Work Text:
Angelu never got to go home. By the end of the second year of stay, sta is still struggling and everything, although people talk to star sometimes. Sta is a mere janitor still.
So, the email is a surprise. Nobody is supposed to know of it, and yet.
It's a marriage request. Sta frowned, snorted, didn't get it at first. Sta looks back at Grim, he knows how to take care of himself, doesn't he? He does now.
And, Angelu isn't meaning anything important there.
Idia Shroud had overblotted by the start of the first year. He came back though, and Angelu isn't sure of the details. Something about his brother. His little brother was on second year now, sta passed by him sometimes.
He was the most handsome boy of Night Raven Academy. Ortho, sta remembers his name.
Why would Idia want to marry star though? Angelu sends a message asking about it, and waits. Is it spam? A prank?
"You are the only person I wouldn't feel so bad about pulling here, and really, this is a good option since you have nowhere to go."
The screen shines upon star thoughtful face. Yes, that is true.
So after saying goodbye to a crying Grim, sta is pulled in to a helicopter where he is not at.
Ortho comes to the wedding. His parents too. It's a small ceremony. They hug star like sta is part of the family.
And then, they go to work and class, and sta is left there.
There's no wedding night in the lewd sense of the word. Idia sits down, talks. It seems he finds star pretty cute, and he can sense sta is an introvert and low maintenance.
He doesn't kiss star, too flustered when sta suggests. They didn't at the wedding.
They sleep side by side, and when it's early, Angelu feels the bed moving. He gets up and doesn't kiss star good morning. He leaves.
At least, sta has access to the internet. Sta reads, studies, even writes all day. It's only when sta grows dizzy and remember of hunger, Angelu gets up and opens the door.
Not actually.
It's locked.
First, sta thinks it's a prank. Then remembers the phantoms. And then, even so, sta searches around the place and manages to find some food. It's astronaut food, better than nothing.
Idia doesn't come that night.
Angelu eats the next morning, counting. Hoping it's just a fluke. He has to come back, right? Even to feed star?
A week passes by before he has the mind to come back. He is startled, like he had forgotten sta was there.
Angelu wishes to feel offended but it's a relief that he is back without sta having to send an email in order to have more food.
He doesn't touch star though. He never does. And Angelu doesn't quite know how to touch him, it feels unwelcome.
He is really not star husband, is he? He is just Idia.
But, at least he shows star how to access the new food, a compartment on the wall that is filled and changed every day by Charons.
"Hm, Idia-san…? I wrote this, if you would like to see." Sta hands out star tablet given by him. He hums and puts it on the side.
And doesn't read, distracted by the computer.
Hands fist star tunic, realizing this would last forever. Sta isn't a partner, but a doll wife.
"Can I go too?" Sta asks another day he bothers to come, another day he leaves star behind to work. He sneers.
"So you get lost or touches what you shouldn't?"
Star hands fall down to star lap, looking away. Oh, this isn't going to work, is it?
Because they are married, sta gets stumped whenever he doesn't behave as the role imply. Sta keeps having wrong expectations due to the label. Keeps getting it wrong.
"Idia-san, let's divorce." Sta finally says, six months after. He is quiet for a bit, before finally processing.
"What." He touches star for the first time. Holding star shoulders, hair blazing red behind him. Sta freezes. "Why. Aren't I giving you everything you need here?"
"… I feel like I am doing this wrong, it's all." Sta is afraid of setting him off further. Sta is hurt, but it's star fault for being able to be hurt.
It's his fault, but it's not safe to think that, not right now.
"So now you are just going to drop it? That's why you are so bad at video games, newbie behavior." He rolls his eyes, and Angelu burns in shame. "You don't even have anywhere to go."
"… Could you tell me what am I doing wrong. What am I supposed to expect, or what I should do as your partner?" How does sta gets just a single crumb of attention, how does sta do anything right?
He snorts. "Just stay here, and don't cheat on me. Well, if you really want to be busy, I guess we could do insemination. It's not a good time for it yet but if you are so bored."
Angelu nods, unable to phrase anything else. Sta will take it. Sta will take being inseminated without doing a single kiss.
