[— Cheerfully reaching over to grab the poor man by the ear, and pulling him until they’re nearly nose to nose.

Smiling.

Wings humming on his back like they’re going to stir up invisible storm clouds brewing overhead.]


Ah, just look at you, speaking without thinking! Is this is habit of yours?





[— The fae, is perhaps, a little sensitive about his lack of income]

[But either it’s a bluff or he just can’t be bothered with violence in his savior’s house — the ear is just as easily freed as the fairy returns to his lounging, crossing his arms loosely over his chest. Eyes dancing to the bright amusement of a feline who has a mouse in its sight.]

I’m a little disappointed by this lack of imagination. You’ve a fairy in your house, you know - and you can’t think of anything to ask of me after you’ve taken me off the roads?

[Shrugging a little, a finger reached up to lazily twist into one of his blond locks]

Listen, I know my kind can be a bit… exhausting to deal with, but I like to play nice when I can.

[Which is never.

He hates humanity as easily as he draws breath. Other fairies, at least, can’t help that they’re monstrous; their fates are sealed the moment the world births them, doomed to scripts that cannot be altered. But a human? Their greed and pompous sense of self, the casual way in which they dominate, like it was their given right - it turns the stomach and shoots bile up his throat. Mignon will be no exception.

The only difference here is that Oberon just so happened to come across a human who can be easily fooled, manipulated, and discarded if necessary. So why not offer up a little miracle to keep a pawn in his grip?

Fair’s fair. Summon a demon, and someone will be sacrificed at the altar]


Tell me — do you wish for fortune? Love? Respect? Power? I can give you anything you wish.

[… Hm.]

How sad. You really don’t know what you want?

[The fairy clucks his tongue at this man half-bowed before him like a pauper, cheshire smile alive and well on his expression despite being turned down. It doesn’t sting at his pride; at best, he’ll consider it a minor setback, proof that Mignon might not be worth the effort, but—

No, it’s not even that. Oberon just can’t be bothered to hiss and growl when the human can’t even strum up a wish in the first place. The questions such as statement brings up — I wasn't really allowed to think — are bleak enough to paint their own conclusions. Partly why the fae does not ask them. Besides, if he wanted a sob story, he’d go on the hunt for a 3-penny play. They’re all a dime a dozen.

… Still:]


Then you just need time, yes? [Reaching forward, his index finger pushing at Mignon’s forehead until there’s a bit more space to breathe between them, then dips to trace a faint line along his jaw] To figure out what your soul craves — and lucky for you, I am very patient. Why, I’ll even help you figure out the answer!

[All humans have wishes; Mignon best not insult him by implying otherwise. It’s a matter of twisted principle, now, to insist and push until the human bends to his benevolence.]

— Eh?

[He.

leans right on back against the couch.

because what the hell.]


Wait, hold on now — [Stumbling over his response, some of that sensual veneer sliding right off his expression, and his gaze bounces between Mignon’s excitement and his hand thoroughly trapped in that eager grip. It’s not even that the human seems determined to erode any space between them — but more the nature of that wish, disgustingly innocent in its request for companionship. Like simply the opportunity to have another in his orbit would satisfy Mignon.

What sort of lonely, cursed star was this human born under?]


— Mignon. I am a fairy. Fairy.

[Throwing his face right back at the other’s, their foreheads momentarily ground against one another.]

What on earth are you going to get out of spending time with me? I could just bewitch you a companion if that’s what you’re after!

And I would have attempted to kill you at least thrice if my mystics weren’t locked away. The average human doesn’t make friends with anything not of their ilk.

[A touch more honest than he’d normally be; he’ll blame it on the absurdity of the moment. Having long since given up on Mignon having a conniving bone in his body, twisting the man ‘round his finger has already lost its enjoyment, he recognizes, and the irritated huff of breath disrupts both of the bangs.

This man is a fighter? Bullshit he is. Oberon refuses to believe it when this is like entering the ring with a newborn. Grinding his teeth underneath the hands cupped along his jaw, the fae’s shoulders’ eventually drop with a sigh]


Your choice of wish leaves a lot to be desired here— [Calling it as he sees it] … But I don’t get to comment on the quality. I’ll grant you a week of me.

[— A week, to coincide with the time it will take to heal. At the heart of the matter, it’s what Oberon was angling for, anyway: a shelter, until he can reach back into his own soul and wield his magic against anyone who thought him easy prey. Really, when the only hiccup to his plans is a man throwing himself on the sword before the fae can think to double cross him, there really isn’t anything worth complaining about.]

