Til the siren come calling

"We appreciate your hard work. We have one last mission for you."

The words rang through his mind and made him burn with anger and betrayal. He tried to make his body move, to force it to get up and fight back, to stop the Lazarus from doing whatever it was about to do as it approached, but he couldn't move except to squirm and flinch.

The zombie cyborg knelt down beside him and put a hand on his head, tilting it back to expose his neck as something bit into the human skin there. He watched as Void left the room, unconcerned with what was going on behind him and Jet's thoughts slowly slipped away. Then there was something else in his head. A voice was whispering to him, a familiar voice..someone he could trust; there was nothing but that voice and it's reminder how there was someone who betrayed him...no, multiple someones, people he'd trusted and thought wanted him around but were just using him, he needed to get back at them.

Istanbul. That was where they were.

'Go! Go! Traitors don't deserve to live anyway.' It whispered and he listened. His jets burned hot as they propelled him into the sky, indiscriminate of the building around him, it didn't matter, there was no time to waste.

He flew as fast as he could for the Gilmore Foundation.

It takes Albert far too long to respond after Jet finishes. He feels raw and exposed, Jet able to see right into him as if he's made of glass, all the working parts on display so neatly. He feels just that fragile too, standing there staring at the floor as if it will rise up and offer some solution.

"I thought you didn't want me." Even his voice is fragile, a fact he despises and he folds his arms across his chest as if they could act as a shield. "I thought, we all thought, that you'd finished with us entirely. For nearly thirty years, Jet. For thirty years I thought you'd found some other life you liked better that I wasn't a part of. Of course I'm hesitating, and of course you've changed, so have I in being apart for that long.

"I don't have any answers either. I don't know how this will work or what we even are to each other now, but I know..." His voice softens, even more vulnerable. "I know what it feels like to lose someone you love. I know that more than most, though God knows I wish I didn't. But it felt the same as before. I don't think that has changed."

That heart-wrenching reeling feeling of being broken yourself because your other half is gone. He hadn't spoken of it to anyone save Francoise in the time between Jet and Joe's mission and their return today, and even then he hadn't said much, more listened. He'd thought she'd cracked a little, saying how He would make it right. How He wouldn't give them challenges they couldn't overcome. So he'd thought she'd cracked or was at least grasping at straws to keep them both afloat.

But she'd turned out to be right, whether she'd known all along or it came as as much of a surprise to her as the rest of them.

"Do you... do you believe in fate?" he hesitated to ask, his voice a low rumble with his eyes still on the floor. It's a ridiculous question and Albert generally isn't much for mysticism but there are more things in the world than the human consciousness can comprehend, and perhaps there is something, God or otherwise, making sure that these second chances, these miracles, happen.

Slowly he lifts his face, meeting Jet's eyes for the first time in the last few minutes. His own expression is still careworn and drawn but there's a light in his eyes that wasn't there before, something pushing through the doubt. "Stay here tonight. I can't promise it will be like nothing happened, but I want to try."

For Jet, he'll try anything.

Albert lets the breath he hadn't even been aware he was holding out all at once as Jet pulls him close. There's barely a moment of hesitation as the older cyborg brings his up too, crossing under Jet's arms to rest his fingers just at the taller man's shoulders and keeping him as close as possible and burying his face in Jet's neck.

All the years apart and he still fits perfectly right here.

He stays like that for a long time, close as he can get and pressed into Jet as if he can't quite believe he's really there and as long as he keeps his arms around him he won't vanish. There are so many things Albert wants to say, wants to share, moments that happened apart that he wishes Jet had been there for, all the things that happened to Jet for which he was absent. It hurts to think how much they've missed, but there's an element of joy there too, of having the chance to share it now even if he doesn't have the words quite yet.

Those will come later. For now he'd prefer a small measure of action and slowly, deliberately, Albert lifts himself on his toes to press a timid and chaste but still altogether overwhelmingly loving kiss to Jet's lips.

It feels silly to have that pressure on his chest again, the weight of emotion that he'd managed to keep under wraps for so long but now keeps pricking his eyes in the form of tears. He'd been a crier as a child and worked hard to shove it down and away because showing that sort of weakness was unbecoming of a man. He still feels it is, for him. Not for things like loss and death, but from this? That's more feminine than he considers himself.

And yet one single tear rolls down his cheek as he kisses Jet and holds him desperately. There's nothing intense enough about the kiss itself to bring it on. No Hollywood passion, no teeth or tongue, just the gentle softness of Jet's lips against his own, slightly chapped and altogether ordinary. But it's enough that it makes Albert's mind go white and placid and he finally recognizes the lump in his throat and the weight on his chest for what it is.

He's happy. For the first time in such an unbearably long time, Albert is happy.

