Heat Me Up, Melt Me Down (nsfw)
Henry nurses a sick Arthur back to health in a small snowy cabin then helps Arthur finally relax.
Dear Lord, it was cold out. Already thick layers of snow coated the outside of the tiny cabin and more was coming down. The world outside disappeared as the snow muffled all noise and blocked out the sun.
Henry had quickly worked to start a fire in the- thankfully standing- hearth, using pieces of damp wood from outside with bits of broken furniture to coax the flame. The heat quickly filled the one room home, if it could be called a home at all.
Besides the stone hearth, the cabin boasted two wooden chairs- one of which was broken, now kindling, a worn deer skin pelt that covered a dirty wood floor, and a single bed fit with a thin bedroll. The cabin itself spanned maybe a measly eight square feet and had two windows; one by the door and another on the adjoining wall.
The wind blew softly outside as Henry shuttered the windows and rolled the deer pelt up to shove into the crack beneath the door.
It was not a terrible storm to be stuck in. The snow was coming down steadily, but the winds were slow. It could be worse. Henry might have been able to continue longer, ride farther, only Arthur had almost fallen from his horse twice before they finally found the cabin left abandoned in the trees.
It wasn't like Arthur to let an illness get the best of him. Usually he was steadfast even with a sniffle or a cough, but this time his stomach had turned sour and a tempestuous fever turned his body molten. It had been a rough few weeks besides and losing his lunch and dinner left Arthur ragged.
Henry tried his best not to fuss. Voicing his concerns only served to worsen Arthur's already shaky moral. Losing Dutch to Micah's machinations, seeing their friends and family run off, splitting ways with John in hopes that either of them had the chance of leaving their past behind, all of it had broken Arthur's heart. Arthur had almost suggested Henry leave with the Marstons- it might be safer- but Henry's dedication and love were strong and he wouldn't be swayed in his path with Arthur.
He'd never say it in so many words, but Henry had already decided he would not suffer to live without Arthur. He just hoped he could avoid becoming a burden.
When the two men found the empty cabin Henry put his foot down and demanded Arthur rest. He helped Arthur into the cabin, made up the bed as best as he could with their extra bedrolls and blankets, and shucked Arthur out of his wet clothes. Arthur grumbled all the way, but his fever was still high. He was covered in a sheen of sweat and Henry knew if he didn't get him dry Arthur could freeze from the cold.
With the horses tied up beneath the trees Henry got to work nursing Arthur back to health. As the sun set Arthur slipped into a heavy sleep, but Henry stayed up almost all night to watch him and stoke the flames.
It took a day before Arthur could keep down more than water and another night before he began to gain his energy back. Finally his fever began to wain and Henry gazed satisfied into those pretty blue eyes. He smiled a small smile and rubbed his hand against Arthur's cheek.
"You need a shave," Henry joked keeping his voice soft.
"A~ah, I'm growin' it out", Arthur said with a chuckle. Henry was glad to hear it. He bent down and pressed a kiss to Arthur's lips. They were cracked from the cold but Henry didn't care. He just loved that he got to kiss them.
Arthur brought his hand up to cup the back of Henry's head and pulled him down with a gentle pressure. At the same time, he wrapped his other arm around Henry's waist and brought their bodies close. Henry hummed, pleased. Arthur was warm. Not burning hot like he'd been two days before, but cozy.
Henry pressed his face into Arthur's neck and sighed. His body relaxed a fraction as he felt the steady thump of Arthur's heart through his chest. But he couldn't relax completely. He had one more thing he wanted to do and he wasn't sure if Arthur would be very happy about it.
Henry pulled himself away and looked at the man he loved. He was a rambunctious, difficult, and wild man. He was often ornery, sometimes distant, but there was no doubt in Henry's mind that Arthur loved him back. Their love was a quiet and peaceful river flowing through their lives. No matter where the river went it's water faithfully flowed.
"Aren't you a sight for sore eyes", Arthur said, a good natured smile on his face. Henry sat up farther and watched Arthur's mouth fall open in child-like confusion. The look in his eyes said where do you think you're going?
"i'm sorry sweetheart," Henry said, "but you smell". He rose from the bed and stepped to the hearth where he grabbed a metal bucket of water. Arthur groaned and rolled his eyes.
"and not the usual kind'a smell, but like a bed-ridden old man".
"I am a bed-ridden old man", Arthur winged.
"Yer fine~" Henry drawled back.
As Henry closed in with the bucket Arthur began to stir beneath his blankets.
