Read this piece’s entry on the Shousetsu Bang*Bang wiki.<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a dark and stormy night. Which, to be fair, described many nights in late-October Indiana, assuming they weren\u2019t instead swelteringly hot. But Ada, Fen\u2019s perfectly sensible and not-at-all-prone-to-ridiculous-flights-of-fancy-like-holding-an-outdoor-Halloween-wedding twin sister, had decided she wanted to get married next to the cemetery where their grandparents, bless them, were buried, so they too could attend her wedding. This left Fen in the position of driving to Indiana from his cheap-for-New-York-City apartment just as the weather remembered autumn started a month ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daisy, Fen\u2019s car, had been on her last legs for months now, but the old girl held up great for the first leg of the journey. She sputtered a bit in Pittsburgh and started to really complain around Columbus, but she got him to the Indiana state border before she finally gave up. This wouldn\u2019t have been a disaster had Fen remembered to charge his cell phone before setting out. But since he\u2019d broken up with Charles, he\u2019d been trying the whole \u2018spending less time on social media\u2019 thing and had gotten in the habit of leaving his cell phone unplugged to resist the temptation, which was a terrible habit to have when one\u2019s phone was a seven-year-old dinosaur with battery issues. He greatly regretted the habit now. He also regretted letting Charles be responsible for buying their plane tickets (and maybe Fen shouldn\u2019t have let the break-up distract him from trying to buy them himself, but he had, and when he stopped being distracted the price had ballooned outside of his shoestring budget, but Fen was not thinking about that now).<\/span><\/p>\n

There was the option to sleep in Daisy and wave down someone to help him out in the morning. It would have even been a good option, if he hadn\u2019t promised to call Ada when he arrived at his hotel. Ada was already stressed trying to keep peace between their stuffy relatives and her \u201ccoastal\u201d in-laws, and Fen was already showing up single after she\u2019d caused a minor family feud to ensure he could bring Charles.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019d been a \u201cmotel 10 miles\u201d sign about five miles ago; he could walk the rest of the way. Two miles in it started to pour, but Fen was no quitter. Thus, drenched to the bone, he found himself walking into the Enchanted Collective \u2014 what was enchanting about a <\/span>motel<\/span><\/i>? \u2014 and seeing a soaking wet couple already at the front desk. The desk attendant blinked up at him, then looked at the couple, before looking back at him. \u201cI\u2019m afraid I just gave out our last room,\u201d she said, voice thick with a midwestern accent. \u201cSorry, sweetheart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen opened his mouth. <\/span>Since when did Indiana motels get sold out?<\/span><\/i> he didn\u2019t ask. \u201cThat\u2019s alright\u2026 Could I maybe use your phone, then? I just need to get ahold of my sister.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The desk attendant gave him a pitying look. \u201cOh, dear I would let you but, with the storm and all, seems like there\u2019s no connection on our end.\u201d She turned her head towards the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two, Fen noted, as his head swam with <\/span>what do you mean no connection? <\/span><\/i>were inhumanly gorgeous. One was the definition of tall-dark-and-handsome: he had long hair the rich brown of fertile dirt (though without the stench of fertilizer; what cologne did this guy use? It smelled incredible) tied up in a trendy man-bun, with one damp curl escaping and landing perfectly to draw attention to eyes so tawny, Fen could almost call them golden. The other only reached up to her\u2014 his?\u2014 <\/span>their<\/span><\/i> partner\u2019s shoulder and had an asymmetric purple bob that looked a bit jarring in the dated, paisley-printed motel lobby. They had the kind of sharp cheekbones Fen had always envied, and lips so full they would make Dr. Frank-N-Furter want fillers. If Fen wasn\u2019t desperate, he\u2019d have asked what a pair like this was doing in bum-fuck nowhere Indiana. Instead, he asked, \u201cNeither of you would happen to have a working cell, would you?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The two exchanged looks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo, unfortunately not.\u201d The tall one gave Fen an apologetic smile without so much as reaching into his pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we wouldn\u2019t be against allowing you to share our room for the night,\u201d the short one added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUm,\u201d the desk attendant piped up, \u201cthere\u2019s only one bed in your room.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The short one blinked. \u201cYes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Was\u2026 was Fen being picked up here? He looked down at himself. The black t-shirt he wore was clinging to him, but not in a flattering way that showed off the abs he lacked. His Docs were covered in road mud, and he\u2019d heard from the somehow-born-after-9\/11 bartender who’d given him free pity drinks after his break-up that skinny jeans were now considered dated rather than sexy. Which probably meant this wasn\u2019t what it sounded like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Except the other thing weird strangers did in isolated motels to aging twinks involved chainsaws or other sharp objects. \u201cNot to sound ungrateful or anything,\u201d Fen said just to be careful, \u201cbut if you\u2019re looking to harvest my organs\u2026 I probably have liver damage. Really bad liver damage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The couple once more exchanged glances, then the tall one laughed. \u201cNothing of the sort, dear boy. You just look like you could use somewhere to dry off.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And maybe it was the itchy, wet skinny jeans speaking, or maybe it was the prospect of an outlet to charge his cell in, but Fen gave the two a sheepish smile and said, \u201cWell, if it\u2019s not too much trouble.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

