Black [D'hys]

The Weyrling had been bored that particular evening, which didn't bode well for a few individuals. Valerian had been hit on fairly thoroughly during dinner, at least until Talian arrived and Erisi assumed it to be a good idea to back off. He doubted Valerian would turn him down, but he didn't want to deal with Talian getting upset or flustered. The Healer was a delicate sort, so Erisi had that plan fall through. His evening would have been filled with pleasurable acts if he had let it... but you win some, and then you lose some. Erisi had dismissed himself from dinner shortly after Talian's arrival. Going back to his hut was a fantastic idea, but one he ended up not following through with. Opportunity happened to strike at his door, and Erisi was far too kind an individual to turn it away!

Walking down the hall, a familiar voice had drifted towards his ears. The voice and its partner's were hushed, and he could barely make out their forms in the darkness. If he didn't recognize the voice, he would have moved on. Instead, he lingered, leaning back against the wall and waiting for the two men to continue with whatever it was they were doing. The figures were intimately close, but it was just like a certain someone to move quickly. The men walked down the hall, and Erisi waited a few seconds before following them. Erisi wasn't exactly a sneaky individual, he didn't hide in rooms waiting for the juiciest gossip to reach his ears. Yet, when opportunity arose, he struck out for it.

The walk was agonizingly long, and would have been boring if Erisi was not intent on keeping his presence unknown. It took some measure of patience and intelligence to remain out of sight until the men arrived at their destination. The Crafthall was completely deserted at this time of night. The last of the dragonriders and weyrfolk would be in the dining cavern, if not their own huts. It wouldn't be Erisi's first pick for a rendezvous, but the 'couple' were fairly safe from discovery at this hour of the evening. The rooms in the Crafthall were without doors, and rather like viewable stations of work. Erisi wouldn't really know - he only came here when necessary, and certainly didn't work here. He had Charath, that was a job of his own.

Are you listening to them...?

'No, waiting for them to finish up.' Erisi now stood just to the side of the door, his back pressed against the cold wall. He certainly didn't need to look into the room to know what was going on. The ass on bottom couldn't keep his mouth shut - the man moaned far more freely than Erisi thought the situation needed. Inbetween his moans, there was the definite sound of flesh smacking against flesh, of furniture being shifted in what was an undeniable grapple for stability. He wasn't exactly turned on by the sound, rather just observing the situation from a slightly non-sexual distance.

This is not worth either your's or my time. You need to redouble your efforts with Valerian.

'It's sooo going to be worth mine.'

Minutes passed by, which Erisi hadn't quite prepared for. The wait was annoying, and he badly wanted at least one of them to finish. If he was correct on who one of the individuals was, it wouldn't matter if the bottom finished or not. Finally, they both seemed to get off as was the purpose of their getaway. The bottom moaned like the whore he was, and the top groaned. Erisi resisted the urge to peek in on them to make sure they were getting dressed. Since there weren't any slapping sounds, he assumed they were getting clothed.

The bottom came out, "Nice score, hmmm?" Erisi congratulated him, making the man jump in surprise. The Weyrling smiled smugly as the man hurried out of the Crafthall, and then immediately stepped to the side and into the doorway to prevent the final man from escaping.

Ah, he loved it when he was correct.

Rumors had been floating around lately that a particular bluerider was settling down into a relationship with some idiot of a greenrider. Rumors had also been floating around that the aforementioned bluerider liked a few distractions from his relationship. It was a small contradiction that Erisi had picked up on fairly quickly. "I take it that's not V'zire?" he purred his greeting sweetly to D'hys, completely smug and likewise insufferable now that he had quite literally caught the bluerider in the act... of fucking a man he wasn't dating.

D’hys had never been one to shy away from a quick hook up in various locations and didn’t see the need to change that while in his pursuit of V’zire. In fact, the adorable little greenrider hanging onto his every word every moment they were together while likely daydreaming about his perfect bluerider every moment they were apart only added to the thrill of banging someone else in the open. There simply wasn’t a reason to play the chaste good boy completely in his attempts to get V’zire on his hands and knees, especially when that goal was going to take a slow and steady pace so as not to spook the shy man. No way was D’hys even going to consider going that long without getting laid in the meantime!

