Chapter Text
Jamie stared blankly around his apartment’s small entryway. The light brown walls had been his new home for a while, yet they offered no refuge. If he entered the living room, he’d converted to a mobile office he knew it meant hours of work. An expedition to Kryton was canceled last minute due to some re-re-re negotiation but the ever-expanding to-do list would offer little rest. Plus, since the capital cares little about shit besides their ass they wouldn’t offer any compensation, so he needed to figure out something for his bills. And his kitchen could use some attention quick meals from the vendors left the actual food he bought in a bruised state, maybe he could salvage some of it?
Instead of doing an of that Jamie slipped back on his shoes leaving his recently discarded messenger back and walked right back out. Why not sit in the shared garden, his rent helped pay for the damn thing even if he rarely enjoyed it.
Finding a bench close to the backdoor of his building he watched the insects flying about. After a sweltering fifteen minutes Jamie leaned over his knees and just started crying. Loud sobs and stuttering inhales clearly heard by someone as he heard the gate across the garden creak open.
Looking up through bleary eyes he saw Peter, a dark-skinned alpha with short hair. They had hooked up a couple times out of convenience and while they were friendly having worked together on some runes, it only made more embarrassment curl into Jamie’s throat as the other alpha saw him break down like a child.
Peter quickly walked over sitting next to him.
“Oh Jamie, what’s wrong baby?” Peter said in his firm tone.
And this? This is what drew Jamie to him in the first place, the alpha’s quiet strength was such a relief. As he opened his mouth to respond his stuttering breaths came in quicker making it impossible frustrating him more, he simply shook his head and wrapped his arms around himself tightly.
“Its ok come here,” Peters warm arms wrapped around Jamie’s shoulders pulling him in close. Jamie focused on his breathing, trying to make it better even as a headache started to radiate from the front of his face.
“I just want to go home but I dah- don’t even know what that means,” Jamie forced out through involuntary stridors.
Peter looked down on him brows lowering “do you want me to come up to your apartment with you?”
Jamie quickly shook his head, not at all helping the mounting pressure there “No, No I am not tired and I don’t want to work or experiment or, or anything but I need to,” Jamie finished miserably looking down “so I came out here but it is hot, I feel gross and I can’t stop goddamn thinking about everything I cannot even fucking do." Then a let out a load sob “and my shift keeps touching my neck!”
Peter started herding him upwards Jamie simply let himself be lead across the garden into peters building.
“Ok here is what we are gonna do, Ill get you all cleaned up and in some nice new cloths and you’re going to let me take care of you tonight." Leaving the late afternoon sun for the best cool air magic could produce sounded better already.He stood behind the taller alpha and as he unlocked his door a thought came to him.
“Wait no you were leaving to do something I will not let- “
“I was taking a walk baby boy don’t start overthinking, now go sit on the couch ill get the bath going,” Peter interrupted walking in and pointing at the green couch. Jamie remembered it was soft as hell. That thought reminded him of all the fun they had on the couch previously. Smiling, he toed off his boots, laid down and threw an arm over his eyes, his head was pounding at this point and every brush against his skin was irritating beyond measure he felt less overwhelmed than before.
He heard peters footsteps as he came back into the room, but a light touch of his elbow makes him glance over at the crouching alpha.
“I figured your head would be hurting let me?” Jamie saw his hands held a strip of blue cloth with light blue runes stitched in.
“It worked then?” Jamie asked quietly.
“Oh yes I suppose you where away but I went to the Healer Councilwoman and yours looking at Goran’s newest pain relief ban.” Peter said looking proud, the alpha may not have the most powerful magic, but he was smart as hell. Jamie nodded his consent and heard a incantation leave peters mouth and the cloth was placed over his eyes. Instantly the pain fled, the pressure still there but less.
Jamie breathed out through his nose and went boneless as Peter laughed.
“Its good stuff isn’t it plus there’s no risk of addiction like there is with lily-leaf. Now come on the bath is ready.”
Jamie groaned playfully as he was tugged upwards and to the bathroom. He went to tug off his shirt but was stopped by peters hands holding his.
“Let me take care of you.” Oh, Jamie liked the sound of that.
He closed his eyes and felt as peters long fingers undid his carrying pouch and belt laying them atop the counter then tugging his pants and socks off steadying him with a hand over his ass. Finally, his shirt was pulled off and folded and Jamie was led to the tub.
Peter pulled up a stool as Jamie lowered himself into the warm water, blessing magic herself for soaking tubs.
Peter held up the washcloth with a raised eyebrow, like Jamie would ever say no to being pampered. He simply closed his eyes and the washcloth soon started scrubbing. Each swipe was gentle Jamie hadn’t felt so precious in a long time. It was innocent too, despite their history Peters hand seemed intent only to clean and caress gently.
“If you want me to wash your hair you’re gonna need to lean forward baby,” Peter said softly breaking the quietness.
That was enough to rouse Jamie as he slid up and slumped over, Peter reaching for the nearby shampoo.
