<< Never Enough >> mik3la & Sathenus

[Sathenus]

Whining softly as Conner's pace slowed, Noya trembled and squirmed a bit more. Knowing exactly what the other was doing and why. After earlier he was sure his boyfriend wanted to drag this out, hence why he had told Aziel and Hinata to give them an hour. Noya certainly didn't mind when the older man decided to be a tease and drag it out for awhile but it didn't mean his desperate body was as forgiving. "N-no!" He gasped with another whine. Not wanting the other to stop and deep down not wanting him to slow down.

The slower pace was still stimulating his very sensitive insides intensely but not enough to push him over the edge and make him cum either. His hard member twitched and throbbed, so close and yet being denied his release. It didn't help that each slow thrust caused him to bounce a little burying his boyfriend deep and making his eyes roll back slightly. 

Another desperate whimper parted his lips when he was told he'd have to speak clearer, his body trembling intensely from how desperate it was and the pleasure he was still being given. Just enough to keep his body needy, not enough to give him the mind shattering orgasm he was on the edge of. The way Conner licked his hips but didn't kiss him wasn't helping either. "P-please..." Noya needily whined, "J-just give it to m-me. W-want to c-cum." He managed to get out through gasps and whimpers.

Sure a moment ago he had been eager to fight it off and not have this end so quickly. Now he was desperate for his release though, being brought to the edge and kept on it was torturous. Of course, Noya loved this kind of torture and it only made his climax more intense when he was finally given release. Sometimes he thought that Conner enjoyed torturing him like this a bit too much, in the end though he didn't really care how much his boyfriend enjoyed doing this to him. He clearly enjoyed it too.

Aziel really did love when Hinata was under him making such delicious sounds and being so receptive to him. The way his body responded and how he gripped the sheets only encouraged him. "That's right love." He growled into Hinata's neck, nipping the skin roughly. He knew that he was making him feel good but he loved having those words expressed in such a manner as well.

Seeing and hearing Hinata reach his climax was enough to cause his own, moaning deeply as he filled his boyfriend with his seed. Breathing heavily Aziel stayed above the other, still buried inside him and trying to catch his breath. His heart was pounding in his chest, eyes taking in the sight of the other's gorgeous body. They were both rather sweaty now though, causing him to chuckle softly. "Looks like we'll need to shower and change before meeting up with Noya and Conner." He mused with a small smirk. There was no way that they could just get back into their old clothes and meet up with their friends without showering first. They were quite the mess after all of this.

Shifting he pulled out of Hinata, rolling to the side and lying on the bed beside him. Aziel let his eyes drift shut as his racing heart started to slow down and return to normal. "Such a perfect partner." He mused, turning his head towards Hinata, eyes reopening. Leaning over he gave him a soft kiss before getting up and moving towards the bathroom. "Come on sexy. I know you may be a bit more sore now but it's better to move while you still can than let the soreness settle in." Aziel encouraged Hinata to come join him. Any other time he'd be happy to carry Hinata to the bathroom. However, since they had to meet up with Noya and Conner he didn't want to let the soreness set in. A nice hot shower would help to keep the muscles relaxed and hold off any stiffness that may follow later as well. Though deep down Aziel just really loved showering with Hinata and watching the water run over his partner's gorgeous body.

[mik3la]

A devilish smile appeared on Conners lips when Noya gasped and whimpered his pleade. Taking advantage of the fact that the other gasped and his mouth was half open, he pressed his lips against his and dove his tongue into his mouth getting a moan from him that made his heart race. He pinned his lower body with his hand to the matress and slammed against him , thrusting in and out with force and speed. 

He could feel his whole body getting tense as well as his and all he ever wanted now was to get his release together with him. This man was perfect. His perfect match in everything. The sound Noya was letting out through their lips made him know that this was what he asked for. What he wanted and that he was close. And so was he. 

He freed the others lips, burring his face in his neck as he was drove over the edge along side Noya, who was clenching around him like wanting to take everything from him. Conner groan loudly as his breath was shaking after the intense orgasm. Better than the others. Guess being interrupted and kept horny did helped in this matter, he thought and smirked to himself before he pulled out and rested to the side, with his arm around the others chest as he was catching his breath. 

"I love you..." he whispered through breaths leaning in to kiss him softly on the lips. He felt drain of energy. He needed a few moments to regain his energy. Good thing he said to Aziel and Hinata a later time to meet up again. 

 

 

Hinata was still catching his breath when Aziel moved and got up heading to the bathroom. He smiled as he turned around to admire the view. Even though they did it just seconds ago Aziel was still full of energy. He really had to get his game up to speed if he wanted to keep up with him. And he wanted too. Damn, sex with Aziel was heaven and when there were feelings involved it was even better. He could say he got addicted to be with him so intimatlly. 

Rolling his eyes he sigh and managed to get up from bed, wiggling a little as he wacked towards Aziel but managed to keep his balance. He should get used to the soreness by now but it was still there, bugging him a little. But it was better than this morning. 

"I do think we still have time till we meet with the others" he grinned standing on his toes to press a kiss as he pushed slowly Aziel in the bathroom for another round. 

Soon after, they did the initial activity they wanted to, which was showering and checked clothes, laying in bed relaxing. Hinata was laying his head on Aziels chest, just relaxing at the beating sound of his heart. 

[Sathenus]

Oh fuck! Noya thought as Conner took advantage of his gasp to catch his lips in a kiss and shove his tongue deep into his mouth, drawing a moan from him that caused his cheeks to blush a little. He knew that was the sound that the other man had been wanting to get out of him all day. The hand on his lower body that pinned him to the mattress was the only warning he got before Conner was slamming into him again, the force and speed causing him to take in a gasping breath.

