Chapter Text
Sejanus waited until everyone else had left and he was just him and Coryo packing their bookbags afterschool before he said it. The words that had been brewing in his mind since Coryo had shifted and squirmed on his lap as they made out the night before.
‘I want to go down on you,’ he said.
‘You want to what?’ Coryo asked, his cheeks turning the most delicious shade of pink as soon as the words had left Sejanus’s lips.
‘Go down on you,’ Sejanus repeated simply.
Coriolanus looked scandalised as he glanced hastily around the deserted locker bay before shoving what looked like two random books into his bookbag and paying a lot of attention to zipping it up before he responded.
‘I don’t know what you mean,’ he said, although his blush and skittish behaviour seemed to belie those words. ‘I don’t know what that even is.’
‘Oh,’ Sejanus said, willing to play along. ‘That’s okay.’ He stepped closer so that he could whisper the words in Coryo’s ear. ‘It’s when you spread your legs for me and I kiss up your thighs and nuzzle my nose right up in your entrance. Then I lick and suck and swallow all of the slick you give me while you –’
Coryo’s breath caught in his throat and even though he quickly stumbled a few steps backwards, the sudden rush of roses on a cold winter’s day told Sejanus that he was more into it than his actions suggested.
‘Sejanus…’ he said, his eyes wide and fearful and dare Sejanus say it, a little intrigued? Then he shook his head, visibly pulling himself together. Oh, his poor little repressed, well-bred Capitol boy. ‘No. I – We don’t do that in the Capitol.’
‘Really?’ Sejanus replied, failing to entirely stifle a laugh. ‘No one in the Capitol?’
Coryo dropped his gaze. ‘Well, no one I know in the Capitol.’ When he looked back into Sejanus’s eyes, his expression was hard and inscrutable. ‘Why are you asking this of me?’
‘I’m not asking anything of you,’ Sejanus said gently. ‘It’s just that…You said that you didn’t want to have sex until after you were married and I respect that. I just thought that this was something else I could do, that isn’t sex, that would make you feel good.’
If Sejanus was being honest, it wasn’t just about that. He craved being closer to Coryo. He wanted to know every part of him and that included the sounds he made when he was in the throes of pleasure, the types of touches that gave him the most satisfaction and how he smelled and looked when he was truly aroused. Coriolanus was everything to him, always, but now that they were growing closer, Sejanus was both awed and a little afraid by how he kept hungering for more. Perhaps he should have felt guilty about it, but he knew for a fact that Coryo didn’t tell him everything, so he felt no shame in keeping this part of his motivation to himself.
Coryo’s lips parted slightly and he shifted his weight from foot to foot.
‘That’s kind of you,’ he said slowly. ‘But I don’t think I’d like it.’
‘Okay,’ Sejanus said calmly, reaching out his hand and feeling a little relieved when Coryo took it. His was a little warm and clammy but Sejanus was too much of a gentleman to point that out. ‘That’s completely fine, we won’t ever do anything you don’t want to do. But if you ever change your mind, you just need to say the word, all right?’
Coryo seemed to take a few deep breaths before he nodded and followed calmly when Sejanus started leading the way to his driver's car.
The walk was spent in silence but he would have sworn he could hear Coryo’s mind racing the whole time.
