He's got eight legs, don't underestimate what half of those can do in a pinch.
[ In the wake of their emotional admissions Loki is pleased to find no awkwardness awaits them once they return to the world of the living, finally propping up on a bent arm to drop a chaste kiss on Chris. ]
[ Chris is so unflappable, so calm in a crisis through long exposure, even if he was feeling off-balance he'd probably do his best to hide it for Loki's sake. Thankfully, he feels pretty good about the exchanged I love yous, especially when he gets given a sweet kiss. ]
Alone? [ He pouts, though he's not that upset. He can take the time to make sure the stables haven't been destroyed or make them lunch or something. ] I suppose. If you must.
You just ruined my ass, at least let me pretty it up a little before you go back for seconds.
[ With a light swat at Chris's chest, Loki extricates himself from the couch and stretches beside it with a very casual, possibly-and-probably poised cocked hip. Come trails slowly down his inner thighs and he turns away from Chris to thoughtfully regard the way out the room.
He asks over a shoulder, all faux-innocence, ] Upstairs, yes?
[ Loki's not fooling anybody with the way he's standing, stretching up with his hip cocked in such a way as to perfectly display those long pale thighs and the mess slowly dripping down them.
Chris swings his legs over the edge of the couch and stands, taking a moment to hoist his jeans back up even if he doesn't fasten them right away. ]
I wouldn't say ruined. [ Because he's being all but dared to, Chris reaches out and swipes his fingertips up the inside of one thigh, catching that trail of come and scooping it back up between Loki's cheeks so he can press one fingertip gently past that still-swollen ring of muscle as he ducks his head and presses his lips behind Loki's ear. ] Keep that where it belongs, hm?
[ Curling his finger teasingly to tug at the rim, he nods towards the stairs. ] First door on the left.
[ Chris just helping himself to fingering Loki's hole has him buckling forward on weak knees, hands on a sweat-cooled chest as Loki uses him to stay upright. He can't stop his thighs from parting as a helpless looks takes over from the smug playfulness and he arches instinctively to let Chris push past the slick rim, if he wants to. The fact Loki's dick gives a valiant twitch of interest is Chris's penalty for teasing. ]
[ Chris reaches automatically to support Loki when his knees buckle, the hand not currently tucked around his ass lifting to help him steady himself even as Loki sets both his hands on Chris's chest.
While the idea of fingering him until he's a trembling mess in his arms definitely holds some appeal, all Chris does is scoop up another dribble of semen and push it back inside Loki's body with gentle pressure before doling out something between a pat and a light smack to the crease where his thigh meets his ass. ]
Go on, sweet thing. Go freshen up. I'll go make sure the kids are behaving.
[ The shock of being treated so familiarly shouldn't have such a strong effect on him, it shouldn't be so unexpected after fucking each other like crazy on a couch, but it's so caring too that Loki is staring at Chris from under his lashes even as a cracked whimper lodges in his throat to feel come being pushed back inside. He's still sore, hands turning to fists, and bows in close as he regains the feeling in his legs out of necessity when dismissed. Walking, right. He can walk all the way to the bathroom with his ass throbbing anew from the fingers he knows can fit inside him whenever they want.
Loki swallows and croaks out, ]
Sure. I'll be quick.
[ No one manhandles him like Chris and his easy confidence, there's always a thrill of newness to their ... relationship. Blushing furiously as that thought melts into ones about Chris stuffing him full of his long fingers whenever he wants, Loki straightens up with the off-centre smack to his ass, flinching only a little. Bathroom, he needs to have a bath. Walk.
Sliding free of Chris's arms, he does just that (a little faster than intended). ]
[ The way Loki reacts to his touch makes Chris want to bundle him up in a blanket and keep him safe, or maybe to drop to his knees and bend him over the couch or the kitchen table so he can do more than just tease with his fingers, but he really does want to go check on the horses, and also the chili should probably come out of the warming oven by now so it doesn't slowly dehydrate itself into a crisp.
It's something to consider for later, exploring just why Loki looks so shocked to have Chris touch him casually after everything they've done together.
Stealing one last quick kiss before Loki wanders off, Chris watches him go with a considering tilt to his head before turning and walking away himself, heading to the kitchen, first. Washing his cock and balls in the kitchen sink is not something he ever thought he'd be doing, but here he is, and it makes doing up his jeans again much more comfortable. A quick handwashing later, and he's feeling much more human, able to grab that earlier-discarded kitchen towel so he can reach into the slow oven and pull out the chili to set on top of the stove, safely pushed to the back just to be careful. The smell of spiced beans and meat mingles with the bread already ready to be cut into and it makes his stomach growl, making him chuckle even though he's the only one who's heard.