The pleasure that flooded his system was instant and so was his body's response. The sounds that were being drawn out of him were sounds he could find himself being embarrassed by later but didn't care enough in the moment. Clinging tightly to the sheets with one hand the other was digging his nails into Conner's shoulder. The fact that his body was gripping the other's hard length tighter with every thrust as he was about to climax didn't help either. Just made everything even more intense and his body tremble.

Both of them reaching their climax at the same time had him moaning sweetly. This really was everything he had wanted and more. Groaning as Conner pulled out and rested on the bed beside him. There was the familiar soreness that settling in already but Noya enjoyed the feeling. It just made him happier when that occurred, humming happily as they curled up together after. Noya was always happy to cuddle after, nuzzling his boyfriend's chest and humming softly.

"I love you too." He replied with a smile. Happily returning the kiss wrapping his arms around the older man too. Humming happily and staying close to Conner he let his eyes drift shut. As much as he loved the sex he definitely loved cuddling with him too. The first time Conner had asked to cuddle instead of sex he had definitely been surprised but not upset. How could he not be eager? Such a handsome guy wanting to cuddle was an invitation he could never reject. "You're comfy." Noya purred with a smile.

The smirk that crossed his face when Hinata said that before pushing him slowly into the bathroom for another round made it clear he loved this side of his boyfriend. After that round and actually managing to shower he didn't mind resting in the bed with Hinata. An arm around the smaller man who had his head on his chest and relaxing together. Knowing that they still had some time before they'd have to meet up with Conner and Noya.

This was nice though. Only something he really did with Hinata but it was still nice, running a hand down the other's back gently. He tilted his head enough to kiss the top of the other's head, a small smile crossing his face. "This is going to be a fun cruise." He mused. Not like he had ever been on a boring cruise. 

[mik3la]

Conner sigh as he nuzzled the others neck, closing his eyes as he took a deep breath, inhaling his perfume and relax. He could lay there all day long and do it all over again. But they had friends with them and decided to meet up after some time. He groaned at the thought of getting up. A smiled appeared on his face when the other said he was comfy. He placed a kiss on his should before opening his eyes and lifting his chin to have a better look at his lover. "You are comfy as well love .... I'm getting used to this" he said pulling the other closer to his chest, tightening his embrace and sigh. 

"But as much as i want to cuddle further and just stay here and maybe go another round, we did planned to meet with the others in a few minutes. So we need to shower and get dressed " he grumbled the last part as a notice that he didn't want but had too. 

Without further adue he lifted up and kissed the other quickly then got up from the bed stretching his arms and back muscles. He felt a little sting on his shoulder and saw small scratches frowning and then looked at Noya who was checking him out. "Starting to leave marks on me already love?" he asked amused but not upset. The scratches weren't deep so they would heal eventually but he found it funny to tease the other. 

"Are you joining me for the shower?" he added as he reached the bathroom door, checking his lover in the bed. If it was up to him he would cancel the plans with the others and just jump back in bed and fuck a few more rounds. But wasn't the case. The others where their friends and this cruise was a gift to his friend for his birthday and he couldn't cancel it. 

 

 

As they were laying in bed Hinata looked at the clock on the wall which was showing that it was slowly getting to their meeting point. "Shouldn't we get out and wait for the others?" he asked lifting his head to look at Aziel. They did said more than 1 hour so it was already pass it. They should get going at the meeting point and not make them wait. "Or will they come to us? What was decided ?" he asked as he was trying to remember if the others said to meet up on the deck or waiting for them to get them. 

[Sathenus]

A bright smile crossed Noya's face when Conner's grip tightened and he was pulled closer against his chest. Nuzzling his boyfriend happily, clinging to him as well. "Good because I could get used to this too." He admitted with a smile. There was a deep and unhappy whine in response to being told that they needed to shower and get dressed to meet up with Hinata and Aziel. "Don't want to!" He whined more, clinging tighter to the other.

It was with a pout that he let him slip away, returning the quick kiss. Noya purred as he watched him stretch his arms and back, loving seeing those muscles flex and move. A small smirk appearing when he asked about him leaving marks on him already. "You always leave marks on me. I think it's only fair I get to claim you back." Noya happily replied. More than a little happy about it, the scratches weren't deep and would be fully healed rather quickly.

His eyes were still raking over the other's body as Conner made his way towards the bathroom, watching as he turned towards him to ask if he was going to join him in the shower. "When don't I shower with you lately?" He replied with a laugh. Getting out of bed and moving towards Conner, more than happy to shower with him. There was never a day that he wasn't going to shower with his boyfriend when it was an option.

"Hmm... let's go to the deck. I'll text Conner and let him know where to find us." Aziel replied reaching over for his phone. He texted Conner that they'd be on deck before he was shifting to slip out of the bed, leaning over for another kiss before slipping shoes on. "Alright, let's head up before either of us gets a different idea." He mused winking at the other man.

[mik3la]

Conner smirked at his remark about them showering together. It was a fact that they had been showering together every time the occasion was given. Which was most of the time. He fallowed the other in the shower and tried to keep it just a shower and nothing more as they were needed to be somewhere else in short time. 

After they got out and were getting dressed he saw his phone blinking and checked it only to see a message from Aziel which made him smile. Yes, it was saying where they would find them as they weren't waiting for them anymore. Guess they had pass the meeting time. 

"Aziel and Hinata are on the deck. We'll meet them there" he said lifting his pants and closing the buttons then getting his shirt on. 

 

Hinata smiled at the other and fallowed him taking his hand as they walked out of their room and on the deck. He took a deep breath of the breeze and looked amazed at the see around them. The place was luxurious and he was all a smile as he looked around and checked everything there. They were not the only ones on this cruise as multiple people had taken this journey. He didn't mind. It was nice to see other people enjoying such a splendid trip. 