I trust you have no complaints?

[There’s so much in those statements that sets Oberon’s nose to wrinkling - the very notion of a fairy having a friend would have him laughing if a good chuckle wouldn’t aggravate his wound — but one musing in particular has his fingers tightened around the wrist that’s strayed close to the bandages.]

You’ve clearly never had an interaction with a fairy before. Otherwise you wouldn’t be so quick to make a promise to one.

[The human realm is one of physicality. The power of the spoken word cannot easily contend with the brute strength of someone who’d simply break you into pieces. But it’s different for the fae; they weave their power from word, from mystics, while regarding the strength of man as nothing more than a garish fumbling of a species with no decorum. Like watching children throw their fists at the earth and expect it to split open for them.

(… never mind the fact that it sometimes works, and it’s exactly why the fae can’t help themselves, on occasion: to strike deals, play along, take a human to their bed, allow their own subjugation. Why, he can think of many fairies who’d love this human painstakingly taking care of him, and would be more than happy to take that promise and noose Mignon like an animal…)

His mouth works into a line, untangling the thought and sighing. His fingers, comically thin when spread over the human’s much broader wrist, loosen, the moment of warning passing.]


Do not feel bad for me, Mignon. I’ve hurt humans as many times as they’ve hurt me. Fair is fair.

[… And then, briskly, eyes flitting away.]

In any case, I’ve no interest in bringing you to harm. You’ve such a bleeding heart, I’m starting to get concerned here. Do you normally just pick up strays and bandage them up? You need to break that habit.

… Do not tell me that you just discovered what your type is.

[The rest of all that? Vaguely irritating in all the ways Oberon doesn’t feel like examining yet, since at least half of Mignon’s response wasn’t the logic of a fool. Really, the nerve of the human, pointing out that his instincts were correct if Oberon’s not even bothering to pretend he’s motivated to kill—

But that random statement about the direction that their previous interaction took… Well, there’s blunt confidence, and then there’s the disastrously bold nonsense of a man with no filter. It’s enough to stun him into silence as the fairy’s jaw works, unsure if he should be annoyed or amazed.]


To think you were being so forthright when you said you liked me… and you still just kept your hands to yourself.
morninglark: (308)

[personal profile] morninglark 2025-05-30 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Oberon will spare Mignon the lecture — that he has encountered very few humans willing to keep their hands to themselves when the fairy has shown any willingness to indulge them — and instead lets out a snort of laughter in return when the other stares at him as if he’s grown a second head.

Y’know what? Fair enough. It’s not as if he’s explained the details of his anatomy to the man.

It’s why, without preamble, the hand still loosely tied to Mignon’s wrist releases its hold and goes to find purchase in the collar of his shirt, tugging at him with three, short bursts of insistent determination until the space between them once again turns minuscule, enough for Oberon to catch the sundrops of color in Mignon’s eyes. Head tilted, eyes slanted in mischief:]


Well, certainly, if you decided to get rough with me, it’d be a problem, but… a kiss would suffice.

[What]

You seemed so eager, it didn’t strike me as important enough to explain the details, but… [Only barely able to keep the corners of his mouth from pulling into an impish, borderline cruel grin] I’m the type of fairy that can use a human’s energy for sustenance. Helps me heal all the faster! Usually it gathers in one’s bodily fluids, and so…

[Blood. Saliva. Semen. It’s all the same to him. In a pinch, taking a lover isn’t a bad deal; Mignon’s pretty face and impressive physique were not the only reasons Oberon wasn’t against the human pressing him into the couch cushions. He even factored the possibility into his week-long healing. A kiss alone won’t exactly shave off an entire day of rest, but it will not hurt his case, either]

[It’s all eager brawn and little subtlety with this one. Oberon might not have expected much else, but there is still a note of surprise hidden in the back of his throat after Mignon stares him down and decides he’s been patient long enough, leaned forward with enough power to drive Oberon’s head against the couch. Didn’t even give him a chance to explain more of the optics; that a true energy exchange might leave Mignon a little winded if Oberon doesn’t decide to behave, and the fae aren’t exactly known for their diplomacy when they’ve something they want.

It’ll earn the man a scolding, Oberon decides, until a brush of tongue inside his mouth insists he leave such thoughts for later.

It’s a novice’s kiss - someone with limited experience, graced only by their eagerness. But Oberon chooses to remain pliant for a few beats anyway, offering up the chance for Mignon to explore at his leisure. The human adjusts his passion, tilts his head, massages their mouths together like a man starved of touch, and in response Oberon sighs deeply, a pleased hum escaping him when their noses brush.

