Onyx hadn’t planned for any of this to happen, which was a common and recurring theme for him, especially when he showed up at Andres’ place unannounced. Which was, you know, every time.

He delays having this conversation by trekking back to the kitchen to refill his water. The doorbell rings and Onyx accepts the delivery of many ramens, bringing all the takeout bags and water cup to Andres room. “Spicy or normal?” he asks, arranging the different to-go containers of broth, noodles, veg, boiled egg, pork butt, green onions, and other trimmings.

Peeling the top off a veritable bucket of broth, his eye flashes up.

“Do you want me to stay?”

[attr="class","thadmain"]They were two ends of a compass: one pointing perpetually north, to quiet solitude and cold silence, and the other spinning in the whims of earth’s magnetic flux, desperately trying to hang on to warmth and light and humanity.

“I don’t like crowds,”
Onyx confesses, because he can sort of see where Andres’ thinking is going and he wants to shove this needle of positivity into the haystack, a catheter into the vein, IV injection of I’m not a monster I just don’t like bright colors and loud noises. “I never have.”

It’s unsettling. Onyx has never cared what other people think of him but he suddenly cares what Andres thinks. It’s an incredible amount of power to give to someone, power over him and how he feels. Certainly a weakness. But maybe not one he’s willing to divest himself from yet.

A softness comes over Andres' face and Onyx resists the urge to reach out and cup his cheek, pull him close; he wants to feel that softness against his palms, something so naturally empowered with levity in his world, surrounded by stone and heaviness. He stabs a cheese cube, instead, and pops it into his mouth.

He finds himself smiling around the soft flavor.

“Do you remember that stupid unit we had to do in gym class on geocaching? We had to hike through the fucking wilderness to prove we could follow a compass.” He rolled his eye, snickering. “One kid ended up walking through a whole fuckton of poison ivy.” Then he blinks.

“Wait, that wasn’t you, was it?”

[attr="class","thadmain"]They continue this dance, this constant circling of each other.

Andres had laid heart-to-heart with him in sheets stained permanently from their transgressions and said I love you and Onyx still didn’t believe he knew what he was doing.

His face flushes with heat and he looks down and away like a teenage boy.

Andres leans closer to him. And still, Onyx thinks, there’s no way.

There’s no way he knows.

There’s no way he actually wants me
.

He flounders, a bit, flailing and backed into a proverbial corner.

You think I let just anyone break into my house?

Onyx thinks of lacy underwear wedged between couch cushions.

“You really want me to answer that?” But he leans into it, smiles with a bit of wickedness, and elbows on the table as they invade each other’s breathing space, again. Almost nose to nose. Onyx can count the freckles on his cheeks.

“And the meteor?” he asks, and he can’t fucking believe he’s asking it, he can’t fucking believe these words are coming out of his goddamn mouth, he wants to shrivel up and die, he wants to explode, he wants to surge forward over the table and pin Andres against the fucking wall--

“Was that fun or an accident?”

It's jarring, it hurts a bit, it is anything but careful, it is fucking exquisite.

Onyx continues to murmur words of encouragement and claims to Andres' beauty, his perfection, a thousand embarrassing things as the heat builds and his head falls back.

Then Andres is pressing into him, lips to lips, and Onyx can do little but moan, his arms coming up to wrap around Andres in the same breath that Andres wraps him, fielding his screams and holding, holding in a way that seemed far too intimate for what this was supposed to be (more intimate than an end of the world booty call?)

Onyx holds him through it all and the world could end right then and he would not have let go.

[attr="class","thadmain"]Everything was coming back to him in fuzzy pieces, buoyed on morphine and a haze of blood loss.

Andres is touching him. He inhales sharply, body a wash of instinct fighting with exhaustion. The latter wins out and his head sags back against Andres’ palm, dark hair greasy with unwash and blood and sweat.

Andres is touching him. A soft and gentle swipe of his thumb over Onyx’s unshattered temple. It’s… ethereal. Holy. His skull cants sideways ever so slightly, chasing the contact. If he were coherent and really inhabiting his own body he’d be awash with shame.

But he’s not really either of those things right now.

“....’m okay,” he manages, laying back in the bed, laying back against Andres’ hand. “Not thirsty. ‘M fine”

He still doesn’t really remember what happened but Andres is fine and is also touching him so that’s okay.

He scowls.

“...Ursaring,” he eventually mumbles, remembering. In his head he sees himself reaching out to touch Andres back, to soothe him, but his hand just wobbles uselessly.

“Don’t have to stay.”

