[that sudden crest of movement from the hard body beneath him feels so fucking good that he tightens against mihawk all over, greedy and squirming - but a moment later that husky voice at his ear brings him to shivering stillness. the fucking god yes is nearly out of his mouth before he catches it, open mouth pressed to mihawk's chest; funny how well his big red nose fits into the dip of a clavicle. just strange buggy things.
those relentless fingers are making it impossible to catch his breath. even shy of the sweet spot, mihawk is fingering him like he already knows his emperor's insides better than the emperor himself does, and buggy is aching - his threshold for teasing is notoriously low, after all. it's especially disorienting at a time when buggy needs to think straight. doesn't he have to advocate for himself here? why can't he have everything he wants all the time?
then again, something is definitely better than nothing. and when mihawk brought his voice low like that, buggy had caught the implicit directive immediately, or at least his body caught it for him, his panting gasps now rising no higher than a whimper.]
...I wanna come on your chest, with your cock inside me.
[one last breathless attempt to be a brat, but he's already half-reined in. even his hips have stopped moving, angling more to take the fingers deeper instead. buggy's shameless hands still massage mihawk's chest, and his fingers catch the same nipple, twisting until it pebbles.]
I wanna come. [bottom line here. mihawk said he wouldn't hurt him, and he's pretty sure blue balls would kill him, so that must count.] Mihawk, please... please, make me come, please, make me fucking come.
[ Mihawk is doing his damndest not to think about how Buggy could be tightening like this around his cock instead of his fingers. Of course, the clown isn't helping with that at all, dragging an irritated groan of longing out of the older man. It would hurt them both, but there's no doubting it'd be a good place to finish...
The thing is he already made a decision about how this ends for Buggy when he had more blood in his brain. Experience has told him to stick to that sort of planning as opposed to giving in to temptations like these. If you'd told him a month ago he'd consider Buggy, of all pirates, a temptation, Hawk Eyes would have laughed; then he probably would have killed whatever soothsayer clearly didn't value their life enough to keep their mouth shut. Nevertheless, here he is, arching underneath the bastard's hands as he has his torso toyed with, giving serious thought to actually fucking at some point.
Maybe it's just been so long since the last time he had a man in his lap or his bed that he's getting desperate. But listening to Buggy begging for release in those soft, broken little whines sure is sweet. Mihawk finds he much prefers it to the wailing coward groveling for his life.
He's practically purring about it. ]
Very good.
[ And with that, his fingers gain even more speed inside of Buggy, arching and twisting up against that prostate while burying themselves up to the last knuckle. It shouldn't be a surprise that the swordmaster is dexterous and good at putting his wrist to work without tiring it out. All the while, Mihawk's arms tighten around the younger man, both to keep him from struggling away when he probably loses some control over his body thanks to the stimulation and also to muffle whatever sounds are to be produced. He'll wait until he feels the other tightening up to what seems like a limit before speaking again. ]
Come.
[ The command comes with Mihawk tightening his abdomen and grinding against the other's trapped cock. Simultaneously, he curls his fingers directly over that sweet spot, giving a beckoning sort of gesture that knuckles down into it over and over to try and milk the orgasm right out of its owner. ]
[too bad for buggy that he's slipped past the point of appreciating the effect he's having on mihawk, but only because he's becoming borderline senseless thanks to the effect mihawk is having on him. he's tuned right in to the sound of the older man's voice, however, feeling it rumbling in his chest when he tells buggy he did good. it makes him dig his fingers in wherever they are, clawing for a better grip on the only solid thing he's aware of before those fingers catch up--]
Ahh-hh, fuck--
[the strength of mihawk's arm around him keeps buggy from writhing off his chest, but it's the fingers inside him that punch the air out of his lungs in time to stop that moan of relief from climbing too high. he tries to ride into it at first, but it quickly becomes more than he can take, until he's clinging to mihawk and humping his lap because the fingers ruthlessly targeting the most sensitive spot inside him demand it. he's quiet because mihawk wants him quiet, but not silent at all; every twist of those demonic fingers draws another panting whine out of him, pressed tighter and tighter into the dark shadow under the swordsman's chin.
it's not the railing he was hoping for, but good god he'll fucking take it. no surprise that the world's greatest swordsman is incredibly good with his hands.]
Mihawk...!
[hard to say if it's the command or the hard pulse between his legs that does it. buggy comes, helpless, shooting high on mihawk's stomach and bucking hard into the mess, a distinctly pornographic sound muffled by one detached fist. he quakes in the older man's arms with increasingly wanton gasps of intense pleasure, digging his knuckles against his teeth until mihawk lets him come down.]
[ Since Buggy isn't noticing how much he's affecting Mihawk, he probably also won't notice that the older man's chest has become a bit tougher to dig his nails into as Hawk Eyes sends armament haki to course over his skin. He's not walking away from this with clown claw marks on his bare chest, thank you. No one else needs to know what they get up to, which is also why he's trying to keep Buggy quiet. Sure, a bunch of drunk pirates could feasibly believe the beach is haunted if they catch howling on the wind, but it's not worth risking. Besides, it also means this little breakdown is all for him.