"this really is amazing" he said turning to Aziel holding his hand as they walked to the front of the ship. 

[Sathenus]

Just showering and not doing anything else was more difficult than Noya had thought it would be, especially considering how often they showered together. For one reason or another being a cruise just made him all the more eager for them to have sex. It seemed as though they both had to try a bit harder to behave themselves. After getting out of the shower and drying off he was admiring the other's body while Conner was getting dressed. Nodding as he was told that Aziel and Hinata were waiting for them on deck. "Did we really take that long?" He mused finally getting dressed himself. He took Conner's hand once they were both dressed and followed him on deck to find the others.

 

"It really is nice." Aziel mused, loving the smell of the sea air. While he knew this cruise wasn't going to be like the others, especially since he and Conner were both in a relationship he knew that it was still going to be a lot of fun. "The ship is beautiful and so is the ocean." He agreed nodding turning his gaze towards his boyfriend. "Just wait until you see the places the cruise will stop in. They're always stunning."

[mik3la]

"Apparently we did" he laughed as he guided the other on the deck in search of the others. It didn't took them long as they found them on the front of the deck where the pool was but admiring the sea view near the edge. 

"Sorry for being late ... " he said scratching his neck as they reached the others. "Have lost track of time" he added smiling guilty.

Hinata smiled as his boyfriend when he heard Conners voice from behind fallowed by Noya right beside him. 

"No worries ... We got a chance to enjoy the breeze while waiting" he responded intertwining his fingers with Aziels. His stomach growled which made him blush but laugh a little. 

"Seems that someone is getting hungry and i don't blame you. The sea ... does have that effect sometimes" said Conner looking at his friend with a knowing smirk. He was sure they didn't rest just like the didn't. But that was their business. 

"Let's head to the restaurant. The chef is amazing and the food taste better than anything i've ate in other places" he said pointing with his head to fallow him back inside the ship, walking through a different door which was on the same level so they could admire the view while enjoying the food. 

[Sathenus]

"I'm not!" Noya tossed in after Conner had apologized for them being late. There was no way he was sorry that they were late, not with the fun they had and the cuddles after. Aziel was giving them both a knowing look, and he knew that his boyfriend's best friend was more than a little aware that it would take them awhile. So he didn't mind not being sorry that it had taken them longer than planned.

"Told you guys it'd be more of two hours." Aziel teased Conner. "We did." He agreed with a nod at the mention of them having enjoyed the breeze while they were waiting, It was refreshing and he did like looking out over the ocean, seeing it spread out around them for miles on end. It was beautiful and incredibly peaceful. Hearing Hinata's stomach growl he chuckled himself, meeting Conner's gaze and flashing a smile. Knowing his friend knew that they had not just been relaxing in their room while they were waiting for them. "Sounds like a plan." Aziel replied following Conner as he lead the way back into the ship and towards the restaurant for some food.

Noya happily followed his boyfriend as well, he could definitely go for some food himself. Not to mention they could catch up a bit over the meal, it wasn't like it had been that long since they had all been together but this was the first thing they were doing as couples together. It was exciting and not just because it meant that none of them would be busy with work or other things. It was their first trip together, that alone was very exciting to Noya.

[mik3la]

As they walked in the restaurant Hinata gasped in amazement at the details the place had, wondering how long had it take to do a masterpiece like that Since he was into arts as well and wanted to become an architect <i think that was> he admired places that had been put work into creating them. His eyes were wondering all over the place with sparkles in them. 

Conner spoke to the lady at the entrance and they were guided at their table near the windows to be able to see the outside. 

After they sat they received the menu's and as he checked the list he found his favorite dish in it. "It seems that being a regular customer around here they added my favorite dish" he said smiling to the menu. Not many restaurants had it and those that had it never tasted as he remembered. 

"This is expensive" said Hinata widening his eyes at the menu's list. 

"Don't worry. This is on me. It is my gift to Aziel. I hadn't been giving him anything for his birthdays for quite some time. this is just to amend my debt to him" he smiled and laughed looking at his friend shrugging. 

The waiter came in, taking their order and brought in their drinks soon after. 

"So ... anything in particular you guys want to do after this?" he said looking at his boyfriend and Hinata and looked back at his boyfriend , eyeing him and mentally saying to him 'not that kind of things babe', hopping the other would get the hint in his eyes. He knew Noya by now and the fact that he would prefer to just stay indoors and have a lot of sex. But that wasn't why he booked them this cruise. It was to enjoy each others company. 

[Sathenus]

"How sweet." Aziel mused giving Conner a small smirk when Hinata had commented about the prices only for them to be told that it was on Conner to make up for not giving him anything for his birthdays for quite awhile now. "I'll have to remember this when your birthday comes around." He added a little teasingly. Already having an idea of what he could do for Conner, or well Conner and Noya. Thinking that it'd probably be more enjoyable for his friend if he did something for the two of them. Maybe a nice trip somewhere for the pair. He'd think about it more closer to Conner's birthday.

As they placed their orders he relaxed back against his chair and thought about the question. Sipping from his drink as he tried to think about what they should do after this. There was quite a bit they could do, the cruise offered quite a few different things.

Noya noticed the way Conner was looking at him when he asked what they wanted to do after the meal. His mouth had already opened to speak but he could tell by the look he was being given that sex was not on the table here. This caused him to give his boyfriend a small smile in response, leaning over and stealing a kiss. "Don't worry. I'll behave." He told him as Aziel chuckled at the pair.

Aziel's eyes were on his friend though, "Look at you. Already having such control over your boyfriend." He teased his friend again. Knowing from what interaction he's had with Noya and what Hinata had told him that the young man had more than likely been about to say something that Conner hadn't actually meant to put on the table. Just by giving his boyfriend a certain look though Conner had successfully managed to stop Noya from doing it. Aziel had to tease his friend about the control he had already. Finding it quite amusing that Conner not only knew Noya enough to stop him before he could do or say something but could manage it with just a look.

