Did it?

[They liked to dance, so set on their stubbornness and the long standing guilt of the past that they carried with them. Not allowed to have nice things, remember? They had been avoiding the good things, had argued about it since he had arrived here.

But the fact was he did want. He had for decades, but it had never been the right time. Duty, missions, politics... the list went on and on, the delays kept adding up.

He looked at Gabe, meeting the older man's gaze.]

I'm not going to push you away. I have loved you for decades, you old goat.

[He leaned in, kissing the corner of Gabe's mouth. He looked down when he felt a grip on his finger, noting the greenery that had been on Gabe was now curled around his finger and Gabe's wrist.

At first confused, then the sudden urge hit him and his ears pricked forward and his tail rose from between his legs. His lips brushed back against Gabe's lightly, searching the older man's face.]

Yes.

[As if what had been stopping him from ever acting just wasn't there anymore, a part of him was free to act on that want. The worries gone for a moment before reality had forced itself back in between that want and the fear of what could happen. Slammed back in full force-

But still some sort of buffer there, holding that back enough to keep him from turning back in to himself. From pushing away in retaliation in some effort to protect himself when he felt like he was being pushed.]

Doesn't stop the fear. [Obviously.

Mistletoe here was never normal, but this was the first time it was ever actively hunting down people. Still some little whine at the kiss to the corner of his mouth. Almost unsure at first-

Then there was Jack being a bit more forward, the change in his own body language as fingers gripped at his hip. Ears more dropped than pinned back, leaning more in to the kiss and returning it with some almost questioning sound in the back of his throat. Cautious.]

I know. Fear is what holds everyone back.

[It's what allowed him to use excuses of duty, missions, politics, the opinions of others, the opinion of himself about himself from acting on anything regarding Reyes. The man had always felt so far out of his league until that whole pollen incident. Then it was trying to stuff all that back in the box because they were complicated people with a lot of baggage.

The strange plant which he thought might be some kind of mistletoe erased that fear, pushed the natural feelings he had been living with for years upon years more freely. It was like the pollen without ever feeling forced, like this was all his, like they both had a hand on the wheel.

Yet, he took it slow to allow Gabe time to reconsider and step away. Their body language changed together, and he gave a small curious peck on the mouth, letting Gabe come to him. A low growling sound, something to use in play and encouragement, coming from his throat.]

[Very much some kind of mistletoe, white berries and all despite how much more like a creeping vine that it looked to be.

Gabriel pushed forwards a bit more, reacting to the growl and letting his lips press a bit more firmly against Jack's in reply to that small peck of a kiss. Arm wrapped loosely around the other man's waist one again, holding him in a way they both could step away from easily.

He didn't want to step away, instead he wanted to keep pressing forwards. Move his body up against Jack's as his own tail started some slow way rather than keeping curled against the backs of his legs.]

[His finger tightened on the mistletoe, holding it where it connected them together over the span of Gabe's hand. Maybe it was interference, but maybe it was the kind that both of them needed at this point, what with their brakes-on, too-sensitive ways of going about things thus far.

When Gabe came to him and the kiss was bolder, his hand slid up to hold the side of the older man's face to cup it. He actually stepped in, turning his face just enough to allow them a bigger, bolder kiss. He closed his eyes, putting trust in this as the wash of want from the mistletoe emphasized what he had been sitting on for years.

His other arm moved from gripping Gabe's chest to around the other's back. It seemed they were committed now.]

[Bigger and bolder, letting the want of his seep in through that kiss as some low growl rumbled in his chest. Catching a bit in his throat, all the more encouraging that anything else with that noise. Hips pressed in against Jack's as a leg moved enough that a paw set in just behind Jack's heel.

Definitely growing bolder in his actions, even as eyes kept close and letting himself feel it, relying more on touch than anything else to know what he was doing.]

[Maybe this was some trick of the plant wrapped around them. It happened before, and why wouldn't it happen again? This time felt different, but he was willing to just give in now that they had started. Would they go back to being awkward and not willing to bridge the gap that held them back when not under the influence? He had no idea.

Right now, he was living the moment. Finally, it was a moment that wasn't combat.

Kissing was not something he did often, though apparently more here and with this man in particular. He deepened the kiss as his hand moved to the back of Gabe's head, and he teased his tongue against the tip of Gabe's lips, sounding off with another growl.]

[The vine was wrapped securely around one hand each, keeping them held together in a way, linked in more ways than that press of lips. More a loose and encouraging wrap than anything forceful.

Somehow Jack was going to be pressed back against the ground, starting in some low dip as Gabriel took that tease of tongue as an open invitation when paired with that growl. Returning his own and positioning himself partially in the other's lap. Ho did they get down on the ground?

Didn't matter. didn't matter at all. What did matter was Gabriel straddling Jack's hips and keeping up that kiss. Parting his lips with a tease of his own tongue and a low growl in his throat.]

[The fact that he found himself on the ground after a lean was surprising, but in a good way. They had never been gentle with each other physically, so if Gabe wasn't pulling some kind of physical contest with him at some point, it just wasn't them. He didn't even contest, not yet anyway.