It's embarrassing to yearn so much for him, but he is the only one sta sees those days.
Star parents in law are the ones who do it. They apologize so much for not seeing star after the wedding, for being so busy. It's the first time in a long while that sta is hugged, and Angelu shamefully holds on to the hug, star heart feeding voraciously.
"How is being the marriage, is he being good to you?" Sta nods, unable to object.
If sta says something is wrong, will he withdraw further? Sta cannot risk it. Sta is just lonely. "Yeah… it's just… a little lonely sometimes…" Sta barely admits. Star mother in law coos, hugs star further, tighter.
"You shouldn't be afraid of getting your fill when he is free, alright?" The woman looks at star so sweetly, Angelu want to tear up. Star throat knots and sta nods silently.
Star womb doesn't work well, and it takes a few tries. The Shroud mother reasons, that must be why they were trying this way. Angelu has no heart to tell he never kissed star, ever.
Star father in law sometimes speaks like Idia gushes about star, that Angelu is cute. Always out of star earshot though.
Why doesn't he act like it then?
Angelu doesn't remember his face anymore. It's been a while since sta raised star gaze to meet his. He stammers and gets upset when sta does.
Sta doesn't understand what sta is doing wrong. Angelu only knows, sta doesn't dare to name the baby growing in star tummy. It's not stars, it's his, right?
Bitter thoughts of being an incubator. Yet, sta sings to star tummy, tell stories and write stories for it.
And then, it's the end of the year. Ortho comes by, and star heart skips a beat when he reaches for star hands, hugs star tight. "Angelu Andersen-san! We didn't keep contact much, did we? Nii-san said to give you some space… but now, you must be used to Styx, right?"
Angelu nods, unsure. Sta is used to star room, does it count? He notices the hesitation.
"What's wrong, Angelu-san?"
"Tired… just tired. I don't… actually go out much. Idia-san said it's dangerous for the baby."
"Yes, that may be. But, we could go on the surface of Island of Woe? Do you like flowers?" Sta nods softly before hesitating.
"C-can I really go?"
"Of course you can! There's nowhere safer than by my side!" Angelu's eyes meet up his. Fascination murks with self doubt.
Can sta really? He pulls star hand, guiding with such tenderness even when sta tires. He holds star up in bridal carry that Idia never attempted to, even up the elevators. When they meet the surface covered with a fake sky, sta can't help a gasp.
It has been a year.
Ortho squints, a lot of the situation feels off. But he doesn't say anything yet.
He shows star around, having star try typical food, sit by the garden, making flower crowns to star and teaching the way.
"This way, you can teach my nephew about flower crowns!" Ortho announces once sta starts getting it right.
"I can?" Angelu's eyes widen before sta can help it. "But… I need flowers for that."
"You can always come up here and get some. Or bully Nii-san, I will let it if it's you." There's something off. Angelu's eyes drop, drip hopelessly.
"I don't know."
"… What if I brought them to you?" He reaches for star hands, careful not to undo the flower crown in star hands. "Angelu-san, what is wrong?"
Sta stutters, pulls star hands back, but it's no use.
"How is Nii-san treating you?"
"… Not bad?" The lie slips without any confidence. "He… isn't being cruel. It's just me… I think I am bad at this." It's always easier to take up responsibility, let them scream at star and go, instead of having them talk to the person in question. Angelu's shoulders tense, waiting, hoping sta is being truthful enough that it comes across that way.
Angelu cannot deal with Idia being scolded about it. Being talked to about it. He's going to pull himself away further, and then sta will be isolated completely and trapped if he does.
"But he likes you. He should be treating you nicely." Ortho frowns. "He doesn't take you out on dates? Do you dislike how he touches you?"
He isn't touching star anyway.
"Did you want to be pregnant at least, Angelu-san?"
"I don't mind." But, does sta gets to raise the baby? Name it? Sta is terrified of asking. Both how the answer will be given and how sta will learn that the baby will not be stars to care for. Incubator. Sta doesn't raise star gaze to meet his.
Star body seems to have been signed away to belong to the Shroud family to use. Even what it produces.
"You don't mind?" Ortho sounds heartbroken.
