And the Light Shines -- Destiny AU

[hallarider]

[for pavus_redemit]



The Traveller was always meant to be a safe haven for what pieces of humanity still remained. Though their numbers had actually been increasing over the last several years, there was still darkness that needed to be kept at bay. There was still so much that needed to be reclaimed, so many enemies that continued to beat at the doors and threaten what remained. That was why the Guardians always fought so hard. Whether it was tactical strikes, routine patrols or special assignments, the Traveller was home to all sorts who stood for what was Good. The Guardians swore to protect their home at all costs, venturing planets over with their Ghosts lingering nearby, their direct connection back to the Traveller and to the Speaker.

Bramen was no exception. The Awoken Hunter was always eager to serve, ever since he recalled waking up to the Light. Though he tried to be cautious, a number of routine training exercises proved he was often a bit too over-enthusiastic, the poor man facing a number of embarrassing defeats in the Crucible tournaments. Good thing that something like that could be overlooked, particularly for someone so dedicated to aiding the vanguard. There were plenty of others like Bramen - but there was one person in particular that he found himself more than willing to fight alongside. One person could get him to go right into the bowels of Venus and straight into enemy fire on Mars. There was always one man he could trust to watch his back, one Warlock who just needed to look his way and the Hunter would be ready to go at a moment's notice.

That particular Warlock could often be found down in the tavern beneath the hangar, out near where Dead Orbit would congregate. The Awoken of that faction would often glance every time Bramen walked back, follow his movements - it was unnerving but they always kept a close eye on everyone who would come and go. He'd heard from a reliable source they were seeking out new talent. Bramen couldn't help but wonder if his Warlock friend knew about it.

Bramen made his way down to the tavern, taking the steps two at a time as he looked around the modestly crowded area, his bright yellow-green eyes glowing in the dimmer light. He caught sight of his friend, the man seated on a couch with a drink in hand, drinking and chatting with a very bulky Exo Titan - I-R0 N. Bull if Bramen recalled the man's name. One of the more acclaimed raiders that he knew of, a man who commanded his own unit of men and women, his own raid faction. It was an impressive sight to see when they all went off and recorded their run, bringing back what information the city needed. The Exo knew just about everyone in this city - it was no surprise he was friendly with Bramen's own companion.

"Dorian," the Awoken called out, raising his hand in greeting before moving closer to where the men sat, greeting them both, "I've been looking for you."

The Awoken appreciated the man's reassurances and that tongue that pressed into his mouth, eagerly returning the kiss as he proceeded to work at those fastenings of Dorian's Warlock robes again. He trusted his friend entirely right now, knowing the man wouldn't intentionally cause him any kind of discomfort. If he needed to stop, he just needed to say so - but he didn't feel that urge now. Not in the least.

He let go of the man's robes, bringing his hands up into Dorian's dark hair and smoothing through it. He breathed against his friend's face, capturing his lips again. It really wasn't very different from kissing another Awoken, taste and texture was purely Dorian, however. Purely Dorian and purely addicting.

Bramen's fingers moved through Dorian's hair, scratching at his scalp as he pushed the man towards his bed. "Warlock robes fasten in too many places," he murmured softly, turning his head to press his nose against his friend's cheek. "You should get the rest off for me... And then maybe I can look into getting off this Hunter gear."

[pavus_redemit]

"No patience," he said with a little laugh. He took one more kiss before he stepped away to deal with the claspse and hooks of his robe. "It has ceremonial purposes, you know. I could explain but I think I'm the only one who finds that sexy."

Dorian moved quickly, his fingers flying over the clapses. He shrugged out of the armor and tossed it towards a chair in the corner. He was very fit and marked with ancient Warlock symbols along his body.

"Please do, I want to see all of you. You're incredible dressed. I cannot wait to see you naked."

[hallarider]

Bramen let his eyes move over Dorian's form, licking his lips as he watched the man strip down. It was true though - hearing about the ceremonial purposes of the Warlock attire wasn't nearly as attractive as watching the man slip out of it. His body was well-toned, it had to be considering the line of work they were in as Guardians. He wanted to lay his hands against the man's body, run them across that darker skin, kiss across that smooth flesh. He refrained though, working instead on getting his own armour off, unfastening the breastplate he wore and untying the scarf at his neck.

"You could turn the light on, if you'd like," he said with a thin smile, focusing on getting the armour off first before he removed the cloth beneath it, though both layers were rather cumbersome. One that breastplate was off, he worked on removing his gloves and the braces on his arms and legs, merely tossing them to an out of the way spot he could retrieve later. It would be so much easier if his ghost could simply make it materialise off his body - but he didn't mind stripping down for Dorian.

