He loved sucking on Aspen, feeling every shiver and twitch on his tongue. The only thing better than that was sliding his fingers inside them and feeling the way their walls clenched and shook. After giving them a few long sucks, he did just that.
They were quite loud in their pleasure. Some of their shouts and groans matched what Noah was doing with his mouth, but some of them must have been due to whatever Charlie was doing. At one point, he opened his eyes and found Charlie had spread his hand between their tits, playing with one nipple with his thumb, and the other with his pinky. Aspen’s mouth was open on a silent cry, and Noah picked up the pace of his fingers.
Charlie made some noises, too. Noah hadn’t been able to catch them earlier when their mouths were sealed together. He grunted, low at the back of his throat, and murmured soft words of praise in response to Aspen’s cries of pleasure.
“N-Noah,” Aspen whimpered, right as their legs began to shake on Noah’s shoulders. Charlie pressed his lips to their forehead, and Aspen waited until Noah was looking at them to smile dazedly. “I love you.”
He loved them, too. With everything that he had to give, he loved Aspen, and when Charlie threaded his fingers into Noah’s hair and whispered how “fucking beautiful” they both were, Noah somehow found even more love to give to Charlie. He grabbed Charlie’s hand as he curled the fingers of his other hand inside Aspen. They let out a keen of pleasure before Charlie captured their mouth and the rest of their noises.
Noah kept fingering them through their release, waiting until they curled their body away from him to stop. He gently lowered them back onto the bed, and they gasped for breath when Charlie released them from his kiss.
“That was…so good,” Aspen panted, splaying their arms and legs out in a starfish shape. “Both of your hands–like, allfourof your hands are fucking amazing.”
Noah crawled up next to Aspen and collapsed, so he and Charlie were like mirror images, bracketing Aspen in.
“I may need to take another shower. I’m fairly sticky,” Aspen warned, and Charlie nuzzled his nose against Aspen’s cheek.
“Once I know you better, I may care a lot less about fluids and stickiness. The dogs don’t bother me at all, but for some reason, with humans, it takes me a while.”
Aspen turned and caught Charlie in a quick kiss before pushing into a more upright position. “That’s alright, handsome. I don’t mind at all. And while I don’t want to try and tell you about your friend, Noah probably isn’t going to ask, but he really appreciates cuddles after sex—if that’s something you’re up for.”
They scurried off the bed and disappeared into the bathroom before either Noah or Charlie could respond. This once again left them staring at each other, but before Charlie could get any bright ideas about manhandling him, Noah scooted across the bed until they were lying face to face.
“If you’re not up for cuddling, this is fine, too,” Noah said.
He would happily bask in the warmth Charlie’s body put off. It was almost like he was feverish, except he was always like this. One of Noah’s favorite parts of their winter dog walks was getting to hug Charlie at the beginning and end.
Charlie turned onto his back and urged Noah to scoot closer and rest his head on his chest. “Is this okay?”
Noah laid a hand on Charlie’s sternum and was cautious not to brush Charlie’s crotch as he brought a leg up to rest on Charlie’s thigh. “It’s perfect.”
“And how are you doing? After what we just did, but also in general,” Charlie asked.
“I’m good with what we just did. It was…well, hot as fuck sounds a little crass, but?—“
“But it was definitely hot as fuck.”
Noah laughed, but it trailed off as his earlier thoughts began to trickle back in. Maybe it was Charlie’s arm around his back, or his lips brushing along Noah’s hair, but he found it easier to pull the thoughts apart one at a time. He opened his mouth and found himself spilling everything that happened when he went to visit home, starting with the early delivery, through the many fights between his mom and brother, and his mom and him.
When Aspen emerged from the bathroom in the t-shirt and boxers, Noah couldn’t seem to stop the flow of words. Aspen slotted themself in behind Noah, holding him as he went deeper than he usually did on some of the shitty things his mom said, and the way his dad and brother always let her get away with it.
“You don’t have to keep going back and being treated like that,” Aspen said, but Noah just shook his head.
“It’s so infuriating and doesn’t make any sense, but I actually really liked Braxton’s fiancé, and their baby is so sweet. He hasn’t done anything wrong and I… I want to be an uncle. I didn’t realize it until I was there, but I want to have arelationship with him. Lord knows he’ll need allies growing up in this family.”
Charlie began playing with his hair, pushing his bangs back over and over until they fluffed up. “At least Aspen will be with you the next time you go home, right?”
Noah’s fingers twitched where they were still resting on Charlie’s chest. “Is that still okay with you? It doesn’t hurt your feelings or make you feel left out or anything?”
Charlie snorted, making Noah’s hand bob up and down. “Please, if you have ever liked me, even a little, do not ask me to go to this wedding with you.”
Noah flattened his palm and rubbed it soothingly over Charlie’s ribs. “Well, good news for you, I already sent in Aspen and my RSVPs this week.”
“Sort of ridiculous that his only brother had to fill out an RSVP form,” Aspen grumbled into Noah’s shoulder.
“I think Mom wanted me to fill it out.”
“One of her only two sons, then,” Aspen griped. “The whole thing’s absurd.”