Heat pools in his stomach. His tongue tracing against the human’s bottom lip, Oberon pulls back to lick his own lips, eyes opened again, the traces of energy turning the rims of his pupils a violent blue.]


Don’t tell me you’re just going to stand there. [Voice a touch more lightfeathered than he anticipates, pretending that his chest isn’t more quickly drawing in breath. Reaching over, his fingers find a path to Mignon’s elbow, tracing against the muscle of the other’s forearm until he massages the dip right below Mignon’s palm, where he can feel a thundering pulse begin to pick up speed.] Or are you still determined to be a gentleman?

[And here he thought the couch comfortable enough; Oberon would have endured Mignon climbing between his legs and crushing him into the cushions, if that’s where the night led them. There’s energy to collect, and an all-too willing host to keep him company. But he sees no reason to voice a complaint when he’s collected into Mignon’s embrace and then carefully sprawled over a much larger expanse of mattress, dipping that much further down when the human adds his weight to the bed, loomed over him like a mountain blotting out the sun. With that shirt removed, Oberon’s brows arch high in response - taking his time to observe the man less than arm’s length away.

He’s seen his share of humans. Their variety is less impressive than that of the fae, who will take the shape of anything on a whim… But a human is just a human. Arms, legs, a torso, a head; count out every boring finger and toe, it’s all the same.

Much as he’d rather throw Mignon into that same boring pile… it’s difficult when one of those hands spreads large enough to sweep at half of his chest, a bear paw. His nipples fondled to attention, the fae’s eyes flutter, swallowing down a pleased hiss.]


I think I’ve voiced enough complaints already for you to trust my honesty.

[Lips spilling over into a smirk at his own joke. He slips his arms out of their sleeves — silently noting how useless the garment was in the end — and reaches up at last, mimicking Mignon’s explorations by dragging his fingertips along the human’s skin. Reading the ripple of muscle near Mignon’s ribs as if braille, the story of countless hours poured into honing such a body for the spectacle. The other called himself a fighter, and the proof is clear: cut diamond, fat shaved clean from the bone, leaving behind heaving muscle slowly beginning to gather a sheen of sweat.

… Fine. So it is a handsome body, he relents. Worth the attention he’ll be giving to it. Both his hands and eyes wander south in anticipation, nails dragging down the human’s abdomen like he wants to see it jump and tremble underneath.]


Be at ease; you’re not going to hurt me. [Already at the border of those sweatpants, teasing the edge of the fabric between his thumb and forefinger — of course noticing the bulge that’s as lacking in subtlety as Mignon himself. Eyes narrowing in on the sight, but a shame; it will have to sit there twitching for a moment longer.]

Do you have another promise you wish of me? Hurry, before my patience runs dry.

[— That is not the request he anticipated.

And Oberon’s hands still for it, accidentally relinquishing the “lead” to Mignon when there is suddenly a very rude hand positioned between his legs and still on his chest, those large fingers squeezing him with such pointedness that the fae’s head snaps backwards into the mattress with a strangled grunt. Goddamnit all—]


I did not— [Pausing. Struggling to string together a coherent sentence that won’t embarrass him further. His brows twitch and his body squirms, and it’s a coin toss between arousal or irritation at having lost his footing.] — did not take you for the possessive sort.

[Having to drag in an inhale, a veiled attempt to keep his chest from fluttering, and it only half-works when Mignon’s free to fondle him. His hips flex, rutting upward to turn that grip into a slow, deliberate stroke. The human’s eyes are on him — ready to learn in how many ways he might squeeze out another note of pleasure from him, the fairy assumes — and maybe that’s not how he quite imagined this going, when he’d been ready to noose Mignon by the cock and perhaps tease the man to his breaking point…]

You’ve some nerve, asking me that when I’m frail and helpless.

[— Is it technically a lie when his mystics are locked away and he’s sporting a bullet wound? Clearly Mignon just needs to ignore every other moment when Oberon has insinuated that he’d behead the human for so much as looking at him funny, or snarled at him like a wild animal, or nearly pulled his ear off, or—]

Mm, very well… I’ll accept only your energy. [Huffing out a breath between his teeth, ignoring the gathering heat that weaves up his neck and splotches his pale chest. It isn’t true affection — they’re both well aware — so Oberon sees no reason to play at this like he’s signing off his autonomy. The weight of the promise is diminished by virtue of that time limit. Seeing as he never planned to take another human lover in the first place…

Fingers finding their energy renewed, Oberon pulls down the hem of Mignon’s sweatpants at last — over that visible hump until a half-hardened cock that’d been tucked into the fabric is freed for his inspection — and still irritable, the grip his fingers take are hardly gentle. A rough stroke, thumb already swiping at the head, pressing into the slit until a gathering of pre-cum wets the pad of his finger.

