Prince and his Knight.

[longwinded]

As a young Prince, John was granted to have one Knight around him at all times. The top of the newest class, the strongest in the Kingdom. That was what John wanted, and he would have no less. That was how he met Dave, a stunning young man who....didn't say very much, but was certainly worthy of fighting by his Lord's side. The age difference wasn't too stunning. John a mere seventeen and Dave in his mid twenties, it wasn't long before they became friends. It wasn't like this was a shocker to John, he and Dave had many things in common and sometimes the line between being a Lord and a Knight and just being two regular best friends was extremely blurred.

"Dave!" John calls out to his Knight. It seems that something is deeply troubling him.

It's the start of a new chapter in young John's life. Rumors of him being married off to the Princess in the neighboring Kingdom were running high and it was something that was giving him quite a hard time. It was his loyal Knight Dave that got most of the whining about this. He was a quiet and patient fellow, one that would actually listen to him when he needed to speak.

He doesn't even wait for Dave to acknowledge that he's been called. "We are going out for a little while, could you prepare the horses?" Which usually meant a conversation in the woods was about to happen. John needed to blow off steam.

He is totally doubting you, John. You're young and your heart is probably fickle as shit. But if John was going to do this, he wasn't going to stop the other. John could make his own decisions and he could do whatever he likes. He still thinks John will see a maiden that will catch his attention, but he isn't going to voice that.

You can...stop hugging him though. Seriously.

[longwinded]

The doubts will have to wsah away with time, and they had plenty of it. John didn't have to marry at seventeen or even eighteen. His bride had to suit him after all. Even if the marriage was slightly more arranged than he believed it to be.

He kind of loosens up on the hugging and steps back, letting Dave free from the tree. Yeah, um, wow! He had never been so forceful before.

"Um..."

[rememberstime]

Dave doesn't really move, just leaning against the tree, eyebrow slightly raised. He's expecting John to say something or do something else. It seems like John has something on his mind at the very least.

[longwinded]

John had been contemplating on doing a lot more than this, and what he had done before...forcing Dave to do things. It sent some kind of thrill through his bones.

"Dave. Take off your armor." It's direct, and short. If Dave thought they were done here, he was very very wrong.

[rememberstime]

That's a...weird request. Especially in the forest no less. He would consider arguing but it was a pretty direct order and who is Dave to go against an order? So he doesn't. Instead he does as he told. Slowly undoing the pieces and placing the pieces of armor onto the ground. He stands upright again when he's down to just his clothes, bare from any pieces of any of the sturdier protection.

[longwinded]

John had never had the opportunity to feel Dave without all of that armor on his person, he's taking measured steps closer to the other again, eyes perusing Dave from head to toe. When he is at a close enough distance to pull Dave against him again he does exactly that. Sorry Dave, meet your friend the tree again. This time John having curious hands and not a curious mouth.

"Dave." John place his gaze on Dave once more. "Lean down a little."

[rememberstime]

John has never looked at him in that way before. He feels his breath get stuck in his throat as he's pushed back against the tree again. Yet, he still can't refuse John. Even if this was going faster than his mind was probably ready for. Or maybe his mind has completely blanked, and only his body is following by instinct.

He leans down a little for John. Just like he wants him too.

[longwinded]

He had seen this happen before, especially at the Inns down in the village, he supposes this equal to him taking on the role of a woman who was talented at seducing men, with miles less talent. John turns his head and administers a kiss to Dave's neck. He doesn't wait for a reaction to do it a couple more times. John was putting his foot down right here, even if this was probably progressing faster than it should.

[rememberstime]

Dave makes a noise in the back of his throat. Probably out of surprise and just...well there's a lot happening that really makes his reaction pretty valid. He's just completely taken aback at how forward John is being about this. He's more taken aback at how his blood boils because of it. He may have even flushed a bit as John kisses his neck.

[longwinded]

John smiled against the skin he was kissing, doing it a few more times before he shifted to be chest to chest with Dave. His teeth scraped the others neck by pure mistake in the shifting and he makes no note of it as he lets his hands wander lower on Dave's being. How far would too far be for Dave?

[rememberstime]

Dave lets out an airy gasp in response. There was something exhilarating about John's teeth against his throat and he can't help but squirm a bit underneath John's ministrations. He isn't sure what he should do. Is he allowed to push John away? Was he supposed to be obedient through all of this?

[longwinded]

Well that was certainly a new reaction. John's teeth are at Dave's throat again, taking the skin in his mouth and giving a few light bites to see if that was the reaction he was looking for, he hadn't been thinking of the repercussions of that however. Which would be a bruise if he bit hard enough, or just red skin.

John would rather Dave be obedient. But that goes unspoken. Dave should know.