It is incredibly erotic, hearing his name like that and how Buggy comes apart while Mihawk forcibly holds him together. He notes the disembodied hand, the heightening cries muffled into it even as the warm feeling of cum ceases to lance up his belly. He knows that just like he made Buggy beg him for release, he could keep going and make him beg Mihawk for mercy from the same sort of pleasure. It's tempting. He ends up splitting the difference and continues to rub against that prostate a second or so longer after it seems like he's gotten everything out of the younger man. Only then does he relent.
He's so turned on right now there's a fine tremor in his arm as he withdraws his fingers from Buggy, giving his brat a moment to catch his breath while he wipes them off on the other man's shorts. His own breath comes out in audible pants that have nothing to do with exertion and everything to do with trying to stabilize himself. It's a wonder he hasn't gotten off yet, but he won't be leaving that the case for much longer.
His hand now comes up to cup beneath Buggy's chin, turning his face to look up at Mihawk. The amber gaze is dark with his arousal, and for the same reason intense with need. Somehow, he manages to keep his voice that same sort of quiet for the next demand. ]
[he'd only just started to worry that mihawk might not actually let him come down when he was finally allowed to do so, and when mihawk's fingers slide out of him, buggy goes fully limp against his chest with a whimper. when mihawk tilts him up by the chin, the green eyes that meet molten gold are glazed and unfocused, like he's not actually seeing mihawk at all, when in fact he's not seeing anything else. it takes him a second to even acknowledge that he heard the order, but then he nods, unthinkingly catching his lip between his teeth.
it would be a tall fucking order to climb out of mihawk's lap right now with any sort of coordination or dignity, so buggy opts for an efficient but mildly grotesque workaround. he simply goes in pieces: feet first, shins, thighs, then hips, reforming on his knees between mihawk's spread legs, still tingling. the rest of buggy's body glides down easily to make him whole, rubbing some of his own come off on himself, and the second his mouth is low enough he licks the streaks from rippled muscle, more eager than thorough because he knows where his priorities are.
at least he gets to show mihawk's dick a nice time before the night is over, even if it isn't exactly the way he wanted.
still faintly trembling from stimulation, buggy takes mihawk's cock into his mouth without teasing, without performance, just a ragged gasp because it's so searing hot against his tongue. it's unbelievable to him that mihawk can be this hard and still composed enough to have buggy service him, but it makes the clown even more eager to provide it. doesn't matter that his bones are liquid - he tucks his arms over the older man's thighs and bobs his warm mouth to lick and suck the shaft clean, with low hums of pleasure.]
[ It's honestly one of the most lurid things he has ever seen, and of course Mihawk has seen just about everything a blade can do to the human body. He has never seen one riffle-shuffle itself like a pack of fucking cards, but that is exactly what he thinks of seeing Buggy relocate between his thighs - some magician's close-up "magic" trick. He's spellbound, and at this point too horny to possibly be dissuaded.
Feeling and seeing the warmth of that tongue laving up the semen on his belly is just as sinful as he thought it'd be. Ah, yes. This is one of the reasons why he fucks pirates - most of them aren't afraid to get filthy and perform acts he personally wouldn't. ]
Perfect...
[ It's as if the other man read his mind. He does not even realize he has said it out loud. Mihawk is too busy seeing what he fantasized play out, the lack of much recovery time after orgasm keeping the clown pliant and eager to please. One hand laces its fingers into that thick, cotton candy hair, shaping over the back of Buggy's skull. The other hand comes up to try and clasp over his own mouth, though not fast enough to completely catch the moan that melts out of him. It doesn't take longer than a few more of those contented bobs before Mihawk's hand is tightening in Buggy's hair to keep him in place while the swordmaster finally comes, breath falling out of the cage of his fingers in shuddery relief.
Buggy might not have gotten exactly what he wanted, but Mihawk sure did. Evidently it was his show after all. ]
[surely nothing has ever sounded as good as that perfect, judging by the ripple of tingling pleasure that goes through the clown emperor to hear it. buggy purrs when that hand slides into his hair, satisfying one of his own recurring fantasies in the process, and when it tightens he immediately lets his jaw go slack so he can take as much as the other man wants to give. although his hands do slip a little higher to feel the muscular abdomen go taut when mihawk comes down his throat for the second time.
it's the moan for him. he would really like to hear mihawk moan like that again.
buggy swallows it all, and makes sure to suck him clean. if mihawk holds him in place longer than that, he'll take it, but as soon as he can release the man's cock from his mouth, he'll slump between his legs, panting for breath. the slightest breeze makes his flushed skin quiver and he's sort of seeing double at the moment, but one thing is important to note:]
[ When his cock finally stops pulsing inside the younger man and the stupendous force of his orgasm turns him loose, Mihawk himself slumps to the side in his throne, caught by the elbow of the hand covering his mouth. He can't help a shiver from that final suck over his sensitive skin, and doesn't protest Buggy letting him go even if that hand stays in his hair, fingers relaxed enough to give implicit permission to do so.