"Because… It's company." Sta admits.
Ortho processes, thankfully not letting go.
"Ortho-san?"
"Hm? Yes, Angelu-san?"
"… H-how long can I keep it?"
"What. Nine months, right?"
"No, I mean… After. Am I…" Allowed to raise it?
"Yes. Yes, of course you can keep the baby after, if that's what you want. Angelu-san, why would you think otherwise?"
"I don't know." Sta isn't a good partner.
"Did Nii-san said you couldn't keep the baby?"
"No… He didn't say that. It's just, part of duties, I think?" Angelu frowns, trying to make sense of it. It doesn't make sense, sta knows, but sta is not living a life where it gets to make sense, and trying to explain it just shows all the holes of logic. "I thought…" Sta thought sta was supposed to be alone. That's what it keeps looking like. A baby is company, so does sta gets to keep?
Sta is supposed to be in a loving relationship. Sta doesn't know if that's supposed to be loving, if that's how being loved is. If it is so, why is sta so frustrated?
"I'm not a good partner, sorry." Sta mumbles. "I keep… asking. I'm sorry."
Ortho is gathering the picture, and it doesn't look good at all. He could sigh in exasperation at his brother. "Angelu-san, you don't have to apologize."
"But, I am supposed to be low mantainance. I don't understand why I keep failing. He buys me games, he feeds me, he only got angry once, and I get to write all day. But, marriage is too difficult." Sta feels like a whiny little sister whose brother is busy and can't help her defeat the boss.
Sta doesn't mean to.
Doll-like fingers wipe star tears. "We will stay late up here, alright?" Ortho never was the type to scold seriously Idia, beyond him being unable to clean up after himself. But, low mantainance, it made him understand the expression of a bad taste in his mouth.
He got a pet wife and now gets mad when sta is trying to play the role he gave star.
"We will play as much as you want, up here, and eat all sorts of nice things. Do you have any pregnancy cravings? I will sate them all, okay?"
Star lips part, but there's so much sta wants, nothing comes out, like stuck on the way.
Only whimpers do, as a full body shudder runs over star. Ortho takes up star close tight, hold until sta stops trembling and trying not to weep loudly. Just this much, just a hug to keep star shards from spilling to the floor, is enough.
Ortho was already being gentle before, but his fingers running carefully through star hair, star heart strings are bare and played with, devouring affection like a starving monster. Sta has to reject it, but when will sta ever be free again?
It will hurt so bad when sta is locked up again.
Angelu looks clearly like sta cried soon after, but when the shopkeepers attempt to ask if sta is okay, Ortho glares before asking much gentler than they would what sta would like. Trinkets, all sorts, anything that sta finds pretty, anything for his sibling in law. Sta glances up in hesitation whenever he buys it, but he press that he wanted to spend time with star for so long since the marriage, so wouldn't sta give him the chance? Ice cream, cakes, pastries, the way sta has to stop to savor each because sta doesn't know when will sta ever get the chance again.
Sta never asks for anything, it just comes naturally. So what is his brother failing at?
The sky gets dark, the lights start turning on preparing all to go home and rest. Angelu watches it warily, sorrowfully, knowing star time is running out.
"Angelu-san, come to my room?" Sta is startled by the request.
Sta knows the right answer. But he won't even be there.
"I don't know if I am allowed…" He smiles, strained about his brother's effect.
"You are a Shroud now. And, I don't want you to be all alone in Nii-san's bedroom. He isn't coming tonight, is he?" His hands run through star cheeks, and sta almost whines for more, closing star eyes the same way sta did for every delicious cake. "You are touch starved. How long has Nii-san not touched you?"
Angelu looks away. "I don't remember…" Never is a worse word. But in anger manages to be even worse. "Not too long…"
"But not enough?"
Never. Not like that. Angelu doesn't say that. Sta just savors it.
"Come to my room. We will talk a lot more about it there."
He takes stops when sta starts to walk difficultly, carries star when star unused body starts hurting. Soon, they are in Ortho's bedroom.
It looks very childish.
"We didn't have the time to fully organize, and I would feel bad in throwing away the original Ortho's toys." Ortho giggles, shrugs. Angelu doesn't ask questions, just nods, making sense of the information. "I hope you don't mind."
