Just The Right Fit - ((Fain & Amer))

[praiseofblood]

Amer blinked, surprised when the male came out of nowhere. "Uh, yeah." he said, blinking at him and shaking his hair from his eyes; damn it was humid down here.

[ode]

Fain grasped his mate's hand - gulping when he felt the most amazing sensatiion creeping through his palm and up his arm - and led him to his ship where it was docked four rows over. Entering the ship, he was pkleased that his AI had kept the air circulating now just the same as he did in space as Fain could not bear the heat.

Leading the male to the kictchen, he set the groceries down. "Do I need to do anything?"

[praiseofblood]

Amer blinked, "Uh, you can help me chop the vegetables." he offered, going to rinse them.

[ode]

Fain ran a hand through his hair and sighed, but did as asked. "I'm sorry I am not very good at this sort of thing," he said awkwardly, knowing his mate expected butterflies and kisses and the only thing he could offer him was.... well, he could handle the kisses part.

[praiseofblood]

Amer blinked. "You kiddin? Compared to some of the losers I've been with, you're a doll," he smirked, slicing a bit of meat. "How do you want your steak?" he asked.

[ode]

"Medium rare," he mumbled offhandedly, then, "You've... been with others?" He knew rationally that he should have expected such a thing, it just embarrassed him as a male that he had not.

[praiseofblood]

"Yeah, a couple," Amer shrugged, looking over at the male. "I'm sure you've got a few scores of boys back on Zerca for me to fight off." he said.

[ode]

"No," he admitted, nose curling when he realized the lie he had planned on telling was pushed down by the oh so truthful word. "There is no one. I-I waited for a mate in my youth and just never had the inclination until I saw you."

[praiseofblood]

Amer's eyes widened a bit, before he just smiled a bit. The male really was way too cute for his own good. He looked at Fain, smiling a bit, "Then we'll just have to get you caught up, huh?" he asked.

[ode]

Fain blushed to his roots and damn near cut his finger as he worked on chopping the vegetables. Hoping his mate hadn't seen his blunder, he moved his hand away a safer distance and tried again. "Do you, uh, see yourself living here or Zerca?"

[praiseofblood]

Amer slid his eyes over to Fain, "Dunno. Hadn't really thought about it yet," he said, smirking. "You tryin' to get me all to yourself so soon?" he asked, teasing again.

[ode]

"Well, I," he grumbled out, pausing to clear his throat. This really wouldn't do, his blushing every time the kid made a comment. "That is, I would not mind, We are mate's and-and well, I suppose it's natural." Damn, had he but his foot in that or what?

[praiseofblood]

Amer giggled. "You're cute when you stutter." he said, shaking his head as he began to cook the steak, going back to sauté the vegetables.

[ode]

Fain frowned at the male's back. he hated that the man put him so much on edge. He felt confused as to what to do or what to say. He'd never so much as been with a concubine! What did he know of male relations in a sensual manner... or, he admitted, conversational manner.

[praiseofblood]

Amer hummed a bit more as he cooked. He always did like cooking, but he never cooked for other men. He wasn't sure why he liked the male as much as he did, or why he was so O.K. with all of the 'mate' chaos. But, he didn't mind it too much, partly because Fain was so damn cute.