No, his hand remained firm on the back of Gabe's head, not allowing the older man to escape as they changed positions and kissed. There was a heat in his belly he hadn't felt in years, and he was not letting that go until that damned plant let them go, but right now... he was living this to the fullest.

He bucked his hips under Gabe's weight, feeling the press of those thighs on his hips. He growled louder and with more demand, then tried to get his tongue into Gabe's mouth to ravage it.]

[That tail of Gabriel's was practically thumping just between Jack's thighs with the way he was straddling him. Seated in his lap with hips firmly planted against his, keeping the other man sat up just enough this was easy for them both. Sitting there on the ground of the greenhouse, warm and in such perfect privacy, really.

Hips rolled against that buck, grinding in some teasing reply and a lower rumbling growl to go with it. A little challenging, but more so encouraging.

Hell, lips parted gladly in welcome of Jack's tongue. Letting his own curl to meet it, sucking it further in to his own mouth with a groan as it turned in to an open mouthed kiss. Claws dragging up Jack's spine as Gabriel soon curled fingers in to hair at the back of his head.]

[His tail had less room to move around, but it was definitely under the gentle whapping of Gabe's, which was an interesting sensation and one he didn't realize he would like until it actually happened. His own tail more brushed up against Gabe's, making contact where he could but sometimes just bumping against the older man's ass.

Sitting up as they were, his hands finally shifted so he could stroke his hands up and down Gabe's back twice and then gripped in, leaving bruises of his fingertips without even caring. He should, but this was all natural feeling and he wanted.

His tongue swept around Gabe's mouth, teasing tongue that came at him and moaning as they kissed like they were trying to steal one another's breath away. Those claws in his back? Definitely something he enjoyed receiving as well as giving.]

[Bruises would fade, but that didn't mean that something bout the feeling of Jack' fingers digging in their grip didn't send a shudder along his spine. A very good shudder that had him groaning into that kiss with something of a needy whine near the end of it. Almost some unspoken plea in that muffled noise.

Thighs squeezed against Jack's sides as Gabriel simply pressed himself that much more firmly against him, fitting them together as his tail thumped continuously then. Against Jack's own tail and the insides of clothed thighs without a care in the world, all of his focus more on mouths and where hands were going.

Rough and messy, full of a mix of need and want as Gabriel practically lapped the inside of Jack's mouth. Catching that tongue in his own to suck on and tease, letting teeth graze a little as his head tipped to keep that kiss deep.]

[His hips rocked up against Gabe's ass as they sat there in the dirt, and his hands continued to alternate between stroking and gripping on Gabe's back. There was hair to protect, but with his strength, he was barely holding himself in check, plunging deeper and deeper into this whole change of pace.

He made a lewd sound at the sucking on his tongue, a sensation of wet warmth creating a shive down his spine. Like Gabe wasn't playing fair. He responded by shoving their lips together harder, well aware they would probably bruise in the process. He then dragged hand back to tangle their fingers together, the mistletoe still wrapped around both of them.

It was him who pulled away first, eyeing Gabe with a sort of lusty look as if devouring the other with his eyes. He licked his lips.] You never make anything easy. [Then he was leaning in to seal their mouths together again, a touch gentler this time but maybe not for long. Letting emotion show through where words could be messy.]

[Knees soon planted against the dirt like a brace as Gabriel all but forced Jack down on his back, a hand planted firmly against his chest, but he didn't allow that kiss to break. Still pressed up against him, as if using his body to help pin him down. Just needing to get closer somehow, made it that much easier to rock his hips with a bit of a bounce to the movement.

Let sharp teeth nip and press against teeth, even bump against Jack's as the kiss bounced between aggressive and needy. Panting for a moment when it finally broke, that damned tail still going at it—]

You wouldn't have me any other way. [Falling in to that kiss with a lower noise in his throat, a muffled moan as claws dug in against Jack's shoulder.]

[Jack resisted the pressure of the push, but he eventually gave way to lay on his back, though he growled and shifted his legs as if threatening to kick Gabe forward onto him. Instead, an arm curled around Gabe's back to hold the older man down, to let their chests press together.

His hips rolled and rocked in reply to the other's, and he responded in kind to that kiss as well. He was breathing harder, gripping at Gabe with his other hand, not yet thinking about the fact that their hands were free of that plant life which had caused this to start in the first place.]

No, I wouldn't. [It was something easy to admit. Gabe was maddening but perfect as he was.]

[Hands rested on either side of Jack's head, not to keep him in place, but to curl fingers n to his hair to the point claws grazed over his scalp. Fingers even brushing against and behind ears, more for the contact than trying to gain any sort of control or advantage.

Taking that kiss, however, and lapping in to his mouth again before taking the kiss somewhere between sweet and rough as teeth pressed and nipped a little. Half challenging to take it back as Gabriel just... enjoyed it all without worry. Felt wanted, corner of his mouth twitching a bit.]

You're enjoying it all.

[Of course that tail thumped away, adding something to that rolling grind of his hips.]