"I like the bedsheets." They have rockets and asteroids and planets, and Ange runs star fingers on them curiously. "It's okay, I don't mind."
"Won't you tell me what is Nii-san… not doing, to you?" That is the right question.
If he's not being actively cruel, but he isn't being affectionate, is he?
"How much of it, is he not being affectionate to you?" Why did sta look like sta never came to the surface? Why was sta so tired just from walking a bit? Why did sta cry so much earlier?
He sits by the bed, holds star hands and wait.
It takes a while. "You are not going to tell him, right? He would just be upset." It's not that Angelu doesn't want to call for help, as every cell of stars do, but if sta put it in words, sta will have to spend the rest of star life there, with him being upset at star for not being good enough.
Sta still has nowhere else to go.
"Nii-san has to stop what is making you cry, Angelu-san. But if you are scared, maybe you shouldn't go back to him yet?" There's no traces of wounds or anything. That is a relief.
"But, what if he gets upset?"
"Then he will have to get upset with me. Not you, Angelu-san. You are not going back to him until we sort it out." He phrases it better this time.
Angelu raises star eyes, like sta wishes to believe in him. How does he push it further?
"Ortho-san… Do, does Idia-san, really, truly like me?"
"I was told he did, but seeing how you are doing, I have been concluding he doesn't like you as a person, Angelu-san." Star lips are pressed together, a tear drops.
"I… I didn't push. I tried to act as expected, as the label requests. But…" Sta frowns, like a difficult math question. "He always seemed flustered when I offered. I didn't anymore so to give him space. I just am not sure what is so different from a roommate."
Star fingers tighten.
"I thought… He clearly doesn't need anything from me. But he doesn't want to divorce? I don't understand well. What I am supposed to do, and stuff. Even this…" Star eyes are drawn to star own tummy.
Ortho could feel his blood freeze if he had any.
Idia was simply treating Angelu like he did Ortho in the start. Before he had a soul, before it was wrong. Ortho, whose place was with Idia, who did not have feelings to be hurt, who was also just trying to do a good job.
But at least, Ortho knew more than anything that he is loved. Even if not for himself, back then.
Angelu doesn't.
Of course, if that's how it is, Idia wouldn't let star go. Wouldn't let sta cheat on him. Idia, would he even know how to love any differently than this?
But at least Idia patted his head.
Kissed him goodnight.
Doesn't he know that Angelu as a human being, a living person, needs that too?
Wait, roommate?
"Does he not touch you? Kissing or sexual intercourse?" His eyes widen. Idia, you don't impregnate your wedded partner before everything!?
Angelu slowly shakes star head shamefully.
"Hugs?!" The same happens. "Does he at least hold your hand?!"
"He says it's too lewd." Oh so now he has time to be a perverted otaku. Ortho promises himself to give a good scolding. "I know everyone is different, but it would be more bearable if I could walk outside… I wouldn't bother him as much."
Ortho might be a humanoid, but he— he would do a better husband. He is sure of it.
Sta shouldn't have to keep away from Idia's path as much as possible, like he doesn't want star there to start with. Everyone needs someone who wants them there, and— He could do this, right?
Angelu Shroud belongs to the Shrouds now. Ortho Shroud naturally gets to fix the mess his brother had done.
"You must be lonely, isn't that right?" He reaches out to star cheek, the other hand holding stars comfortingly. "Nii-san isn't doing a good job out of this role. He promised to take responsibility for you, but instead, he's leaving you all alone. Even Nii-san had me when all alone."
Angelu still thinks it's pure comfort. Sta melts on his touch, closing star eyes hard like focused on feeding on the affection.
"I feel bad for deceiving him… I should have known I couldn't take this." One eye half opens. "I think he meant well. It's just me."
"Angelu-san, hey, you don't need to take responsibility away from him. Nii-san can take it." He pulls star close, guiding star to hold onto him. "You don't need to lie anymore. You won't be left all alone anymore, I promise."
He would fix it by the end of the holidays.