"It might be easier to see me then, at least until more of my skin gets exposed."

[pavus_redemit]

"Lights, twenty percent please." Every light in his room suddenly turned on to a dim, white glow. They were still in shadow but he could see much better now. Dorian licked his lips. He couldn't wait to get his hands and his lips all over that skin.

"I think I see you quite well." Dorian trailed his hand down his chest to deal with his belt and open his fly to relieve some of the tightness in his pants. "I can't wait to see more of you."

[hallarider]

Bramen stopped in his actions for a moment, looking up to the lights as things brightened a little more. He looked back towards Dorian, brow creasing a little as he smiled to the man. He watched as he tugged at his own pants, the Awoken able to see the man's erection pressing against the material. He'd seen human anatomy before, seen it in medical studies, had a basic understanding of what it looked like, how it functioned. The function was the same as his own in the end, though humans tended to have far less stamina in terms of sexual acts.

The Hunter continued with his own attire, finishing with his armour and removing what material he could now - fabric wrapped around his arms and legs, over top his own fitted pants and sleeveless shirt that was tucked into them. With those layers of armour and bandages removed, he revealed himself as being very slender - perhaps moreso than Dorian anticipated. Slender, very lithe, though the lean muscle had quite a bit of definition to it. That sleeveless shirt was easily enough to slip off, tossed aside with the rest of his attire, the Awoken taking a step forward now.

From the upper body, his torso looked no different from a human's. Slender, maybe a bit more elongated but the structure was largely the same. Well, save for the fact he was, indeed, glowing.

"What do you think so far?"

[pavus_redemit]

Dorian licked his lips before answering, his eyes taking a long time to look over the long lean shape of Bramen.

"You have fantastic hips," he murmured with his voice full of appreciation. He reached out and trailed a hand over his chest. "And your skin is... well, hypnotic. I think I could watch it swirl all night. So slender... but you're so strong."

If Bramen was human Dorian would have dropped to his knees right there to show him how much he enjoyed looking at Bramen and how badly he wanted to touch him but he pulled him closer and kissed him deeply instead.

[hallarider]

Bramen breathed in and shivered again as Dorian touched him, looking down as he watched that hand trail down towards his stomach. He welcomed the feeling of those arms moving around him, of Dorian's lips pressing to his own one more. A content sound came from the Awoken's throat, Bramen's lips parting to let out a slow breath.

"You wanted to see the rest of me, didn't you?" he murmured, bringing his own hands to Dorian's sides, stroking along the smooth flesh. He let his hands move around to the man's back, rubbing at his skin and enjoying the sensation of it beneath his own. The man's own scent was quite appealing too, almost as addictive as the taste of that mouth.

"I'd like to see all of you first... Like I said, I've never been with a human."

[pavus_redemit]

"Yes," he breathed against his lips, gripping him tightly for a moment before he relaxed. "I want to see all of you."

Bramen was beautiful, stunning and Dorian was fascinated to get to see all of him and his pleasure.

"No problem. I enjoy being naked." He ran his hands down Bramen's back before he put some distance between them so he could sit on the edge of the bed.

His boots were just as difficult as his jacket but he got them off and then laid back to take his pants off. He was putting on a bit of a show but he was honest when he said he liked being naked and he loved being noticed.

[hallarider]

Bramen paused and stepped back, watching as Dorian undressed. The man undid his boots, removed his pants and revealed his body to the Hunter, Bramen felt a certain hunger growing in the pit of his stomach. Dorian was almost impossibly attractive, every part of his body best described as perfect. The Warlock took great care of his appearance, the part he showed the world and the part he kept private. Bramen felt incredibly lucky to be privy to this part of the man.

"You're incredible..." he murmured, looking over the man's form, across his backside and toned back, along his hips and those firm thighs. He bit his lower lip, looking at the man's erection, the way it stood and how plain his anatomy seemed. It was very nice of course but so different from Bramen's own. Different from the anatomy slides he'd studied as well.

"I don't think anything about me can compare to you right now."

[pavus_redemit]

"Mmm, I highly doubt that." He held out a hand to Bramen. "Come join me. You should explore."

Dorian didn't mind Bramen looking at him but he hoped he would do more than look. He wanted those lovely hands on him and those lips kissing him.

"I won't bite. Unless you happen to enjoy that. Then we can talk," he said with a warm grin. He wanted to be appealing, lovely and not the desperate needy human that he actually was.

[hallarider]

Bramen eagerly took the man's hand and moved down onto Dorian's bed with him, sitting at the edge for a moment as he opted to remove his own boots. They were easy enough to remove, kicking them aside and moving in closer to Dorian once more. He pressed his lips against the man's own, more than content to simply kiss him and touch him right now - explore that body and get comfortable with it. A shiver went through him once more, bringing a hand to stroke through Dorian's hair again, holding the back of the man's head as their lips met once more, pushing his tongue inside of that hot and waiting mouth.