The couple said Fen could have the shower first, after the tall one introduced himself as Asper and the short one as Zenzel (Charles would have made <\/span>such<\/span><\/i> a face at their names), and they also didn\u2019t hesitate to start stripping down to their underwear as Fen plugged in his phone and rummaged through his backpack for his toothbrush. Fen tried to be polite and not stare at Asper\u2019s well-defined abs or at Zenzel\u2019s lusciously plump ass. He failed. Asper caught his eyes and gave Fen the sort of suggestive grin that made Fen both very resentful of and grateful for his cold wet jeans. Zenzel\u2019s face remained expressionless, but the way they strutted over to their trunk (wooden, clasps, the whole shebang! Who were these people?) made Fen fairly certain they knew his eyes lingered on the boxers clinging to their thick thighs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn\u2019t bring a change of clothes,\u201d Zenzel said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Fen replied, cheeks heating. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to drag my suitcase all the way out here, since Daisy \u2014 my car, that is \u2014 broke down some ways off and\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAsper\u2019s clothes should fit you.\u201d They reached into the trunk and pulled out what appeared to be an actual, for real, old-school striped nightshirt.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDear boy, you can\u2019t possibly be thinking of putting your wet clothes back on. You\u2019ll catch cold!\u201d Asper said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOr were you thinking of sleeping bare?\u201d Zenzel\u2019s expression was as impassive as it had been the whole night, but Fen was sure their eyes \u2014 were those purple? \u2014 glittered with mischief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen laughed nervously. He had been with Charles for over ten years, and it\u2019d been Charles who\u2019d picked him up when he\u2019d barely been able to admit that he liked looking at other boys\u2019 asses. Then they were Charles-and-Fen. Afterwards, the only people who hit on Fen were strangers who liked the thirst traps Fen posted online when Charles was out of town on one of his long business trips. He\u2019d never responded to the lewd DMs, of course. But sometimes he did think about posting photos of himself standing just outside his apartment building and imagined what some of those strangers would do if they found his address. If they would break into his place and tell him they knew exactly what he wanted, or if they wouldn\u2019t even care and would do what they wanted anyway\u2014 and Fen never posted those photos, so it didn\u2019t matter. Besides, those were strangers who didn\u2019t <\/span>know <\/span><\/i>Fen. He hadn\u2019t had a roommate\u2026 proposition him? casually flirt with him? whatever this was before. Were he less of a coward, he might have told Zenzel that he would be happy to show off. Instead, he took the offered nightshirt, said, \u201cGood point, good point,\u201d and then scurried off into the bathroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Face burning, he buried it into the shirt as if it could put a barrier between himself and The Situation (besides the bathroom door). Unfortunately, the shirt smelled<\/span> good<\/span><\/i>: clean, but with a lingering scent more earthy than well chosen laundry detergent, the same incredible scent as that cologne that Asper\u2019d been wearing, except even better because Fen could smell the hint of musk and salty sweat that probably came from Asper and not from a bottle. Had it been washed or had Asper worn it the previous night? He inhaled, and the heat in his face spread down, making him even more aware of the fabric clinging to him, of the tightness of his jeans. God. Reaching down, he popped open the button of his jeans, then lowered the zipper. He was half hard already. Running a hand over the thin layer of boxers that his cock strained against, Fen bit back a whimper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asper and Zenzel were still outside the door. The motel was cheap. The walls were thin. Fen needed to call his sister before she got desperate enough to call the cops. If Fen rubbed one out, he\u2019d have to be both quick and quiet enough not to be overheard. And if he was overheard\u2014 Fen bit back a groan. Fuck. Charles had always accused him of being an attention whore, and he\u2019d been right. What Fen should have done was turn on the coldest shower he could bear and get rid of his problem. Instead, Fen peeled himself out of his jeans and dropped his boxers beside them. Then he wrapped his hand around his cock, breathed the shirt in, and began to stroke himself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019d only meant to allow himself a perfunctory jerk-off session, but his hand moved of its own accord, desperately fast, so much so that it was on the edge of being painful. Tipping his head back, he groaned. This was ridiculous, but he could already feel the dribble of precum between his fingers. He bucked his hips up, fucking his hand, barely biting back his whimpers and moans. The two of them had to be hearing him, had to know what a little slut they\u2019d decided to let into their bed tonight. But maybe that was what they wanted. Maybe they\u2019d even be angry with him for hiding away rather than giving them a show. Maybe when he walked out Zenzel would <\/span>tsk <\/span><\/i>with disappointment, tell him to get to his knees so they could punish him, and then force him to take Asper\u2019s cock so deep in his mouth that he\u2019d be choking on it, but they wouldn\u2019t let him stop; they\u2019d be the one holding him down until Asper was satisfied, their hand gripping his hair so tightly that it burned, and Fen would barely be able to breathe, but he\u2019d be desperate to touch himself, and Zenzel wouldn\u2019t let him, they\u2019d smack his face if he so much as twitched his fingers in the direction of his dick, or maybe wrap their hand around his throat so he\u2019d be too busy trying to breathe to fuck his own hand, and\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen came. He cried out as he did, sinking to his knees, and kept dragging his hand over his cock until he’d milked himself dry, until the sensitivity was too much and he was shaking with it and tears leaked from his eyes. There was no way Asper and Zenzel hadn\u2019t heard him. He could crack open the door and see what expressions they were wearing. Horror. Disgust. \u2026Desire. Fen reached up, curled his hand around the door handle, heard it click as he turned it, and then chickened out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once he could stand again, he used some toilet paper to clean up the mess. As it disappeared down the toilet, Fen contemplated crawling out the bathroom window. What had he been thinking? Charles had been right; Fen was an attention whore, and now Asper and Zenzel knew that too. But Fen\u2019s phone was charging just outside, and Ada would never forgive him if he died of hypothermia just days before her wedding. So Fen dragged himself into the shower and tried not to think about the couple whose ears he’d just defiled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen wasn\u2019t sure what he\u2019d been expecting when he exited the bedroom, but it wasn\u2019t Asper smiling warmly at him like nothing at all had transpired, nor was it Zenzel wordlessly gesturing at the bed. Were they really fucking amazing actors? Or maybe, against all odds, they hadn\u2019t heard him. Maybe they had airpods in and every sound Fen had made had been drowned out by music. Or the walls were thicker than he\u2019d imagined, or this was some hypothermia-induced hallucination\u2014 No, no, he wasn\u2019t dying. They just… hadn\u2019t heard him. His chest constricted oddly at the thought, but it was better that way, wasn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI could take the floor,\u201d Fen hedged. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to crowd the two of you, or anything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNonsense! There\u2019s more than enough room for three.\u201d Asper walked over to Fen, and gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze. There was something knowing about the warmth of his smile, and his fingers lingered on Fen just long enough for Fen\u2019s mind to conjure an image of them tightening enough to bruise. But because Asper wasn\u2019t the absolute nutjob that Fen\u2019s brain had cast him as, he only brushed past Fen, that earthy smell lingering behind him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Swallowing, Fen looked back at the untouched bed, then at his phone, and then finally at Zenzel, who seemed entirely untroubled by their partner\u2019s obvious flirtation with Fen. …If it had been a flirtation. Fen could have been projecting. No, obviously Fen was projecting because no human would just flirt with the guy who loudly jerked-off in their shared bathroom. \u201cI-I think my phone\u2019s charged,\u201d Fen stammered. Fuck, he hadn’t stammered since middle school, what was <\/span>wrong<\/span><\/i> with him? \u201cI\u2019m just… just going to step outside to make a call.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It took Fen\u2019s phone a few minutes to turn on and he was beginning to worry it had gotten water damaged in his walk over. It really was a dinosaur \u2014 a seven-year-old, cranky dinosaur that almost certainly didn\u2019t appreciate getting wet. Charles had told him to buy a new phone, and when Fen had complained about the cost, Charles had tried to convince him to get on a shared phone plan. Good thing Fen hadn\u2019t agreed, or breaking up would have been even more of a mess. Or maybe Fen\u2019s hesitation over a measly little shared phone plan had been the final straw.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen\u2019s phone lit up. On the screen were notifications about six missed calls from Ada, over thirty texts from her <\/span>and <\/span><\/i>from her husband-to-be, along with three Instagram DMs (Ada didn\u2019t even <\/span>use<\/span><\/i> her Instagram), and a whole fucking email. Fen thumbed in his password, tripping over the digits twice, and immediately dialed Ada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFen! You better be bleeding out in a ditch right now!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHey there, Ads. No, nothing\u2019s wrong,\u201d Fen said, the words mercifully coming out smooth. She\u2019d been panicking and he\u2019d been getting off in the bathroom with a dead phone. He wanted to vomit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you \u2018hey there\u2019 me, you asshole! You were supposed to call me a whole fucking hour ago! An <\/span>hour<\/span><\/i>!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDaisy finally died,\u201d Fen said, and before Ada could freak out even louder, he added, \u201cBut I\u2019ve got it handled! I\u2019m in a motel now. An <\/span>enchanting <\/span><\/i>motel! Did you know motels could be enchanting?\u201d Fuck, he was rambling. He needed to not ramble so Ada didn\u2019t get suspicious and worry that… that what? Fen was imposing on a random couple? He needed to get it together. His twin couldn\u2019t actually read his mind. \u201cI\u2019ll get her towed in the morning and then rent a car, so I\u2019ll make it in time to help you wrangle Aunt Aggie and whoever else needs to be reminded that you could have done so much worse for yourself than marrying Sergio.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou should have called, Fen!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He flinched. \u201cMy phone died. The landline here didn\u2019t work. I… I fucked up, I know. I\u2019m sorry.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re sorry,\u201d Ada said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo you need me to run errands in the morning? Watch for last minute problems? Cause a distraction so you and Sergio can get some alone time?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I don\u2019t know, Fen, can I trust your phone not to die again?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAds…\u201d he said, trying to sound soothing, but he probably just sounded pathetic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She let out a huff. \u201cJust… You\u2019re safe, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFine. Call me when you head out tomorrow. And make it before ten AM, or you are not attending my wedding. That clear?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCrystal,\u201d Fen said, already sliding over his screen to set around a dozen alarms, hoping he didn\u2019t actually need to disturb Asper and Zenzel with all twelve.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGood. Now I\u2019m going to go take a bubble bath. Go get some sleep, Fen.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah. Promise, I\u2019ll call you bright and early,\u201d Fen said before hanging up the phone. Then he sunk into a crouch and tried to breathe. But, okay, the worst was over. Ada knew he was fine, and even if she kind of hated him right now, that was fine. Things were fine now. He could worry about how much getting Daisy towed and fixed would cost later. He could go back into the motel room with the weird and sexy couple and sleep in their bed while pretending he hadn\u2019t jacked off while thinking about them hearing him, and go to his sister\u2019s wedding without the long-term boyfriend his parents had only just started to like, and\u2014 and Fen needed to stop thinking before he started hyperventilating in the hallway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His phone buzzed. A text from Ada. Fen\u2019s fingers shook as he opened it. \u2018I\u2019m really glad you\u2019re okay.