Ortho snuggles, pulling star down with him, the scent of child still impregnating the sheets years later. Sta cries at first, quiet sobs held back, soaking on his affection. Then, dazed on his head caresses, sta dozes off, only awake enough to feel loved.
Ortho warns his parents about what happened through an hologram, his body still warming Angelu's heart up, warns of his plan. Mama Shroud is jarred to say the least, that she didn't realize what was happening, or even not happening. Maybe too much work can affect how family interactions go… Even his father was affectionate enough! Idia had to watch them being more loveydovey and emulate it accordingly, honestly!
Papa Shroud is just plainly disappointed. He should have raised Idia more often, maybe, to deal with people. They thought the interest in Angelu as a wife partner would have fixed it. That going to school helped. It didn't. And they were going to lose the sweetest child in law and their grandchild to their miserable son!
"But, wait, mom, dad! Does Angelu Andersen-san's wedding certificate announces exactly which Shroud was taken as a husband?" His voice betrays his plan, his parents know him better than to take the sly tone as innocence.
"You are right! Oru-kun, until your big brother learns to have a wife, would you like to keep Acchan?" Mama Shroud squeals delighted. It's the perfect arrangement! They don't lose their little starlight, and Idia doesn't hurt star anymore through sheer neglect.
"How will you do it and school at the same time, Ortho-kun?" His father can't help but remind him though. It was something that Ortho yearned a lot, to make friends and study and be a real normal student. A boy like any other doesn't have wedded partners at school yet.
Ortho hesitates. "Can I take star back to Night Raven College? I am a housewarden, so it will be spaceous enough, and there's more gardens to take star there."
"Does Acchan like gardens?" Papa Shroud can't help but smile. "Maybe we should direct some more gardens to be built on Island of Woe for you two then."
That was a yes. Ortho could have pumped his fists up. Instead, he sees his parents change guardianship of Idia's star wife to himself. He can see immediately the notification, Idia sending messages, asking what happened.
But Ortho leaves it to his parents. The scolding, the teaching, everything.
His hands snake inside star clothes, over star back and sides, hearing Angelu's sleepy breathing changes to pleased whines. Slowly adjusting so his face can meet stars up close as sta languidly comes back from unawareness.
Even this much, no wonder his brother called star cute several times. Too bad he didn't have the guts to conquer star heart even after married.
Star dazed brain doesn't think much of him nuzzling star nose with his face plate on. So deeply pliant, so needy of attention and love. He is careful not to tickle, but Ortho almost does, as sta squeaks and star breath hitches.
"Sh, O-Ortho, it feels weird if you touch like that—" Especially his face so up close. He presses his body closer, his eyes crinkling.
"It does?" His untouched partner, kept cold by his brother but no more. Their wedding night should be consummated. "Well, it doesn't feel bad, right? Doesn't hurt."
"Hm, no, but feels funny…" Star brain only caught up enough to blush about it, so adorably his caresses come back.
"I make you feel all funny?" He chuckles, as star hands start to push him away.
"M-maybe not this way, no touch this way? I— it feels cheat-y-like vibe?" Angelu frowns anxious, not wanting to outright accuse him, risking hearing a "well, I don't mean it like that" but star brain awakes and the innocent comfort of a small brother in law seems to have left. "N-no, it's like, overwhelming. I know you d-don't mean to make it weird—"
"I do."
"… U-uh?" His hands grip star sides, before sta even processes sta must leave.
"You are a Shroud wedded partner now. You are not married to a single person, but into the family. Changing who is married to you, that's easy with administration permission." Ortho nuzzles star affectionate, as Angelu's eyes widen. "If Nii-san isn't ready for all of a Shroud marriage responsibilities, if it's too much on his plate, it's the responsibility of a younger brother to help, right?"
"… When did you?" Star fingers tremble against his chest, and he coos delighted.
"Right here, cuddling with you. Angelu Shroud-san, shall we consummate our wedding night?"
Sta blushes so pretty, he regrets not chasing after star first. "But, you don't have—" Sta stops starself. "… How?"
"Don't I already make you feel good?" His fingers trail through star sides, enjoying how sensitive sta is there. "I don't need a vulva or a penis to make you feel good."