It's the opposite of what he knows he should do. He shouldn't even be letting Jet stay the night, let alone share his bed. He should be cautious and careful and put his foot down, close the distance slowly an work things out thoroughly before wading in again. Logical and plain.

Instead his heart flutters at Jet stating so plainly that he's wanted and tosses all his thoughts and caution to the wind. He plants a kiss to Jet's hand and clasps it tightly in his, stepping softly to lead him towards the wrought iron stairs up to the loft.

At first he thinks it's a silly thing to ask as he sits there, eyes trained on Jet in a sort of daze. He's been touching too, gentle hands so reminiscent of their first time in his reticent brushes of fingers, unsure of where he's allowed. It's silly but it's not; even though Albert's been exposed in front of Jet already, just within the last few days from the waist up, it is still all new again after so long apart. He finds himself flushing just a little, though that's in no small part thanks to the attention Jet pays to his neck.

"Alright." He looks up at Jet from under his fringe, surprising even himself with his lack of hesitation. If he's to be bold, then why not one step further? Albert reaches out to clasp the hem of Jet's coat. "Yours too."

There's still the self consciousness in Albert. It's lessened over the years - even someone as slow as he is to get comfortable with things eventually reached that point after decades - but with Jet so careful and warm it rises up in the form of color to his face and neck, even the tops of his ears. Were his shoulders not sleek metal grafting he likely would be blushing there too so powerful is the feeling of vulnerability. But it's not an uncomfortable feeling, just overwhelming and it stays Albert's hands even if he wanted to help either of them disrobe. He merely sits there, transfixed and spurred to reaction by Jet's actions.

There's another flutter and a twist in his stomach as Jet shifts them both further onto the bed, his eyes roaming over every dip and rise in the older cyborg's body much as Albert had done to him so many times. He swallows, realizing over again that the sight is new to the blond, that his upgrades were spoken of but never seen as such since his casing had been off. He looks up from under his brows to watch Jet's eyes map him out, giving a little shiver in spite of himself.

So intent is he on watching the younger man that he's a bit startled when Jet slides himself into his lap instead of beside him, though the chance is welcome and Albert raises his hands to Jet's arms as if to show it, curling cool metal fingers lightly around his biceps. The first string of kisses earns a soft and breathy 'oh' from him and a shift of one hand to the back of Jet's neck, still light and fingers winding in the tufts of hair at his nape. Gently, he turns his head just a little and presses the corner of his lips against Jet's temple, not wanting to disturb the blond from his actions but offering what encouragement he can in his utterly overcome state.

Role reversal, that has to be what it is. This is familiar, so very familiar, but he knows he hasn't been on this end of the situation before. He's in mind of that first real fight they'd had, one where he'd been... not in the wrong, but nervous, too nervous to push through it and acknowledge what he really wanted until he'd gotten a proverbial slap in the face. It may have been over a quarter century ago, but it's crystal clear to Albert right now how he must have made Jet feel with his refusal of intimacy, with parting ways on that note.

Unwanted, rejected...

And now? Now that Jet's hands map every little stretch of skin or metal, his eyes roaming and committing merits and flaws alike? Is this how Jet felt that foggy fall night in New York when they'd finally settled into each other and found they fit just right?

It shouldn't be surprising, he tells himself over the lump in his throat. It shouldn't be because ever since they were remodeled, it's been Jet. It's always been Jet.

Albert's arms slip more tightly around Jet, silver hair brushing Jet's pale shoulder as he buries his face in its slope, hiding his expression and knowing Jet will ask what's wrong but unable to stop himself. It's so incredibly intense and relieving, having that which he never thought he'd have again.

"No, I..." he cuts himself off with a swallow, licking his lips and trying to find the right phrasing, to not let his voice waver so much. One moment's pause turns into three or four as his mind skates around the point, the logical half telling him he should stop this right now, should talk and be cautious, to wait and see.

The emotional half plants its metaphorical boot right up logic's ass and spurs him to finally speak again.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I never called, that we made you think you didn't have anywhere to go, that we've been apart for so long and missed so much." Albert's hands go to Jet's arms, cold metal palms against forearms, grasping gently as he tilts his head back to meet the younger man's eyes. "I'm sorry I let you down. I'm sorry we've missed so much time."

Growing quieter, Albert simply rests his forehead low on Jet's chest, curling into the man in his lap with undercurrents of both sorrow and relief buoying up his words. "I'm sorry I can't just forget it."
silberfuchs: (encompassing kiss)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-01-13 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"I need..." It's a soft admission even if Albert's plenty certain Jet knows already. "I need--"

His breath catches and instead of more words he simply leads forward and captures Jet's lips against his, pouring every bit of himself into that kiss. Every feeling of heartbreak, every bit of the terrifying crushing loneliness he'd felt in the years after his ire had faded. And every bit of joy at Jet's return too. All the love, all the doubt, all the happiness and sorrow, every modicum of feeling and life, vibrant and overflowing in that kiss.

