Chapter Text
Everyone knew that Christmas was John's favorite holiday. The mixed emotions of he's strong bond with his father and spreading laughter. Making people happy and laughing, maybe slightly annoyed was an Egbert specialty. But Dirk was able to see past that thin veil. Like him John was just as lonely and untrusting as he was. John used jokes and pranks to hide the fact that out of everyone, he has the worst PTSD directly caused by the events of the game. Yeah sure everyone had a ruff time but they had someone to rely on. Rose to Kanaya, Dave to Karkat, Jane to Jake, Roxy to Calliope. Dirk had long ago accepted he is unstable, long before the game.
But John, he had a normal life before this. John could have lived on his earth in his timeline and been happy and successful. Dirk had gleaned all this from the conversations he and John had had when he was taking care of him. When John decided to hide himself away, when it all just became too much for John when no one noticed, but Dirk did.
At some point things became physical, maybe it was the rush of dopamine sex gives them or maybe it was the need of physical afffection both of them missed to much or a mix of both. It started to happen more and more, till Dirk regarded John as a partner of sorts. When Dirk told him this John felt the same way. They had decided at this Christmas they would tell everyone this.
Dirk walked into the party wearing a "tacky" sweater kanaya had made, sending everyone different ones to wear just for the event. Of course, Egbert had put her up to it long ago so it was hard to not wear them. Generally everyone liked seeing John happy, particularly after people started to realize how bad he was handling everything. He was their leader in one form or another at the end, they all loved him.
Dirk glanced around mostly the humans from the game were here, besides Karkat and Kanaya here with their respective partners. ( the other trolls didn’t see the point) Dirk nodded his head in Dave's direction. He nodded back in mutual Strider coolness. Roxy was the first to talk to Dirk "Dirk! I'm so glad you tore yourself away from your important robots for a night with us!"
She said slightly mocking him, little did she know most of the time that was code for being with John. She moved in hugging him. Dirk didn’t particularly like hugs but Roxy got a pass. Even more so because he didn’t know how she would react to his and John’s news tonight. As she pulled away he said " yeah sure. Hey where's the host? I want to talk to him."
Roxy smiled and laughed a little "In the kitchen silly, you know how those Egbert-Crockers are. With every event there must be more than enough to eat."
Dirk slightly smiled " thanks" he said walking away.
Roxy laughed as he made his way to the kitchen.
And true to her word there he was sweater sleeves pushed up to his elbows. Flower was in his dark hair and on his face. Dirk stood there for a while as he watched as John pulled a large pie from the oven and placed it down.
"Hey Dirk" he said, throwing a smile in Dirk's direction. "If you came to give me a hand, it's too late, everything's already done."
He moved pulling off the apron he had on and hanging it. Giving Dirk the opportunity to check out his butt. His side of the two families were blessed with more curvier figures than the strilondes. Who were all flatter than boards.
Dirk moved forward grabbing John's hips and pulling him against himself. Egbert let out a small squeak at the sudden contact. Dirk had been hanging out with John more and more recently, since he first came over when John disappeared from public view. He had helped him with things and John had also become close to the older Strider. Dirk looked John in the eyes his shades falling slightly down the bridge of his nose.
"Let me give you a present Egbert. Just between you and me." He said ghosting his lips over John's. Whose face was completely red at this point.
"Dirk- I umm all of our family is in the next room" he started to stammer. Dirk shook his head. "John, don’t worry about it. Everyone just thinks you're doing last minute cooking. And I’ll make it quick. I just want to hear you.”
John paused for a second and then cleared his throat then licked his lips.
"What do you have in mind?" He said softly not looking at dirk. Dirk moved, kissing his throat moving slowly to his ear
"Anything you want Johnny boy. Though I highly suggest you tell me to get on my knees." This made the heir stop breathing. Dirk was grinning, he moved back to kissing John's throat just right below his ear and then started to suck and bite at the skin. John's voice was shaky but more authoritative than Dirk had heard before. Sounding more like Jane then he would have thought possible. "Get on your knees Strider. And take those stupid shades off." Dirk moved following his command placing his shades on the counter beside John. John moved leaning against the counter he reached forward running a hand through Dirks hair. It was surprisingly soft. Dirk just watched him, his eyes were half libbed and his face bright red. "Go on then. You said you want it." Dirk moved sliding his hand up the sides of John's legs before moving around to grab a handful of John's butt. John breathing started to pick up and Dirks heart started to race. Dirk moved one hand to the front of John's crotch groping him through the fabric. John let out a soft sigh as he started to get harder under the prince's touch till his pants started to become unbearably tight. "Dirk." He said with a bit of whine in his voice. "Can you move on already and actually suck my dick". Dirk looked up at him smiling " don't you worry johnny boy, I'll have you screaming no homo in not time" John rolled his eyes "jesus dave told you about that shit I said when I was 13" dirk at this point already had John’s pants undone and slightly pulled down he moved kissing his boxer cover shaft. "Don't worry I knew he was pretty much the same back then too" he said looking up at John and pulling down his boxers. John's dick softly hit Dirk’s cheek which made John start to giggle. Dirk frowned at him. Before taking John into his mouth with little warning which caused John's giggle to turn into a moan his eyes fluttering. John could tell at that moment, Dirk had his tongue piercing in. A small silver ball he had on pressed up against the underside of his dick. Dirk looked up at him raising an eyebrow at him. Before starting to slowly move and picking up pace. Moving his head and hand at the same time. Till taking John into the back of his throat. Dirk gag reflex either never existed or got destroyed when his head got cut off. No one, even dirk, knew for sure but he didn't mind. Dirk liked the feeling of someone pressed up against the back of his throat. John's hand moved grabbing a fist full of hair. John for sure wasn't as loud as Jake ever was. But Jake was also the biggest bottom out of the whole human group. John was more quiet gasps of air more than anything. Only time he even let out a sound was when dirk ran his tongue over the tip of his head and then pulled john back into the back of his throat. Dirk did this as many times as he could before John started jerking his hips. "Dirk I'm close, fuck, I'm not gonna last much-h longer" as soon as he said that he pulled dirk off him by a fist full of hair. And with a few swift moves of his own hand he came on Dirks face. Dirk watched gladly accepting the whole time. John's face was priceless and all he could think about for a split second was wanting to see it again.
Then both of them heard something break. A glass dish. They looked over at the door. John's dick still out and cum on dirks face.
John gasped, it was jane.
"John, Jake and I will be leaving." She said her face pulling a nasty expression.
"But Nanna..'' John tried calling out to her but she had already left. John moved pulling his pants up.
"Here come on stand up." John said reaching a hand down to Dirk. Pulling him up and handing him a rag.
"Wipe your face off." Dirk moved kissing John instead.
"I hope you dont regret this John." Dirk said softly to John. Which caused John to blush even more and he let out a small cough.
"No Dirk it was good. It was more than good." He shook his head "but Jane is…" he said clearing his throat.
" She’s family," Dirk said finishing his sentence. John nodded as he took back the rag from Dirk and started to wipe his face as he said "Dirk we should talk later. Maybe not when all our friends are in my living room." Dirk nodded. He moved putting his shades back on. John moved softly cupping Dirks face. Rubbing his thumb on Dirks cheeks. He felt something for Dirk and he wasn't 100% sure what it was. John moved putting a small almost pure kiss on Dirks lips, a small clink on their respected glasses and shades. John moved leaving Dirk in the kitchen.
Dirk watched him go but Dirk hadn’t been talking about the quick blow job. He was more worried about John’s relationship with him in general.