"It's freezin' out", Arthur said. There was a twinge of panic in his voice that made Henry smirk.
"I warmed the water by the fire you big baby. Alright, sit up and strip".
"Goose" Arthur said, using Henry's nickname in a last-ditch effort to save himself, but he knew it wouldn't work and slowly sat up and began to weakly pull at his union suit. Henry placed the water down by the bed and pushed Arthur's hand out of the way to make quick work of the buttons down his chest.
"We'll be movin' again soon enough and you'll feel better if yer not caked in dirt and sweat".
He pushed Arthur's suit off his shoulders and down to his waist. The big man shivered and reached for the rag in Henry's hand.
"Lemme...", Arthur tried, but Henry pushed his hand aside. He brought the cloth up to Arthur's neck and wiped slowly from beneath his ear down to his collarbone. Rivulets of warm water dripped down his shoulder and chest, making its way into Arthur's thick body hair. Henry leaned in and gently kissed the other side of Arthur's neck.
"I'll do it," he murmured against his skin and Arthur shivered again. This time not because of the cold.
Henry washed soft circles around Arthur's shoulders. He wiped carefully Arthur's face and mouth, the back of his neck and down his spine to the small of his back. All the while his face drawn in concentration.
Arthur couldn't help but stare. He placed his hands on either side of Henry's hips as if to steady himself. It was quiet besides the occasional soft sigh which suited him just fine because Arthur was focused on looking at Henry. He studied his face, the blush dusting his cheeks, the way his lashes fanned out from his deep brown eyes. Arthur looked hungrily at Henry's pursed lips and was contemplating leaning in to capture them in a kiss when Henry ran the warm cloth across Arthur's broad chest and followed it with his hand.
His soft fingers skimmed through the hair there and Arthur felt the pad of his thumb brush over his nipple. Henry's eyes looked up to meet Arthur's. There was glint of mischief there that Henry usually hid behind owlish innocence. God, he plays me like drum Arthur thought.
Warm breath ghosted over his skin as Henry leaned in close. Arthur thought his heart might stop. The hand without the rag gripped the side of Arthur's neck and as Henry pressed their mouths together he pushed the cloth down, down, down his stomach, stopping just above the folds of his union suit just above his groin.
Henry pushed his hand into Arthur's hair and gave a soft tug. At the same time his tongue traced Arthur's bottom lip then slipped into his mouth.
Arthur groaned and his half hard cock twitched in his lap. His skin was buzzing. He wasn't sure if he was hot or cold, only that he was electric. He pushed his hands up Henry's back and yanked at the small, round buttons that lined his spine.
The dress gave some resistance, but eventually came open. In the back of Arthur's mind he hoped he hadn't popped any of the buttons off because Henry would surely be upset, but in the moment he didn't have the time to care.
He broke their kiss as Henry shifted onto the bed, climbing into Arthur's lap.
"How much extra's the deluxe bath, sweetheart?" Arthur teased softly. Out of breath.
"It's free for you, honey", said Henry with a sweet smile.
He reached down and peeled the dress up and off of himself revealing even more layers left to go. To keep warm in the cold weather Henry had become a matryoshka doll of clothes, but together they made quick work of all of it until Henry sat completely nude.
Arthur ran his hands down Henry's chest and marveled not for the first time at how small he seemed in Arthur's hands. He messaged the soft flesh at Henry's sides and pressed his thumbs in firm circles over the bone of his hips. Then without warning Arthur shifted to take his ass in his hands and gave it a firm squeeze.
Henry moaned and arched is back. He pushed his butt back into Arthur's hands and the tip of his cock bobbed in the air. It was already completely hard. Arthur wasted no time spitting on to his fingers and reaching between Henry's cheeks to rub at his hole.
"This isn't-" Henry breathed, "what I- w- was s'posed to be- ugh- doin'!"
Arthur pushed the tip of his pointer finger into Henry. He moaned and grabbed Arthur's shoulders.
"what were you s'posed to be doin' hm?" Arthur teased. He heard Henry take in a lungful of air and watched his flushed chest rise. He was thinking about pressing his tongue over those pretty pink nipples when when Henry reached back pressed his hand against Arthur's
At the same time he ground his hips down and pressed Arthur's finger all the way into his wet heat. Arthur felt the way the walls of Henry's hole clenched down on him. Quickly Henry pulled Arthur's hand down and then back up, fucking himself with his finger.
Henry met Arthur's eyes with a heavy stare.