For a moment, it seems the only sounds are the attempt to settle their breathing and the steady waft of it from the sea lapping the shore. When Buggy breaks the silence, Mihawk gives a low, humming note; he knows. His eyes blink slowly, smug as a cat on the sill after a meal. The fingers in Buggy's hair shift over his scalp, giving it silently praising little strokes as if the clown is the pet; to be fair, he has spent a significant time now in Mihawk's lap. ]
Mm. I believe that was your best performance yet. Hand me that rag, will you?
[ He means the leftover tatters of Buggy's undershirt. It had been one of the options he thought of when he'd given the command to clean him up - he's glad Buggy either hadn't considered it all or had decided against using it at the time. Now, though, he'll finish the job the tongue bath didn't quite get. ]
[the fingers in his hair are already melting him further over mihawk's lap, practically purring all over again, admiring the sheen over mihawk's skin in the strange light and absolutely basking in the positive attention. he's running one hand rather drunkenly over the curve of a pale hipbone when mihawk prompts him for the rag, and for a second it's clear in the way buggy looks at him that he has no idea what he's talking about. then--]
Oh. You mean my favorite shirt ever, that you ruined.
[repeat: he does not give a fuck about that shirt; it died for a worthy cause. buggy sends a hand groping across the deck to find it, not wanting to turn away from the erotic tableau of mihawk lounging like a panther with red lipstick all over his chest and stomach and cock. the moon, the candles, the shifting sea - it almost feels like some kind of ritual has taken place. very gothic, incredibly sexy. oh yeah, the critics love this one.
buggy nudges the shirt/rag into mihawk's hand, nuzzling his cheek against the older man's thigh like he's making himself comfortable. he is, but not for very long.]
[ For whatever reason, Mihawk tolerates what seems like a reverent touch over his skin. He puffs a breath, unrepentant. ]
It looked as if it were the only shirt you ever had. You can afford a new one.
[ Mihawk reluctantly lifts his head from his hand to accept the cloth, beginning to wipe off what he can see of the incriminating red lip prints at the top of his torso and working his way down. He'll have to do a more thorough job later, but this will do; the panther lazily grooming his coat clean. Ritual or not, they were definitely out here doing something unholy together.
As Buggy sets his cheek against his thigh, the older man brushes a few stray strands of blue from his face. Absently, his thumb finds the blue brow to trace, wondering if this too is makeup or if Buggy actually dyed the hairs. ]
[he considers insisting that mihawk replace it, but decides not to push his luck without the swordsman having a better sense of humor. buggy wouldn't let anyone shy of his shadow rulers tear his clothes off of him without pitching a fit; with mihawk or crocodile, it's simply an acceptable loss on the road to greater riches. he's determined to get the hang of this cross guild thing, one way or the other.
an eyebrow lifts slowly under the light touch; the color, like many of his other distinguishing features, is real. buggy grins.]
About celebrating like this more often.
[about fucking me would have been the more direct answer, but buggy deliberately doesn't say it. he can't help wondering if mihawk actually would think about that if he didn't mention it, after tonight - and he refuses to beg twice without a good reason. not even when mihawk is lightly brushing the hair out of his face, making his skin tingle.
before the rag cleans too low, the clown tucks the swordsman's cock, still ringed with lipstick, back into his pants and closes them up.]
[ Sense of humor or not, Mihawk did tear it. He had actually considered offering to replace it before rather stubbornly deciding it was a favor to rip it in the first place. Buggy might have been able to convince him.
But it seems those green eyes are set on a bigger prize. Mihawk's yellow pair narrow a bit at that grin, shrewd. Before he can answer, he's swallowing it with a surprised little grunt and sitting straighter in his seat as the clown proceeds to tuck him away, apparently still a little sensitive. The clown is lucky he didn't just get swatted with the cum rag.
Settling back in the next moment with a sigh, he draws both arms back to settle on those of the throne, considering the little emperor at his feet with a cock of his head. ]
I'm open to more being earned in the future. I think it's possible we can do better than even this victory.
[ But Mihawk feels this about just about everything he involves himself in. There is a reason he stands above others. God, it's good to have a project again... ]
[worth getting swatted with a cum rag to protect one of his finer artistic pieces to date, but evading consequence is even more exciting. when mihawk sits back, buggy finally does too, rocking back on his knees to pull his boxer-briefs back up his hips, tucking himself away as well. his grin widens.]
You and me both!
[they're gathering momentum, slowly but surely - maybe not even that slowly, considering. buggy can't wait to see how the news reports on the loss of the marine fort; with the cruise ship being taken and released so close by, there's no chance of the story not breaking across the new world. it's excruciating to have to bow and scrape and claw for every single victory, but given the alternative, he's willing to grin and bear it (so to speak).
gloves, costume, hat... accounted for. he'll collect himself shortly, and toss the rag into the bonfire on his way back to his ship.]