Sta squirms awkwardly. He smiles under the mouth plate, guessing sta was confused about the expression he used, before taking off the plate and showing the sharpness blades he called teeth, widening when sta stiffens.
"Does my mouth excite you, Angelu-san?" Star body rises in temperature, enough to signal a yes. But he wants to hear it from star.
"W-wait, b-but it would be unfair if only I am…" Sta trails off, but he can guess by how deeply flustered sta is staring at him. "And, what about Idia-san?"
"Nii-san?" He tilts his head. "Well, Nii-san does like you very much. But he knows that if he touches you once, he will never let go of you." Ortho understands now why, although he doesn't respect Idia's fear.
Angelu squints, and Ortho comes closer, feeling star breath hit his lips. His is non-existent, so he can't do the same. He hopes star doesn't mind that.
"I know because that's how I feel right now." Star cheeks are so soft and stained pink. "If you really love Nii-san, I will let you go back to him." He bluffs.
He loves Idia, yes. But maybe because he is now Idia's real brother, and not just a stand-in for a dead one, he can't help but yearn for his big brother's favorite toys as a younger brother. A big brother's toys are always cooler and shiner, and less tended to.
If he really wanted star so bad, he should have kept a closer eye and hands on star.
But Idia didn't have to worry. Ortho knew how to share, when his big brother got ready to.
And what choice Angelu had anyway? He can't even keep himself from smiling wide.
"What do you even gain from that? I can't possibly give back." Star voice is thin, worried.
"You. I want you." To love him. To be his. To smile brightly, and have no more reasons to cry again as if falling apart due to a fool of a brother, who even after marriage, feared losing so much that Angelu couldn't be anyone's, much less his own.
Sta looks up at him, still not comprehending. That's okay. He would be patient with star heart.
"I will take you to the garden." Light seems to find star gaze, alongside curiosity. "To many. Whenever you want."
He wouldn't lock star up.
Squeaks and breath hitching echoes when his hands pull star tunic up enough to slide up inside. "I will carry you there once my babies grow big enough. It's important for you to see plants occasionally to keep depression at bay."
Mantainance of his sweet new partner. His eyes give off a soft click, recording and streaming directly to Idia's computer, showing what he's missing.
Far away, Idia's red hair takes a pink tint once he realizes what his little brother's betrayal ensured. Behind him, a messy bedroom without a single trace of his ex trophy wife. He can't even break star things. He could hack and delete star writing from the internet, and yet he's interrupted by the feed of what his youngest brother is doing.
"So, do you want to go back to Nii-san?" Idia's eyes widen, as sta looks away. "Mom and dad won't be angry at you." Sta bites star bottom lip almost bloody.
"Will it really be different? Really?" Sta stares up, like trying to hope, but fear holds star back. "I am not going to be shelved again?"
"Shelved?"
"Like a doll that will break if played with…" Anger and bitterness seeps out. Both Shrouds finds themselves speechless. "It's not that I require constant interaction… Or am trying to drop the moment it gets difficult."
Sta presses star lips together.
"But if you just leave me on a shelf all the time, it feels meaningless… to keep me, and stuff." Star eyebrows join together, frustration oozing. "Can it be different? From that? Really?"
Ortho shouldn't find it endearing to hear star say he could keep star.
"Angelu-san." His voice comes out thickly glitchy. "I'm not giving you back. Do you understand?" He kneels star crotch, enjoying how startled sta is.
Idia just feels cold. This is real life netorare. He loves his brother, he can forgive his brother. It's the realization that Angelu is a person with star own feelings about how clumsy he was.
His words were not just thrown to stop star from complaining about him, to not face his mistakes. It hit a real heart.
Ortho cannot keep himself any longer from kissing star lips, his eyes wide open to watch star eyelids fall close from the proximity, the way they tensed and fluttered, mouth coated sweetly from the sweets earlier.
Star hands reach for his chest, desperate for just for some grounding, or maybe forgetting sta meant to push him away.
It's easy to forget, when he tastes star lips ravenously, yet feeding star heart with pure affection.
Angelu is wanted. He pinches and gropes star sides and stomach, star body a musical instrument to play love in, and as much as sta moves star body to escape, there's no way to struggle away from the ministrations.
