All In

[pinkroses]

It wasn't until the words were repeated back to him that Ichabod heard how sexual they sounded and his cheeks coloured slightly from blood he'd drunk earlier in the night. He hadn't intended it to, but now that Win had picked up on it, it was so obvious and Ichabod found himself not wanting to take it back.

"Yeah, I do," he said, his dark eyes flickered down to Win's lips for the briefest of moments. "If you prefer it slow though, that works well for me too."

[Trillian]

He hadn't read it wrong! The quick glance Cub gave his lips wasn't missed when they were so close. He'd been flirting all this time. Cub was subtle, that was for sure. Win figured that big, bold moves would lose him, but suggestive and small, purposeful moves would win him over.

He wanted Cub to respond positively to him. He was a nice guy; offering Win a lift, not pranking him with his clothes, coming into the lake and then being open for something more. People that came to lonely spots like this were lonely people, he thought. They could help each other out.

Win nodded and closed the rest of the distance. He let his feet hit the bottom so he wasn't treading water. Knees slightly bent so that he could keep his shoulders just above the surface, Win moved closer to where Cub was and reached out, his hand following the difference in water patterns until he found Cub's hip and he settled a palm upon it. Win took a small breath before leaning in most of the way towards a kiss, angling his head and letting his eyes mostly fall closed. He hovered there a moment, seeing if he was going to be pushed away, and pressed on when nothing happened.

The touch of lips was gentle - he brushed his against Cub's, feeling the moisture caught between their mouths. He applied a touch more pressure, as if Cub might spook, his eyelids fluttering closed as his other hand lifted to press a palm against the side of Cub's face.

[pinkroses]

If he'd still been alive his heart would have been pounding. As Win moved closer Ichabod could sense his age more clearly and it was intimidating, but also pretty fucking sexy, knowing he was more powerful, stronger, probably more mentally capable. Not as old as Kerr, but Kerr was different. He was blood.

He didn't feel unsafe though, Win hadn't done anything to make him worry. He just usually wasn't a leap in kind of guy. Well... maybe that wasn't quite true. He had with Kerr, he had with Lazarus.

Ichabod glanced down as Win touched his hip, sending a shiver of excitement right through him, but he quickly raised his face when Win leant in; he didn't close the distance between them, but made no attempt to pull back when that gap was shut. Ichabod lifted both of his hands to rest against Win's chest, tilting his head marginally towards Win's hand on his cheek.

Ichabod's lips parted as he deepened the kiss and one of his hands slid upwards, then round the back of Win's neck, using that grasp and the buoyancy of the water to lift himself up out of the water a bit more, pressing his body against Win's, his excitement growing.

[Trillian]

Cub was an excellent kisser. Win followed his cues and slid his hand into Cub's short hair when he moved, standing upright moreso when Cub shifted. Their bodies were pressed firmly together now, for Win's other hand beneath the water had shifted to Cub's lower back, pulling him close. In spite of the water's temperature, Win could feel himself thickening with the attention, blood pumping between his legs as tongues battled.

Cub was an unknown quantity and there were no promises between them. Beyond a lift into the city they could part ways and never see one another again other than to rely on serendipity. Even as Win kissed him, holding him close and threading his fingers through the more lengthy part of his hair, he didn't want them to part ways without contact. That would make him sad. He'd had enough of sad.

His hand, pressed firm on Cub's lower back, moved down as the kiss deepened yet again, their heads angling further to allow each other more sensation. He gripped Cub's butt cheek, squeezing, focussing on the taste and feel of him. Win's dick was squashed between them pleasantly, making itself known.

[pinkroses]

Ichabod wasn't thinking about what would happen after this, or after he'd dropped Win off somewhere, right now all he was thinking about was feeling Win pressed up against him, tasting him hungrily.