He had randomly grabbed a man he had been with once before in the past and recalled him being okay with dark empty rooms. A quick trip to the Crafting Hall seemed like a fun location that hadn’t seen D’hys in action for a while and it wasn’t likely to see a certain greenrider either. D’hys enjoyed the thrill of potentially being caught but it was a lot easier to talk his way out of something V’zire had simply heard about and not witnessed with his own eyes.

D’hys was clothed and leaning on the edge of the table as he waited for enough time to pass for his annoyingly loud and whiny lover to leave first. He had forgotten that quirk about the man and made a note to avoid a repeat performance. Moaning and begging was all well and good but some people had a voice that grated on the nerves. When he heard the footsteps fade away, D’hys pushed off of the table, having already grown bored with waiting and figured enough space was given between them. There was just one problem, there was someone standing in the doorway and the figure wasn’t that of the man he had just been with.

He recognised Erisi by his voice before stepping closer to the weyrling and visually identifying him. It seemed he wasn’t the only one currently bored and Erisi was looking to stir up some trouble for his amusement. D’hys figured he could afford to humour him for a few minutes. “I take it you don’t actually know what V’zire looks like if you have to ask that.”

"I was being coy. I've glimpsed you with him before, and have heard enough about him to know he'd be fairly upset with your behavior." Erisi arched a thin brow, daring D'hys to deny that his actions would cause the greenrider some distress. D'hys could probably dismiss the threat Erisi presented. Shells, it could be fairly easy to win D'hys over... but that would be forgetting that Erisi was a Harper. Obviously, he wasn't a skilled teacher, so that meant his talents lied with information gathering and music. To underestimate a Harper would just be silly, and V'zire had no previous encounter with Erisi. Naturally, he'd trust D'hys more... but there were likely a good number of the greenrider's friends that would be concerned for his well being! And they would certainly pass on Erisi's tale. It would be the most effective approach instead of going directly to V'zire.

In summary, if Erisi wanted to fuck with D'hys' little 'love life'... he certainly was capable of it. Shells, he was pretty sure he'd could recognize the floozy D'hys was with for back-up, if absolutely necessary. But, he was sure that wasn't necessary. Rather, Erisi liked to think that D'hys would play his game with him. The Weyrling was bored, and Valerian was becoming more engrossed with Talian lately, even though the Healer had Impressed. If he was going to lose precious time with Valerian, he was going to have to substitute someone else in. Fucking around with D'hys, both figuratively and literally, would be a decent way to pass the time.

Shells, he was sure D'hys would agree with him without Erisi holding this event over his head like a noose.

"I was trying to figure out how you could tolerate pursuing him - now I know why." D'hys obviously had other people to sate his lusts with while he led the greenrider on. Erisi didn't particularly care for V'zire, and kind of found the guy to be annoying. Most people were annoying to him, but someone who didn't want to tumble into bed with him was one of the types of people he couldn't tolerate. It was D'hys he was far more interested in - D'hys could be fun, if not a little unpredictable. But even that unpredictability was exciting, he had to admit.

The Weyrling remained in the doorway, blocking D'hys' immediate escape route. The bluerider could easily shove him to the side and go on his merry way... but that wasn't advisable. Erisi liked D'hys, but did not like D'hys so much that he wouldn't be an absolute douche to him. Erisi's mouth would likely start running the moment D'hys disappeared from his sight, and he would delight in every moment of it.

Indeed, V’zire would be fairly upset if he heard rumours that his new boyfriend was sleeping around with everyone else while they shyly held hands and stole a kiss here and there. It’d be easy to convince his precious greenrider that such rumours were exactly that, even if they came from the mouths of people he trusted more. He had a lot of old lovers and some even hated him so it wouldn’t be hard to say someone from his past was jealous of the new happiness found with V’zire and wanted to ruin it. However, just because it would be easy didn’t mean D’hys necessarily wanted to deal with it either. Once that seed was planted, V’zire would always wonder how much was true and might even take to paying closer attention to what was done in the free time when D’hys was left alone.

