Merlin/Bruise balm

[runaway_smith]

Elyan leans against a tree and takes in the battlefield.

The sun is setting over the fallen soldiers but all Elyan can think is: thank the stars that I'm alive.

He can see his fellow knights gathered by the tents and he limps over to them, tired and aching but thrumming with the adrenaline rush of a fight well-fought.

Elyan cries out, Gwaine's cock searing him from the inside. He rests his head on his friend's shoulder, gasping against him, the warm solid weight of him pressing him into the bedroll.

"Is this what you wanted?" Gwaine asks, voice deep and breathy against Elyan's ear.

[runaway-smith.livejournal.com]

"Yes...gods, Gwaine..."

Elyan presses close, grinning against Gwaine's skin. "Now move."

[sir-gwaine.livejournal.com]

Gwaine doesn't need any further instructions, doing as he's told and then some. His thrusts are hard, fast and brutal, and if they'd been doing this on a proper bed he'd have be making it rock.

Elyan shudders from the force with which Gwaine's pounding into him, answering his need to be taken beyond himself and driven into the ground beneath the thin blankets.

"More...harder..." Elyan urges.

Giving Elyan just what he's asking for, Gwaine wraps both hands tight around the other man's hips. There'll be bruises there too, come morning, and not for the first time Gwaine wishes Elyan's skin were a lighter colour, so as to better show up his marks.

Elyan thrusts up to meet him, driving Gwaine deeper, responding to the possessive hold the man has on his hips and desperate for contact for his straining cock.

Continuing his brutal pace, Gwaine ducks his head, lips pressing to Elyan's ear again.

"Like this?" He manages to ask, voice far more breathless now.

[runaway-smith.livejournal.com]

Elyan pulls Gwaine closer, sure that if Gwaine just touched him, he would explode.

"You know I love it. You just - gods - want me to feed y-your ego."

[sir-gwaine.livejournal.com]

"There is that," Gwaine manages, hand finally snaking between them to wrap around Elyan's cock.

[runaway-smith.livejournal.com]

With Gwaine's calloused fingers on his cock, Elyan is caught between two points of pleasure-pain and, with another thrust, he's coming hard in Gwaine's hand.

Grinning a self-satisfied grin as Elyan comes, it only takes a couple of thrusts for Gwaine to be following suit.

Elyan rests back against the bedroll, his breathing ragged and his heart hammering.

"Mmm...you are very good, Sir Gwaine."

[sir-gwaine.livejournal.com]

Collapsing at Elyan's side, not bothering to pull out yet, Gwaine lets out a breathy laugh.

"Not so bad yourself."

[runaway-smith.livejournal.com]

Elyan likes the feeling of Gwaine inside him, and holds the man in a loose embrace - companionable, relaxed.

"I have no idea how I'm going to ride tomorrow."

[sir-gwaine.livejournal.com]

"You should have thought of that sooner," Gwaine quips, pulling back and away. He's not one for post-coital cuddling.

"I gave you what you asked for."

[runaway-smith.livejournal.com]

Elyan stretches, wincing as a thousand bruises and aches make themselves known.

"I needed it," he admits. "Once the battle fury's on me..." He shrugs helplessly, muscles loose and relaxed. He's ready to sleep.

[sir-gwaine.livejournal.com]

Crawling the short distance to his own bedding, Gwaine lays himself down, spent and pleasantly sleepy. He's sure he'll be the last one awake in the morning, but never mind.

"I'm rather a fan of your battle fury," he teases as he closes his eyes.

[runaway-smith.livejournal.com]

"You should see how relaxing I can be," Elyan mumbles, dozing off. "Sunday afternoon. My chambers."

And with that pleasant anticipation in his mind, Elyan drifts off to sleep.