Noya on the other hand stuck his tongue out at Aziel in a playful manner. "He doesn't have control over me!" He childishly argued. Though he had to admit that Conner did manage to get him to behave himself more and all it took was a certain look to get him to not say or do certain things. Thinking it over now and behaving himself Noya decided to put an idea out there, "I hear there is supposed to be some sort of comedy show. We could do that?" He suggested.

[mik3la]

Hinata sipped of his drink, a little alchool drink before food wasn't going to do any harm. He didn't want to overdo it though. He was watching the show in front of him and how Aziel and Conner were teasing each other only for his friend to get in the discussion. He smiled. Who would had thought that they would have such a great luck in finding their partners and be so happy. This felt like a fairytale. It did had its ups and downs but they were now together and having fun. 

He always wanted someone good for Noya, who would cherish him and love him as the way he is and at the same time to temper him. And Conner was that guy. And not to mention his own boyfriend who was the cream of creams. What dumb luck he could have had in this life to find this guy. But he was thankful. Thankful for everything. 

"that sounds like a plan for me" he said leaving the glass on the table. "I'm in for the comedy show" he added as he straitened his back when the food came and he had to bit his lip at the beautiful display of it. The fine dinning really took your breath away. 

As everyone started eating, Conner groan in pleasure at the first bites he had of the food. He was amazed of how good it was and how much it was resembling with the taste that he remembered. 

After they ate and the waiter came to take off their plates he stopped the waiter for a sec. "Tell Chis that he made me very happy. This dish it was esquisite" he said and the waiter looked confused. 

"Chris sir?" 

"The Chef" added Conner making everyone at the table look to his way. 

"I'm sorry sir but ... we don't have any Chef with that name. Our Chef that is with us is Miss Fox" said the waiter and Conner frowned at the sound of that name. 

"T...Thanks" he said shortly turning back to the table still frowning. It couldn't be. There was no way that it would be her. Not after all this time. Not here. Not now. 

His body tensed as soon as he heard a laughter from the kitchen area. He couldn't mistake that sound. He heard it to many times before. 

Hinata looked puzzled at Conner, then at Noya and finally at Aziel and back at Conner, not understanding what was happening. 

"Is ... everything okay?" he asked looking at both of them with curiosity.  

Conner blinked a few times and looked at Hinata as he spoke. "Yeah ... no ... its fine... I just thought .... Never mind" he said smiling nervously as he took his whiskey glass and took a big sip.

[Sathenus]

Noya flashed Hinata a smile when he agreed to the comedy show. Sure it wasn't the most interesting thing to do but a few laughs would be good for everyone. That and it was something different, he had never really gone to one before and it wasn't something he'd normally recommend they do. However, Noya was trying to behave himself and he knew the cruise was a gift from Conner to Aziel so it was better if they all did stuff together. Sure they'd still find time for their own respective partners and wouldn't spend every second together but they'd probably spend most of the trip together as a group.

When the food arrived it looked and smelled really good, happily taking a bite of his food. A soft hum escaped him as he was chewing it, sipping from his drink. It was nice to talk and hang out with everyone, enjoy a nice meal that none of them had to cook.

After they had all finished eating he noticed a slight change in Conner at the mention of the name of the chef that the restaurant had. After the waiter left Noya gave his boyfriend a curious look, one that grew to concern seeing how his boyfriend had grown tense.

Aziel was giving his friend a look as well, seeing how Conner blinked a few times to Hinata's question and gave a nervous smile. He knew his friend well enough to know the odd behavior and he glanced towards the kitchen before his eyes darted back to the other man just as Conner was taking a big sip from his whiskey. "Ahh... maybe I should pay this one and you and Noya go ahead and get us seats for that show." Aziel suggested.

[mik3la]

Hinata was even more confused at their exchanged and looked at his friend who was the same and shrugged. When Aziel spoke it got him even more confused but didn't say a word. Maybe he was just imagining things. 

"Aaa... no.... Here, take my card" said Conner scouping out his card and giving it to Aziel who looked at him knowing what this was about and was trying to help him. Why on earth did it had to be her? Especially on this trip that he was with Noya and thought it would be a great time. Guess luck wasn't on his side that much. 

"Let's head and check the comedy show details" he said quickly, getting ready to leave when he heard her voice and his name spill out from her lips. He froze. 

"Well i'll be damned .... If its not Samuel Conner in flesh" said a lady that was just leaving her white cook shirt on a chair and was stepping closer to them. 

Everyone turned their gaze to the beautiful woman with a southern accent that got close to them. Hinata looked at Aziel as he tense a little as well and then back at the lady frowning in confusion. 

"Hei there Marie" said Conner not that happy to see hear nor to hear her. 

"Its been a long time honey ... What where the chances" she said flashing a smile as soon as she got closer placing a hand on his arm. 

"Not enough apparently ... And don't call me honey .... You lost that privilege a long time ago" he said piercing her with his gaze that was frowning in anger. 

"Oh , don't be such a buzz killer ... " she then turn and saw Aziel eying her. "Aziel ... see that you're still his friend .... I'm impressed" she added bitterly. "Leaving so soon?" she asked looking at the two gentleman , completely ignoring their partners. 

Hinata didn't liked the lady one bit and he squized harder Aziels hand when she looked at him. He could see a flash of desire for Aziel which made him uncomfortable but angry as well. Were they invisible? Couldn't she see that they were together with some one?  He wasn't one to swear but he couldn't deny that this woman was a bitch. 