\u2019 Perfect, proper, Ada grammar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen felt tears welling up in the corner of his eyes. He didn\u2019t deserve her. \u2018love u <3\u2019 he texted back and wiped his eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking a breath, Fen strode back into the motel room. Zenzel had vanished into the shower, and Asper was reading in bed. Looking up at Fen, his brows pinched together. \u201cFen,\u201d Asper said, softly, like he was talking to a stray cat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fuck. He even had Asper worried now. \u201cJust\u2014 One second, I just need to plug this in,\u201d said Fen, stammering again. He walked over to the outlet and his stupid hands were shaking as he tried to plug it in. It took him three tries to get the charger into the stupid little slot. When he looked up, he saw Asper was holding the blankets open, still wearing that dreadfully soft expression. Fen felt nauseous, but he couldn\u2019t run to the bathroom, because Zenzel was in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI, uh…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFen.\u201d Asper\u2019s voice was still gentle, but a firmness had crept in that made it sound even richer and deeper than it already was. Fen\u2019s face went hot. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you come here? This book is <\/span>dreadful<\/span><\/i>, and I would love to share it with you.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure I\u2019m going to be able to offer any witty commentary.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh believe me, dear boy, this book has wit enough for us both.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And with no other protests coming to his lips, Fen swallowed, sliding in next to Asper, and Asper slipped an arm around Fen, drawing him close so that Fen could easily see what was written on the page: <\/span>His engorged staff of life pierced into her flower. <\/span><\/i>Was that supposed to be a sex scene? Fen read the words over again. Yeah, that was definitely a sex scene. Asper was reading badly written romance in bed. Fen had maybe read a few romance novels since breaking up with Charles, and he was by no means a connoisseur, but yeah, Asper was right, this was <\/span>terrible<\/span><\/i>. \u201cStaff of life?\u201d Fen laughed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, if they were going floral with it, they may as well have used \u2018stamen.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen laughed harder, burying face into Asper\u2019s shoulder. Asper\u2019s shoulder. He was right on top of Asper. Asper had put him there. Even Fen\u2019s ears burned now, but Asper\u2019s arm was so comfortably draped around his shoulder that Fen couldn\u2019t bring himself to protest. Instead he read further. <\/span>She howled in pure delight, her cries of ecstasy as loud as the morning rooster.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThey could have at least used cock here,\u201d said Fen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure the author understands worldplay well enough to make a pun. Read on, it gets worse.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So Fen continued to read, but his eyelids began to droop before he got half way through the page. The last thing he remembered before drifting off was Asper\u2019s fingers carding through his hair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

There was a hand caressing his bare thigh, another sliding under his now-unbuttoned nightshirt to lightly roll his nipple between thumb and forefinger, a third stroking his hair, and a fourth tugging down his boxers to release his rapidly hardening cock. Fen\u2019s eyes blinked open as a soft moan slipped past his lips. Straddling his lap, with their thumb brushing against the head of his cock, was Zenzel. The other hands came from behind him, and Fen\u2019s head no longer rested on a pillow but rather on a pair of firm thighs. Asper\u2019s firm thighs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen tried to shift, to move away from the hands or maybe up into them; he couldn\u2019t quite think yet around the too-much-or-not-enough scattering of sensation, and yet his body remained still, not so much as twitching. It felt heavy enough to leave a dent in the mattress, and that should have frightened Fen. He could do nothing to stop this. He was helpless. The realization only made him harder. Fen whimpered.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh, you\u2019re awake,\u201d Asper said as he continued to play with Fen\u2019s nipple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHello,\u201d Zenzel said, tracing their thumb down the underside of Fen\u2019s cock. \u201cYour genitalia is quite pretty.\u201d They turned their hand to lightly cup Fen\u2019s balls. \u201cWell proportioned.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAh\u2014\u201d Fen gasped. His <\/span>what<\/span><\/i> was <\/span>what<\/span><\/i> now? Had he been right about the organ harvesting? Were they going to steal his cock instead of his liver? No. That was absurd. This had to be a dream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t robbed you of speech, have we?\u201d Asper asked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPlease\u2026\u201d Fen said, not even sure what he was begging for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow, now, I know your faculties must still be returning to you, but surely you could be a little more specific.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not a dream then. Or maybe it was. Fen was pretty sure he’d had dreams where someone woke him up because he was late for work or a test or something. He couldn\u2019t really recall any of them now, but he was also pretty sure none of those fake wake-up calls had involved organ theft. Though, did organ theft usually involve feeling a guy up? There were no knives in sight, and the hands on him felt far better than they had any right to. \u201cPlease,\u201d he said again, louder, more desperate. \u201cI\u2026Please\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps he needs prompting,\u201d Zenzel said, their hands going still.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAh, a fine point, my dear. Why don\u2019t you tell us what it was that gave you such enjoyment in the restroom? It must have been a thrilling fantasy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Something hot twisted in Fen\u2019s gut. They <\/span>had <\/span><\/i>heard him. They knew. They <\/span>knew<\/span><\/i>. He couldn\u2019t see the face Asper was making as he spoke. Was he smirking? Zenzel\u2019s expression was impenetrable, or maybe expectant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen swallowed. He could lie to them. Playing innocent was out of the question, but they didn\u2019t need to know\u2014 \u201cYou,\u201d his traitorous mouth said. \u201cHearing me. You hearing me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Asper chuckled. \u201cWe had wondered if you\u2019d intended to put on a show for us. Your voice is quite lovely, you know.