The Awoken pushed Dorian down onto the bed, his heart starting to pound again and arm trembling a bit as he braced it against the man's chest. "I might like a few bites," Bramen said quietly, looking down at Dorian with another flash of those yellow-green eyes. "Though right now, I really like the feeling of my mouth against you..."

And with that, he dipped his head towards Dorian's neck, unable to mask the shaky breath he let out before he began to kiss along the Warlock's throat.

[pavus_redemit]

Normally Dorian preferred a more confident lover but Bramen's hesitancy was endearing. He ran his fingers gently through his hair to help calm him as they kissed. He wanted to ease his nerves and allow him to enjoy this experience.

"You have a lovely mouth," he groaned softly as he tipped his head back for him. "Very clever. Very pleasurable."

He trailed his fingers back and forth between Bramen's shoulder blades. The Awoken was in charge now. Dorian would have to lie back and enjoy the attention. He would have to be patient which he wasn't always good at.

[hallarider]

Bramen tried to be as confident as he could, kissing at the man's neck - though every kiss was getting bolder, moving down along the man's shoulders and then back up. His breaths were still shaky but he was trying. He hoped his nervousness wasn't showing too much at the moment. Though that may have been a bit too much to hope for.

He breathed out across Dorian's skin, bumping his nose beneath the man's chin. "I.. I'd like you to tell me what to do, what you want," he murmured, even though he normally was perfectly confident leading any assignment or strike, this was entirely new territory. Exciting yet frightening territory. His skills in battle and tactics against the Fallen weren't going to help him here.

"Like I said... I haven't exactly been with a man before..." But oh, how he had wanted to.

[pavus_redemit]

"It's not terribly different from being with a woman," he reassured him with a gentle kiss to his temple. "There are some different parts but what people like is often the same."

He had to keep his eyes open to distract himself from the wonderful physical feelings that Bramen's kisses were playing through him.

"I like what you're doing. I have no way to hide my enjoyment, you know." He caught Bramen's hand and led it down his stomach and brushed it against his erection. "I am very much enjoying this."

[hallarider]

The Hunter's hand wrapped around Dorian's cock, another hitch in his breath in doing so. He started to stroke the man's arousal, just like he'd stroke his own - though Dorian's was much smoother than his own. "A few different parts," he managed to smirk and give a small chuckle, still not ready to admit that he'd never been with a woman either. He continued to stroke Dorian's cock, kissing beneath the man's chin and along his jaw, feeling the man's length stiffen from his attention.

"It's easier when you don't have a lot to hide," he said, shifting his own hips a little, still wearing his pants. He too was growing aroused from merely touching and kissing Dorian, listening to the man's voice as he told him what he was enjoying.

"Shame these pants of mine are still hiding something."

Whoops, almost replied with my Warden, lol

[pavus_redemit]

Dorian groaned and jerked up in to Bramen's hand. He hoped it wouldn't scare him off with such sudden movements. It felt damn good though. It had been so long since someone touched him.

"You can take those off whenever you're comfortable," he said, his voice heavy with desire. Oh, he wanted to see how different they were. He hoped his enthusiasm wouldn't make Bramen more nervous.

"My dick isn't going anywhere, I promise." If anything it would only become more enthusiastic when he saw Bramen naked at last.

[hallarider]

Dorian jerking up into his hand didn't surprise him too much, though it did make him grin, encouraged by the man's sudden groan and movements. That was a way to know for certain he was doing right - though he reluctantly needed to let go and he eased back a little. Bramen breathed in, looking towards the man and motioning for Dorian to sit up a little.

"All right... It's different though - I just hope it doesn't catch you too off guard," he cautioned, knowing that the man was no doubt going to react in some manner to it. Whether it would be good or bad, he'd find out. Bramen unfastened his belt and unzipped the fly of his pants, moving onto his knees to slide them down his toned thighs.

His cock stood erect, the same blue as the rest of his skin, even in the dim light of Dorian's room. It was thicker at the base, an area that would grow thicker and swell into a knot when he got particularly close to finishing. The underside of the shaft had ridges along it, bumps going along the side of the length. it looked different and it would certainly feel different. At the head, which was a lighter blue than the rest of his skin, nearing that white tone Bramen's cheeks and ears had gone when he was flushing, had three visible holes in the tip, one already starting to leak out a translucent pre-cum that was glowing as it beaded at the head.

Bramen wet his lips and looked to Dorian, hoping the man would approve.