He gave a small gasp as Win squeezed his ass, instinctively pressing his body closer to the other vampire's. Win's arousal was obvious between them and Ichabod lifted his legs from the ground, wrapping them around Win's hips so that he could grind against him more effectively than when they were floating around and opening himself up if Win chose to explore further. Their difference in heights wasn't great, but Win's overall presence made Ichabod want to submit to him.

Ichabod had hardened up himself and he wished he could wrap his hand around Win's shaft, but there wasn't enough space between then so for now he satisfied himself with grinding against Win.

Ichabod broke the kiss with a small nip to Win's lower lip. "You taste amazing," he murmured, tightening his grip on the back of Win's neck.

[Trillian]

Win liked that they were roughly the same height. He was certainly strong enough to carry Ichabod without the water's help but he liked the sensation of weightlessness he was getting from it. Cub, once committed to the kiss, had proved that he wasn’t subtle with such things once he was in the midst of it. That was good, because Win liked clear messages.

Cub's hands on his chest elicited a soft moan into the kiss and Win's hands roamed, though the shift in position had him holding onto Cub around his shoulders instead of in his hair.

After the compliment about how he tasted, Win decided to take a dare. “Mn, I want to try something different,”

Neither of them needed to breathe and he’d never done sexy things underwater before so Win allowed himself to sink beneath the surface, taking Cub with him. It wasn’t quite like zero gravity because they were both sinking so there was some pull to the lake floor, but there was certainly a dreamlike quality to their movements. Win landed in a sitting position, Cub's legs still around his waist but now he would be able to get some leverage and shift around if he wanted.

It was dark and quiet beneath the surface; Win focused on the sensation of kissing and touching. Small ripples passed them as fish skittered by. Win could taste the lake and it was fresh and unpolluted. He preferred Cub so he captured the young vampire's mouth again, hoping he would be into this new experience.

If they neede to talk they could do it mentally. Win sought an opinion.

D'you like this?

[pinkroses]

Ichabod tensed up as Win sank them under the water. He didn't need to breathe but as soon as he was underwater he found himself wanting to. And it was so dark, he could hardly see anything further than a couple of metres, which brought on a wave of claustrophobia.

Ichabod's grip on Win's neck tighened, his nails digging in slightly. He was more aware of his lungs than he had been for almost a decade, so Ichabod focused on exhaling, raising his gaze to watch the bubbles. They didn't have far to go to break the surface and seeing that reminded Ichabod that he wasn't trapped, the surface was just there. And he didn't need to breathe anyway. He was fine.

Win found his mouth again and Ichabod let the kiss continue, focusing on the enjoyment of that feeling, trying to ignore the water above them. Ichabod rarely used mental blocks - they were tiring to keep up, so he wouldn't use it automatically. That meant that Win's message came through loud and clear.

I like it if it means I get to do this more, Ichabod responded. He let his legs come away from being around Win's waist into a kneeling position, straddling the older vampire. This gave him a bit more space and Ichabod slipped his hand between them, his fingers circling Win's firm shaft, stroking him gently. It did feel weird, being underwater like this, like if he let go of Win he'd just bob away with the fish, but now he had other things to focus on it wasn't as scary.

[Trillian]

Win released the last of his air in a soundless, bubbly groan when Cub wrapped fingers around his shaft. The sensation was amazing; starkly different to being in air. As Cub's hand moved, he pushed small currents against Win's thighs, enhancing it. At the same time, it felt weird not to feel the full weight of Cub on his lap. He yearned for that solid feel of another body with him.

His hands roamed before he, too, took hold of Cub's shaft and pumped it in opposing direction to the other. When Cub stroked upward, Win went downward, keeping the same rhythm. After some of this he had a different idea and removed his hands in order to hold Cub's hand and take it off himself.

Something new I think you'll like, he sent, so Cub wouldn't think he would be left alone in this peculiar sensory deprivation (and enhancement) experience. Win floated away just far enough to stretch out sideways and returned to Cub, his hands first feeling around and gripping Cub's shaft again before he swam forward and wrapped his mouth around it.