\u201d He slid his hand out of Fen\u2019s hair, down Fen\u2019s cheek, and then brushed a thumb across Fen\u2019s lips. Fen\u2019s tongue darted out, but Asper pulled his hand away before Fen could catch a taste. Fen whined. He couldn\u2019t even chase after it; his head was as immovable as the rest of him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no, no,\u201d Asper said. \u201cYou\u2019ll need to use your words.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen squeezed his eyes shut. Asper had stopped playing with his nipple, but the heat of his fingers there, and of Zenzel\u2019s palms on him, was even more maddening now that they’d both gone still. If Fen could only rut against them, get a little bit of friction, he was sure he would be coming without needing anything more. Fuck, he shouldn\u2019t have been getting off on this. He could all but hear Charles\u2019 voice saying that this was exactly what Fen had been asking for in the bathroom, and he wouldn\u2019t even be wrong. \u201cI\u2019ll take anything,\u201d Fen blurted. \u201cJust, please, keep touching me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel petted his thigh. \u201cThat\u2019s quite a lot of freedom to offer us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And if Fen didn\u2019t offer? If he told them no instead? If he said no, and they stopped; or if he said no, and they <\/span>didn\u2019t<\/span><\/i>… He felt feverish. \u201cAnything,\u201d Fen said again. He didn\u2019t even know what he <\/span>could<\/span><\/i> ask for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo you truly understand what \u2018anything\u2019 might entail, or are you just too ashamed to ask for what you truly wish for?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Opening his eyes, Fen saw a mean little smile curved on Zenzel\u2019s lips. He let out a choked laugh. \u201cI wanted you to punish me for what I did in the bathroom.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what is it that you deserve punishment for?\u201d Zenzel asked, their hand tightening around Fen\u2019s balls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For making Ada worry about him when she should have been having the best week of her life. For being a disappointing failure of a boyfriend who heard \u2018let\u2019s think about buying a house together\u2019 and freaked out. For being a horny little slut who’d found the filthy, threatening dirty talk his Instagram followers sent him so much hotter than any of the perfectly respectable sex he had with said boyfriend. \u201cFor coming without letting you see,\u201d Fen said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel\u2019s smile widened. \u201cYes, that was rude of you.\u201d They raised their head and something wordless seemed to pass between them and Asper. \u201cI shall return with an appropriate punishment for your transgression.\u201d They slid off of Fen\u2019s thighs, making their way over to their trunk. Fen whined at the loss of their weight on him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere, there, dear boy, they\u2019ll be back soon,\u201d Asper said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen wished he could turn his head and bury his face in Asper\u2019s lap as he waited, but he could do nothing but lay there as Zenzel dug for whatever it was they wanted to find. It could’ve just been a belt; Fen wouldn\u2019t even mind if it was. He\u2019d never had the chance to figure out if he would enjoy pain, but even if he didn\u2019t, if Zenzel insisted he took it anyhow while Fen was helpless to stop them…<\/span><\/p>\n

Asper chuckled. \u201cNow <\/span>that<\/span><\/i> would be a sight.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen blinked. Had he said that out loud? He couldn\u2019t bring himself to ask, but it didn\u2019t matter. Zenzel pulled something from the trunk and walked back towards the bed. Cradled in their hand was a wriggling ball of chrome tentacles. Fen\u2019s mouth dropped open. \u201cW-what is that? How is it moving?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel tilted their head. \u201cYou\u2019ll find out soon. Asper, I need you to release the boy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Asper gave a theatrical sigh. \u201cYou had to pick this one, of all of them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFine. Please excuse me, Fen.\u201d He pressed a kiss to Fen\u2019s temple before sliding out from under him and walking over to his partner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be cold for a moment, but it\u2019ll warm up,\u201d Zenzel said and placed the wriggling mass on Fen\u2019s chest. Fen couldn\u2019t even jerk back as the cool tentacles spread out on top of him. Despite their smooth, metallic texture, they moved almost like they were organic, easily curling themselves around Fen. Fen\u2019s heart raced. They <\/span>were<\/span><\/i> harvesting his organs! This thing would steal his liver and his heart and then Zenzel would sell them on the black market and Ada wouldn\u2019t even know what had happened to him!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI told you, my liver\u2019s in really shit condition! So\u2019s my heart! I\u2019m a couch potato and\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want your organs.\u201d Zenzel looked at their wrist, at what Fen had taken to be a silver bracelet. It lit up and strange green symbols danced across it. \u201cBody temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure all elevated. Skin has begun secreting sweat, and its saline content is within typical human range. All as expected for early stages of arousal.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAre you taking notes?\u201d Fen\u2019s voice came out in a squeak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBody temperature rising,\u201d Zenzel said in that same clinical tone. Then they looked up at Fen and said, \u201cI am.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIs there a camera?\u201d Maybe this was some sort of game show\u2014 a horny game show. Maybe there was an audience watching and seeing just how hard Fen was right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe lighting in this room is poor, but I could arrange for one, if you wish. I wouldn\u2019t mind having a visual record to accompany my notes.