Welcome to Gaia! ::

A soft chuckle escaped Aggro. "My dear Carwyn, you are the most lovely thing I have ever set eyes upon. My only hope is that I do not disgrace you with my work." He smiled happily as the Drapion gave his answer, the kiss sending a shiver of pleasure up his spine.

He cleared his throat, trying to keep his mind from drifting elsewhere and glanced around. "Oh," he took a few steps away from Carwyn to inspect the area. "I know where we are! There's a cave system nearby that runs right through the mountains here. Most people can't navigate it, so it is relatively secluded." His face went red as he realize what might be implied by his statement. "It-it is a shortcut." He smiled sheepishly as he felt very awkward, even though he knew that he didn't need to feel that way. "W-would you like to take the path less traveled?" He held out a hand and awaited Carwyn's reply.

Carwyn's reply only intensified the redness in Aggro's cheeks. "I am so glad," he spoke lowly, a devious grin beginning to cross his lips. "I know the perfect secluded path... very few Pokemon venture down it." Aggro snaked an arm around Carwyn's narrow hips and pulled him even closer. He leaned in, his face brushing through the Draprion's hair and gently against his head pincers. "I hope you do not mind a little heat," he breathed heavily into the Drapion's ear. Aggro brought Carwyn's still clutched hand up and kissed the back of it softly. "Let us continue, my love."

And with that Aggro began to lead Carwyn off the path and into the brush, coming to a wide opening in the mountainside shortly after. Without any hesitation, the Pupinaw marched right in, pulling the Drapion along with him. It didn't take long before they were far enough in the cave that no light was coming in. Aggro, was sensing his way with his free hand, reading the rock formations that he knew so well with his sense of touch. It was this same sense that allowed him to read Carwyn's body so well.

Aggro smiled, if Carwyn thought the darkness was beautiful, just wait until he showed him what was a short distance ahead. As they turned a corned, a soft red glow could be seen further down the tunnel they were in. The closer they got to the light, the warmer it was getting. The air seemed to be getting an odd sulfur-y smell to it as well. It wasn't the greatest smell in the world, but Aggro was immune to the stench. He didn't think how it would affect Carwyn, though.

A few more paces and the tunnel opened into a large, cavernous room. Stalactites clung to the ceiling as pathways crisscrossed the room. A river of lava flowed underneath everything, giving off the reddish light and smell they'd encountered before even entering the room. It was far enough down that heat was not unbearable, but it was definitely hot in their current location.

The Pupinaw paused, looking at Carwyn. "This is what I wanted to show you." He gestured with his free hand to the whole of the room, the other still lovingly clutching the Drapion's. "I come here whenever I feel I need some time alone. I never showed it to anyone else, nor told anyone else." He paused, for a moment, then added, "But, I wanted to show to you, Carwyn."

Aggro watched as Carwyn took everything in. He reacted as he'd hoped, in awe of the place, just as Aggro had the first time he'd laid eyes on it. He smiled and gave Carwyn's hand a gentle squeeze, reassuring him that the Pupinaw was right next to him and that the whole thing was not a dream. Whether he was too hopeful or just completely oblivious to the impact of the stench on the Drapion was anyone' guess at this point.

The tiny hairs stood up on the back of Aggro's neck as Carwyn pressed into him. He swallowed hard, trying to find his voice again. "My thoughts are always of you," he confessed, he voice shaking at first, then solid in their conviction. He pulled Carwyn away so his own ruby eyes could into the Drapion's crimson ones. "You are..." he searched the other's eyes for the words that truly conveyed his feelings. "...words cannot express how much you mean to me. You are why I am on this plane. Without you, I am nothing. My soul would not be complete. Carwyn, I-" he broke off, feeling like the words would not do his emotions justice. "I love you, Carwyn. Please, be mine." He took hold of one of Carwyn's hands, moving the cloth of his shirt away with rough thumbs. Bringing up, he kissed it gently, never removing his eyes from Carwyn's.

A very broad smile graced Aggro's strong jaw as they embraced. He could not contain the joy that he felt after the Drapion had professed his love. He had been so worried that the outpouring of his heart would not be met with the same emotions. It solidified, in his mind at least, that he was doing the right thing. "I am so happy you feel that way, Carwyn, my love." A low chuckle escaped him and he looked down, though the smile was still on his face. "To be honest, I did not think you would go for someone like me." He raised his eyes before continuing, "I thought I was too plain and backwoods for you. Thank you so much for loving and accepting me."

Aggro could have stayed there in the embrace for the rest of his life, but he could feel the body of his lover not kindly taking to the heat of the place. "Come, let us leave this place. Its beauty pales in comparison to yours." He bent his head and gave the love Drapion a short, yet passionate kiss. He only broke it for the comfort of the other. He wasn't sure how much longer he'd actually be able to stay here. And after all that'd been said, Aggro would never forgive himself if something ill were to happen to Carwyn.

So, he led them out through a second tunnel across the room from the one they'd entered through. As they ventured further from the lava, the caves returned to the normal, cool temperature, that even Aggro was thankful for. He was feeling a little hot in the room but he wasn't sure it was entirely the lava that was making him feel that way. It wasn't long before the cave opening was in sight. Though Aggro was joyous about everything and the smile was still lingering, he felt a little sad when the sunlight came into view. He paused, still within the confines of the darkness. He gave Carwyn's hand a quick squeeze and turned to him. There was just enough light to make out a feral grin on the Pupinaw's face just before he ushered Carwyn to a little inset.

He breathed heavily into the other male's ear and pulled Carywn into him as he pressed his back against the cold stone. The hard, rough surface didn't bother his equally tough skin. "Just once more before I leave you for a time, let me prove my love."

((Aggro made me do this instead of wrapping it up in this post! He couldn't restrain himself! XP))

The n** at Aggro's throat only stoked the fire of his passion. His hands worked quickly. The care he took in removing Carwyn's clothes was matched only by his desire for the other male. He growled lowly as his lips kissed various places on the Carwyn's slender body. He was trying to keep quiet in case any Pokemon or human were close by. He'd hate to embarrass his love. Regardless, it was very difficult to stay so quiet while they let their animalistic instincts take hold.

The last rays of the sun had disappeared before they had reclaimed their clothes and exited the cave, holding hands once more. Aggro tried smoothing out his hair and shirt with his free hand before they'd come out. He wanted to look somewhat presentable, at least. Though the sun had gone down, it was bright enough to see by the light of the moon.

Aggro's house wasn't far from the cave entrance, just another 10 minute walk or so. He was late and his family was probably pretty worried about him, but he'd explain... or try to... he'd have to leave out a few details. Just thinking about those "details" made him shiver a bit, though.

As his house came into view, Aggro's heart broke a little, he didn't want to leave his love. He paused again and looked at Carwyn. The moonlight bathed him in a heavenly glow. Was there ever a time this man didn't look fantastic? Aggros smiled softly, "It is late, would you like to spend the night?"

"It is small, so we will have to sleep in the living room, but I am sure they will not mind if we sleep together." Aggro smiled, looking down, into the Carwyn's eyes. The stars' light seemed to fall into those dark red, glistening pools and he would love to drown in them. For actual fear he might, however, he broke his gaze to kiss the top of Carwyn's head sweetly.

Aggro flexed involuntarily as he shifted, continuing on their way. He swung the back gate open and walked Carwyn through, not flinching as his parents (still Pokemon) rushed out to simultaneously greet him, scold him, and marvel at his growth. After several moments of this and Aggro's mother fawning over Carwyn, they invited them inside for a late dinner before setting up a place for them to sleep.

((I think we can end it here, unless you want to add anything.))