He didn't bother trying to keep himself sideways or forward or anything, he let his body float wherever it may and it floated diagonally upward, not that he could properly tell the direction - but he figured he was slightly upside down by the way his arms wrapped around Cub's torso to stop them from drifting apart. Win was dedicated to making this an incredible and memorable experience for centuries to come; his mouth engulfed Cub, his tongue flicking and sliding around, taking him all the way into his throat, where he was sure his mouth was warmer than the lake that surrounded them.

[pinkroses]

Ichabod was still very aware of their surroundings, but he was distracted from those panicky thoughts by Win's hands on him, sending delightful tingles though his body. He'd been so focused on getting everything at thhe Academy sorted, then meeting Sam had spurred something inside him, now he was thoroughly enjoying himself and feeling free for the first time in so long. Apart from the lack of air.

That enjoyment disappeared when Win released him, but at least the older vampire gave him warning beforehand. He watched in confusion, concerned as Win floated almost out of eyesight, but he quickly returned and oh God, that mouth. Ichabod curled his fingers through Win's hair, grasping to feel where he was. Ichabod tilted his head back, and suddnly realised he couldn't see where the surface was. They weren't that deep, it had to be just there, he just... couldn't see it. His free hand drifted backwards to try to feel for the ground behind him. And it wasn't there.

Win was definitely very skilled, his tongue was hitting all the right places. It was just hard to focus. As Win's tongue slid over him Ichabod to in a sharp breath at the feeling, forgotten for a moment that they were underwater. His eyes widened as the water hit the back of his throat and his hand on Win's head pushed him backwards, urging him off him.

Luckily, although he hadn't been able to see the surface, he knew where it was and Ichabod was at the surface in a few strokes, coughing and spluttering. His legs had flailed about a bit, but he wasn't sure if he'd hit Win - he hoped not. Fuck, what was wrong with him? He was here, trying to feel free and enjoy himself and he couldn't even manage that.

Ichabod managed to get his feet on the ground properly and he stood up, bending over slightly to cough up the last bit of water, pressing a hand against his chest as he scanned the water for Win resurfacing.

[Trillian]

Win, catching a knee to his right cheek, was a little slower surfacing. He wiped a hand over his face, pressing fingers a little more firmly against his cheek to make sure his bone hadn't been fractured, listening to Ichabod finish his coughing fit. It was obvious what had happened and Win felt bad for his short-sightedness. He would draw breath and sigh and moan if he was getting a blow. Of course.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry, I'm an idiot," Win said, vaguely amused but mostly guilty over Cub's discomfort. He closed in on the younger vampire and wrapped an arm around his shoulders, watching him for the final stages of spluttering. Cub seemed to be over the worst of it. "Let's go to the shallows and lie down for a bit," he suggested, hoping that Cub wouldn't end their lake adventure too early. Win wanted to make it up to him.

[pinkroses]

Ichabod managed to clear his throat before too long, although it did leave him with watering eyes. He leant into Win as the arm went around his shoulders, then he gave a laugh at the suggestion that they go shallower, which led to a couple more coughs which cleared up quickly.

"Fuck, I'm such a loser, so goddamn smooth," Ichabod said with a sarcastic roll of his eyes. He was embarrassed, but if it had been someone he knew that he was with, then he would have been feeling it so much worse. He didn't expect he'd see Win for any longer than tonight, so did it matter too much what Win thought of him?

"The whole not needing to breath underwater thing, I've not done that before, I can't believe that, I haven't been swimming for so long," Ichabod said as they made their way shallower, finding himself chatting to distract himself from what had just happened.

"Oh, did I hit you?" he asked as he glanced towards Win now they were moving, seeing his reddened cheek. God, he couldn't even manage to get sucked off properly without mucking up.

[Trillian]

Win laughed at Cub's self-depracating statement but his laughter wasn't cruel. He and Cub were both about as smooth as each other, he thought. He eventually dropped his arm from Cub's shoulders to take his hand beneath the water, and had a reply for him.