His eyes narrowed in on Mignon’s face like he expects to be well compensated for his work.]

[Watching Mignon groan and stutter in place when Oberon starts playing with his cock draws out mirthful laughter, a bell of dark satisfaction to hang in the air, mingled with the heat and sweat. The poor man looks like the fae took a knife between his ribs and left him a trembling mess on the verge of orgasm. Such a sight. Normally his human lovers are so enamored with their good fortune at finding a fairy, that they simply let Oberon bully and abuse them as he pleases; it’s a much rarer play when he finds someone almost stubbornly set to making him come.

— And then of course, as if to give that unbidden thought further weight, there is the sudden shock of teeth sinking into the meat of his neck when the bastard lunges forward like a canine, turning Oberon’s amusement into a blinding red heat. Maybe he curses. Or moans. It’s hard to tell which. Only that he arches his back, wings twitching, while that sound escapes him, dredged up from the bottom of his throat like a lone pearl pulled from the wreckage, and Mignon will be paying for that.

The hand still clutched around Mignon’s member twitches before renewing its efforts, his fingers slicked with precome and gliding up, down, up, down — squeezing with force meant to pump Mignon dry if the human doesn’t concentrate on holding back. It’s turn into war, a race to see who trips the other up at the finish line — and he feels his own heart stuttering to an uneven beat of pleasure as Mignon doubles down as well, stroking him from the tip to his balls in fast, excited gestures, muscles clenching in excitement, until—]


— No, stop.

[Abrupt, his head tilted so that his words brush at the shell of the human’s ear, even as the other licks and nibbles bruises into his neck]

This won’t do, you know. [Chest openly panting now - the smallest confession offered, proof that for an inexperienced human, he certainly got the fae’s blood pumping.] You’ll just waste it all.

[… He mentioned the energy he needed was collected in bodily fluids, did he not? Perhaps there wasn’t any further elaboration, but that fact hasn’t changed. This surprising power play isn’t the direction he wants this to go tonight, when his wound is still fresh and his prospects for freedom are all too limited.

— He’s distracting, for a human. Almost irritatingly so. All the more reason Oberon knows it best to keep his sense about him.

Smiling, his teeth shine like pearls - or perhaps a feline’s teeth. The hand not busy drawing a finger along the pulsing veins of Mignon’s erection comes up to twist and play in the human’s hair, curling strands between his fingers]


Well? Are you coming up, or am I going down? Where shall my mouth go?
morninglark: (314)

[personal profile] morninglark 2025-06-01 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[The obscenity isn’t lost on him: his shoulders pinched between Mignon’s knees and that large erection looming inches away from him face, the cock standing at attention despite gravity attempting to weigh it down. Trapped in place with his head haloed by hair so pale, it surrounds his face like a glow of light, and it’s probably a small miracle Mignon hasn’t accidentally come on him. His hands somewhat pinned by his sides as well, it means there’s only one method left at his disposal.]

If that’s what you like. [Reply a wave of moist heat that brushes directly over the erection’s head, and he does not hide the smirk in his voice when another dribble of precome starts pooling at the tip. Close enough for him to lean forward, lick it clean, if he truly wanted. The human’s going to leak all over if he doesn’t get the show on the road, otherwise, but—]

Ah… You’ll have to help me, Mignon.

[The picture of fake innocence. Batted eyelashes and a little squirm upon the mattress, as if the very effort of moving when the human’s body looms overhead is too much for the fairy to bear. Yet even still, his “trapped” hands raise, tracing up and down along the back of Mignon’s thighs — quietly impressed that even here, all he can find is honed muscle tensing under his touch.

A gentle, insistent tap. Pushing at those legs dutifully keeping the bulk of Mignon’s frame from bearing down on him and burying into a waiting mouth. Again, his voice comes out a whisper of breath, watching the erection twitch.]
Come now… If you don’t at least angle it down, we’ll never finish.

[Lifting his gaze to that reddened face, ensuring that Mignon cannot escape the challenge that glows like an ember behind the glass of his blue eyes. Go on then. The other claimed he was no gentleman, and Oberon’s giving him clearance to take his pleasure by the head, as it were. All in spirited debauchery. He’ll even consider it Mignon’s reward for his surprising hospitality.]

Go on… you needn’t be that gentle.
