An Old Fashioned Skinny-Dip[Bre!]

[jack]

It had been a long time since he'd felt this good, R'ish mused thoughtfully as he leaned further into the water, feeling Gyth shift behind him. Breathing heavily, with a bit of a flush on his cheeks, the creamy-blond haired man looked as though he'd been up to no good, but the sparkle in his dragon's eyes bespelled that idea. Nope! For once, the well-known bed-drawn Pinkrider had been engaging in a good-ole romp with his dragon, and not a romp in the furs.

"I can't believe you actually caught one of those things." R'ish laughed, glancing to the decapitated corpse in his partner's claws, "Not that I'm displeased. If you hadn't, it would've probably eaten me!"
Gyth giggled, in her cheerful little way, and licked at the large fish's form, her eyes whirling with mirth.
Well I couldn't let it do that, Mine! It was quick though. I was just quicker!

R'ish laughed and reached up, stroking the dragoness's muzzle. She closed her eyes happily and leaned into the touch, her paws flexing into the wher-sized fish's body in cat-like joy. "Thanks, Gyth. You're such a gem."
The dragon laughed happily and took a big bite of the fish; the gruesome scene enough to cause a bystander to wince and scurry off while R'ish smiled, ignoring the stray bit of bloody-fish that flew to attach itself to his cheek. As she continued to lazily pick at her snack he stretched out a bit more, reclining half in the water and half out. It was a fabulous day. An absolutely fabulous day.

Dirt road in his old truck,
Lined with honeysuckles,
Down that old beach bend.

Gyth, may I have some? Annith winged over and landed a respectful distance away from the pink and her catch, on the shore. Her long body flexed in an elegant stretch, her wings held out high and wide of her body. They reflected a dappled pattern across the sandy ground, turning it a mottled yellow. Her light yellow hide rippled in good health; she thrummed happily, a welcoming noise that had nothing to do with any hatching. She was just happy.

Across the bowl, her grinning rider came running. As of late, he'd been as cheerful as his dragon, and as promiscuous as ever. Though he hadn't played with any of his usual favorites as of late, that mainly meant R'ish, he'd kept himself occupied. It was him. Not much else could be expected of him. Uncle or not, drama or not, sleeping with people was what he did. He celebrated everything. "Hey R'ish;" he called as he came loping over, pulling his shirt off and abandoning his boots as he made his way for the water. Pants seemed like more than enough clothing for that moment.

"Jays, I didn't know there was anything like that in all of Pern! The Western Continent is so cool; he crowed, gaping at the huge fish Gyth had caught. He grinned from ear to ear, slightly lopsided in position and thoroughly with his boyish, exuberant, falsely confident charm. He splashed in the shallows of the lake, slowing to approach R'ish at an easy sashay, mimicking the pinkrider's classic move. It was most definitely a fabulous day.

Saw the water through the trees,
And the way he looked at me,
With that sly southern grin.

[jack]

Excited eyes looked up with mirth, the dark pink creature's tail flicking in dog-like joy as she lifted her head, sending a trill of greeting. Of course, Annith! She chirped, wriggling with excitement at the thought of sharing her catch--no one would believe her of its massiveness if no one else saw!

Merrily, she rose from the water, moving a bit closer to shore to make it easier to share the oversized fish. R'ish was forced to relocate, giving a soft yelp of surprise as the sudden move caused a wave of water to bowl him over. Straighting with the grin of a truly impossible-to-embarass youth, he resituated himseld next to his dragon's dark hide, slapping the water beside him. It had been forever since he had seen his official partner-in-crime; far longer than the cream-haired boy could handle.
Sure, he slept around as well, but while he craved sexual interaction nearly as much--if not as much--as P'nay, he had much more of a tendency to stick to his favorite. And even he would admit he'd grown unnaturally attached to his best friend with benefits.

"I didn't know either!" He chirped happily, watching the other's mimicked sashay with a smug little smirk, "But I can't say I share the same enthusiasm for it--it tried to eat me, you know!" Gyth's grip on the fish tightened and she looked back at Hers, smiling a dragon-smile. "Thankfully that beautiful streak of pink saved me." He added with a wink, the dragoness shaking her body with pride before going back to her snack.

Laughing, R'ish shifted again, sliding over to P'nay without even waiting for him to sit down. "So where have you been, love?" He slid his arms around the other's neck tangling one hand in his hair thoughtfully before straightening it out as well, grinning a lop-sided grin. "Wait, don't answer that. I've heard from a thousand dazed individuals what was lurking in their furs. I must say--I'm insulted that you didn't want to roll in mine first."

[Admin]

So weak I can hardly keep,
Shaky legs holding up my feet
But your body language is telling me,
That I'm not to blame.

