(Aaravos' POV)
⚠️Mature content warning ⚠️
I think this will be the last chapter like that for a while but not totally certain. They're kinda calling the shots now.😅

Our bodies were fit together like puzzle pieces still and every small movement from one was felt by the other. I secretly dreaded our inevitable parting, knowing that doing so would be such torture. I kissed behind his ear, causing him to moan as I moved. I grinned widely.
"Oh shut up," he mumbled into my shoulder, where he nuzzled his head into.
"I hadn't said anything." I laughed.
"You know what I meant."
"Indeed. Perhaps I should... tease you further."
"Aaravos—" He began but finished with a loud moan as I pressed into him. I could feel his body shuddering beneath me. He tugged at his bathrobe desperately and I stifled a laugh. I ran my hand down the front of it slowly, teleporting it onto a coat rack across the room.
"Viren, have you ever engaged in such an activity with a man?" I whispered in his ear.
I felt his cheeks flush before meeting his eyes which he averted. "I apologize, the intention was not to embarrass you but to ensure your... comfort." I paused before adjusting on his lap, wrapping my legs tightly around his body. "Very well." I ran my hands down my thighs, touching my underwear with my fingertips. He held my hands, meeting my eyes again.
"Could I?" He asked, I raised an eyebrow.
"Certainly, if you like." I raised my arms above my head, raising to stretch my legs in a kneel. He moved his hands to the waistband of my underwear. He pulled the sticky fabric down my thighs, causing a moan and a grin from me. We met each other's eyes before he continued to pull them off and drop them in a heap on the floor. I closed my eyes slowly before taking a deep breath. "Now, Viren. If you are prepared, it's time to go through the preliminary steps reserved for this specific pairing of two males."

(Claudia's POV)
"Come on, Soren, hurry up!" I stage-whispered to my brother who was ruffling his hair awkwardly across the room.
"I dunno, Dad seemed like he wanted to be left alone."
"Yeah, because he's got a girlfriend!"
"A girlfriend? What about Mom?"
"You know they were never getting back together, Soren. We all knew that."
He crossed his arms and pouted like a small child. "Nuh-uh."
"They're happier apart. All they used to do was fight."
"But I thought... Dad would at least try..."
"You've seen how he is: the same as always. Work,work, work. He hasn't mentioned trying to patch things up with Mom once since they split."
"But whenever I asked him he said he was..."
I came over to Soren, hugging him tightly. I felt his strong shoulders shaking as he cried.
"I'm so sorry, Sor." We sat in silence for a while. "I wish they could get long but.... Sometimes I guess that just doesn't happen."
"Why?"
"I don't know..." I looked down with a frown. "Come on, snoop with me! It'll be fun!"
Soren shook his head. "No thanks. I think I'd be sick.." He started walking away.
I shrugged "Suit yourself." I approached the door quietly, pressing my ear against the door. I heard hushed voices talking back and forth. Then there was a low moan followed by a lower chuckle. I decided to amplify the volume with magic, hoping my father wouldn't notice.
"Is this the right way?" My father asked his partner.
"Y-Yes, that's good." A low voice answered before moaning again . My eyes widened in surprise. I had no idea my father was interested in men. Who was he? I didn't recognise his voice. Was he from the council or the army?
I snuck away, following after my brother. "Hey, hey! Soren!" I grabbed his arm.
"What?" He glared at me.
"I'm sorry, I know you're hurt. But isn't it better that they're happy apart than being unhappy together?"
"What about us, huh?!" He boomed. "They couldn't even try to be civil for us? They can't try to patch their differences? No, of course not! I'm sick of being ignored and manipulated! We've done so much for Dad! It's about time he did something for us!"
"I understand how you feel... you know I'm here for you..."
He sighed loudly before smiling and sitting down. "Thanks, Clauds."
"Of course." I sat down, picking a flower and sticking it behind his ear. He smiled and I looked down. "I know it sucks but we can't force them to get along again."
He crossed his arms, pouting. "I know, but I wish we could."
I laughed. "Yeah... But wouldn't it be nice to have a second parent around again? Someone that, hopefully, wouldn't be so..." I paused and together we said: "Dad."
He shrugged. "I guess but it wouldn't be the same. I still miss Mom."
"Of course it wouldn't, things will never be the same." I frowned. "But it might still be fun! I miss Mom too but we'll visit her on her birthday like every year!"
He smiled. "Maybe you're right. Did you see her? Is she someone we know already?"
"Who?" I blinked.
"Dad's girlfriend?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Ohhhhh, right!"
"How could you forget? We were literally just talking about it."
"So I listened into the door..."
"And?"
"And... his new partner is... very different from Mom."
"Duh. Why are you making that weird face?"
I noticed that my face was all scrunched up and smiled. "This person... is a man."
Soren just stared at me with wide eyes and a dropped jaw.