[With Gabe's hands on either side of his head, it was a secure there, mouths connected and working against each other. His fingers dragged down Gabe's back then gripped the back of that shirt and tugged it up to allow his hands to slip underneath. Skin-on-skin contact was good, fingers massaging and dragging into flesh.

He groaned and flicked his tongue against Gabe's, tasting the man and feeling hot as this progressed. He was clearer of mind than the pollen, which he could appreciate as they continued. His tail swished and batted against the older man's ass and tail.]

So are you.

[And if he was starting to show a physical reaction to the grinding and kissing, he wasn't going to deny it.]

[His back arched against fingers with a louder groan, tail stiffening for a moment before it went right back to that thumping and steady wag. A full body shudder produced as Gabriel couldn't help himself, sitting back up and dragging Jack in to a sitting position with him.

All the better to feel just how much Jack was enjoying this, and who was Reyes if not a man who would slowly rock his hips to bring that more attention to it. While keeping fingers curled in to hair and against ears. Catching lower lip between teeth with a little tug.]

Not just your tail happy to have me sitting here.

[Of fucking course.]

[His hands contracted as he was pulled back up from laying on the ground, using Gabe's body as a way to haul himself back up into position. He shook his head a little, letting his ears flick around and having to shift his hips so that his tail wasn't getting completely squished under their combined weight.

He groaned sharply at the increased friction, rocking his hips up against Gabe's ass in reply as his eyes closed as liquid pleasure curled in his guts. His fingers clawed up and then down again.

He couldn't help but felt himself flush at the comment, shifting almost uncomfortably.]

You're such an ass. I wished that plant wrapped around your neck. [Speaking of... where was that plant?]

No you don't, take it as a compliment if I can manage to get that reaction, and can't say you're not enjoying it. [Long, long gone. At least from being attached to either of them.

Did have his forehead rested against Jack's, ears slightly flicked back and eyes closed. Nothing wrong by the way his tail was very much still wagging a bit as he sat straddling Jack's lap. Hips shifting a bit and still pressed close against him, a slow but steady rock of his hips still going to keep up that friction and pressure without much thought.

Another nip at Jack's lower lip, some brush of his tongue over the same area-]

Can keep going.

[Did not notice any plant missing, mind entirely elsewhere.]

Sometimes I do. [But he didn't mean it. They both knew it. He was flushed bright red and damn his pale skin showing it off so easily, even in the growing dark.] You're enjoying it too, right?

[It wasn't that he was new at pleasing another man - he was gay - but it had been a good long while, and his skills were rusty. That didn't stop him from rolling his hips up against Gabe's ass, keeping that friction going as well. It felt good, warm and welcoming, better than it had any right to.

He nipped back then nuzzled Gabe's face with his nose before planting a kiss on the older man's forehead.]

Here... or in the house?

[Brushed his nose against Jack's affectionately-] I am, or else I wouldn't still be in your lap like this.

[Lightly teasing with just a little roughness to his voice, corner of his mouth twitching, hand catching under Jack's jaw just after that press of a kiss to his forehead. Gabriel catching him in a sweet sort of kiss-]

In the house, unless you want dirt rubbed in to more places.

[Then, mumbled softly against lips.]

Bed is softer, too.

You make it sound like I would let you go.

[His hands tightened on Gabe's back, even if he reasonably knew that there was no way that he could keep the older man here if Reyes wanted to be away from him. That whole 'turn to smoke' ability was hard to counter honestly.

His eyes closed at the kiss, a soft hum leaving him even if he was still rolling his hips under Gabe's weight to keep that brief friction happening. He hadn't felt this good in years.]

I seem to be the one on my back so... I can vote for the house.

[His hands dropped to Gabe's ass, pulling the older man against him and then rolling them both forward and then to his feet, leaning in to kiss Gabe's lips sweetly.]

Let's head in?

Would you?

[The fact that Gabriel was still there should have spoken volumes with how hard it could be to keep a hold of him. Literally going up in smoke if he didn't want to be somewhere, yet he remained so very solid and real right there.

Maybe it was the softest kiss of the evening, but there was still something in it that whispered promises of more. Need only be taken, or given.

Gabriel wrapped arms around Jack at being pulled closed and basically lifted, fingers curled as hands rested against the back of his head. Returning that kiss in full as ears flicked back and... of course, that tail wagging away behind him.]

Yeah, let's. Got something to take care of and we've finished up in here.

I haven't yet.

[Even when they were apart here and back on their world, he was searching for Gabriel. It was like an obsession back home, and here he had enough of the older man where he wasn't concerned where Reyes was at. The guy was practically settled into routines and had something of a 'normal' civilian life. All the same, he understood that Gabe was still here because they were mutually involved and wanting this.

He closed his eyes in that little kiss, a sigh leaving him as he stroked his hands up Gabe's back then tugged the older man's shirt into some semblance of order again. On their feet, it seemed like the power of the moment that brought them together had lessened, and he was able to step away.]

Alright, we finish up here and go inside then.

[He finally eased his grip and allowed some distance between them, having to take a moment to readjust his trousers more comfortably. Thank God it was dark, or the tenting would be rather obvious, and he cleared his throat awkwardly.]
