ARRIVAL.

𝑰𝑵𝑺𝑼𝑺𝑼𝑹𝑹𝑶: 𝑨 𝑾𝑶𝑹𝑳𝑫 𝑾𝑰𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑼𝑻 𝑫𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑵𝒀

𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 you moved under your own power. The shadows that dwelt in the corners of your vision vanished, the world is bright and the shackles of destiny fall from your liberated limbs.

You're free.

But before you can take that next step, before you can alter your fate, a terrible howling fills your ears. It's an ill wind full of malice, one that rips you off of your feet and back, back, back from this chance to seize your destiny. The shadows coalesce into a single entity, its hands locking around your throat. It cannot let this stand.

You think that maybe this is the end. The world goes dark as it rushes past you, this is the end.

Except you wake to the feeling of rain on your skin.

The cliffs around you bare the scars of a fierce battle. Before you, a massive city faces the sea. Behind you, greenery sprawls for miles. Midgar has never looked so beautiful, but it has also never looked so unlike itself. The Sister Ray points proudly towards the sea. A bustling city crawls out from its shadow, looking wealthier and more robust than the slums ever did. You don't have long to ponder this.

Because you aren't alone. Others are coming to, looking just as confused and uncertain as you do. Some are battleworn and bloody, as if they were pulled from a fierce battle. Others appear to be in perfect health, as if they were simply pulled from a long slumber, though no less confused and lost. The howling that filled your slowly begins to fade, and as it does, the rain begins to clear.

𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐆𝐀𝐑 is within a few hours walking distance. 𝐊𝐀𝐋𝐌 lies not much further in the opposite direction. There is no presence urging you to walk to one or the other, no voice from on high telling you what path your feet should walk. Underneath this infinite blue sky the choice to go - or to stay - is entirely yours.

[Based on how Rufus was dressed, he could believe that he had come from Midgar, that wasn't at all a stretch. What was puzzling was what he, or anyone else, was doing there in Kalm. It was no Wall Market, and even the locals seemed to be sparse.

Perhaps recent events had also lead the man to avoid heading toward Edge and Midgar, and instead choose this little town. It was unlikely anyone out here would recognize his name, face, or the fact that he was not used to being this far outside "civilization". At least he has a good amount of gil on him, but none of his other belongings.]

This Midgar?

[Andrea points toward where the city would have been located if they were outside. It might have sounded like an odd question to ask anyone from this world, but it could reveal quite a bit depending on Rufus' response.]

No, definitely not. I know this sounds insane but I woke up outside of Midgar in the rain.

[Every time someone happened to glance in their direction Rufus inwardly winced, hoping that no one would say anything if they recognized him. He really didn't want to deal with any of that right now.

He tucked his phone away, giving up on trying to contact the Turks at this point. If any of them are here, they'll find him eventually.]

I take it you've found yourself here in a similar manner then.

[It did sound insane, but yet here he was under similar circumstances. Andrea turned to face the man again, his gaze more discerning than previously. Pretty face, nice hair, clothing was worn but not of poor quality. Why did he seem so familiar?

Andrea evades that line of thought when Rufus speaks again. He's seen so many people that keeping faces in order became near impossible after a time, and with a face like that, he'd obviously remember meeting him before no matter the circumstance.]

Yes. I woke up outside of Midgar after having gone to bed in Wall Market, and like you, the Midgar I'm familiar with doesn't look like that one. So I came here.

[The more he appreciates the profile of the man beside him, the less he think about how he got here and the more he wonders what the man might be up to later. The fingers of his free hand idly trace over the upper ridge of his lips like he's deep in thought, until he catches himself and takes up the drink placed in front of him instead.]

As strange as it all is, I'm glad to have crossed paths with you. Beauty like yours is a rare sight, and I'm lucky to be in the presence of your radiance.

Interesting.

[But Rufus is distracted from asking more questions when he noticed the way Andrea was looking him over. He's momentarily distracted by the way Andrea's lip traces over his lip, not sure why it's so fascinating. For a moment he's worried that he's been recognized but the worry passes as soon as the other man speaks again.

Is that so? Perhaps we could make this a night to remember.

[Radiant? He's been flattered many times before, he knows he's attractive, but this is the first time someone has said his beauty is radiant. ]

Perhaps you can start by buying me a drink.

[If Andrea didn't recognize him than Rufus was going to let himself enjoy this.]

[When he'd spoken, Andrea didn't expect to be rewarded with such an encouraging response. Regardless of how Rufus answered, he'd intended to buy the man a drink, maybe two. He gestures for the barkeep to come forward, leaning in to let the man know he was to get his new friend whatever it was his heart desired.

