FEW WORD DO SAME TRICK
As the sun dips low, a light flares on from a lone cave, off to the side of a large town.
“Dark,” Gale growls, as he stalks the length of the space. “Dark.”
It is not just dark – it is cold. But the heat does not harm him, as he is smart. The most smart man of his time. He makes tools, he makes light. He makes warm. For only him, as he has no one to share it with.
“Time for rest.”
When he goes to lie down, though, a strange man sits at his bed. He wears a skin suit – it looks quite nice. Gale frowns, thick brow creased. But how odd. Why is he here?
Hot or not, he is strange. Gale does not know him.
“Who you?”
“Astarion.”
Name long. Gale no likes.
“Ass.” He is pleased. Ah, more short. More good.
The man does not seem to think so. He scowls and tries to give new name.
“Star?”
Gale shakes his head. “Ass.”
A sigh. “Why?” Bright eyes meet his.
“Ass flat like wall.”
The man looks to the side. He seems to think, then shrugs.
“Okay. Ass.” Then, in a low voice that he thinks Gale can’t hear, “Dumb.”
He is not dumb. He is smart! Most smart in town. And since he is smart, it then dawns on him that he knows not why this man is here.
“Why you in my cave?”
The man turns pink; it is quite cute. “Cold,” he says, with a sniff. He holds up a slab of meat, and shows it to Gale. “I hunt for us?”
Ah. He brings gift. He must be here since cave is warm, and Gale is smart. The most smart man in the –
“You know you say that out loud?”
Did he? Oops.
“Cave cold,” Gale says, proud. “Here warm. Come lie.”
Ass does not look sure. “Lie?”
Gale nods and pats the floor. “Just sleep. Warm?”
“Okay.”
He is smart, but he talks a lot. So, he has few friends. Of course, he had friend once. Very good friend. But she left him, and his cave, and his light. Since then, even fire could not make cave feel warm.
Til now. This man makes him warm once more.
His new friend gives him a smile and lies down by his side. A cold hand links with his.
“I ran off,” Ass says, voice soft. “No home now.”
“Home with me, now.”
There is hope in his voice, hope that makes his heart go ba-dum, ba-dum. Or as his pet - no, friend rex says: ‘un-ga, bun-ga’. New friend smells nice, Gale wants him to stay.
“Here warm,” Ass says. He pokes Gale. “But need more warm.”
Gale holds out his arms. Ass nods, and Gale hugs him.
“Good?”
“Yes.”
They are very warm. But Gale, now, is in a tight spot. He looks down. His cock pokes out through his torn skirt, as though it is saying “Hi!”
“You a bit hard,” Ass notes. He looks … pleased.
“You cute,” Gale says, as his face goes hot. “Even with flat ass.”
“I flat ass,” Ass says. “You fat cock.”
Gale preens. He can work with that.
“My club big,” he nods. “And long. And hard.” Like his tools.
He wants to say more, but Ass puts hand on his mouth.
“No talk.”
Gale blushes. “No talk?”
“Few words do same trick,” Ass says, his smile coy. “Unga Bunga, darling.”
“And you want?”
Ass nods. “I want.”
They rut fast, hot mouths in sync, cocks wet and slick. Ass moans, his voice low, and Gale feels his heart grow ten times, as well as his prick.
Soft pants fill the cave, through the dark, through the cold. Gale grips Ass on his - well, ass, and Ass moans. He speeds up, a hitched breath in his throat, and then spills on top of Gale.
“Paint you,” he pants. “Paint you like cave wall.”
Ass is good cave man, Gale thinks. Ass hunts, and Ass claims. He claims Gale, and Gale likes. The thought shoves him to the edge, and as Gale comes, there is only one thing he can think of:
“UNGA BUNGA!”
(check out the rest of the collection here; it's open, so you could even add to it!)
Star is cold and hurt. Feels unsafe. Gale has warm, dry cave. Feels safe. Maybe Star can stay?
For @dumptruck
This is my contribution to the "Baldur's Cave / Unga Bunga Darling" collection. I love Astarion & Gale so much, no matter what universe they're thrown into. It's basically the "would you still love me if I'm a worm" question. Obviously, the answer's yes.