Thank you! How generous. She was so polite and mannerly, despite having no disgust for the gory sight of the slaughtered fish she wished to eat. She was a dragon. She couldn't be blamed. Annith slipped into the water and took a hearty bite of the fish. It is good that you didn't let this eat Yours. That would have been bad. Mine would have been sad; she told Gyth as she ate at the fish, claws on one foot gripping it to keep it steady. Her voice was cheerful, sunny, bright, hopeful, wondrous. It hadn't happen, so there was no need to be worried. Her rider was happy and healthy. All was good.

P'nay never learned. He still had no clue about anything except how to get into someone's pants. He grinned as R'ish closed the distance between them. It sent a shiver up his spine to have the beautifully odd man in front of him twine his arms around his neck, the momentary touch on his hair making his heart happy. He paused, barely caring about what his lover said. Then his head snaked forward and he caught the pinkrider's lip in a quick, passionate kiss. He pulled away after a moment, his own arms twining around R'ish's back, embracing him and holding him close. Their fight had been awful. It would be nice to pick up again.

"I don't believe Dalibor has a thousand people;" he said, jokingly accusing. R'ish and him were special, but they were far from monogamous. He felt no qualms about admitting that he'd been up to no good. "Oh, shoot, there was that one guy from Crescent, and those girls from Western. That widens the possibilities a bit. Oops;" he joked. It was mostly a joke. There had only been one girl from Crescent. One. Don't judge. There weren't enough girls at Dalibor who'd sleep with him anymore, and he, amazingly enough, did like people other than boys. Though he did like R'ish more than most. He smiled winningly at the pinkrider.

Practice makes perfect,
Practice makes perfect sense,
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son,
And I have done a few things I regret.

[jack]

Gyth's eyes whirled happily in response, cheerfully moving to chew on the meal as well. But as his dragon lapsed into silence, R'ish found himself silenced as well.

He leaned eagerly into the kiss, deepening and lengthening it perhaps a bit longer than P'nay had intended, only to withdraw with a hungry lick of his lips. He'd missed this. He'd really really missed this. This feeling of perfection as that gorgeous man kissed him...to feel those hands on the small of his back...and the scorch of those beautiful eyes as they sought out every inch of him. The man gave a soft shudder, grinning, and looked the man up and down himself, more interested in re-memorizing every inch of his blond than listening to whatever nonsense came out of his mouth.

But nothing lasted forever, and his mind-daze lifted quickly enough...just in time to here the man's list of things he'd had runs with. R'ish was oddly still, a slightly displeased look on his face, and a clean brow arched notably on his face. "Uh-huh." He said quietly, glancing to the side with a subtle frown. "So...you've been....getting around quite a bit then." He moved to slide from the man's arms, doing so after a moment of hesitation. "And...all of this without even saying hello."

He stalked a bit to the side, his pants low on his hips and water-glued to his legs, and crossed his arms across his chest insecurely, staring off into the distance. "I suppose...its a good thing...to know that you care so little."

Gyth lifted her head, staring with an unusual amount of amusement at her "saddened" mine.

R'ish's arms fell limp at his side and he stared with dead eyes at the ground, looking as though his entire body had lost its life. But without warning his hands curled into fists, and he whirled around, taking up the distance between the two in a stride and yanking the blond down to his level, latching onto the junction between the man's neck and shoulder like a starved man. He gnawed and sucked at the spot for a good while, relinquishing his hold only when he was certain a large mark would remain. Grinning ear to ear, he leaned in close, lips ghosting over P'nay's ear.

"You shardin' owe me, blondie."

[Admin]

We took off our clothes,
Threw 'em in the bushes,
Mud between our toes,
Bare white tushes.

The smile he wore grew tense as R'ish drew away. P'nay stared pathetically, as sad as the pinkrider, like a kicked puppy at seeing the other man so down from what he'd done. His mind scrambled for words, but nothing came on how to apologize. Had he really made that much of a mistake? He hadn't meant anything by it! He'd been joking! Things began to spiral down. He liked R'ish! He hadn't meant to hurt him! Wait, though, R'ish hadn't been chaste either!

Surprise shivered through his body as, suddenly, there was R'ish again! Attached to his neck like a very nice leech! He held, obediently, very still, half closing his eyes to enjoy the moment. The giggles didn't come until he felt R'ish's lips touch lightly against his ear and heard his vehement whisper. He ducked free, causing a ripple as he wiggled away, chuckling like the slightly craze individual he was. "I don't owe you anything, my lovely!"

Then P'nay had no pants. Or any underwear. For anyone who missed that those were the only clothes he had on before, that meant he was naked. He swam on his back, deeper into the water, away from R'ish. A tempting, devilish grin lay upon his face. "It is your greatest pleasure to know my company;" he drawled, voice joking but more husky than light. Oh, he'd most definitely missed R'ish! Of course, the getting naked in public was just him.