All because of Jet. All because he planted the seed in Albert so long ago.

Just by talking through a grate.

When he pulls away it's not far. His hands against Jet's neck, his thumbs brushing against that sharp jaw as he repeats what he'd already said before, but this time with so much more feeling. "I need you."

So Jet had heard him. With no mention until now, Albert thought he hadn't, but bringing it up turns him a brilliant shade of scarlet and elicits an involuntary laugh, both at that and at Jet's forceful and blunt reciprocation. It also makes him feel so much better about all this.

"Yes, I said it." He swallows, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. Being able to hear Jet say it back, even after all this time, sets much of the tension out of him. "After that first time, I didn't want you to go not knowing."

One hand moves to run back through Jet's hair, threading between the strands gently. "Perhaps it's selfish, but hearing you say it back now makes me feel much better."
silberfuchs: (gentle)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-01-14 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
The color that had started to fade from Albert's cheeks as he spoke suddenly rose again at Jet's words and he shivers. Usually, to his memory, Jet's attempts at being seductive Albert found attractive in a gawky, earnest way that made him want to protect the man as much as bed him, but this whisper in his ear is different. It's confident and forward and incredibly alluring.

Maybe, if he let Jet take full charge of the situation, let him show what it is he wants to show Albert, then it can both acknowledge that things had changed, and maybe not for the worse.

"You can have whatever you want." He's no shrinking violet, but Albert whispers he words back, prepared to submit to Jet and let him lead.
silberfuchs: (omg Jet plz)

[personal profile] silberfuchs 2014-01-14 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Not even five seconds after Albert decides to let Jet have his way and the younger man already pulls an adoring smile from the German at his enthusiastic kiss-on-the-cheek thank you. It's cute, in contrast to how wildly seductive he'd found the initial come on, and makes him simply want to gather Jet up and hold him instead of anything more strenuous.

And then lips and teeth and tongue all start their tracing and he's thrown once again back the other way, dragging soft pants and gentle moans from the older cyborg as goosebumps rise on his skin, real and synthetic alike, under Jet's soft lips.

Albert doesn't seem to know what to do with his own hands during all this. The thing to do would be to lay them on Jet but he knows his own impulsive need for control would lead him to guide the blond and that's not what he's aiming for here. Instead he rests one forearm over his eyes, the other hand on the blanket under him, occasionally pawing in the peaks of the fabric when Jet hits a particularly sensitive spot; with the upgraded synth skin and nerve net, there are more of those to find.

Long fingers sneaking up the backs of his legs and under the stretchy fabric of his boxer briefs gives him a shiver, one hand groping for Jet's shoulder as those fingers nip into soft cheeks. The stretch of the garment with Jet's hands adding to the bulk puts pressure on his crotch, which after all the careful attention is cut in sharp relief under the straining fabric; full and almost embarrassingly at attention.

There were two others, when one or two months had turned to three or four years and anger had faded through sadness and completely into apathy. At the three years and two months mark there was a woman in his division, a history buff with an old soul, glasses and chocolate brown hair. They'd had drinks after she graduated from specialized training and one thing lead to another. Neither of them got off and he rarely saw her after.

The other was a man, fire red hair and freckles, his eyes striking blue and his mouth disjointed from his thoughts in that it kept running even when he should be silent. Albert didn't even notice the similarities until he called the wrong name in bed.

It's a sad little history and he doesn't want to share it, ashamed of it as he is. If Jet asked he wouldn't lie, so he just prays the blond never asks. It doesn't matter, not now. It's so far from his mind in this moment that he may well have ceased to exist during those years apart and only came back into being the moment His Voice surfaced.

Maybe that's a divine gift too.

He gasps and mewls to the ceiling as Jet runs his tongue and fingers, still practiced at everything that makes Albert squirm even after so long. Or it could just be that Albert's more sensitive, or that he's wanted to feel Jet's breath and eyes and everything on him for so long that even the teasing is threatening to push him over the edge.

At the bite and angry suck on his hip, Albert cries raggedly into the room, fingers fisting in the sheets as he forces himself to stay still even with the guilty thrill bowing his spine just a little. He deserves it, the rough treatment, wants it if it's at Jet's hands. If he's a map of bruises and marks when the night is over, he'll still be a happy man.

Silver eyes trace over gold hair, Albert craning his neck to see what his lover is doing, to witness the beginning of his own branding and to try and cratch his breath; he's already panting hard. "That feels good."
