"It’s not everyday I go to the city," Cyno sighed. He reached into his bag and pulled out a cloak,"It’s incredibly cold here…" Every January, there was always a Genius Invocation TCG tournament at Lambard’s Tavern. It was the only time of year Cyno ever drank any sort of liquor. At this point, he was passing by Bimarstan.
"The Akademiya’s approved this already, who would’ve thought Kalpalata Lotus’s are useful for medicinal purposes? Here, you just rip the leaf in half and pour out the juice. If you let it sit for about an hour or two, it’ll dry up and leave some grainy blue stuff. Eat them with water, it cures fevers."
"Thank you Sir Forest Ranger… I greatly appreciate it!"
"It’s no problem, I’m happy to help," Tighnari smiled at the Bimarstan worker. He walked away, and as he was going down from Birmarstan to the main road, he noticed Cyno.
"Oh, Cyno! … What brings you to the city? I thought you quit working with the Akademiya?" Tighnari’s ears perked up at the sight of his friend. "Ah no," Cyno shook his head," After the whole debacle with Lesser Lord Kusanali I joined back with them. But I’m here on personal business."
"Would it be inappropriate to ask what you’re doing?" Tighnari asked, tilting his head curiously. Cyno shook his head," Not in the least, I’m here for the Spring TCG tournament." "Ah… of course, I could’ve figured," Tighnari laughed," Doesn’t that start tonight?" Cyno nodded.
"Well… could I accompany you? I’ve finished work for today, and I haven’t played
a game in a while," Tighnari said. "Of course, even if I said no I couldn’t stop you from entering the tournament," Cyno smiled at him, and the two began walking to the tavern.
When they got there, the whole place was entirely packed.
"How many minutes until it starts?" Tighnari asks. Cyno pulled out a pocket watch and said," About five more, we have time to sign up, don’t worry!"
The first round, both Cyno and Tighnari won their matches. There were a lot more contestants this year than any previous ones, so it was going to be spanning across multiple days. The first day, Cyno and Tighnari had five matches. Cyno won all five, and Tighnari unfortunately lost his last one, which meant he was out.
It was already almost 20:00 when they were finished. "So I’ll see you tomorrow, Tighnari?" Cyno said. "Yes…. but, are you really going to be walking all the way back home in the dark? Then come back in the morning? Doesn’t that seem illogical?" Tighnari bombarded him with questions, obviously concerned for Cyno’s wellbeing.
"I’ll be fine, Nari. I know the desert like the back of my hand, and my home’s only three hours away," He attempted to assure Tighnari, but he obviously didn’t like that answer. Tighnari shook his head," Avidya Forest is only an hour away. I’m sure it’s easier for me to navigate the forest than for you to navigate the ever changing desert, no offense. Would you like to stay with me tonight?"
"Are you sure? I’d hate to intrude…" Cyno said. "I’m positive, but if you’re really going to be that stubborn then I revoke my invite," Tighnari crossed his arms and looked away jokingly. "Alright alright, I’ll stay with you tonight," Cyno laughed.
As the two walked to Tighnari’s home, Cyno talked about TCG half the time, and Tighnari talked about plants the other half of the time. While Tighnari somewhat had an idea of what Cyno was talking about, Cyno knew nothing about plants. Yet he still listened anyway, because he found it endearing that Tighnari trusted him enough to just rant about whatever he likes.
"Oh, where’s Collei? I thought she was staying with you?" Cyno said. "Oh my… did I forget to tell you? Her Elzear is gone! She’s gone to stay in the city for a bit," Tighnari smiles. Cyno gasps," Really? That’s amazing! Oh dear… I’m sorry that I missed it, Nari. The next time I spot her I’ll treat her to a present. Perhaps I could give her a matching sewed bunny for the one I got her for her birthday!"
Tighnari laughs,"That’s very sweet of you."
"Good night, Tighnari, see you in the morning," Cyno and Tighnari had talked a bit more before Cyno layed down on the ground, and said good night.
"Cyno… you’re my guest, I can’t just simply let you lay on the floor!" Tighnari complained. "Then what do you suggest I do?" Cyno questioned . "Lay on my bed, I’ll stay on the ground," Tighnari crosses his arms, showing he’s going to be incredibly stubborn about this.
"... I would feel incredibly bad, though," Cyno sighs,"I believe we’re close enough
friends, would it be awkward if we were to sleep next to each other?" "Hm…. I certainly wouldn’t mind. Anything to let you not sleep on the floor," Tighnari sighed.
Cyno took off his cloak and laid down on the bed next to Tighnari. He sighed,"Good night Cyno." "You as well, Nari."
A few minutes later, Tighnari had wrapped his tail around Cyno. He of course did not object to it, Tighnari’s tail was quite soft and Cyno actually enjoyed it. "... Nari are you shivering?" He could feel him shaking. "Huh? Oh… yes, I am… It gets a bit cold at night here," Tighnari replied. "Would it be alright if I wrapped my arms around you then…? It may help with warmth," Cyno said. Tighnari hesitantly said yes. Cyno promptly wrapped his arms around Tighnari’s waist.
"Thank you…" Tighnari wrapped his tail entirely around Cyno now, and laid his head in the crook of Cyno’s neck. Cyno nodded,"Of course." The two fell asleep, but before Cyno fell asleep he noticed Tighnari purring. He found it incredibly cute…
In the middle of the night, something woke up Cyno. There was something putting pressure against his leg. "...Nari?"
"...yeah?" Tighnari was whimpering. "Is everything alright?" Cyno asked.