Mine, think of the children; Annith yelled at him in protest, very alarmed that she hadn't been paying enough attention to stop him from being particularly silly. She abandoned the fish she'd been sharing with Gyth, flapping her wet wings in a show of anxiousness and agitation. She shifted her weight about in the shallow water, not sure of what to do with him now that he was already naked without physically removing him, which might hurt or upset him.

"There aren't any children around, Anni, love. It'll be fine;" he reassured her, still swimming backgrounds lazily. He didn't move gracefully. He had no elegance. However, he was fit, and he was handsome. Both of those facts he knew. His low self esteem issues did not extend to his body. He flaunted it, though, for his dragon's sake, he kept only the upper part of his chest out of the water, though he still saw no issue with nakedness. It was a common state for him.

Lord, how'd he get me to do it,
How'd he talk me into it, now,
Sunlight on the river, glistenin',
And we were skinny dippin'.

[jack]

R'ish grinned as the other pulled away, watching with rapt attention as the man's pants disappeared in an all-too-practiced movement. The young man snickered, licking his lips, but stood firm at the second comment, a brow arched and his hands on his hips. "A bit conceited, aren't we, good sir?" He barked, his voice annoyed, but his expression smugly pleased. Of course P'nay was conceited...if falsely so. It was one of the things that made the blond how he was. One of the things that R'ish...loved...?

The cream-haired beauty cut that thought off well before it finished, the flare of emotions more than he was willing to deal with. Gyth, however, stared at him, her eyes whirling minutely displeased as she glanced from R'ish, to P'nay, to R'ish, and then almost desperately to Annith. But she too was unwilling to deal with such thoughts, and brushed them off with a shake of her delicate neck and a less-than-delicate bite of her fish.

R'ish flashed a somewhat hollow smile at his dragon, but turned to P'nay and laughed, diving in after the man. He actually kept his pants on--for a bit at least--but was happy to say he was a much more smooth swimmer than the blond, and quickly caught up. Licking his lips hungrily, he wrapped his arms around the other's waist, purposefully sliding a leg between the other man's as he pulled him forwards into a kiss. "I've missed you." He mumbled into the other's neck as he again sought to attack it, "You're not allowed to leave anymore." He finished his words with a nip at the man's jawline, immediately pulling him into another--desperate--kiss.

Do not worry, Annith. Gyth rumbled, giving a draconic smile, We can keep the children away. Let them have their fun--they need a break, yes? Laughing she took another bite of her fish, her tail stretching out to make sure that neither man drifted too far out of bottom-reach, as it was fairly obvious they weren't paying...a lot of attention to the lake.

R'ish withdrew from the kiss slowly, smiling happily, "Do you know how horny I've been without you in my furs?"

[Admin]

Told you I'll be here forever,
Said I'll always be your friend,
Took an oath,
I'mma stick it out 'till the end.

He was the lovely and the loveless. He made no attempt to claim he wasn't conceited in the way he acted. He just kept on grinning, and left it at that. No protest came from P'nay, more than a bit more giggling, when R'ish caught him. His grin, showing a great deal of teeth in a way that was hardly predatory except for the sensual nature, grew as they became entangled in a very intimate way. He kissed him back with the first kiss, then snuggled, turning his head and neck, as R'ish nibbled. He made slight noises of agreement in response to what he said. He mainly focused on the kissing, sensibility fleeing him. All that mattered was their bodies in contact and the feeling of the pinkrider's lips pressed on his.

I suppose they do; Annith agreed, settling back down. She paddled about, and waded through the shallows, to slip around to being across from Gyth on the other side of their riders. She floated there, body curved, forming a vague barrier that connection up to Gyth's tail with a few feet of space. She enjoyed the feeling of the water, relaxing, but protected her rider diligently, keeping him safe while he had the play that he needed. She was a good dragon, attentive, and kept her rider out of trouble. No warping any of the new babies from the renegade orange more than they might be!

P'nay took in happy big breath of air as R'ish ended the kiss, grinning at the question that the other rider posed. "I think I might be able to start guessing about now;" he answered to start, dragging out the words and trailing off tantalizingly. He did have a way with playing the tempter, all experience and little else. Bugging R'ish sure was so much fun too! "I'm sure I can help you out with that whenever we get back to those furs of yours;" he said, as if making a wonderfully kind offer. He twisted himself free of R'ish again, switching the way that were entangled with each other. He wrapped his arms around the pinkrider's shoulders, floating out behind him, resting his head on one of his arms.

Now that it's raining more than ever,
Told you we'll still have each other,
You can stand under my umbrella,
You can stand under my umbrella.