The gesture may have been grander if they were someplace nicer, but it's all he can manage right now so far from home and the clout that comes with being who he is. Since he has enough for another night in his room at the Inn, he may as well make the most of it.]

Let him know whatever you want. It's on me for tonight, beautiful. [Despite his overly complimentary words, Andrea keeps a good amount of physical distance between them. Someone as lovely as Rufus must have been used to this kind of treatment, and to assume it would be enough to win his favor would have been a mistake. Assumptions couldn't be made with a creature as stunning as this.]

Andrea Rhodea. It's a pleasure to meet you..

The pleasure is all mine, Andrea.

[There was a thrill of being someone anonymous right now. He likes that Andrea is upfront and doesn't tiptoe around him as so many people often do. He's used to being treated delicately as if he's some breakable collector's item.

He froze for a moment when Andrea asked him his name, ordering a drink to give himself more time to try to think of a fake name. Rufus wasn't a terribly common name and most people had a vague idea of what Rufus Shinra looked like even if they had never seen him before.]

My name isn't important. Tonight I'm simply your new friend and I'm sure we'll get to know each other quite well.

[He had a feeling that he wasn't going to be able to keep track of a fake name after a couple of drinks and who knew what else.]

[This was a little bit of a thrill for him as well. Contrary to what one might believe, he wasn't really able to date in Wall Market. There were too many customers, and too many people who knew his face. It would just ask for trouble. Sure he might entertain the obvious tourist with that Shinra Employee haircut and manner of speaking, but he knew not to make a habit of it. He had priorities.

Like getting his bags.]

Well, new friend, I have a few ways we can get better acquainted.

[Andrea took up one of Rufus' hands, and brought it to his lips, kissing the top of it the way he imagined older generations may have attempted to start a courtship. This wasn't that--he just wanted this man's legs wrapped around his face--but it didn't hurt to treat him nicely before ravishing him later.]

I have a room here if this scenery bores you.

[Rufus couldn't help but flush slightly when Andrea took one of his hands to kiss it. He had no intention of continuing this beyond tonight- he was sure he couldn't continue to be anonymous for long- but he was going to enjoy every moment and it seemed Andrea had the same idea.]

I think that's a good idea.

[He finished the last of his drink before getting up. His Turks would say it was too dangerous to go somewhere alone with someone he (or they) knew but he didn't care as he followed Andrea upstairs.

As soon as they were in the room Rufus started taking off his coat and outer layers before turning towards Andrea, tossing clothes aside.]

You have me all night.

[Back at the room he's reminded that they are in a small quiet town so the luxuries he might have had in the city were nowhere to be found. At the very least the bed seemed comfortable.

Andrea had done away with his jacket in a similar manner, taking both Rufus' and his own to hang up near the door as he slipped off his shoes. His hands fell onto the other man's shoulders easily, admiring the shape of him from the bit of remaining clothing on him. His shoulders were broad and his chest was strong but not from any routine effort. Rufus' abdomen tapered to his waist nicely, his hands following while his eyes took him in. His figure was wonderful.]

All night? How did I get so lucky?

[He pulls Rufus' shirt out of his slacks, drawing out his belt from the loops in a single practiced tug at just the right angle.]

You're a vision. I should take my time unwrapping you. [Andrea steps forward, nudging Rufus back a couple of steps before kissing him. It's not shy or stolen, but deliberate and assertive. He likes to communicate that he's sound of mind and acting purely out of attraction. There would be no regrets on his part.]

You've been truly blessed tonight.

lClearly Andrea knew what he was doing which was promising. He reached up to unbutton his shirt as Andrea stepped forward to kiss him. For a moment he wasn't sure what to do but there was only a slight hesitation before he wrapped an arm around Andrea's shoulders to kiss him back.

He would make sure he had no regrets tonight either. He unbuttoned his shirt slowly with one hand as he leaned closer, letting it slide off of his shoulders. His skin was unblemished now aside from a few faint scars. He wasn't ashamed of them nor did he try to hide them.]

You flatter me.

[He laughed breathlessly against Andi's lips, already a bit intoxicated from anticipation.]

[Andrea's lips made themselves comfortable pressed up against the beautiful stranger's. He might never know the man's name, but perhaps if he took good enough care of him he just might change his mind.