Not when it blanks star brain from any real thought.
The way star thighs extend and tense back down, Ortho's hands lower to grip underneath them strongly, opening the way between to fit his body deeper. Sta can feel how hard his fingers feel, no phalanges underneath the soft leather skin but hard metal.
Yet, sta doesn't remember ever being held this way by a human with calcium based skeleton. Even if sta did, there's no real loss, because no human could grope so hard, sta can't stop moaning in pain against his lips.
Star labia parts between his thighs, dragging star small manmade cock against the slick left by the overstimulated slit. Pain mixes with pleasure, and star back arches disoriented between searching for his touch and running away.
Ortho doesn't stop. Angelu can't quite tell if sta wouldn't cry if he did, but sta already tears up even without him stopping, as they roll down whenever sta lightly open star eyes dazedly.
Soft flesh is squeezed and pinched mercilessly, star cocklet red and hard despite flopping with every rutting. Every touch drips in desire and rough need until star underwear cannot quite bear the strain, but even so, star starving heart soaks up on the affection and attention.
The machine in him cannot understand fully the feelings his heart comes up with, despite the soul generally working as a processing program for those.
When sta hugs him closer, pulls him closer though, sta feels good between his arms. Bringing Angelu to orgasm after orgasm, having star embrace and accept all his messy feelings, it leaves him elated.
It felt bad to starve, didn't it? To be all alone, needy of hugs and kisses.
Don't worry.
Ortho will fill Angelu with all the love sta could ever dream of.
Overwrite all the sadness, all the loneliness, cradle star body and pepper star lips and cheeks and nose with sweet kisses.
He can't help but smile ecstatic at how sta lays twitching in pleasure even after he calms down. His fingers have an easy time sweeping star seed in between before giving attention to star neglected, large strawberry sized dick.
Idia, who did not look at it before for privacy reasons, cannot stop staring.
"O-Ortho—" He pumps it up, milking it with ability while Angelu trembles restlessly. Star brain is reduced to mush as sta holds onto him before sta gets swept away.
It hurts, it feels weird, it feels so good that it goes back to hurting. He bends star bottom forward, star knees meeting above star shoulders, and Angelu whines reaching out without thinking before Ortho smiles dangerously.
Sta still has the presence of mind to shudder in antecipation about his sharp teeth before he sinks his face between star folds, the milking hand relentless.
Angelu cannot even arc back, a keen sound escaping as Ortho's tongue easily plunges in with how wet he had made star to be. Star feet curls and flexes foolishly wanting to escape the deep stimulation.
And the best part is that this position let him see all of star debauched expressions, eyes rolling back, panting pathetically, tired frustration, the embarrassment of moaning.
And star lips parting to voicelessly call Ortho's name.
Sta gushes on his face, unbearably, and star juice is so bittersweet it goes right back to sweetness. This is a taste that maybe a human would better appreciate.
But well, it has become Ortho's favorite flavor regardless.
A delicacy that squirts for every pumping. He laps it all up as it moisten itself again and again, a never ending fountain, like a dream of chocolate fountain for children, yet a very adult-like flavor.
Hands and toes flexes and closes, trying to bear the wave of merciless tongue thrusting itself in so deep, while star cocklet drums like a heart for every move of Ortho's fingers and palm.
Every time Angelu decides sta is too tired to continue, star body loves it and needs it more. It traitorously love more and more. Star tongue cannot focus on words, and star hands reach for Ortho's hair, pressing him deeper instead of pushing away. Silly.
A cocktail of lust and love, star heart eats and eats defenseless to bursting.
Idia sits there, cock hard yet untouched. He clearly lost.
If only he didn't love, it wouldn't hurt so bad the way he, only he failed star. Ortho was doing the right thing, taking star away.
Still.
Angelu's scrunched expression of pleasure is so adorable, Idia regrets never trying. Never seeing it up close. Never being the cause of it.
He knew sta was cute and yet he never knew how cute sta could be.
His face is so close to the screen, forgetful of all lessons to keep away from the monitor.
Sta doesn't remember words, deep within the throes of strong pleasure. If sta did, sta would be able to understand what Ortho's voice boxes can't stop praising star.
