While Ragnar chooses which root would be best for them, Athelstan walks slowly around the clearing, fascinated by the unfamiliar nature.

"And I like that," Ragnar says, with a little gasp when Athelstan touches a more sensitive bit.

[athelstanthescribe]

Encouraged, he replaces his fingers with his lips at that particular spot.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Now, it's time for Ragnar to tilt back his head and moan with pleasure.

[athelstanthescribe]

Athelstan looks pleased and keeps doing the same thing.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar moans, and his hands on Athelstan's skin get more erratic.

[athelstanthescribe]

"I didn't think", Athelstan says, tongue flickering on his skin, "you'd be so easy to please."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Touch me right," Ragnar says, "and I'm very, very easy."

[athelstanthescribe]

"I'll remember that", he murmurs.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"I'm sure you will," Ragnar says. "Ahhh - yes! That!"

[athelstanthescribe]

"That?" He looks up with wide blue eyes, then nips at Ragnar's skin. "You mean that?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Yes, that!" Ragnar says, obviously very happy with the way he's being touched.

His jeans are getting tight around his groin already.

"You're making me shameless", Athelstan says, and licks a long stripe along Ragnar's chest. "And I don't care, as long as I'm with you."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"There's no reason -- ahh, yes!! -- for shame -- between us!"

[athelstanthescribe]

"And I'm trying not to be." Another lick, finishing at Ragnar's nipple. "But you know..."

He doesn't want to think about that.

[bigarmy_strangepants]

This gets a loud moan from Ragnar. "I know," he gasps. "It's not easily -- wiped in a few days."

[athelstanthescribe]

Athelstan focuses on that tender spot, speaking against it.

"I don't want to just write off my family, either. Not if they'll still speak to me."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar now manages to put both his hands on Athelstan's shoulders again.

"Of course not," he says. "But you won't want them to put you back in that cage."

[athelstanthescribe]

"I'll never let them do that with you by my side." He's sure of that. "But they're my family. My uncle took me in as an orphaned kid who wouldn't talk for half a year, and he maybe wasn't the best parent, but he tried."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

Ragnar pulls him up into his arms and kisses him deeply. "Of course not. I'd never want you to tear yourself apart like that."

[athelstanthescribe]

"If they can't accept me", he says softly after the kiss, "then that's that. But I think at least my cousins might."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Are they male or female?" Ragnar asks.

[athelstanthescribe]

"Male. But we grew up like brothers."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"So you hope they'll care about you more than they care about being self-righteous?" Ragnar says. "Any good brother will."

[athelstanthescribe]

"I hope so", he says quietly. "We always took care of each other."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"I hope they'll keep doing so," Ragnar says, leaning in for a warm, gentle kiss. "It would be horrible to lose everything you've known, even if your church might want to lose you. We'll find you another church. Isn't there some quote about many rooms in God's house? I'm sure they're one less drafty."