"... I’m fine," His voice was quiet. Cyno looked at Tighnari and he noticed his face was entirely flushed. "Are you sure? You seem like you have a fever," Cyno put a hand on Tighnari’s forehead. "Don’t touch me!" Tighnari moved a bit back, his voice somewhat strange. "Ah… I’m sorry," Cyno scooted back a bit.
"I just…" Tighnari looked away from Cyno. "Do you want me to leave?" He asks. "No, no, its fine, I’m just…" Tighnari groans and mutters something,"Why did it have to be right now…"
"Nari what are you talking abo-" Cyno got cut off by Tighnari slapping a hand over his own mouth and moaning into it. "I’m sorry… You can leave…" Tighnari said.
"... oh," Cyno was completely shellshocked, he had no clue what to do in this scenario,"But my question still stands… are you alright?" "No…. no not really, I…" Tighnari seems like he’s struggling to speak. Tighnari’s ears were flattened, and he was starting to sweat.
"Then I’m not leaving, I don’t want to leave you in such a state without helping…" Cyno said,"If you’d let me." Tighnari took a moment, then slowly nodded. "So… what would you like me to do, Nari?" He asked, looking slightly concerned for him.
"Anything… just put your hands on me… please," Tighnari requested. Cyno
nodded and softly put his hands up Tighnari’s shirt, putting his hands on either side of his waist.
At this point, Tighnari’s tail was wagging, and he was struggling to keep quiet. He had already wrapped his legs against one of Cyno’s. Tighnari was rubbing the dent in his pants up against Cyno’s leg. Just a few moments after Cyno put his hands up Tighnari’s shirt, Tighnari grabbed Cyno’s hands and made them trail all the way up to his chest.
"Are you sure this is alright…?" Tighnari stared at Cyno almost desperately. Cyno nodded, not minding in the least, and even maybe enjoying it a bit. Tighnari had taken off his shirt, and after a few moments of caressing his chest, Cyno finally remembered what Tighnari was doing with his legs. He pressed his right leg against Tighnari’s crotch much harder, and that made Tighnari moan much more than before.
"Cyno… please…" He whimpered, his ears flattening even more as he tilted his head back from pleasure. "Hm…? Please what?" Cyno asked. He’d never been in this situation before, and he hadn’t imagined it with another man, much less Tighnari… so he had no clue what to do to help him. Tighnari had started undoing his own pants, but Cyno stopped him. "Ah, it’s alright. I understand what you mean now," Cyno batted Tighnari’s hand away, then took off his pants himself.
Tighnari’s tail went between his legs instinctively. "Ah… do you not want me to?" Cyno asked. Tighnari tried taking a deep breath, but he was still shaking," No I do it’s just…. Nobody’s ever helped me with this before." Cyno nods and softly moves Tighnari’s tail out of the way.
He grabbed Tighnari’s thighs and spread his legs gently. Tighnari whined,"Cyno! Hurry up…" "Be patient, Nari," He said softly,"I’ve never done this before." "Okay…" Tighnari’s tail was still wagging, brushing up against Cyno’s bare chest because he literally never puts on a shirt. Cyno began palming him through Tighnari’s underwear. Tighnari covered his mouth and let out a choked moan.
"That’s enough teasing…" Tighnari’s face was completely red at this point. Half of it was out of embarrassment, while the other half of it was from pleasure. Cyno nodded, then slowly slid off Tighnari’s underwear. He looked away out of embarrassment and respect.
Tighnari looked down at his now exposed self, then looked back up at Cyno who was incredibly close. "It’s alright… We can stop I’ll just-" "No, Nari. It’s fine I just…" Cyno sighed,"Needed a moment to get my bearings together." He looked back, then drew a few circles on the tip with his finger.
Tighnari shuddered and grabbed onto Cyno’s shoulders. Cyno took two fingers and slowly moved downward, tracing the veins. It was soft enough to not make much of a difference, but at this moment Tighnari was sensitive to anything and everything. "I thought I told you t-to stop teasing…" His thighs tightened up, and reflexively attempted to make his legs close, but Cyno was keeping them open.
"I can’t help it! I need to see how you react to everything…" Cyno was definitely into it now, he couldn’t help it. "... You’re testing my patience…" Tighnari looked away from what was happening.
Cyno cupped his whole hand around it, then slowly started jerking Tighnari off. The unexpected gesture sent a jolt through Tighnari, and his ears stood straight up as he started to moan. He covered his mouth, but that wasn’t enough, Cyno could still hear it.
"A-ah… Cyno…" This was definitely not what he thought would happen when he asked if he could tag along with Cyno to the TCG tournament…
Tighnari was already leaking pre-cum, and it looked as if he’d bust any second, so Cyno stopped. "What are you doing!?" Tighnari was very upset, he seemed about ready to snap at Cyno. He would’ve if he wasn’t in such a demeaning position. "... Roll over, Nari," Cyno figured that he was the dominant one in this situation, so it wouldn’t hurt to have fun as well, right?
Tighnari reluctantly did as he was told. Cyno got onto his knees behind him, and grabbed onto Tighnari’s waist with one hand. He arched his back while his cock was throbbing to the point it was almost going to be painful if he didn’t get a release that very second. Cyno put in a finger, not moving just so Tighnari could get a feel for it. He let out a soft moan. Cyno then put in one more, then another one. Each time Tighnari got a bit louder, until Cyno started moving them, at that point he was whimpering and practically begging for more until his voice got hoarse.