Raking his fingers through his hair, he leaves the kitchen and walks out onto the large deck on the back of the house, leaving the glass doors open in his wake, and puts his fingers to his mouth. A piercing whistle follows, one that has the dappled gray gelding cavorting out in the field immediately turn his head, though he seems reluctant to leave his new friend. Chris whistles again, longer this time, and eventually the horse comes trotting up towards him, slowly like a scolded puppy at a dog park. ]
Did you leave your sister trapped in her stall while you decided to go gallivanting around with Sleipnir? [ he asks, stroking his hands up and down the muzzle of the horse that immediately tries to nuzzle at his pockets for treats. ]
[ Loki jerks off once more in the bath, he can't help it and it settles some of his frayed nerves. Thankfully he's all done washing up by then and rinses the whole tub before wondering what to wear on his sore ass, mooching into what he believes to be Chris's bedroom (the only lived-in one) to peek inside his wardrobe and drawers. Over some soft green leggings that he magics up, Loki pulls on a plaid shirt that smells like Chris even though it's clean, rolling up the slightly too-big sleeves with satisfaction and letting the rest hang to partially hide his ass.
Hearing a whistle, then another, he peers out the window to see the regular horse trotting over and Sleipnir's annoyed approach, Loki taking that as his cue to head back downstairs. Damp hair curls into the warm nape of Chris's shirt, tousled by a hand raking through as he heads over to the kitchen. It smells incredible in there and is far more interesting to investigate than whatever Chris is up to on the deck with the kids, as he called them (cute).
Sleipnir whinnies, cantering over to a halt beside the much smaller gelding. He spots the nosing for treats and his large head bows as he goes for Chris's other pocket, snuffling. ]
[ Sleipnir only seems mildly annoyed when he comes trotting over, his eight hooves making quite a racket even on the soft prairie grass, but it seems he's just as easily distracted as Tango is, because it's not long before two heads are butting at his middle, one about the size of his entire torso and more than strong enough to send him stumbling with a loud laugh. ]
Boys! [ Supremely confident of his welcome, or maybe just not thinking too hard, he pats over both horse's skulls, scratching under their forelocks and nudging them away from his jeans. ] I don't have anything with me, stop that.
[ Sleipnir gives Chris a doubtful look, glancing over to the open sliding doors where the scent of chili is wafting out. He lifts his head to look over Chris and snorts, sniffing suspiciously. ]
[ Somehow, despite his enormous size and very intelligent mien, Chris still manages to forget how intelligent Sleipnir is. Although, in his defense, he doesn't know him that well just yet. Still, he clucks his tongue and rubs his hand down the stallion's nose, frowning at him. ]
No. That's for your mother. [ Father? No, mother. ] Lord knows what all those spices will do to your digestive system.
[ He thinks he can hear movement in the kitchen, but right now, his attention is fully taken up with the horses he's trying to corral. Whatever Loki is doing can wait. Actually... ]
Sweetheart? [ he calls over his shoulder, still trying to keep either horse from clopping up the steps and trying to muscle past him into the house. ] Can you get me something for the horses from the fridge? Carrots, apples, whatever.
[ Loki stops taste-testing the chili and wipes off his mouth with the back of his hand, answering quickly. ]
Sure! One moment.
[ Carrots and apples are grabbed, two of the former and three of the latter so that when he appears he does so to an enthused whinny from Sleipnir. Chris is passed the majority of the spoils as Loki holds a carrot to the bay gelding. ]
[ Tango, normally suspicious of others but easily bribed with contraband, happily munches on the carrot offered to him by Loki as Chris feeds his new friend instead, trying his luck by continuing to pet down that huge black muzzle. ]
They've been very unfair and left poor Mary Lou behind bars. We're going to have to rectify that soon.
[ Holding his hand flat so Sleipnir can munch the apple out of his palm, Chris glances over to Loki and takes in his outfit, his expression going warm and approving. Slipping his arm around Loki's waist, he tugs him close and noses a kiss in above his collar. ]
[ Sidling closer, he laughs and turns his head for a fond kiss. It helps Chris likes seeing him in his shirt, he was nervous for a moment there about the liberties he took upstairs. ]
Figures, I look good with any part of you on me. [ He nods to the extra food, Sleipnir able to eat a whole apple at once. ] He's hungry, don't wait until he's nibbling on your fingers. We should cook him a chicken or something for dinner later.