The woman’s Lucario welcomed Mord in with a sort of feint, quickly capitalizing on the closeness with an aura sphere. The bright blue light made Onyx’s eye water. He felt the ghost of tears on his brutalized right cheek.

Mordekaiser took the aura sphere to the face and squawked, shaking his head and stumbling backward, thin tendrils of smoke curling off the sides of his jaws. Gods and fucking monsters, Onyx was going to have to teach him a different method of combat besides all in, all the time.

But he didn’t have the grace to worry about the fucking dragon. He had to stop this girl from pulling him apart by virtue of using his stitches like marionette strings.

He was taller than her, and that meant, while he had more reach, it took more flexion to guard his midsection. When she jabbed at his ribs he crunched, the first blow striking home-- only practice let him keep his breath as the pain shot through him, shaking his ruptured spleen, his burst kidney, even round the back of his body so they were. Her second he absorbed well and managed to shrug off, responding by aiming a cross-body swipe at the side of her neck, an attempt to stun her or grab her throat.

Mordekaiser, meanwhile, couched his skull and roared a furious dragon breath at the Lucario, purple fumes lighting the ring up vibrant lavender.

As Acrimony put it to sleep with hypnosis, her little form stippling the air, Onyx realized he didn’t have much room to talk, at the moment.

“What… the actual fuck… is this?”

“Don’t you fucking dare,” he growls, something deep and animalistic and possessive, fit to match the way his mouth drops to Andres’ chest and bites like a man starved.

He wants it all, wants everything, grabbing at his ass, his hips, not cognizant of the pain in his lower back, lost in the fuzzy feeling of skin on his tongue, the sharp taste of metal, the heat bubbling in his over-warm brain.

He wants this, he needs this, doubly so if they're going to die tomorrow, if he gets to do one last thing in his life, let it be this. Let it be the trail of dark marks across Andres' chest and up his neck, let it be the way his mouth tastes, let him die like this, burning to death in the fire trapped between their bodies.

[attr="class","thadmain"]Once the victory was announced, Amplexus dropped all pretenses of battle and knelt by Ferrum’s side, nervous hands roving over his partner’s blackened armor. A pink aura seeped from him into the Gallade, heal pulse doing its best to bring Ferrum back from the brink.

Onyx stepped off the lowered platform and strode to the center of the room to receive his reward.

“Thank you,” he said, but his voice was devoid of emotion as he pocketed the badge and turned to leave, recalling Amplexus and Ferrum as he passed.

[attr="class","thadmain"]Ziadem falls still for a moment, head turned, eye locked on this little fragment of a human being that she so clearly remembers from the many other fragments of her life. Bright like the sun, this one. She is silent as he explains, and then when he is gone, she flexes her wings, flares her tail feathers, and settles in to roost on the rooftop, as inconspicuous as a giant, sleeping raven can be in the pink swathes of morning light.

Back in Onyx land…

… he squints, and though the painkillers are doing a good job of keeping things comfortably fuzzy, it still feels… off. He has the ghost of vision in his right eye-- or, at least, so his heavily drugged brain makes him think-- but everything is shadowy and gray.

He registers Andres and the thought brings him some warmth, determinate from the syrup that oozes through his veins.

Everything from the last few hours is a blur. Something horrible happened but he can’t quite remember what. He is suddenly spiked with a sensation of fear when his brain does the math that terrible experiences + Andres being present may or may not = something terrible happening to Andres.

His voice is hoarse and tight when he asks, “Are you okay?” and he struggles to lift his head off the pillow but his body is leaden.

[attr="class","thadmain"]Andres plays into it like a good sport-- like a lamb to slaughter, Onyx wills himself to think, desperately trying to cling to some inkling of coolness despite feeling like it has all drained away from him.

He is rushing down a steep slope on a broken snowboard, strapped in with no escape. Soon he’ll be buying flowers and wearing suspenders and clocking into an office 9-5. What the actual fuck was his life.

It’s so comical, the way they both orbit each other, both of them so scared that what they’re feeling is fleeting and bound to end, though neither of them knows it. Onyx, so terrified of change, and Andres, so desperate for it.

“Sometimes. It’s quieter out here than the city,” he says, by means of answer. Fallarbor being one of the smaller locales in Hoenn, it has more of a village-y feel to it than Lilycove, Slateport, Rustboro, or Mauville.

In an equally quiet voice, sneaking through the defenses he’s rapidly trying to keep up, he adds, “I like the quiet. It’s nice.”

He stares into the dark, eye wide, as though he can’t believe he’s said that.

“What about you?”
he throws out, scrambling to assemble some semblance of balance as the world continues to be topsy fucking turvy.