"I'm takin' care of you", he said.
Arthur had thought he'd taken control of this heated exchange, but he was begining to realize that Henry wasn't going to give up so easily. When Henry pulled his hand loose from inside him and began pushing Arthur back down onto the bed, he started thinking it would be a good idea to let it happen. In fact it would be better than good- it would be incredible.
Arthur sighed as he looked up at the man on top of him. It was dark inside the cabin with most of the light coming from the fire in the hearth. Red and yellow light danced across Henry's pale skin and turned his brown eyes golden. Henry looked down at him with unbridled hunger and it was all Arthur could do not to grab ahold of himself and jerk off at the sight of him. Instead he reached up and found the pin holding up Henry's hair and pulled it loose.
His light hair turned golden fell like silk over his shoulders. Now Henry looked truly wild- or powerful like a god- or both.
"I want you to take care'a me, Henry", Arthur said. He let the pin fall to the floor and felt himself melt into a rare state of helplessness. "Please"
Henry hummed and ran his hands up and down Arthur's chest. It wasn't often they took this position when they had sex. Most times Arthur moved over Henry and touched him, loved him, used him while Henry opened himself up to accept it all.
Even in their day to day life, Arthur shouldered the brunt of the responsibility and did the hardest of tasks when it came to keeping them alive. Henry worked hard too, but when it came to survival, Arthur tended to know best.
All that considered, Henry knew how to love Arthur. He knew how to care for him and was planning on doing just that.
He took a hold of Arthur's hand again and brought it to his mouth. Henry pursed his lips and let a rivulet of spit fall down to coat Arthurs fingers again. Then he maneuvered the hand between his legs and guided two fingers up against his entrance.
"keep your hand stiff", Henry said and once Arthur nodded in understanding he sank down onto his fingers in one motion taking them all the way to the last knuckle.
Henry's brow creased in concentration. They had no lubrication on hand, but he didn't want to go slow.
Still holding Arthur's hand in place, Henry began to move himself up and down with small movements of his hips. Arthur watched him fuck himself on his fingers and his cock ached for attention making a tent in the pants of his union suit. He wanted to touch himself badly but instead reached for Henry. He wrapped his hand around Henry's bouncing cock and felt the soft skin rub against his palm.
Henry let out a high pitched moan and Arthur knew he made the right choice. He had to do his part in helping Henry prep himself. The sooner his pretty love opened up for him, the sooner he would get his reward. Arthur was used to doling out pleasure and praise for Henry in bed. Now it was his turn to be a good boy.
Henry's eyes were sharp, watching his petite dick push in and out of Arthur's hand.
"Yer so sweet, Arthur", Henry cooed, his voice strained. "So smart. Thats j- just what I n- needed, hmmm. Im gonna take- oh- one more finger now. Be good and give me one more, sweetheart".
"Anythin' fer you", Arthur said and lined his third finger up as Henry slowed to take it.
Henry pushed down onto them and Arthur felt the muscles in his ass tense and then relax. He saw Henry hiss at the stretch and marveled at his ability to take pain in order to receive pleasure.
Slowly as Henry began to move again Arthur let his fingers curl. He felt inside the wet heat for a place he knew well enough by now and when he found it, pressed his fingers up against that sweet spot. Henry let out a cry.
He pressed his ass down on to Arthur's hand and rolled his hips in a hypnotic circular motion.
"Almost ready fer you", he said. He reached down and grabbed the scrunched up fabric of Arthur's suit and pulled it down his thighs.
Arthurs cock sprang free and Henry wasted no time getting his hands around it.
"I've missed you~", Henry said wolfishly like one might say to their favorite food. Arthur moaned in response and Henry began to pump his hard cock from bottom to top, pressing his thumb up against the vein on its underside. His tip was red and shiny with precum. The sudden stimulation made Arthurs entire body spasm and he faultered in his attention to Henry's hole, his fingers slipping loose with a slick squelch.
"s-sorry-" Arthur gasped between moans.
"yer alright, honey, you did good openin' me up for you", Henry said. "Now all's left for me to do is get you wet and ready for me".
Henry began to scoot back down the bed and lowered himself over Arthur.
He watched in rapture as Henry's shiny pink lips got closer and closer to his cock. Finally Henry pressed his face into Arthur's groin and rubbed his shaft up against his cheek. Henry's skin was so soft, but it couldn't compare to the searing wetness of his tongue as he dragged from Arthur's base all the way to his tip.
