Written in the Stars


It still felt incredible to Adam that he was here, on this starship, in a navigator's uniform. He tried not to gape openly as he made his way through the ship, following the map on his communicator to find the quarters that he'd been assigned.

He'd been born in the colonies, and had known want all his life. Testing into the navigator program--on a full scholarship--was a dream come true. Years of hard work and training and it still seemed surreal. But he was here. He'd made it. He was a navigator.

The door to his quarters opened with a touch, already coded to his fingerprint. The room was simple and utilitarian, but it had a private bathroom and there was plenty of space. In terms of what Adam was accustomed to in the colonies, this was luxurious.

Dropping his bag on the lower bunk, Adam sank down to sit on the edge of the bed, leaning back and closing his eyes for a moment. He drifted off almost immediately, chronically sleep-deprived by the level of training and study he required of himself in order to stay at the top of his class.

"Not unless you've got some snacks here." With Adam this close, he didn't want him going anywhere. At any other time, he might find this behavior suffocating but nearly bleeding to death had a way of making a man needy, even if that man was Ronan Lynch. He wanted Adam to stay with him.

Ronan curled closer to Adam to make his stance on him leaving clear.

No longer weak, the press of Ronan's lips was firmer. He felt warmer too. Though still far from healthy, when he kissed Adam he forgot that was the case. At first. When he shifted closer, he felt a flare of pain in his chest. Abandoning that, he settled for wrapping an arm around Adam to bring him closer. That hurt too, and Ronan almost hissed when he moved too quickly.

"Fuck," he muttered.

Objectively, he hadn't wanted to kiss Adam for a long time, but he'd done so desperately enough that it felt like a lifetime. If he wanted to be romantic, perhaps it was a lifetime after all-- waiting for this one person to enter his life. He wasn't going to let a little pain get in between them now.

Ronan opened his mouth to protest once Adam pulled away, but then he had him pinned. Ronan stared up at Adam, only closing his eyes when Adam leaned in to kiss him but then stopped short. Unable to move, he tried to shift under him. That didn't bring their lips closer but his hips did grind against Adam's ass. His face flushed. He felt dizzy and breathless.

"Tease," he whispered. "Kiss me."

Ronan craved sensation. Some days, it was all he lived for. Thoughts and feelings hurt and focusing on his racing heart and the pain of his split knuckles drowned them out. The point of indulging or destroying your body, he'd thought, was to shut down your emotions save for rage. He hadn't often thought what it'd be like to kiss someone, not before Adam, and his dreams were too bizarre to provide much guidance. But he hadn't expected it to be like this.

Adam's mouth was hot and the press of his body against Ronan's burned and that-- that Ronan had imagined. And yet as pleasure spread through him and he arced his body up for more, his sense of anger and hurt and the never ending well of depression faded. He didn't remember what happiness felt like really, but it was something close to this. This-- love or maybe it wasn't that but need, affection, and desperation tangling into one.

Ronan kissed back, hard and hungry. Pinned as he was, there was still enough room for him to grip Adam's hips. He didn't notice the pain for a while. It was in the background, too small to notice, then not bad enough to slow him down. It wasn't until he winced that he realized this was actually a problem.

His hands twitched and he pulled away. "Adam--" he hissed.

"No, I'm fine-- just hurts like a bitch. It's fine." The contradiction there didn't seem to occur to him, but that was either from the pain itself or the medication kicking in.

However badly he'd wanted to peel Adam's clothes off before, pain was a very effective libido killer. Instead of pressing up against him, Ronan let his body go slack and relaxed into the mattress as much as he could.

"Can we do this later?" he asked.

"I said I'm fine," Ronan protested. That was the only resistance he put up. He watched Adam inspect his injuries, frowning at him.

As much as he'd wanted Adam to take off his shirt and touch him, the reality did not match up to his expectations. He didn't have a good view of himself, but he imagined he looked terrible with God knew how many stitches.

"You done now?" he asked. "I'm not going to bleed out because we were--" Oh. Uhm, this was somehow weirder to say out loud than he thought it would be. "Making out."

Ronan started to get up but the pain reminded him that lying down was his only real option. He stared at Adam, his own brow furrowed slightly.

What had he said? Should he not have mentioned what they were doing? God, what were they doing?

"You can't stay?" As hard as he tried not to sound vulnerable, he heard it in his voice. He shouldn't hate himself too much for it. It was understandable, he guessed, given he'd nearly died.

Ronan wasn't entirely sure he'd be up for kissing whenever that was, but if Adam was hungry then he shouldn't get in the way of that. He liked him as he was, but he probably had several years worth of nutrition to catch up on.

"No promises," Ronan said though he was fairly certain he'd fall asleep five minutes after Adam left.

Ronan barely stirred when Adam kissed him. He sighed and, feeling Adam next to him, didn't bother opening his eyes.

"Get food?" he asked, struggling to regain coherency.

Even taking his exhaustion into account, it was hard to think. Everything was so hazy and unfocused. He felt so raw and needy and-- emotional. For once those emotions weren't anger.

"I'm not a baby," Ronan muttered. He appreciated how protective Adam was. Hell, just knowing Adam liked him was great. But there were limits.

He very slowly tried to ease himself up into a sitting position. He couldn't put much weight on his arms at all so the process was slow and painful.

This part he hated.

"So don't talk to me like one." He was able to sit so long as he leaned against the wall. He held out his hand to take the bowl.

"Never though I'd be happy to see this shit," he grumbled. Then when his hand brushed against Adam's, he spoke again in a far different tone. "You've got nice hands."
somnioergosum: (And lying she knew was a sin)

[personal profile] somnioergosum 2018-10-17 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Later," Ronan said without thinking. He realized what he said a moment later. His face flushed and he quickly raised his bowl so it hide his blush.

It would have been one thing if it was just trash talk. He'd often heard that retort during fights among the fighters or, hell, people back home. It was different when he actually meant it as something that would happen. It made him feel faint-- or giddy? He didn't know. This was all new to him. God, it was exciting.