It took no time at all for the alpha to scrub his scalp clean while his fingers held onto Jamie’s chin tilting him like a little doll. When he was all rinsed off he opened his eyes ready to get out before the water cooled too much. Peter was one step ahead and grabbing a towel for him as he stood. The other alpha gently dried off each limb before wrapping the towel around Jamie’s shoulders. “Stay here I’m going to grab you some clothes.”
Jamie saw him leave but felt very distant as he turned to study himself in the mirror. His pale skin was pink from the attention and his gingery blond hair had clearly grown without him noticing as it hung now in wet ringlets around his face. This was him, a queer alpha who could work his way into the capital with minimal help at the age of 19 but couldn’t manage to live regularly without needing saving from a fuck buddy while he cried. No bad thoughts, he took a steadying breath and just then Peter returned with a pile of neatly folded clothes. Everything was folded and had a place it was so opposite of his own commenly untidy space that he smiled.
Peter silently dressed him in what had to be the softest T-shirt and shorts Jamie had ever felt. Jamie just stood there feeling slightly awkward now that the magic bath was over. Peter must have seen some anxiety on his face as he smiled down at him. Taking his hand and walking back to the living room
“Let’s get you set up then I’m going to cook you dinner, with lots of vegetables for the growing alpha.”
The young alpha smiled as he followed “vegetables? I might have to throw a tantrum.”
Peter smiled back as he pushed Jamie down on the couch “Now, now young man if your naughty Ill have to spank you,” he leaned closer to breath in Jamie’s ear “but I think you would like that too much.”
Jamie groaned at the thought and threw himself back against the couch as Peter laughing moved to the bookcase nearby, the alpha was a terrible tease.
Peter shoved one of those adult coloring books along with a pack of colored pencils into his hands. “Here work on this while I make us some early dinner.” With that the alpha left Jamie to his own devices. Opening the coloring book while it was clearly for adults it wasn’t those high intensity repetitive glyphic, instead the pages were filled with blank landscapes and stately buildings. Surprisingly Jamie found what looked like a half-finished page showing a colored river and a still blank field showing a family on enfors grazing.
Nice to know Peter actually used the book and did not keep it around for burnt out mages.
Buaaahht
A explosion of noise from the kitchen startled Jamie, starting to rise he heard a voice call out “Don’t worry my stoves spell work just needs a touchup.”
Jamie nodded to no one as he grabbed the book from where it had fallen off his lap setting it on the small coffee table Jamie folded his legs and sat reclining on the plush carpet. Pulling out the pencils he started working on the background.
He felt his mind slipping into that quiet space as the sunset slowly filled in, time slipping by until a plate suddenly appeared in front of his face. Jamie looked up as Peter’s fingers laced into his hair, the mans was backlit hiding his face but Jamie could still see those grey eyes bearing down at him.
“What did you make it sounded dangerous in there?” Jamie asked and was slightly sad to see his question seemingly wake Peter up, the alpha sitting down next to him and putting his own plate and a simple swallow bread onto the coffee table.
“It’s a dandelion leaf and round pea stew with some rice, nothin’ too special but nutritious nun the less.” Jamie smiled and scooped up the stew with the slightly sticky bread, it was delicious! The bitter root was evened out with a sweeter sauce. Humming in appreciation he started to dig for more hearing the man chucking behind him.
“I’m glad you like it baby boy,” and with that they filled their stomachs in companionable silence.
After dinner Peter led the cleanup routine and despite knowing the other man it was refreshing to se him acting so domestic. Drying one of the plates he glanced over “you learned to cook on boats, right?” he could vaguely remember a conversation where the older man regaled him with tales abroad with his alpha parent.
“yep with my mam she fixed up docks in Nava ports,” the man responded wiping down the counter.
“Wait I thought you were from Symartos?” Jamie said looking the other man over sure he remembered that conversion from work. The alpha laughed out loud.
“Well yeah that’s why my skins brown and I’ve been across the boarder a few times to see family because they live pretty close but I grew up on Nava ships and one day my dad decided to settle here.”
Jamie leaned back against the counter “I couldn’t even imagine that my whole families lived here for so long I am used to always coming home to the city.”
“Well it was cool when i was a teenager but I’m definitely a homebody now,” Peter said striding back to the living room “now come one I wanna talk to you.”
Jamie closed his eyes before following, he hated talks.
Peter was sitting on the couch and patted the plush cushion.
Jamie sat but before he could even think of a witty opener peter held up his hand.
“Now I want you to be honest with yourself and with me ‘cause this is going to be a bit weird if I’m wrong but no matter what I need you to know I won’t Judge you and I hope you will give me the same courtesy.” Ruh roh this sounded more serious then his imagined ‘why were you having a breakdown’ conversation but still Jamie slowly nodded.
“Ok I feel like we know each other well enough and intimately enough to say this but Jamie I think you need a dom,” Peter rushed out.
“What,” Jamie said mind empty. Then his brain fired up “um Peter perhaps I am remembering it different but every time we have been together it wasn’t my ass that was getting pounded.”