Erisi surely wasn’t the only one that knew, as D’hys obviously wasn’t the only one ever involved in the act of sex as it was more enjoyable as a party for two or more, but the weyrling was one he’d have to be careful with. The others were easily controlled by intimidation or the promise of more high risk sex in the future but Erisi liked attention and mischief. That had been easy to figure out early on and now the little pest had something he could hold over him if D’hys wasn’t careful. To show he wasn’t too concerned – since he currently hadn’t decided how much he should be – D’hys took a few paces to the side to lean against the wall, arms folding lightly over his chest as he considered options and how to deal with the weyrling.

“So what is it that you want?” There was no point in continuing like he was innocent nor was there a point in pretending Erisi was simply saying hello. Something would be wanted in exchange for silence and while D’hys could guess, he also suspected Erisi would prefer having a bit more control right now. It didn’t hurt any to allow the younger man to believe he had it.

"Who says I wanted anything?" Erisi answered sweetly, though his voice was a mockery of it. Erisi was far from a sweet individual - like his dragon, he could be harsh and critical of others. The one person he liked the most was himself, and no one else stood in even vague competition. So, of course Erisi wanted something, and he also knew that he couldn't request too much of D'hys. The man wasn't willing to give him too much, he assumed. Anything that was a stretch of D'hys' abilities would be too much to inquire after. D'hys would probably risk Erisi sending word down the grapevine to V'zire of his lovers' sexual affairs. It was a good thing that Erisi already had something reasonable in mind - something he didn't think D'hys would disagree with.

He supposed he did have to let Valerian rest sometimes, and he couldn't spend his days accosting his best friend. "It's really cute, sometimes, how you drag me off whether I'm in the mood or not." Which was a not-so subtle way of Erisi saying that sometimes he got ticked off with D'hys for that particular habit. But, he'd let bygones be bygones. "Let's change that." The Weyrling was perfectly smug and self-satisfied. Even if D'hys tried to keep him from riding on his high horse, he'd still do it. "I want to call the shots, then when, the where, and how often, because baby, you're not often enough. I suppose we'll do it your way, since it's not nearly as much fun when you aren't enjoying yourself."

He pressed his tongue to the inside of his cheek, contemplating what more he wanted from the man, though he already knew. "You've been hanging out with the twins a lot, too. I think it'd be pretty fucking fantastic if you can get me more access with them... and your other hookups that don't moan like little bitches in heat." See, Erisi was being perfectly reasonable! He was going to help D'hys keep from V'zire finding out he was having sex outside of their relationship.... by having sex with him! It was a beautiful idea... and he had to admit, he just wanted to turn the tables on D'hys, who was so used to controlling every aspect of every hookup.

D’hys almost laughed at what Erisi wanted. He had a feeling it would be sexually related given that was all they met for but meeting the weyrling more frequently wouldn’t be a hardship. In fact, it might even help him out. Erisi had so far handled everything thrown his way and while he liked to complain, he also liked to shake his ass and ask for more. So spending more time in dark rooms with only one main man on the side seemed like it would still hold a nice thrill, get his rocks off, and take the risk of V’zire finding out down a few notches. D’hys could definitely work with that. He’d have to let Erisi think he still controlled the negotiations though – although in a way, the little diva truly did. Erisi could run his mouth at any point and screw D’hys over so as much as the bluerider wanted full control and liked to think he would, he’d still have to be on guard even if only a little.

“So you’ll keep my sexual encounters outside of V’zire secret so long as I’m banging you more frequently?” He liked the idea but at the same time, D’hys knew there was one more risk though Erisi likely wouldn’t put himself in any line of fire. There was still a chance that one day the weyrling would tell V’zire to meet somewhere and have the greenrider walk in on them having sex. It seemed too high profile, even for a man that liked attention but D’hys would be careful of that happening – at least before he was ready for that since it would be an interesting break up method. “I’ll agree to those terms if, as you said, we keep it to my preferred style of secrecy.”

What was the other term? Oh right; the twins. That was another easy thing to achieve. “I can get you more time with the twins as well and a few of my other hook-ups. But the twins…” D’hys grinned but stayed leaning against the wall, keeping his hands to himself. Making a move on Erisi right then before the weyrling wanted it would potentially backfire during their negotiations, “like double dates at their hut if you catch my drift. I can get you into that particular circle of theirs.” He had had some fun times with the brothers but D’hys suspected not all of them would appeal to Erisi who needed attention solely on him. Four of them in bed, paired off appropriately, however, seemed like a kink that might work for him.