[jack]

R'ish chuckled, his hands wandering lazily down the man's sides, his eyes never leaving P'nay's even as he hooked his fingers into the blond's pantline, yanking his hips forwards insistently. "That sounded like an offer to me." He crooned, low and husky, "S'that mean I get to..." He leaned forwards, moving to kiss his playtoy before teasingly avoiding the kiss, nipping at the man's bottom lip playfully, "Take you up on it?"

He slipped a leg between the other man's lazily, pulling the other towards him and a bit more to the shoreline as he dove in for a kiss, his hands running hungrily up P'nay's chest before wandering back down, gripping his hips firmly. While usually not the instigator of anything--R'ish was a rather lazy fellow, and while he loved a good romp more than most, he preferred to take more than he gave--the cream-haired youth seemed insistent about this today, as he pulled them both a bit more out of the water, breaking the kiss only for a gulp of air before diving back again.

But after a moment, he broke away for good, burying his face beneath the blond's chin to nip at his throat with tantalizing desperation. "I take back my question." He rumbled, running his hands up the man's chest again, only to run them down P'nay's arms, grabbing his hands and intertwining their fingers, "I want to go to the weyr...now."

[Admin]

Then you stumbled around for a good ten minutes,
And I said I'd never seen anyone look so dumb before,
And you laughed and said I still know how to turn you on though.

P'nay was an tiny bit distracted from what R'ish was saying. He mainly remembered the nip to his jaw, and then there was all the kissing that the pinkrider started and he diligently followed. Skin against skin, the feeling of fingers running all over his body. He remembered pink and yellow skies, forgetting that was just Annith and Gyth, and the cool touch of cold water. That moment was a memory, digging fervently into his mind and warping all else away.

The yellowrider gripped back at the hands that intertwined with his fingers. "That's probably best. I don't remember the question;" he said, laughing into the nips along his neck. He liked R'ish being all demanding. It was cute, because he'd never found the pinkrider at all intimidating. R'ish was beautiful and special and stuff like that."And didn't your mother ever teach you some patience? Well, I suppose, she probably also told you not to be doing this, maybe, so, you know what, forget it!"

Of course, going back to one of their weyrs involved untangling himself from R'ish, and finding his pants. There was no way that Annith would let him walk around without any pants. He located them, floating about, and pulled them, awkwardly, since they no longer fit very well waterlogged and wrinkled. Then he had R'ish by the hand again. "Your place? Gyth can take us;" he suggested helpfully, with a big grin and a kiss.

See you're not what I expected,
But you're the only one who knows how to handle me,
And you're such a great kisser and I know that you agree.

[jack]

"Mm.." R'ish grinned, happily finishing P'nay's kiss and adding in another of his own, "I suppose that would..." He broke off, staring at the sudden addition of pants with disdain, "I suppose we could manage that."

The cream-haired boy rose immediately from his feet, scurrying out of the water to run a hand through his messy hair. Grinning his lazy little grin, he gave P'nay a good lookover, before glancing to Gyth. The graceful Pink giggled and rose to her feet, giving Annith a silent wink before slinking out of the water and kneeling on the sand. R'ish easily scurried up her back, stroking the thick hide, and looked down at P'nay, licking his lips.

"Well hurry up." He chortled, eyes flashing hungrily, "You may be gorgeous, but I'm not willing to just look at you all day. Get your tail up here, y' wherry-brain."

ooc: I think we can agree they'll be in R'ish's weyr after this. Shall we close it?

[Admin]

You never know what you want,
And you never say what you mean,
But I start to go insane,
Every time that you look at me.

P'nay slogged after R'ish hurriedly. The water was so constricting and made him so slow! He, within a moment, became quite frustrated with that water stuff. He and his tail wanted to get to Gyth faster. "I'm coming, I'm coming;" he called to sooth the insistent R'ish. He frowned childishly in frustration as he tried to drag himself faster out onto the shore. He should have left the pants. They were heavy. They had seemed smart at some point.

Finally, he was free and he scrambled up onto Gyth. Feet and hands slick with water and unused to the specific dynamics of the pink, it took him a minute. However, then he settled behind R'ish, wrapping his arms around he middle of the other rider, grinning into his ears. "I am pretty nice to look at though, aren't I;" he commented into the pinkrider's ear with a grin once Gyth took off for her weyr. He felt very excited, eyes bright. He couldn't believe he hadn't met up with R'ish in so long! He liked R'ish a lot.

Be careful, Mine; Annith called to him, knowing he was hardly paying attention to her. She took off a few moments after watching the pink take off. She didn't follow them. She went back to her own weyr to patiently wait, and possibly sleep.

((That sounds right! Pick up with these two at some later point in their lives?))

Something about you is so addictive,
We're falling together,
You think that by now, I'd know,
Cause here we go, go.