Then he pushed the tip past his lips and into his mouth. In small motions Henry bobbed his head pushing the flat of his tongue against Arthurs heavy head. Henry couldn't take much of him into his mouth, but he did his best, sucking and pushing his head down so Arthur could feel the roof of his mouth.
Only when Henry's eyes began to water did he bring his head back up. As his lips came back over the head all the built up saliva slipped from his mouth and ran down the sides of Arthur's cock. Henry spit again for good measure before spreading it evenly with his hands.
While Henry had had him in his mouth Arthur had been unsure of what to do with his hands. Usually he was pressing them into Henry, squeezing his soft flesh, holding his arms against the mattress. He wasn't used to having them free.
The idea of holding Henry's head while he sucked his cock felt so sacrilege that he finally stuck them beneath his back. It was Henry who was in control of Arthur's body and his pleasure, not the other way around.
When Henry raised his head to see Arthur with his hands tucked beneath him his face broke for a second, revealing an innocent look of surprise. Henry's cheeks flushed pink and his eyes grew big. Suddenly, he was struck with overwhelming love for the man beneath him.
Quickly he untucked Arthur's hands and brought them up to his face to kiss them. He pressed Arthur's palms against his warm cheeks and sighed.
"Yer so good, Arthur. So good to me", he said. "You take care of me so well. So perfect. And now you've been such a good boy".
Henry placed Arthur's hands on his slim waist and moved to straddle Arthur's hips.
"Even when I'm takin' care of you, yer bein' so sweet helpin' me get ready for you".
On his knees, Henry began to line himself up with Arthurs cock.
"hold me up, baby, I need your strong arms".
Slowly he pressed Arthur's tip against his hole and messaged it back and forth. Arthur moaned and had to fight to keep his eyes open as anticipation grew inside him.
Henry lowered himself down onto Arthur. Arthur felt that tight ring of muscle press over his cock head and his hips twitch up. Without meaning to, Arthur pressed a fourth of himself into Henry's hole.
Henry gasped and pressed his hands firmly into Arthur's chest for leverage.
"S-silly of me", Henry stuttered, "to think I had tamed a man so wild- ugh. I've had my way with you this whole time. It's only a matter'a time you start testin' me".
"Sorry, Henry, sorry", Arthur pleaded. He'd worked so hard to be good. He was so close to his prize.
"I know you can be good for me, Arthur", Henry said, running his hands through the hair on Arthur's chest. Soothing him.
"Now you can show me. I want you to pull me down onto you re~al slow. Go when I tell you and stop when I say so or else you might hurt me, understand?" Henry said. He did his best to sound strern, but he was panting and there was a tremor in his voice.
Arthur's hands tightened on his hips.
"I would never hurt you. never on purpose" Arthur said with a look in his eye that said please believe me.
"I know, baby, I know. I'm always safe with you. Yer so careful with me. Go ahead, pull me down a bit. Real slow- mmn! God, Arthur!" Henry moaned as Arthur pulled him slowly down. He wanted badly to push up into Henry all the way, to feel that all encompassing pressure squeeze around his cock until his balls were pressed up against Henry's plump ass.
"mmh so good, baby... Okay, hold on" Henry said. Arthur stilled. He trembled. He was about a third of the way in, but he stayed still.
Henry bit his bottom lip and his eyes fluttered closed as he breathed slowly through his nose. He reached down and wrapped one slender hand around his own dick and gave it a slow pump. Then he opened his eyes.
"See how sweet you are for me?" Henry said. "You spend so much time thinkin' about what to do, where to go, all of it. Now you don't have to think. Just listen real well and I'll help you feel good".
Henry told him to go again and he did, slowly. Inch by inch Henry took Arthur inside him. About half way down Arthur's arms began to shake with holding Henry up, as light as he was. Henry needed him to stop one more time to adjust and when there was only a bit left to go he adjusted his hands on Arthurs chest to hold his own weight.
"you've been perfect, honey. I'm almost there", Henry said. "You know you fill me up so tight. Even just this much and you hit all the right spots. My big man".
Arthur only moaned. His body buzzed with want and energy. It took all he had just to stay still. Just one hard thrust up and he would have all of him. Henry could tell he was reaching his limit.
Slowly he moved Arthurs hands from his waist down to rest on his thighs.
"I got you now, Arthur. No more workin'. No more fightin'. Jus' you and me now".