But that's okay.
Because sta can hear the affection rising and rising as Ortho learns more reasons to love star, in each and every word, and sta grows more flushed in love overdose.
His pretty handout partner.
He doesn't stop.
Sta blacks out in exhaustion, and even so, he cannot stop.
In Ortho's defense, he tries.
He unglues his tongue from deep within star walls, admiring the reddened pretty thing still panting while unconscious, and unbends star in order to change gears and come back to help star sleep better with his sleeping gear.
He even turns off the feed. Idia is left far away to content himself with the vision of what he could have seen had he put his sweaty hands on star once.
And yet, when he comes back and presses their bodies flush, sta sighs welcoming and clings to him.
And Ortho finds himself kissing star neck bloody.
Marking it his, wrecking star further, yet releasing sleep pheromones, keeping star dreams pleasant and undisturbed even though he cannot stop.
That's his cute partner, yearning for his touch, so lonely for so long.
Sta still have places he did not touch yet. Sta still have places unclaimed, neglected, needy.
Ortho never had a doll, neither iteration did. He played with video games, rockets, Idia liked anime figures way more. Maybe that's why Idia liked Ortho, and Angelu. This Ortho was always the doll to be loved upon, and now that Angelu had called starself an unplayed shelved doll, he couldn't help but realize all the ways he could play with star.
All the time, in all of star places.
The sweetest bud, he massages it softly even while Ortho bullies the fat bands open. Pumping sleep into star lungs, keeping star relaxed, the slick that dripped down makes it easy. He can feel the little wrinkles, and thanks past Idia for giving him accurate tactile responses as he circles the rim around, slowly opening the way in.
Angelu wiggles and blinks the hole in answer, leading him to press harder in order to avoid tickling. Sta frowns, as if he's leading star to evacuate, but nothing comes out anyway.
He leaves star neck, his hands rising star tunic higher until star chest is out. Original Ortho got to taste their mom's when he was younger. This Ortho never had the chance to.
Star chest is not too big, just a tad heavy, nipples not that dark. For a moment, he calculates how to suck on them, then opens his mouth and slowly sucks it inside like a flexible balloon, fleshy and sensitive.
He wonders how the baby will feel, taking away his future food and teaching, shaping star body to feel pleasure from star butt during star sleep. Not that he would ever tell it. He knows that it feels peaceful, his mouth mouthing star nubs and pressing the fat between his tongue and mouth ceiling, as star expression strains while he opens and massages deeper in.
The walls flutter, wiggle, does it feel ticklish? Itchy? He slips two fingers, regretting not being able to look at it from there too, and hears a groan. It blinks around him, a hard time comprehending the invasion.
But that's okay, Ortho coos with a full mouth, leaving bite marks that makes star whine. He will train star ass to like everything he does. Knead it, finger it open and rim it.
His eyes close halfway, finding himself in peace and happiness.
His heart feels full. He knows he can make Angelu forget the past year, and all years before in star life, and be happy by loving him.
He slips a third, and a fourth finger in, not because he will penetrate with something bigger soon, but solely to hear star sleepy noises. Softening it up for his tongue in the future.
Not today.
Ortho doesn't want to let go of star plushy body for tonight. Not when star grip on him is still so tight.
Ah…
Ortho is in love already. He lets his hair stain pink, and let his mouth keep on the motions of sucking star nipples out, the poor things.
Angelu wakes up unusually sore considering the deeply restful sleep.
Sta almost sits up in shock about the memories of the previous day, but something really heavy keeps star down.
Star chest is out, and star brother in law sucks it like a baby, white dribbling like he guided it to lactate.
Like he sucked it so much, for so long, star body started the production.
Speechless, sta watches his eyes in a sly half moon shape, reminded that he isn't star brother in law anymore.
Ortho is star husband now.
A totally different at his mercy, as he lets go of star sore and marked chest and rises upon star form, star hands following him on his shoulders.
"Good morning, Angelu-san." He smiles so happily, so sharp, before meeting star lips with his milky ones, the sweetest kiss sta had ever been given.
Despite knowing better, sta melts.