Peter looked at him funny “well yeah but you clearly love being directed and no one said you have to bottom, just let someone else do the thinking, I’m not even sayin’ it has to be me or that you need to have sex while doing it.”
Jamie took a breath. Then another one.
“Look I just think you can manage your life to your little perfectionist heart but maybe having some choices be given to someone else would free up your mind a bit.” Peter sounded so sure but what would that even look like for Jamie. If It was anything like feeling how he did when Peter took charge that would leave him too open, if Peter did it though?
Jamie looked at his knees “what would you get out of it, why bother?”
Peter grabbed the back of his neck a steady pressure “I get this, a sweet little alpha bearing his neck to me, I get to spoil you like I know you deserve.”
Jamie shuttered leaning back into the taller alphas grip “that sounds nice,” he admitted freely.
“We need to discuss it more but I want to do this too,” Peter replied. “but for now let me give you something I know you like.”
Jamie felt himself be tugged closer a to Peter the hand oh his nape holding him still as Peter reached into his shorts grabbing at his half hard dick. The mans voice flowed into his ear as he slowly started stroking “look at my little baby boy sitting there so pretty in my clothes letting me hold his cock.’
Jamie whined sinking back into the same headspace as the bath. His gaze forced down as he watched, spreading his legs as his wet dickhead was forced against the soft material rubbing it maddeningly and leaving a slight stain.
“Look at that needy cock drip, I decide right now what happens to it, I could bind it right now and never let you cum again, let you be my pretty toy,” Jamie whimpered “please… oh oh,” his hips where stuttering up in Peters too loose hold. Peters baritone laugh in response was embarrassing yet caused more arousal to swarm him, his poor cock hard as nails.
Peter yanked the shorts down exposing him to the heated gray eyes, simply holding Jamie’s cock in his hand.
“You would like that huh, I’d use you to fuck me, make me cum just from you pounding my hole but I’d never let you cum the most you’d get is permission to milk my knot with that hot mouth.”
If Jamie could remember how to speak he would beg, the man’s hand wouldn’t move, no matter how Jamie twitched, trapped between the two hands he couldn’t get any friction where he needed it most. Then Peter suddenly stopped touching him! Jamie cried wordlessly in distress for only a moment before those hands were back.
“Calm down little alpha, I’m gonna make it all better,” Jamie was stood and could only imagine how he looks. Shorts around his knees, tears leaking from his eyes as his cock stood erect, head twitching against the other alphas shirt. Peter’s hands ran over his slightly exposed thighs “look at my big boy,” he whispered sounding irreverent.
Peter pulled his own pants down slightly hand plying over his own length, then leaned back legs spread wide.
“Sit back right here baby, against my chest,” Jamie did as commanded and felt Peter’s hands on his knees pulling them upwards. “Put your legs over my knees,” the hot breath against his neck spurred him on as he threw his legs over, his waist was lifted forcing his cock upwards and Peter’s arms circles his midsection.
“Now I am gonna hold my hand real tight and you’re going to show me how you’ll fuck my hole.” As promised the mans dark hands closed over his red cock, Jamie threw his head back on the man’s shoulder bucking slightly.
“Can I?” Jamie’s cracked voice broke out. Peter hummed “can you what baby?” The alpha started nibbling on Jamie’s neck licking a pathway between his shoulder and ear.
“uh uh oh fuck,” Jamie cried starting to thrust into those lovely tight hands. Just as he got a rhythm Peter opened his fingers leaving his hard cock rocking against the cool air.
“Ask properly baby, what can you,” Peter asked again soothing up and down Jamie’s thighs.
“Do I get to cum alpha?” Jamie bit out shaking.
“Oh my perfect boy yes, yes you have permission from me to cum whenever,” Peter replied “tonight at least.” The alpha’s hands trailed slowly back up to Jamie’s cock tangling briefly in the copper pubic hair before once again clenching both hands around his cock.
Jamie started thrusting desperately, too worked up as Peter’s hands wrung him thoroughly and while his tongue continued torturing that sensitive bundle of nerves in his neck. Each rock of his hips dragging his cock an agonizing circle of too much and not enough and he was close and Alpha was there and and
All at once it was like every nerve in his body tensed peters hands suddenly moved, one holding on to Jamie’s knot and the other moving to quickly strip his wet cock as cum shot out. Jamie couldn’t even cry out only able to feel.
Finally, it was over Peter peppering kisses against his jawline as one hand stroked his sides, the other loosening on the still heated knot skin. He felt his legs being guided together but was too high, floating on his happy chemicals, to car as Alpha arranged him side saddle on his lap.
Out of the corner of his eye Jamie saw the other alpha furiously stroking his own dick. Jamie, even with still feeling loose needed to touch that. He reached down fondling the heavy balls as Peter burst.
They both sat panting and a little sweaty, Peter leaned over kissing him deeply.
“Do you feel good baby?” he asked, Jamie could only nod. Peter grinned “ok let’s get you to bed.”
Being corralled into bed was easier said then done yet despite the early hour he was tired and loose and he felt his eyelids slide closed as the other man left to deal with the mess and lock up.
This could definitely work out.