[Sathenus]

Taking the card when it was handed to him he gave his friend a look, silently asking if he really was okay. Knowing this definitely affected how relaxing this cruise was going to be for Conner. Especially since there was always the chance of running into members of the staff when they were off of work or even during events the cruise would hold while they were onboard. Neither of those things would be good in this situation but it wasn't really like he could play referee either and run around making sure they didn't run into each other.

Never had he thought that something like this would happen, the chances of it occurring weren't very high. Of course, it was their kind of luck that it would occur despite that. It seemed that he and Conner both had a knack for distasteful people from their lives making a sudden and poorly timed reentrance. His eyes darted towards Noya, not even able to imagine what would cross the young man's mind if he was to discover the truth behind this woman and why it was bothering Conner so much.

Noya nodded still really confused but wasn't going to argue. About to get up from the table with Conner when a woman's voice spoke. He turned his head in that direction, seeing a woman standing there, his eyes taking her in. A frown crossing his face. 'How does she know Conner?' he asked himself not really liking how she seemed to act like he and Hinata weren't even there. If there was one thing Noya hated it was being ignored.

"Clearly." Aziel replied a little coldly. Knowing exactly why the wedding had been called off and he couldn't say he had a favorable opinion of her since then. Conner was like a brother, anyone mess with him like that would ensure they didn't have a good relationship with him either. "That is usually what happens when people finish eating at a restaurant isn't it?" He added at the question of them leaving so soon.

While he didn't like how she deliberately ignored Hinata and Noya, Aziel also thought it was for the best. This was one person he didn't think either of them needed to meet or have the attention of. Well, two he supposed since Marcus hadn't been good either. Then his gaze moved back to Conner and he tried once more to get him moving and to head out with Noya, "Why don't you go and check that out? I'll pay the bill and we'll catch up with you guys in a bit." He tried again.

Aziel knew that the longer Conner was around her the more of an effect she'd have on him and he didn't want to encourage that. This was for them, the four of them. Her presence on this ship was not going to ruin their trip. There was a part of him that really hoped when they made it to their first port she'd be getting off the cruise and a new chef would come on, but he doubted it. 

[mik3la]

Conner was really trying to hold his temper in those moments and wasn't sure how much longer he could do that. He thought he moved on, but apparently the hurt that he got back then still lingered around him. He despised that woman. They had been together for 7 years and were about to get married and he had to find her fucking another dude on their wedding day. How shallow of a women could she be? She didn't know that he had found out as he hide behind the crack door  and saw her. Heard her. He had loved her with his whole soul and she had betrayed him. His heart had broke in pieces in that moment. The next thing he did, he waited for her at the altar and when she was next to him he decline the marriage when the pop asked him if he wanted to take her for marriage. Everyone had been shocked and judged him for being the cruel one. But she had been that whole time. But he couldn't do it. Even if she had hurt him he couldn't destroy her. So he decided to step away and be the bad guy. He had sworn ever since , never to put heart for anyone. And he didn't. Until he meat Noya and in that little time they had, he had shown him what love actually felt, finally understanding that he never was loved with her. 

"Nonsense .... This is my treat .... Not any day you meet up with old friends and old lovers after such a long time" she said smirking turning her eyes back to Conner. He had to take a few deep breaths to calm his nerves. the audacity. 

"We...." Conner started but Hinata stepped in, feeling the tension and from her confession he had to intervene for Noya. 

"We really do appreciate it but we're good. Maybe some other time ...." he tried to sound as polite as possible but there was a little bit of sarcastic remark on the last fraze. 

It was like she just realized that there were other people with them when the boy spoke , making her to turn and look at him blinking a few times. She checked him up and down with a look that was very clearly saying 'who the hell are you' before speaking. 

"Oh my .... I'm so sorry.... Did i .... Did i interrupted your meeting?" she said acting all offensive looking at Aziel and Conner and at the boy behind him, raising an eyebrow at the sight of him. 

"No .... We were actually leaving so you didn't interrupt anything ... Maybe just blocking our way to the checkout. But that's fine. So, if you would excuse us, we need to be somewhere else in short time and you kind of wasting our time" said Hinata frowning at her as he grabbed Aziel and Conner by the hand, pushing them pass her, more like moving her out of the way. He knew Noya was right beside Conner so he didn't cared. He really didn't liked that women. Not from how she spoke nor how she acted. She was a total bitch doing it deliberately. 

The women stood there shocked by the rudeness the boy showed to her but she was still keeping her eyes on Conner. 

Conner on the other hand he was surprised at Hinatas intervention and looked puzzled at Aziel as they where rushed to the entrance to pay their table and leave. He just didn't know what Noya would say or how he would react and he was too afraid to look at his boyfriend in that moment. 

[Sathenus]

Surprise had definitely crossed Noya's face at that, his eyes darting to Conner. 'Lovers?' It made him frown, it wasn't like he expected to be told about all of the people that his boyfriend had been with before but for some reason the fact that it had been a woman made it worse. Noya didn't like competition when it came to his partners and he certainly didn't like the return of any exes either. It wasn't necessarily that he felt threatened, he could tell from Conner's reaction that they weren't really on good terms and something had happened that had clearly hurt his boyfriend. That didn't mean that he liked learning this information, especially when she was rather rudely and deliberately ignoring the fact that he and Hinata existed.

Aziel had been about to open his mouth and respond but Hinata had beat him to it, finally bringing attention to the pair that she had been ignoring up until that point. He had to pride his boyfriend on stepping in and how he was doing so. Knowing he probably would have said something far ruder if things continued on this path. Especially since it really was for the best to get Conner out of here before anything more could be said or done. What really surprised him though was how Hinata managed to not just steer him towards the exit but Conner too. Noya following behind closely, not giving Marie so much as another glance. When they reached the entrance Aziel handled the payment with the card that Conner had given him while leaving Noya and Hinata to keep Conner's attention anywhere else.

