumber.

Date: 2020-05-31 07:34 pm (UTC)Always had to work a little harder on his end, be better than the best he could be to get somewhere and it had worked. Sharp witted, tactical, an he'd pulled some damn dire missions out of the shithole during his military career. There was good reason why he'd been a candidate for the program, and why he had his position within it.
All of it had been earned.
"Got a pretty good size going for you, too." Of course he joked, ruffling Jack's hair affectionately after the nuzzle as he popped a few grapes in to his mouth with a low hum. Fruit and vegetables never tasted so damned good. "Any particular questions you get needled with before they fucked off?" Of course he was curious, couldn't help it.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-31 07:58 pm (UTC)"Do you want me to watch your sparring practices where I'm obvious? I don't want people lobbing opinions, but we'll have to face it eventually, right?" He knew it was going to be a bit of a rough ride to begin with, but that was fine. As far as he was concerned, as long as he had Gabe, there were no issues because they had each other's backs. "It will draw quite the crowd though. The sooner we silence them, the better, get back to normal."
He was grabbing a couple of grapes himself, chewing on them one-by-one. He smirked. "All that matters is that it satisfies you." He shook his head at the question, finishing the last of his grapes. "No one dared question me. I think they knew I was still high protective mode and didn't want to risk it. Just looks and a comment. Nothing worth getting stirred up about."
The questions and comments would come once they emerged.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-31 08:09 pm (UTC)That was a dark but warm chuckle, leaning down a bit to press a kiss against the top of Jack's blond head, "And it does an incredibly good job at that." This was another reason he got along, could shittalk like this back and forth without worry, because all of it was in fun; even with the edge of heat and rut simmering for the moment. "The usual expected sort of comment, or did you get a particular creative one?"
No getting stirred up, curious as he could be. Anything said once this was over would be dealt with then, this was more people likely sort of hyped up and antsy with the scents at least in their hallway- "Any others out of it for the time being, or were we lucky?"
no subject
Date: 2020-05-31 10:08 pm (UTC)He butted his head lightly to Gabe's lips, purring at the affection even as he slipped a carrot stick in his mouth and chewed. "That is good to know, otherwise I'd have to up my game," he remarked. He gently poked the older man in the ribs playfully, enjoying this shittalking. "And if I have to up my game, you'd definitely be in trouble." He smirked, though it wasn't true either. He had laid all of his current cards on the table and they had both seemed to benefit.
"The usual. Some of them need time to come up with something actually creative after all, so let's not push the luck on that so soon." He finally pushed himself up to lean against Gabe's back, sneaking a strawberry from the plate. "I heard Montigue is out, but didn't stay around to confirm. Not sure he paired off."
no subject
Date: 2020-05-31 10:24 pm (UTC)He smiled a little before sitting up again so he could eat a few of those cucumber slices as well, dipping them just to have that little bit more to them. "Careful or you'll get me curious what you upping your game might entail." Could honestly say that fucking someone on a toilet was a first for him, but hey; handy seat and found out how sturdy the thing was in there. Still, this moment was nice, some little rest before things would rise up again. Still had some days to go before his heat would hopefully be over.
"It's rare for them to come up wit a real gem even with time," and he'd heard quite a few comments himself early on. Would rather keep that gateway closed, thanks. Leaning back against Jack a bit, humming in thought. "Hopefully he's being taken care of either way, good guy." Another alpha that didn't have his head up his ass at least, followed orders well, and knew what he was doing.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-31 10:41 pm (UTC)He secured an arm around the older man's waist so they could still rest together, skin pressed together even if the low simmer of his rut was completely manageable for the time being. "Let's not get so curious this time around, okay? I think we're sore enough as it is without adding in some acrobatics or something," he said with a laugh, kissing Gabe's neck as he grabbed an orange slice to chew on. They needed the rest at this point, going as strong as they had been.
"Right? SEP didn't increase their wittiness." Most of the comments weren't worth a comment sometimes, just a roll of the eyes. He also grabbed a carton of milk to polish off, glad for the time to eat and fill up his reserves again. "Hopefully. I didn't ask. Wanted to get back to you as soon as I could."