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen\u2019s gaze darted to Asper, who smiled a bit apologetically. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working on Zen\u2019s dirty talk, but alas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFen doesn\u2019t seem to believe I\u2019m doing a poor job.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen would have piped up, except, no, no, it did seem that being treated like a lab experiment was making him even more horny than being groped by strangers in his sleep. There was something deeply wrong with him, but also, clearly, them, and maybe Fen didn\u2019t have to care about that at the moment. It wasn\u2019t like he\u2019d been given a choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFen is a dear,\u201d Asper said. \u201cBut, love, perhaps you shouldn\u2019t keep him waiting for too long.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere, you are correct.\u201d Zenzel tapped their wristband, and something slick and cool began to ooze out of the creature sitting on Fen\u2019s chest, and the creature slithered under Fen\u2019s nightshirt. It moved slowly at first, stretching out, growing larger, wetter, more alive. Fen shuddered as the tentacles began to curl around his cock and balls, as others trailed over his thighs and stomach, while others still lingered around his nipples, and yet more reached under him, brushing against his hole.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSigns of arousal are growing more prominent. Fen, are you ready for your punishment to be administered?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen\u2019s dick pulsed. He couldn\u2019t begin to imagine what punishment Zenzel had in mind, and yet, feeling almost delirious, he said, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen didn\u2019t quite register it at first; he\u2019d almost adjusted to the slick liquid that coated his body, but slowly it began to tingle, pleasantly at first, before the sensation grew sharper and sharper, like electricity racing across his skin. Fen let out a gasp. The tentacle looped around his cock tightened its hold and began to pump him, dribbling more and more of the stinging liquid in its wake. Fen wanted to thrash, but all he could do was cry out, \u201cIt hurts!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel tutted. \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be a punishment otherwise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A tentacle pressed into Fen\u2019s hole, thrusting in and out, going deeper each time. Fen could feel himself being filled by the same slick mess. It made the glide so smooth, the stretch so easy, even as he felt like he was burning from the inside out. \u201cAsper! I can\u2019t… Help, please.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut you are doing so well, Fen.\u201d Asper practically beamed. He looked <\/span>proud <\/span><\/i>of Fen and Fen let out a hiccuping moan at that. \u201cPerhaps I should find a camera to show you just how beautiful you look right now,\u201d added Asper.<\/span><\/p>\n

A second tentacle slid into him, thicker than the first, and it grew even thicker as it thrust mercilessly inside him. Another slid under him, tipping his hips up while two more tentacles pushed his knees apart, so Zenzel and Asper could see exactly how full Fen was. He\u2019d never felt this full, but it wasn\u2019t enough. He was sure there was still room inside of him, and if Asper or Zenzel would just come over and fill him the rest of the way, then even the live-wire liquid would be bearable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPlease,\u201d Fen begged, tears prickling in his eyes. \u201cPlease, I need, I can\u2019t, please just come here. Just come here. I need you.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asper took a step forward, but Zenzel grabbed his arm. \u201cDo not interfere. Fen said he wished for punishment. He is quite close to orgasm, regardless. It should not be much longer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And Zenzel was right. He was close.\u00a0 Asper or Zenzel could have touched him and he would’ve come right then and there. But all he had were the stinging tentacles, dragging pleasure out of him. Their movements were steady and mechanical, not speeding up or slowing down as Fen\u2019s climax drew nearer. Words left him. Thoughts went with them. He was just heat and pressure, and then he was coming, his whole body shaking with orgasm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The world went silent. Everything fell away. Fen was distantly aware of something still sliding against his skin, but his skin felt like it belonged to someone else. He shut his eyes, just breathing, barely registering as someone pulled off his nightshirt and the creature was untangled from his limbs. The cool, wet cloth along his skin that wiped away the mess felt clearer, as did the hand brushing damp bangs from his forehead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFen,\u201d a soft voice said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMm-hm?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou should drink some water.\u201d A hand slid under him and lightly pushed him up. Fen found his limbs were no longer quite so heavy. He blinked at the cup that had materialized from nowhere in front of his face. No, wait, Zenzel was holding it. Fen leaned forward and took a sip, then another, and then took the cup from Zenzel and gulped down the rest of the water.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome back,\u201d Asper said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHi.\u201d Fen\u2019s throat felt raw. \u201cThat, uh\u2026\u201d He wasn\u2019t really sure what to say, but the two of them were watching him, and, of all things, \u201cDid you get good material for your notes?\u201d slipped out of his mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel grinned, eyes going bright. \u201cVery good material.\u201d They looked impossibly beautiful when they smiled like that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen knew he should have felt angry, and yet he couldn\u2019t stop himself from smiling back. \u201cGood. I\u2019m\u2026 I\u2019m glad to hear that.\u201d He turned to Asper. \u201cAnd you\u2026 did\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAh, that, well\u2026\u201d Asper gave Fen a guilty smile. \u201cThat was a delightful show; however, you see, dear boy\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe needs you to ejaculate again,\u201d Zenzel interrupted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDear!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true,\u201d Zenzel said. \u201cI\u2019ve collected the samples I need to bring back to my home world, but <\/span>he<\/span><\/i> needs your ejaculate\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDear, you could at least use the word <\/span>come<\/span><\/i>. We talked about this.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel sighed. \u201cYour <\/span>come<\/span><\/i> to regenerate his life force. Therefore, if you have no objections, we must ask you to eja\u2014 <\/span>come<\/span><\/i> again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen stared. So they were aliens. That explained a lot. Or it explained nothing at all, because, what the fuck, aliens were real?! After everything else, Fen\u2019s mind couldn\u2019t even begin to circle the revelation, and instead his thoughts landed on, \u201cAh, so that\u2019s why you wanted me in your bed.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d asked Asper. \u201cFen, no!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen might have been inexperienced, but he wasn\u2019t na\u00efve. They\u2019d used him for his come, and they wanted more of it. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s fine.\u201d Fen shrugged, trying to sound more casual than he felt. \u201cWe just met. It\u2019s not like I\u2019m really\u2026 well, I mean, look, it\u2019s fine. I promise you don\u2019t need to reassure me or anything. I get it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFen,\u201d Zenzel said, \u201care you implying that we are indiscriminate?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnless Daisy breaking down was somehow your fault…\u201d Fen\u2019s gaze fell to his lap. He felt stupid. It wasn\u2019t like he\u2019d thought this was something special. He hadn\u2019t really been thinking with his head at all (not the one on his shoulders, at least), but he had felt good. Desirable, even. And now, all he could think was that they would have done the same to anyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel\u2019s surprisingly large, long-fingered hand tentatively reached for Fen\u2019s knee. \u201cWe enjoyed how your voice sounded in the bathroom. You reacted quite well to Asper\u2019s pheromones.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you have a lovely mouth,\u201d Asper added, brushing his fingers over Fen\u2019s cheek. \u201cAlong with a very expressive face.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen felt something warm and fluttery rise up in his chest, but he shoved it down. No. He wasn\u2019t just going to believe them! For over ten years, he\u2019d let Charles tell him that he loved him, and said the same thing back, when Charles\u2014 fuck it, no, when <\/span>both<\/span><\/i> of them had been staring at each other, wishing that it was someone else in their bed. If Fen had actually said something, maybe they wouldn\u2019t have wasted their time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, look, you want to tell me this is about my face or my voice or whatever, but you had that squid toy ready! You took notes! Which, okay, was kind of sexy when I thought it was about you and me, but it turns out that you\u2019re sending those notes back to your home world or whatever, and I have no idea why anyone on your planet cares about human orgasms so much. My sister\u2019s getting married in two days, and I don\u2019t want her marriage cut short by an alien invasion, because she\u2019s spent so long not letting herself be happy, and now Sergio\u2019s making her <\/span>so<\/span><\/i> happy and\u2014\u201d Fen broke off with a sniff. \u201cYou\u2019re not using my come to invade the planet, right?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHuman sexual energy is powerful, but no one has considered using it to make weaponry,” Zenzel said, but flinched when Fen sent them a glare. The fingers still resting on Fen\u2019s knee began to drum. \u201cFen,\u201d Zenzel started, more quietly, \u201cWould you prefer I didn\u2019t send the notes home?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you have to send them back?\u201d Fen tried to sound offended, but the words came out slightly watery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be better if I did. For myself and Asper, that is. However, as I said, it wasn\u2019t desperation that drove us tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou said he <\/span>needs<\/span><\/i> my come.\u201d Fen was pouting now. He probably sounded pathetic, but he didn\u2019t care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA minor exaggeration on my part,\u201d said Zenzel, cheeks darkening to an almost adorable shade of purple. \u201cAs Asper said, I am still working on my dirty talk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you truly wish to stop here, Fen, I will not starve,\u201d Asper said softly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen sighed. That shouldn\u2019t have made him feel better about this, but it wasn\u2019t like anything this night had made Fen feel the way it should have. Fen let himself droop back and thus found himself wrapped up in a pair of strong arms. Asper\u2019s scent \u2014 his pheromones, apparently \u2014 made Fen once more feel heat curling in his gut. \u201cI don\u2019t know how much I have left in me, after tonight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t need much,\u201d Asper whispered into Fen\u2019s hair. One of his hands was already sliding down Fen\u2019s body, and Fen let his head fall against Asper\u2019s shoulder. He was getting too old for three orgasms in a single evening, or had thought he\u2019d been, anyhow. His dick was bewitched. As Asper\u2019s fingers approached it, it began once more to perk up. Well, fine, go big or go home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we\u2019re doing this again,\u201d said Fen, \u201cI\u2019d really like someone to fuck me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh,\u201d Asper said. \u201cYou would?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel tipped their head. \u201cYour mouth or your rec\u2014\u201d They looked to Asper and finished, \u201cYour ass?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen shifted in Asper\u2019s arms. \u201cBoth would be good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Asper chuckled into Fen\u2019s hair. \u201cOh, I really like you.\u201d He exchanged a glance with Zenzel before saying, \u201cI think then, Fen, I shall lay claim to your mouth. This time, at least. Zen\u2019s situation might be\u2026 a bit tricky after a long night.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah?\u201d Fen asked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel sighed. \u201cBeings who have yet to figure out intergalactic travel and their lack of imagination when it comes to biology.