After paying and stepping out of the restaurant there was an audible sigh that left him. "Well... this is going to be a long cruise." He sighed glancing towards his friend. Knowing this was going to make a rather stressful trip for Conner instead of it being a fun cruise like had been planned. He reached out, resting a hand on Conner's arm, "Do you want to do the comedy show or do you and Noya want to head back to your room? Hinata and I can catch up with you guys later." He offered his friend. Not wanting to push Conner to do something that he may not be up for doing.

Noya on the other hand wanted information, he was eyeing his boyfriend but his gaze moved towards Aziel instead. "Who was she?" He asked. His voice was light hearted and he wasn't mad at Conner or Aziel. His irritation came from the woman herself and he needed and wanted to know who the hell she was and why she thought it was acceptable to behave that way with the pair. "Wasn't a very professional way to conduct yourself." He added after a moment glancing back towards the restaurant. Still a bit irritated about the woman. His irritation came from how uncomfortable her mere presence had made Conner and how his boyfriend had tensed just hearing her voice. He wanted to know what the hell she had done to garner that kind of relationship from a man he had seen take on more intimidating people. 

Hell, he even recalled how Conner had stood up to that scary guy who had tried to get Hinata from Aziel's past. That had been a terrifying moment but his boyfriend had handled it so well that he couldn't see anyone being able to get to him. This whole thing just served as a reminder that not everyone was bulletproof, even if they seemed unbreakable. Reaching out Noya took Conner's hand, squeezing it gently, "We can go back to the room so you can decompress if you want?" He offered as well. Not wanting to shut his boyfriend away for the duration of the cruise but feeling like he may need a moment to recover and relax after this meeting.

[mik3la]

Hinata was happy to be out of the restaurant. The air outside was welcome in his lungs as the tension back inside there had made it impossible for him to breath. But now that they were out he could see that Conner was still on his thoughts, away of the present. 

Conner blinked a few times when his friend placed his hand on his shoulder, catching his attention again. He took a deep breath as if he came back to earth and not lost in his mind anymore. 

"No ... No .... There's no need for that ... We can go and check the Comedy show program" he said quickly, looking at his squized hand, checking Noya for a second and then turn it away. He felt awful. He didn't know to say or how to say it. Yeah it was in the past but, the fact that he had been with a women maybe it was a shock for Noya and he didn't knew what to do. 

"i'm fine" he said tapping his hand on his friends hand , faking a smile. He tried to get himself back together and not let those memories and feelings from that time consume him again. All his insecurities from that time where wanting to rush back. 

Hinata didn't know what to do or say anymore to get over this whole situation. He sigh , looking around and saw the pool. 

"I say that we need a cool bath so let's try the pool" he said quickly smiling , hopping that they  will agree. 

"Yeah sure ... whatever you guys want " added Conner, faking the smile again. 

[Sathenus]

The fact that Conner seemed to be avoiding looking at him for more than a few seconds definitely wasn't sitting right with Noya. He frowned, watching his boyfriend quietly. He didn't like the effect that this seemed to have on his boyfriend but Noya wasn't particularly good at handling such situations either.

Hinata was suggesting the pool suddenly as an alternative to the comedy show and Noya couldn't bring himself to object. Especially with the way Conner was responding, the smile didn't look or feel right to him. "Yeah... let's do the pool." Noya replied turning his gaze from Conner to Hinata and Aziel. "We still need to head back to our rooms to get into our swimsuits though." He added. While his boyfriend may not want to go back to the room to recollect himself after their meal and that interaction they'd have to in order to change for the pool.

Aziel was watching Conner closely himself and he could tell that it was starting to affect his best friend. "Hinata, why don't you and Noya go on ahead?" He suggested to his boyfriend. Giving Hinata a look that was saying he needed to talk to Conner for a second and to take Noya on ahead. Waiting until the pair were ahead of them a bit and out of earshot he tightened his grip on the other's shoulder a little only to reassure Conner not to hurt him.

"Don't let her get to you like this, Conner." He told him as they started to follow the pair from a distance. "You have a truly loyal partner in Noya, a guy who absolutely adores and worships the ground you walk on. Don't let her take that from you." Aziel added softly. It was easy for him to tell that the feelings and insecurities that Conner had from the relationship with Marie were trying to resurface, he was hoping he could help ease them though.

"I've never seen you so happy as you are with Noya. She never made you that happy." He added. Wanting to get his best friend to focus on his current partner, the love that Noya offered him and how truly happy the younger man made him feel. Aziel knew the relationship with Marie had taken a toll on Conner, just like the relationship he had with Marcus had destroyed him, though it was in a different way. His had been more of physical and emotional destruction, Marie's was more emotional and mental. Still, he wanted to make sure that Conner realized the good thing he had now and didn't let that get taken from him just because she was on this cruise.

When they reached their rooms he nodded to Hinata to go ahead and go in to change, giving Noya a look to asking him to give them a little more time. Once the pair were in the rooms he looked to his best friend again. "I know this isn't an ideal situation. Having her here." Aziel started to say. "Just... don't shut yourself off. If she's bothering you this bad talk to him about it. You saw what not communicating did to Hinata and I. Don't let it hurt you and Noya." With that he reached for the door for his room, "Now go change and meet us at the pool. Swimming will help take your mind off of things." Or at least... Aziel was hoping that swimming would help take Conner's mind off of things.

[mik3la]

Conner took a deep breath and sigh at the idea of going in the room to change before the pool. That meant he was going to be alone with Noya and from how the other was he would start question him about what had happened and who she was. He never told him much about his past lovers because he didn't thought it was necesarry. Also, they started as fuck buddies and soon he managed to melt his heart with his way of being which was amazing. 