[ Well aware that horses are apt to eat baby bunnies whole if they find their burrows or munch on bird eggs of any kind, the revelation that Sleipnir apparently can eat an entire chicken doesn't come as much of a surprise.
He'd been considering saving the last apple for Mary Lou, but upon watching Sleipnir inhale the entire fruit in one bite, he fishes the second out of his pocket and offers it up to be consumed much like the first. ]
I can manage a chicken. [ Would be prefer it plain, or with all the fixings? Horses eat sage, but would Sleipnir want a proper roast or just cooked meat? There's so many things he has yet to learn about the new direction his life has taken. ]
Why don't you get lunch ready for us, I'll take the boys down to the paddock so Mary Lou can come out to play, too.
[ Loki plants his hands on Chris's chest, beaming at him as he leans in to bump noses. ]
I'll do that. Don't ride off before lunch, there will be plenty of time for Sleipnir to knock you on your ass after I've kissed all the chili of your lips.
[ Hopefully the horses don't mind having to watch this display, since now that his hands are free, Chris happily wraps his arms around Loki's waist to pull him in closer. ]
Sounds like fun. I'll be back in a few minutes.
[ With one last squeeze, and a kiss dropped to Loki's forehead, Chris peels himself away and goes to shoo the horses down the slope, taking a second to stuff his feet in the boots sitting by the back door so he's not walking through the stables barefoot. It takes a little work to convince Tango to come along without a bridle on him, but his horse is well trained, and eventually follows direction. Blessedly, Sleipnir decides to cooperate too, either because Tango is doing it and he doesn't want to be alone or because he actually understands the steady stream of words Chris lets fall from his lips. It's not long before they're back to the barn, where Mary Lou is making her displeasure at being left behind known with a constant barrage of snorting and whinnying.
Chris puts the boys in the paddock and then brings Mary Lou out too, sneaking her a few treats while he's at it to make up for her solitary confinement. While he's not stupid enough to think that the fence will stop Sleipnir from jumping it if he so chooses, at least he knows it'll keep the two regular horses penned, and after taking the time to hoist a fresh barrel of hay over the fence so they have something to nibble on and making sure their water trough is full, he dusts off his hands and heads back up to the house.
[ For the time period that Chris is out being a stepfather to Sleipnir, Loki finds a blanket to curl up in on the (freshly cleaned!) couch, magicing away his old clothes where they landed on the floor in moments of passion. He brings his knees up and floats a few books over from the shelves, picking one to read while dipping home-baked bread into his chili (alas, he was not strong enough to wait).
When he hears Chris approaching he tilts his head toward the door, feeling like Chris is the missing piece of making this house a home. ]
[ Toeing off his boots at the door again, Chris pads into the house and shuts the glass door behind him, not wanting to let anything that isn't supposed to be there come into the house — mostly flies, but he can't rule out a curious horse or two these days — before looking around to see where Loki's gone. He spots a mop of dark hair over the back of the couch and makes a beeline for it, leaning his arms on the back of the couch and bending down to rest his chin on the top of Loki's head. ]
Couldn't wait, hm? [ Not that Chris can blame him. Not to toot his own horn, or anything, but if there's one thing Chris knows he can knock out of the park every time, it's chili. There's a reason he made some on the day he knew Loki was coming to visit. ] How's the bread?
[ He wanders off to fix himself his own lunch, slicing off a thick piece of bread and indulging in some butter on top to accompany his chili before returning to the living room so he can sit beside Loki and peer at the book in his hands as he eats. ]
You made food that smells too delicious to resist, not my fault. The bread is majestic, for the record.
[ Toasty as he is, he lifts the blanket to welcome Chris into his space and rearranges how he's sitting, knees resting against Chris's leg. The book is laid between them as they eat. ]
This is some sort of a cadet manual, I think? The dangers of a starship are very serious, that's the vibe I'm getting.
[ Chris could put on his discarded shirt. Or he could just not do that, and let Loki drape the blanket he'd rustled up from somewhere over him as well, the book soon following, so they're both sat together on the cushions and looking down at a textbook Chris has barely touched since his Academy days. ]
[ He gestures to where a younger Chris had written in the margins of all the quiz sections, circling the correct answer and doodling next to the ones he didn't know or didn't like or didn't agree with.
He laughs, lifting a hand to thumb at the pout of Loki's lower lip. ]
Oh, is that how you got your commission? Better not tell the brass, I don't think that's a fully-sanctioned path to Starfleet.