Despite being such a good judge of character, he picked up on no signs that Rufus might have not done this sort of thing before. In fact, he takes Andrea's lead so well he would have sworn he was used to being appreciated and worshipped like this. His lips drop down to a bare shoulder when more skin is exposed, kissing at each scar with a gentle care as though they were still fresh.]

You deserve every bit of it.

[Andi seeks out those lips again, but this time reaches back to pull at some strings to his blouse to loosen it that it would be much easier to slide right out of. There's nothing out of the ordinary about him besides the muscles of his chest, shoulders, and arms that he works very hard to maintain. He sets the blouse down behind him on the dresser in the room and returns his attention to Rufus.]

Lie down. Make yourself comfortable.

[He gestures to the bed, one hand tugging at the strings of his pants until they open, but doesn't do anything more to get them off any further than that just yet. There would be time for that later. Right now he just wants to taste the blond. Andrea makes very little effort to hide that, kissing Rufus' bare stomach as soon as he's able, tongue swirling around his navel on his way to kiss over the ridge of a hip bone.]

[Oh the feeling of Andrea's lips across his scars made his breath catch in pleasure. He knew he certainly was worth it but there was something else hearing it from Andrea so openly. He reached out to run his hands along the other man's chest, appreciating the contours of his muscles before resting on his sides.

He only let go to obey Andrea, laying down on the bed to look up at him. The bed wasn't that comfortable but it didn't matter, he had more important things to focus on. He let out a little gasp as Andrea's lips trace down his stomach, down to his hip. There is no hiding how aroused he is already.

He wasn't sure what the other man was going to do next and he couldn't stop himself from squirming a little impatience, letting out a soft groan as he felt the kisses across sensitive skin. He was impatient but at the same time, he wanted this to last as long as possible.]

[There is the matter of Rufus' pants standing in his way, but he takes a moment to undo belt buckles, a button, and zippers before he can bring the fabric down enough to reach in and withdraw the man's cock from his clothes.

Andrea knows exactly what that squirming indicates, and he laughs softly, shaking his head before leaning in to press kisses along the underside of his length, appreciating every inch of a cock about as pretty as Rufus' face. He's not going to make him wait too long, he parts his lips and takes him into his mouth without any bit of reluctance, working his tongue over the slit to tease him before his lips tighten around him.

Since he can't quite speak from this position, he finds himself glancing up every so often to check on the handsome stranger between bobs of his head. Andrea sucks dick like a natural, and doesn't hold back in showing off how efficient he is at it. His hands slide under Rufus' thighs, then settle between his ass and the uncomfortable bed, squeezing gently--almost cautiously.]

[He gasped as Andrea suddenly took his cock into his mouth, the heat and feeling of his tongue rendered his speechless, a moan escaping his lips as Andrea's tongue teased the tip of his cock. He didn't know what he liked, what he would like, so this was a new learning experience.]

Fuck yes- [Rufus decides that he's not holding anything back tonight. He loved the feeling of Andrea's hands sliding down his thighs and then gripping his ass like that. He spread his legs a bit more once he kicked his pants all the way off, not caring how laid out and vulnerable he was.

He shifted his hips up, thrusting a bit into Andrea's mouth without thinking. They had just started and already he knew this was going to be something he would never forget.]

[Andrea opens up his mouth so when Rufus' hips start to move he can slide more easily down the back of his throat. It's been a while since he's last allowed anyone to fuck his mouth, but he has no issue letting this beautiful stranger savage him as he pleases.

There was something unsettlingly arousing about someone assertive enough to take what they wanted without needing reassurance.

He breathes out of his nose as best he can, throat relaxing so he can do what he can to suppress his gag reflex. Andi bobbed his head slowly before pressing his face flush to Rufus' base, taking him fully down his throat, lingering there, and pulling back almost entirely to glance up and evaluate his response.]

[Rufus put a hand on the back of Andrea's neck, overwhelmed by the tight heat of the other man's mouth around him. He had to admire the other man's skill and control to not gag even when Rufus thrust into his mouth.

He let out a low moan as Andrea took him completely into his mouth and then pulled away. His face was flushed as he met the other man's gaze.]

I hope that's not all you have in mind.

[What he does takes concentration, and a focused effort. He learned this trick in his teenage years but hadn't needed to use it too often in adulthood. For the most part he was highly selective of the company he kept.

Andrea raises a brow when Rufus speaks, not in any position to speak, but he does listen to see if Rufus had any more to say. In the meanwhile he squeezes his lips around the head of his cock, sucking hard to bring blood to the tip and then sliding his tongue over the slit slowly but firmly like he was trying to stick the tip of his tongue inside.

What more did he want?]
