Sunsets with you

Days passed by, in the company of sheer bliss. Carlos looked over at the beautiful man, reading and taking notes across the table, smiling on the inside as to how warm the whole situation made him feel. He was so happy just to be able to look at Benito, as the days of mediocre events would rocket through existence. Benito existed… his Beni, that he loved…

Benito glanced to the left, looking through the window at the golden sky. The sheer curtains were floating in the delicate breeze, as if they were caressing the sun beams spilling in through the window. He closed his eyes for a moment breathing in the summer warmth. He let out a small, relaxed sigh.

 

“Beni… how are you doing with that?” asked Carlos referring to the work load piled infront of the silver haired man.

 

“Oh it’s coming along alright!” said Benito smiling calmly. Carlos smiled back at him.

 

It was quiet. They had been studying for final exams for about 3 hours and they were both starting to get worn out.

 

Benito closed his book and leaned against the wall, gently rubbing his forehead to relax himself. Carlos in turn closed his book and stood up, stretching out his cramped limbs. They sighed in unison.

 

“Sometimes I wonder…” said Beni smiling “…if all these studies are even worth it.”

 

“Hn…” scoffed Carlos “…I wonder the same thing sometimes, but I assume we wonder them for different reasons.”

 

“I’m sorry… for saying such things…” said Benito hanging his head, forever having that melancholic grin.

 

“It’s okay… and do you want to know why?”

 

“Why…?”

 

“I understand the kinds of reservations that you have, taking steps forward and not really having a place to look back, but… in spite of that, you still get a future filled with anything you want. I’ll be here to keep your spirits high, so don’t ever worry about sounding upset… they’re all apart of… being human.” Carlos sat on his bed, the warmth of the sun lighting his back.

 

Being human; That was an expression Benito didn’t believe sometimes. He looked up at Carlos who was looking out the window.

 

“It’s a wonderful sunset today…”

 

Benito sprung up to see the beauty of the golden orb slowly hiding behind the horizon. It was something, from since he could remember, that he loved; one of his oldest memories. Benito then felt something warm envelop his hand.

 

It was Carlos’s hand.

 

Carlos…

 

Yes…

 

Carlos was also something that he loved very much since he could remember. He somehow managed to develop this deep connection with that man over the short span of time he had been alive. He smiled while looking at the gorgeously tan person. Beni sat down on the bed, next to his beloved.

 

“Beni…” smiled Carlos. Beni smiled delicately back at his mate. “…I… I love times like these…”

 

Times like these, thought Benito, where peace and quiet would befall them, and words were no longer an option. Times like these, where the air from the half open window would be so warm that it would blanket the two men comfortably. And at times like these, when Carlos would gently caress Benito’s face, staring deep into his eyes, into his utter existence, is when he would again realize that he was human… Carlos made him human.

 

Benito gently leaned his forehead against Carlos’s, where the brown haired man in turn leaned his face in the opposite direction, locking his lips with Beni’s in a tender kiss. Soft electricity ran through Benito, as he grasped Carlos’s hand harder and let his shoulders fall. He would tend to forget during the time of absence. They didn’t get time to share intimate moments very often, but Benito made a mental note that if he ever questioned his humanity again, that he would remember this point in time, where all there were, was him, Carlos, and the ever setting sun pouring in through the window.

 

“Carlos…”

 

“Beni…”

 

He loved hearing his name melting off of those lips in a deep whisper.

 

Benito layed back, looking at Carlos lift his shirt from his waist to over his head. The glorious orange glow of the sun, made Carlos’s tan skin gleam. The silver haired man had never seen anything look more gorgeous, he just had to reach out and touch…

 

Gliding his pale hand down the soft darkened skin of his mate made his heart skip. It felt like perfection.

 

Carlos closed his eyes and took in every sensation of Beni’s touch. Each contact being ever so careful of his body’s details. Carlos felt a passion rise within him that he had only experienced in his dreams. He leaned in and kissed Beni’s face, who in turn let out a delicate gasp. Their breaths began to rise.