Hinata smiled gently and nodded taking Noya's hand and walking ahead of the boys. "Please calm down. I know it all looked ugly back there but talk calmly with him if you want to talk to him" he said slowly in a low voice only for them to hear. As the boys where talking aback so did they. 

 

Conner was listening his friend but his mind was cursing the women for ever appearing in his life. He cursed the day he placed eyes on her, the day he loved her and the day he screwed him. And now he hated her for showing her real face and not playing dumb like before. How dare she act still all friendly with him when she hurt him. Yeah its been only 2 years since he canceled the wedding and broke up with here but still. How dared she ignore Noya when she could see it clearly that he was with him. His mind was rumbling about all that that he didn't heard much of what Aziel was trying to tell him. He was lost in his own thoughts when they reached the hall. 

 

"I'll wait for you in the room" said Hinata shortly looking at Noya. "Talk to you soon" he smiled, really hopping that they would talk about it and they would managed it. 

Conner finally looked at Aziel listening his final sentences and all he did was giving him a half smile and nodding before he turned and entered his room, where he saw Noya sitting on the bed with his arms crossed over his chest. He sigh and walked to the closet looking for his bathing suit, waiting for the bombarding questions that he knew the other had. 

 

Hinata was nervouse when Aziel came in and stepped closer to him taking his hand. "..." he didn't know what to say , just look at him. Biting his lip he took a deep breath before he spoke. "Is it that bad?"

[Sathenus]

"That's an understatement." Noya replied when Hinata said he knew it had looked bad back there. It hadn't just looked bad, it had clearly been so too. Sighing he nodded heading into the room, sitting on the bed with his arms crossed over his chest. Staring at the floor waiting for Conner since he knew he'd been in soon too. When his boyfriend did enter the room he was given a glance but only as Conner entered. Watching his boyfriend who sighed and moved to the closet to grab his bathing suit. His boyfriend's behavior was what was troubling him more than that girl was. He couldn't understand the sudden distance, why Conner wouldn't even talk to him.

It took him a moment to calm the hurt he felt at the behavior to try to be more rational and not be his normal self and bombard Conner with a bunch of questions and demanding answers. Hinata's words were echoing in his head, he had to stay calm. While he didn't think he wasn't being calm he was just upset, confused and more than anything worried. What did this mean for them if this was how Conner was going to behave with that woman around? Instead of saying anything Noya got up and walked over to Conner, hugging his boyfriend tightly from behind, resting his head on the other's back, hands wrapped around his boyfriend's waist.

"You know if you want to talk about it... I'm here for you." Noya said softly, not letting go. A big part of him afraid that if he did Conner would just disappear. The older man was the best thing that had ever happened to him. It was hard not to ask all of the questions that were flooding his brain but he was trying his best not to. Now wasn't the time for the questions. There was a better place and time, right now he just wanted Conner to know that he was there for him. "I love you." He added finally letting go of Conner before he was moving to grab his own bathing suit. Doing his best to just show he can be supportive and understanding especially in such situations.

 

"It's definitely not good." Aziel admitted leaning down to give Hinata a quick kiss. He sighed as he settled on the edge of the bed, pulling Hinata with him. Debating how much he should tell him. Thinking about it for a moment he thought to be honest but made Hinata promise first that he wouldn't say any of this to Noya. It was up to Conner to discuss it with the other man and hearing it from anyone else would only cause a rift in their relationship. Then he spoke, "Marie and Conner used to date, which I am sure you figured out. They were together for seven years, got engaged and everything. They day of the wedding Conner caught her cheating on him, instead of just calling off the wedding or leaving her at the alter he attended it. When asked if he took her to be his wife he said no and it was only then that he left. That was two years ago." Aziel informed his boyfriend.

Getting up he moved to grab his bathing suit and started to change only to continue speaking, "He hadn't seen or talked to her since. I can't really blame him. He truly loved her, she had been really important to him. Finding out that your other half doesn't love you back is cruel, especially finding out on your wedding day. The fact that she has the audacity to behave like she's still a friend, like she didn't rip his heart out and stomp on it really pisses me off." He continued. Once changed he turned back to Hinata and gave him a small but not very happy smile. "I will say one thing though, in the seven years that I saw Conner with Marie, he never once smiled as brightly or seemed as happy as he is with Noya. You have a really special friend. While Marie didn't truly love Conner I can see that isn't the case with Noya. He basically worships the ground Conner walks on and I can see the love and devotion every time he looks at him. Even after everything in the restaurant your friend while rightfully confused and upset still had that spark of love and loyalty. He just needs to have some patience and let Conner come around. I wouldn't be surprised if Conner tried to ignore what happened today instead of talking about it."

The last thing that Aziel wanted to do was make excuses for Conner, especially since he knew that if situations were reversed Conner wouldn't make excuses for him but tell him how it was and help him focus on what was really important. That was why he made Hinata promise not to tell any of this to Noya though, because at the end of the day Noya needed to hear this from Conner. Coming from anyone else and Aziel was sure it would crush the little guy and he couldn't and wouldn't be the reason that happened. Right now their relationship was in a fragile position and they had to do what they could as friends to help strengthen it again. "Let's get those two to the pool before they can stew on this anymore. Gotta keep things as light as possible." He said once Hinata was changed. Grabbing some towels before stepping out of the room and knocking on Conner and Noya's door. "Come on you two! The pool is waiting!" He called.

[mik3la]

Conner was waiting and waiting but the questions never came. He frowned as he was looking for his clothes afraid in that moment to turn. Why the sudden silence? He glanced at Noya and noticed that he was looking at the floor biting his lip. Turning back to the closet he started worry. Was he upset? But he didn't do anything. As a matter of fact, he tried his best not to talk to the other. Would he stop loving him after this? Was this too much? All the past insecurities and wories were catching him again. The doubt that once was and managed to get away from was slowly settling back in. 