[pavus_redemit]

He sat up, perhaps a bit eager, but he wanted to see this. His curiosity was eating at him and his libido was very interested in what Bramen kept in his pants.

"Oh," he said, his voice catching slightly. Dorian licked his lips. "It looks like we could have a lot of fun with that."

There were human sex toys that were somewhat similar and some that were more extreme. Bull had attachments that were more dramatic. He looked up at Bramen and leaned in to kiss him.

"Later I am going to ask all sorts of inappropriate and invasive questions about it but right now I'm much more interested in playing with it," he said against his lips.

[hallarider]

"Play away," Bramen said with a short laugh, pleased at Dorian's reaction to it. It was a relief in many ways that it didn't shock or frighten him. No, instead the man was simply intrigued - and looking forward to enjoying it. Bramen shifted a little on his knees, moving closer to the man and letting his pants move further down his legs, until he could properly kick them off. He moved until he was close to Dorian again, moving between the man's legs as he moved in for another kiss with him.

"And... Ask whatever questions you like - though I'm sure you'll be able to answer a few of them yourself soon enough."

[pavus_redemit]

"I want to experience this first then I will ask my questions," he said as he put a hand on the back of Bramen's neck before he pulled him down for a long, deep kiss.

He kept kissing him, hoping to distract him with his tongue in his mouth as he trailed a hand up the inside of Bramen's thigh. He started with his testicles to let him know where his hand was headed. Those were very similar to Dorian's own.

[hallarider]

Bramen shifted under the attention, bucking his hips a little at the feeling of Dorian's hand against his testicles, a groan forming in the back of his throat. He leaned in for another kiss, breathing heavily through his nose. Anything Dorian wanted from him, he'd give the man. He'd give him absolutely everything.

"Anything," Bramen whispered, kissing the Warlock over and over again, one hand coming up to run through Dorian's dark hair again. The other moved to the man's cock, grasping it by the base and stroking up along the shaft once more, growing far more confident in his movements now, even if there was still a noticeable hitch in his breath and light tremble in his hand as he touched the man.

"Tell me what you think of it," he murmured, "What you want to do with it."

[pavus_redemit]

Dorian laughed roughly against Bramen's mouth. He kissed him harder and bit at his lower lip. "I want you to fuck me with it."

He ran his fingers up his cock, feeling the bumps and ridges and oh Dorian wanted to feel that inside him.

"You are going to hit all the sweetest spots inside of me," he groaned as he explored the knot at the base. Dorian squirmed in delight. He was going to adore this night. "I wonder how you taste."

[hallarider]

He shivered all over again, his heart beating fast again as Dorian began to stroke along his cock, feeling each of those ridges and the bumps along the sides. Inside of him, Dorian wanted him inside of him. His breaths were coming fast again as Dorian's hand moved around the knot at the base, still small at this moment - but it would swell. Bramen knew the moment he was inside of Dorian, it would swell, tie them together until he'd finished. Hopefully it wouldn't cause the man any discomfort - he seemed so excited over it all.

Though Bramen was excited too, more of that glowing pre-cum leaking out the same hole in the head. A low sound came from Bramen's throat before it seemed to go silent, though the Awoken was squeezing his eyes shut, a blissful look still there as he jerked his hips towards Dorian's hand, the head rubbing against the man's wrist.

"Give it a taste," he urged, still craving whatever approval Dorian would give him.

[pavus_redemit]

"Let's make this easier." Dorian pushed Bramen on to his back and settled down between his legs.

He now had an up close view of Bramen's alien dick which was wonderful. He held the base under the knot with one hand to keep his steady as he pushed a finger through the glowing pre-come.

"Everything about you glows, apparently." He thought about licking his finger clean but decided on a more direct route. He leaned forward and dragged his tongue across the tip for his first taste.

[hallarider]

Bramen hadn't expected to be pushed down but when he was, he gasped, shifting beneath Dorian as the man moved down his body. His cock twitched as Dorian touched it, as he ran his finger through the pre-cum that beaded at the head - it was thicker than a human's, definitely stickier to the touch. The Awoken bit his lip, his hands moving up to grasp Dorian's hair, another noise escaping his throat before trailing off, hips bucking a bit as the Warlock's tongue came in contact with his cock and he tasted that cum.

It was salty. Very salty though with a touch of a bitter taste too. Different from a human's most definitely, though not wholly unpleasant. As Dorian licked away what formed there at his cock, more started to dribble out, stimulated by the feeling of that tongue. A moan passed Bramen's lips, parting as he started to pant a bit, never having experienced anything like this before. It was better than he could imagine.

"Oh, Creators," he gasped, fisting at Dorian's hair and tugging at it. "Do that again..."