Then Henry began to rise. Much faster than when Arthur had been pushed inside him he felt Henry pull off of him. He made a tragically helpless noise. It felt good, that tight pressure pulling up on his cock, but it was the wrong direction. He wanted to be surrounded by Henry, completely seated in him. He wanted- he needed-
Henry rose up on his knees until the tip of Arthur's leaking cock sat snug inside his entrance and he breathed. His chest rose once, twice, and on the third exhale Henry sank. All at once he took Arthur down to his base.
Henry moaned and Arthur gave out a shout. Before Arthur could speak or even think, Henry began to move.
Steadily, he dragged himself up Arthur's cock and pushed himself down again. Arthur felt his head push and drag against the walls of Henry's hole. The muscles in Henry's thighs tensed and relaxed under Arthur's fingertips and as Henry bounced so did his hair. As Arthur looked up at him it seemed almost like Henry had wings.
Arthur pressed his head back into the bed. He gripped Henry's thighs tight and felt his release coming already. Distantly he worried he'd come too soon and leave Henry wanting more, but the thought came and went as Henry started to chant his name over and over again.
The heat, the pressure, the pace, all of it was exactly what Arthur needed. He felt a molten heat grow in his core. Over and over again, Henry fucked himself down onto him, rubbing every sensitive nerve of his dick and squeezing him tight.
Henry took his own cock in his hand again and started to tug himself off to the beat of his own bouncing on Arthur's.
"Arthur, Arthur- uhh- hm- ah!" Henry moaned and grunted in quick sticato as if Arthur's hardness was pushing the sound out of him.
"Henry", Arthur called out for him and Henry came, leaning down over him.
Henry's long hair fell like curtains around them Arthur could only look into his bottomless brown eyes. Each push into Henry brought a wave of pleasure down his cock and into his groin. He felt it zap up his spine and he arched his back, finally unable to resist the urge to move.
He wrapped his arms around Henry's back and thrust up into him wildly. He felt the thwack of Henry's dick hit his stomach and his own pelvis smack into the soft curve of Henry's ass over and over again.
Suddenly a mighty shudder took over his body and he grabbed Henry's ass with one hand pushing him down onto his cock as he bucked up in quick jagged thrusts.
When he came it felt like a tight ball of tension in his gut unspooled and the pressure of the past weeks left him weightless. Henry's hole tugged on Arthur's cock on every lift up. It was as if he was being pulled in and sucked dry. Arthur shouted as he spasmed and wave after wave of pleasure roller over him.
Henry let out a gutteral groan as he felt Arthur's cum turn his insides slick. He was still chasing his own release, but suddenly his legs felt like gelatin and he wasn't sure if he could move anymore. With a desperate whimper Henry began to rock himself down on Arthur's softening cock, thrusting into his own hand.
In his haze, Arthur heard Henry cry weakly and looked up to watch his face. Henry had his eyes shut. His cheeks were red and his forehead creased. Quick as a shooting star, a small tear slipped down his cheek and onto Arthur's chest.
With what energy he had left, Arthur sat up and reached between their bodies to wrap his hand around Henrys length. Arthur took over at a steady pace, pressed Henry's face into the crook of his neck, and rocked their bodies together.
"yer turn, Henry. Jus' let go now. Cum for me, Henry. I want you to cum for me, please"
Henry keened weekly and came apart. His small frame shook in Arthur's arms and his hands scrambled to hold on. His cock spasmed in Arthur's slowing hand. Then he finally stilled.
For a few brief moments the two were completely silent. When Henry resurfaced, his eyes were wet with tears. All that tension Arthur had been carrying, Henry had shouldered too.
"You did so good, Henry", Arthur said. He reached a hand up to wipe at Henry's cheek. "I'm sorry I left you alone. Were you scared?"
"A little, at first... I wasn't sure- I was worried that- what if-"
"Shhh", Arthur squeezed Henry tight against his chest. He pressed a kiss to the top of his head, his cheek. On his lips he lingered just a bit longer. "You did perfect. I'm fit as a fiddle now, baby. And my 'get well' present was mighty fine too".
That got Arthur a smile. Good.
Slowly, he laid Henry down onto the bed, placing soft kisses as they went.
"you rest now," Arthur said.
"okay..." Henry sighed and closed his eyes without a fight.
When he finally drifted off, Arthur pulled his union suit the rest of the way off and used it to wipe Henry clean. Then he stoked the fire to keep it going and crawled back into bed. Arthur pulled Henry to him and swaddled them in blankets. Soon they'd go out into the cold again, but for now they would rest in the safety of each other's arms.