"You're too gorgeous to be a loser," he said, moving slowly through the lake until they were about waist-height where their progress became a little quicker. "Loser status does not affect beautiful people by default. Otherwise I'd be in trouble," he said, then laughed loudly at his own ego boost. "See? Laughing at my own jokes now," he pointed out.

He nodded at Cub's statement about the underwater thing. Not being used to it would've made it doubly hard to receive his treat. With his free hand Win touched his cheek, no longer hurting quite so much. He shrugged, not wanting to make his new friend feel worse than he did already.

"I'll be back to normal by the time we're in the shallows," he said, but they already were in shin-deep water. Win sat, pulling Cub down by the hand, so they could sit together. He was hoping they could start kissing again - he would certainly try for it as soon as Cub was settled beside him.

[pinkroses]

Ichabod had been ready to dismiss Win's comment about him being gorgeous, when Win continued, making Ichabod laugh again at his own self-appreciation.

"So wonderfully modest," he chuckled. Win definitely was charming, in a different way to Sam. The boastfulness reminded him for half a second of Lazarus, but the ancient actually meant it when he boasted, Win was kidding and it was endearing.

"Good," Ichabod murmured, relieved that Win would be healed by the time they were shallows. It made him wonder how old Win was. He could remember being punched in the nose a few years ago, that had taken a few hours to stop throbbing.

Ichabod had been teetering on the edge of feeling awkward about his nakedness when Win urged him back down into the water, sitting in the shallows. The stoney shore wasn't the most comfortable, but in the water it gradually shifted into sandy gravel which was fine to sit on. Their hips nudged together slightly as they sat and Ichabod twisted slightly to look at Win, opening his mouth to speak when Win leant in again. Ichabod met his lips, more tentatively at first given how their previous dalliance had just ended, but soon relaxing into it. Ichabod lifted his hand to caress Win's cheek when it had been red but had now faded.

Looked like he hadn't completely fucked everything up then...

[Trillian]

Win's eyes fluttered closed as he kissed Cub again, pleased that his advance wasn't rejected. He wondered if Cub liked kissing a whole lot or if he would get bored with it. Of course there was always touching to add to the mix.

It didn't take long for Win's hand to wander, first stroking Cub's chest before delving beneath the water and stroking some more life into the erection vaguely growing there. Because of how he'd reached over, he mimicked Cub's position from beneath the water, rising up slightly so he could climb over him, straddling Cub's legs. The kiss broke for a moment while that happened and Win took a moment to look at Cub with a sideways grin, studying Cub's face while he pumped his hand; it turned him on to see it.

"Do you want me to... try again?" he asked softly, offering his mouth verbally instead of just going for it like he had when underwater. His cheek still hurt a bit but it wouldn't interfere with the task he was suggesting.

[pinkroses]

Ichabod gave a happy sounding murmur as Win's hand wandered downwards, quickly stirring his erection back to life. His hands drifted over Win whilst the older vampire rearranged himself - Ichabod was more than happy to let Win do exactly what he wanted, as long as it was fun. If Win had just wanted to kiss, Ichabod would have enjoyed that (with maybe a little exploration with their hands). If Win wanted them to finish each other with their hands, that would have been fun too. So there was no way he was going to turn down Win's offer.

"Yes, please" Ichabod whispered, unable to get a louder sound to come out and instantly hating the polite, almost pleading tone to his own voice. That didn't seem to Win off too much though.

Ichabod leant back, resting his weight on one hand and letting his other roam over Win's shoulder, then up into his hair, gripping lightly, but not aiming to steer. Win definitely knew what he was doing, so he needed no guidance.

He felt a lot more relaxed this time around and could enjoy it properly, gasping and mumbling words of encouragement and praise. If Win carried on in this manner it wasn't going to take Ichabod long to finish.