What he didn't expect was the embrace of the others. He looked at his hands wrapped around his waist as he listened the others words. Hearing him say 'i love you' did made him sigh in releafe but the fear was there already. Would he leave him? Would he stay? He didn't do anything wrong. 

"I love you too .... and there isn't much to say .... it happened long ago .... she doesn't mean anything anymore" he said turning around and hugging him tightly. 

 

Hinata fallowed the other and sat as he heard the story. He gasped in surprise at the outcome of the events. From what Aziel was saying, Conner had loved her very much. Loved her so much that he took the blame of canceling the wedding and not saying what the exact reason was. He had still protect her from the shame. He could handle it but not her. He really loved her so much, that even after years, she still had some effect left on him. Anger yes, but still an effect. 

He nodded when Aziel made him promise to keep it all a secret again. How could he say it to his friend. He didn't know how. And if he would tell him, who knew how Noya would take that information. Maybe he would make things worst. Aziel was right. It was better to let Conner tell his story and not bug in, only helping them along the way. 

After he changed he fallowed Aziel at their door. "Maybe we should wait for them at the pool" he said quickly, taking his hand and pulling him to the stairs. 

[Sathenus]

Conner turning around and hugging him tightly made Noya hum happily, the embrace did make him feel better as he rested his head on the other's chest. Listening to his heart and breathing, letting that help ease the uneasy feeling he had. Hugging Conner tightly back he let out a really soft sigh himself, trying to decide how best to respond. Conner was saying that she didn't mean anything anymore but Noya didn't believe that. He didn't feel like his boyfriend would have had such a reaction if that was completely true. While he did believe that Conner didn't love her anymore, Noya knew that he still felt something. What that was he wasn't entirely sure, but he didn't want Conner to completely ignore how she made him feel either.

"You may not love her anymore but she still means something to you." Noya said softly, worried Conner would get mad at him. He buried his face in the other's chest, taking in a deep breath before slowly lifting his head to look up at him. Turning his head he looked up at his boyfriend and offered a small smile. "Despite all the questions I have I don't want to bombard you... I just want you to know that I'm here. That I love you and when you're ready to talk about it I'll listen with an open mind." Noya honestly told him. He loved the older man and didn't want to do anything the could jeopardize his relationship with him.

Pulling away a little his smile turned to a small smirk as he eyes the older man with a slightly heated look. "Besides, no one could love you nearly as much or as well as I do." He playfully teased, trying to lighten the mood a little. At the same time he wasn't lying either, the relationship they had was special and the other man meant the world to him. Noya just hoped that Conner was aware no one else compared to him in his eyes. He loved everything about Conner, the man was perfect, practically god-like in his eyes.

 

Aziel had been about to know and rush the two along but Hinata was catching his hand and pulling him towards the pool instead. "Ahh... okay." He replied not arguing despite the fact that he felt like he should get the pair to join them now. Maybe Hinata was right? Let them come join them when they were ready, maybe they were having a deep heart to heart talk or something. That wasn't something that he wanted to interrupt and he knew they should give the pair a moment. Especially since he didn't think it would be easy to get the story out of Conner despite the man's feelings for Noya. His best friend had tried very hard to put the entire thing behind him and never think of it again. Who would have thought that it'd all catch up to him in such a way? Aziel certainly hadn't and he could only hope that Marie would get the point and keep her distance.

"You may not love her anymore but she still means something to you." 

No. That wasn't true. She didn't meant anything to him anymore. She was nothing. He loved Noya. She was his past. His past that screwed him big time. His past that made him close his heart to anything romantic possible. 

"It's nothing love .... Its just .... someone that i used to be with and hopped never to see again. That's all" he said shortly not feeling to tell him more. He didn't want to tell Noya about what he went through. What happened, how he felt, how much it changed him and what he had become because of that event. He didn't want Noya to find him weak and pathetic. He was a man. He shouldn't had been weak and cry for something like that. Noya knew Conner to be tough, strong and stable person. Not the shallow self that he had been before. 

Quote

"Besides, no one could love you nearly as much or as well as I do."

"You sure are right about that love" he said smiling at his teasing comment, leaning down and kissing his lips, wanting to forget the whole scene from the restaurant. They were on vacation and he wasn't going to let his past ruin it. "Let's get to the others before i decide to continue this teasing game" he groan and growled a little between their lips, controlling himself. They really had to meet up with the others. 

[Sathenus]

What little Conner did decide to tell him along with how he said it was enough to tell Noya that Conner was done with this conversation and didn't want to speak anymore about it. "Okay." He replied with a small nod. The last thing he wanted to do was push things and make the other upset with him, so if Conner truly only wanted to share that much then who was he to argue with that. 

It did seem like his playful tease helped diffuse the tension that had come from the entire situation. Seeing that smile on his boyfriend's face caused his own to grow, happy that Conner agreed with him. Noya was happy to return the kiss, letting out a little groan of disappointment at the suggestion that they go meet up with the others before Conner decided to continue this teasing game. He'd much rather keep teasing but he knew that this vacation and trip was still a gift to Aziel and so it'd be rude of him to keep Conner all to himself.

Instead he flashed the other another smile, "Okay, but I can't promise I won't still be a tease at the pool." Noya admitted honestly. Quickly he changed into his bathing suit before he was grabbing Conner's hand once the other had changed and the bag with their towels in it. Pulling his boyfriend from the room and happily making his way towards the pool. His fingers entwined with the others as they walked. Letting himself be completely distracted from the events in the restaurant and instead focused on the group and just having fun with his boyfriend.