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think I have a pretty good imagination.\u201d Fen recalled the Bad Dragon dildos he\u2019d browsed in the first lonely nights after his break-up. He could picture any number of them beneath Zenzel\u2019s boxers. When he got home from the wedding, he would order that pink kaiju one he\u2019d been eyeing, fuck whatever Charles had said about sex toys being for desperate perverts. Fen <\/span>was<\/span><\/i> a desperate pervert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel tugged down their boxers. The first thing Fen noticed was that their happy trail was a light smattering of purple scales, that their skin grew more and more scaled as it traveled down. Between their legs was something that reminded Fen of a cunt if he sort of squinted, except, rather than a clit, Zenzel had a small, slightly ridged dick, and from beneath their folds stretched wriggling tentacles. …Okay, Fen hadn\u2019t seen anything like that on Bad Dragon. He swallowed. These two really weren\u2019t human. \u201cSo, how would it be best for me to take you?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow about on your knees?\u201d Asper suggested.<\/span><\/p>\n

And thus Fen ended up on the bed, mouth stuffed full of Asper\u2019s cock \u2014 which was as long and thick as Fen had hoped, and human-shaped, except for a few ridges near the head\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0 and Zenzel lining up behind him. The dick that had seemed almost modest did not feel that way as it entered Fen. It grew as it slid inside, and each ridge hit places that Fen hadn\u2019t thought were sensitive. The tentacles decided to take care of his dick, but they were much more gentle and teasing than the chrome creature that had come before them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asper\u2019s hand ran through Fen\u2019s hair, and he let Fen set the pace, making approving little hums as Fen took him deeper. \u201cYou\u2019ve been such a good boy all night,\u201d\u00a0 Asper said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo flexible,\u201d Zenzel added, their voice almost breathy. Because of Fen. He\u2019d done that. Moaning, Fen took Asper even deeper, and pressed back against Zenzel. He could take more. He could take anything the two had to give him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPatience,\u201d Zenzel said, but their hips stuttered and Fen took the initiative to fuck himself harder on their dick, enjoying the way Zenzel gasped at the motion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought you were tired,\u201d Zenzel said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen\u2019s response to that was to grind back, and Asper laughed. \u201cOh, if you could see the face Zen is making,\u201d Asper said, and then Zenzel was fucking Fen properly, hard and rough, exactly how Fen had wanted them to. Asper kept a steady hold on Fen\u2019s hair, so he wasn\u2019t jostled to the point of choking, but soon enough his fingers were tightening, and Fen relished the sting of it. He shut his eyes as they fucked him, and it didn\u2019t take too long for any of them. Zenzel came first, spilling inside Fen with a high-pitched cry. Asper soon followed, holding Fen down so Fen had no choice but to swallow everything he offered. The tentacles had retreated almost as soon as Zenzel came, but Zenzel\u2019s hand replaced them, and it took only a few firm pumps to send Fen over the edge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They lay there, tangled together, for what could only have been a few minutes, but time felt gooey and malleable. Fen was sticky and Zenzel\u2019s knees bumped awkwardly against his sides, but he didn\u2019t want to move. When Asper shifted beneath him, Fen whined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSorry, dear boy, just a moment.\u201d Fen blinked his eyes open to find Asper leaning over to take Zenzel\u2019s come-covered fingers into his mouth. Then his long, forked tongue slid over Zenzel\u2019s palm, cleaning up the rest of the mess.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh, wow.\u201d Fen exhaled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe <\/span>has<\/span><\/i> been waiting all night,\u201d Zenzel said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And didn\u2019t that make something warm and strange twist in Fen\u2019s gut. \u201cI really should have let you two watch\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow you know for next time.\u201d Zenzel reached across the bed for some tissues to wipe their fingers with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026I don\u2019t really live around here, you know,\u201d said Fen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell of course. Neither do we,\u201d Asper replied. \u201cBut we are travelers, dear boy. There is no reason we cannot visit you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

They had Fen stared. \u201cDo you visit a lot of humans?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asper shrugged. \u201cA few, here and there. Why? Would you like to meet any of them? I think you and Gabriel would get along particularly well.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe Fen would prefer Abdul\u2019s company.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHmm\u2026 Perhaps we could introduce him to both. Tell us, Fen, have you ever visited Paris?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen laughed. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can afford Paris.\u201d This was ridiculous and yet the two were shrugging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asper said, \u201cWhy, we wouldn\u2019t make you <\/span>pay<\/span><\/i> for it. That would be uncouth.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fen was pretty sure nothing about this night had been remotely \u2018couth\u2019, and yet, well, fuck it. Okay. They weren\u2019t the shittiest people he could give his number to. \u201cHow about you visit me in New York first. I\u2019ll be back in a week.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zenzel tapped their not-bracelet. \u201cWe can arrive in two weeks. Please tell us how best to contact you.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So Fen did. Then the three of them went to shower together, and Fen was impressed at just how easy it was for three people to maneuver in this cheap motel\u2019s showers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014-<\/span><\/p>\n

When Aunt Aggie, bless her, started to complain about the catering Sergio\u2019s family had arranged, Fen smiled, offered her a martini glass of ceviche, and said, \u201cOh, Auntie, have I told you about my new boyfriends?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
