Title: Old Habits Author: Cadence Rating: R Warnings: Backstory spoilers. Word Count: 200 Summary: "Being a pirate has changed you little," Balthier says.
"Being a pirate has changed you little," Balthier says. Too snappish, he knows – it seems every time his old life intrudes on his new he can’t help but pick up old habits like they were never laid down.
Reddas laughs. If anything it feels restrained, a colder edge to it than when he was a Magister.
"Being a pirate has many meanings," he says enigmatically, and Balthier scowls.
Then he moves, and it seems that Reddas’s physique has changed little, as well, because suddenly Balthier is against the wall. The outside wall of the tavern, gods be damned, and yet it seems everyone passing has found other places to look.
His cock is already mostly hard before Reddas’s hand slides under the cross of his belts, and the moan is half out of his mouth before Reddas presses down.
"Things are different now, and doing this here will do me little harm," he breathes in Balthier’s ear. "However, if you ask nicely we can retire to a more private locale."
Balthier takes a moment to breathe, but there is only one answer to that. He reaches for the fastenings at the other man’s waist. "When do pirates ever ask nicely?"