[rememberstime]

An audible whimper actually escapes Dave mouth. And it's obvious Dave heard it himself with him being even more flustered by the situation. He kind of just braces his arms against the tree, being obedient as possible while still trying to hold some resemblance to control over himself.

He can feel it slipping though.

[longwinded]

John's hands wander to Dave's ass, taking it in his grasp with both hands and pulling him forward so that their hips meet. Perhaps this was the kind of friction both of them were looking for?

John feels like he probably let himself slip quite some time back. He had no idea what he was doing, he was just doing what felt right.

[rememberstime]

Wow. Wow, John that is totally indecent! Also wow, you are touching his butt like wow. He buries his face in the crook of John's neck. He was embarrassed with himself for being like this. For making unneeded noises. Maybe a little ashamed that he had let his feelings known to John.

[longwinded]

Wow is right, those are two hands firmly grasping the most wonderful butt in the entire Kingdom. Like who gives a guy a butt like this. John found no reason for Dave to be embarrassed, but having him right there was kind of nice. They seemed so close right now, physically of course.

"Are you quit alright, Dave?" Another squeeze to that fine butt.

[rememberstime]

Dave isn't sure whether to nod or shake his head. Honestly, he isn't sure if he's alright. He's flustered and confused and conflicted. He guesses maybe he isn't quite alright, but he doesn't give a response. Because he doesn't know which is how he feels. He's stuck in some limbo right between alright and not alright.

[longwinded]

He turns his head and places a kiss on Dave's temple, as if to try and give him the extra reassurance that this was okay. "Dave." Another kiss to his temple. "It is okay if you wish to place your arms around me. You look as if you may grip the tree with iron force!" Which wouldn't be good, not at all. John is still completely oblivious to Dave's internal struggle, unfortunately.

[rememberstime]

Dave kind of just shakes his head. No, no no. Touching you. That's totally out of the question. He already did it once. He can't do it again. John doesn't realize just how many walls he's going to have to break down for Dave to probably get comfortable about this. Just. The social barrier is pretty damn ingrained in someone like Dave who's always been at the bottom in his mind.

[longwinded]

He wishes his knight would think better of himself. Even John knew that Dave was someone in a high rank in a good Kingdom and John really didnt think of himself as much higher than Dave. But it was apparent that the other was going to have to be eased into this. This wasnt going to come overnight and John was going to have to be patient. But what if he didnt desire to be patient?

He put his hand under Dave's chin and lifts his face so that they are looking at one another eye to eye before he presses their lips together again. Unfortunately Dave will have to deal with John's impatience. He wants him now.

[rememberstime]

Well, John had all the power he wanted to get Dave to do what he wanted. He'd eventually give in to give John what he wished for even if the other didn't care to ease him into it.

Dave furrowed his brow as John leaned in to kiss him again. He knew the other wouldn't back down at this point. He could stall, but he couldn't stop John. John was like a hurricane. He couldn't be stopped and it was always chaotic to try. There was a moment of peace, but the storm would always pick up again.

[longwinded]

John was abusing the power to get what he wanted. The unsaid loyalty was strong here, and Dave hadn't moved. So John assumes that Dave has already given in and he just needed a gentle person to move him closer to fully accepting the situation.

Which John was willing to do, while ultimately making Dave somewhat uncomfortable in the end. He moved his lips against Dave's coaxing him into doing the same all the while pulling their bodies closer together. It was the instinct he he just wanted to be really close when this was happening.

It is really unfortunate in the end that John is ending up conveying his feelings in the wrong way. He knows that he has true blue feelings for Dave. He's just putting them out in a selfish and not so genuine way.

[rememberstime]

Dave does give in. He kisses back, but there's an obvious reluctance. It was awkward to just stand there and get kissed, and he was sure this was what John wanted back from him. It made his stomach twist into uncomfortable knots, but the entire situation had been like that since John started his advances.

John was young and sometimes he could be dumb. Dave is very sure that this will pass. He doesn't think John will actually pursue him at the magnitude he said he would.

[longwinded]

The kiss is nice, but of course John being John he will always want more out of a situation than is completely necessary. His hand makes its way into Dave's hair and he runs his teeth along the others lip.

The point was that no matter how hard Dave tried to convince himself that John's feelings would go away, they wouldn't. John would do everything in his power to impress Dave and woo him. Speaking of pushing too far, the hand in Dave's hair grips and handful and he uses it to pull gently in the effort still to get Dave to part his lips.

[rememberstime]

Dave feels his legs buckle a bit and he can't help but shudder when John pulls his hair. Even if it were gentle, the feeling that goes through his body is something else. He parts his lips, but only if to take a sharp intake of breath.

So much for resisting him.