"The irony is kind of appealing to me," Erisi admitted with a sly smile. "Though, I can certainly change my demands to something more adequate," and probably more costly, "if you don't like the deal." Erisi liked to think that he was doing D'hys a kindness - he could be fairly stuck up when he wanted to be. Erisi liked the finer things in life, and he was sure he could get D'hys to give him a few somethings that he wanted. Sex was an easier bargaining tool, however, and far more fun. Right now he had enough of the material world to keep him sated. It was a surprise that his newest acquisition wasn't wrapped around his neck right now. Harac was attached to him nearly all day, but the little gold had been left to Charath's care. Erisi didn't think she would harm the flitter, mostly because Charath liked to use the gold in her pranks as well.

"Sure," Erisi agreed, "it'd be a shame if your boyfriend found out." While the idea to rat D'hys out anyways was tempting, he did want to stay on the bluerider's good side. To someone he liked less, he would have done it in a heartbeat just to be a dick. However, D'hys was a reliable lay, and a good one... which was a rarity in Katila. Lots of people liked to fuck - few knew how to fuck well. So, he'd discard the idea to sell D'hys out for now. If the bluerider somehow climbed down his list of people he could tolerate... then his fate likely would be up in the air again.

Erisi certainly got the hint, and a small smile tugged at the edges of his lips. The Weyrling certainly wasn't adverse to the idea. He didn't much enjoy sharing, but it wouldn't technically be sharing. He'd still have one of the twins attention completely on him, which was enough to feed his ego and keep him happy. "That sounds enjoyable, and not the least bit surprising that you'll be thrown into the mix as well." Erisi wasn't arguing, though. D'hys was a great addition to any sex party. He was a little rough and inconsiderate, but at the right times and during the correct mood... he was nearly perfect. "You do that for me and I suppose I can keep my lips sealed on the matter of you sleeping around with half the Weyr." Erisi still kept a polite distance between them, not necessarily because he wanted to, but he thought it gave him a little more superiority when he wasn't attached to D'hys' hips.

“Well, if you’re going to have my balls in your grasp, I’d like to make it literal as much as possible.” D’hys was enjoying himself and felt comfortable in their arrangement but he still knew better than to fully settle in. This agreement was likely to change as quickly as that whiny bottom got off. That man was off his list especially now that he had Erisi to keep happy. “When would you like to start having me on your schedule?” It didn’t matter, not entirely. D’hys was confident he’d have them in a routine soon enough that they both could appreciate and it wouldn’t interfere with his plans for and with V’zire. He may have been caught but the bluerider was going to make it work to his advantage in the end somehow.

“Right here and now?” Sure, he had just been with someone else but D’hys was willing to swap out one partner for another but he wondered if Erisi would agree to it. The weyrling was pampered, didn’t like sharing, and wouldn’t want someone’s leftovers – not that D’hys was anyone’s leftovers. That brought another scenario to mind, “or we could go play in the bathhouse if that is more to your liking.” The rest of his night was open and D’hys felt it wise to make sure Erisi remembered exactly how skilled he was and why it would be a bad idea to even let a word slip out about a lying and cheating bluerider he knows.

Erisi gave D'hys a strict look at the suggestion of 'here and now'. Did it look like he wanted D'hys to shove a dick up his ass that had just been buried into someone else? He would also like to note that the someone else was a whiny bitch. So, no, he did not want D'hys to touch him, as attractive as D'hys was, while he still had another man's stench wrapped around him. Erisi had standards, sometimes questionable standards, but that did not exclude them from existence. He was formulating a dignified and haughty response to give the bluerider when D'hys put forth a second suggestion that was far more to Erisi's liking.

"The bathhouse is perfect, you can wipe that man's scent off of you and your dick before touching me." True to D'hys' suspicion, that was the only hold up currently. Erisi hated to think he was taking someone's leftovers when he was far more deserving of the entire main course. Besides, he had already decided he didn't like D'hys' floozy, and he wanted every trace of him erased. He would probably admit later how ashamed he was of D'hys' decision making. The man could get with anyone - so why hookup with someone subpar?

"Your boyfriend won't miss you?" he inquired sweetly before turning away to walk down the hall. D'hys would follow, because D'hys had to.