 

Benito reached to the buttons of his own shirt, knowing that the man above him would keep him warm. With his then exposed torso, Beni lifted himself up and snaked his arms around Carlos’s neck, melting into the warmth that was his brown haired mate. Carlos kissed him firmly on the lips. Benito pressed his body tightly against Carlos’s, adoring the sweet friction of their skin together, creating a heated passion neither of them had experienced until that moment. They broke their kiss and shared a fervent gaze.

 

“Beni…” whispered Carlos in the silver haired man’s ear “…Beni… Beni…”

 

The sound of his name was a drug to him. Things had never felt so real. Benito realized that his hands had wandered down to Carlos’s hips, grasping on to the waistband of his pants. Carlos realized this as well and looked down. At this, Benito began to blush. The passion had gone to his head and perhaps he had went to far. Carlos smiled and rubbed Benito’s soft cheek with his own, breathing a heated breath into his ear. Carlos began pushing down the waist of his pants while pushing Benito back down on the bed. Now looming over top of the silver haired man, Carlos arched his back and caressed Benito’s body with his own, back and forth; each bodily stroke shaking off Carlos’s pants until he was completely naked on top of his partner.

 

Benito’s eyes went wide at the sight. This man, was simply beautiful. It was Carlos’s turn to blush as he saw Benito’s shocked expression.

 

“I…”

 

“You’re so beautiful…” whispered Benito, as he glided his fingers over the sharp curves of Carlos’s hips and groin. Carlos blushed even more and let out a shuddering gasp.

 

Benito grabbed the waistband of his pants, and as he began pulling himself up to sit, he gently wormed his way out of the articles of clothing constricting him. Carlos was now in awe of this beautiful silver haired man laying naked in front of him. He stared, not knowing what to do.

 

Their eyes met.

 

They stared into each other, not moving a muscle.

 

It was only the rhythm of their heavy breaths that kept them chained to reality.

 

The golden light of the sun pored over them.

 

Not breaking their gaze, Carlos crawled over top of Benito, and pinned him down with his body, taking his hands and interlacing his fingers with his. Benito closed his eyes and tilted his head back. He became overwhelmed with passion and his body just began moving on it’s own, moving back and forth in unison with the man on top of him. Everything melded together in the ferver of this hot friction.

 

Everything went white…

 

As Benito awoke, the sun was no longer hanging in the sky. The room was coated in the silver glow of the moonlight. The delicate breeze that had warmed the room previously, now had a slight chill. Benito looked up to see a smiling face look back at him. This was the reason he wasn’t cold.

 

“Good morning, or… shall I say, good evening?” said Carlos jokingly.

 

Benito breathed in the fresh smell of outside mixed with warm sent of Carlos.

 

“Good evening…!” responded Beni with a blissful smile. “Was I asleep for long?”

 

“We both fell asleep for a while actually…” laughed Carlos. He looked at his mate softly. “…that felt so good Beni…”. Carlos placed a gentle affectionate kiss atop the silver haired boy’s forehead.

 

“It did…” said Benito smiling. He shifted his body around, allowing the cool parts of the sheets to caress his still naked form. He looked up to the moon. “Carlos, I… want to be able to feel this for the rest of my existence. To be able to feel you. It’s the only way I can-“

 

Carlos interrupted Beni with a deep kiss. Benito pressed himself tightly against his partner, deepening the kiss even further.

 

“I’m in love with you…” said Carlos as the kiss faded away “…Beni, I know I can promise you that you never have to worry about your humanity. If you slip, I’ll catch you. I’ll remind you of how you should be feeling.”

 

“Carlos…” Beni pressed his cheek against Carlos’s warm chest. “Your heart is… all I need.”

 

Carlos wrapped his arms around Benito, gently caressing the soft pale skin, keeping him warm from the late night chill.

 

It was then, Benito knew, that there would be many more sunsets in his future.

 

“I love you Carlos…”

 

They drifted back to sleep.
