Work Text:
Alexander sat on the couch, his tail waving gently as he wrote in his notebook. He wasn’t really writing anything in particular. He was just doing it for the sake of it.
Suddenly, someone hugged him from behind. His tail puffed up in surprise, and he almost swiped at them. But when he looked over his shoulder, he realized that it was just John.
“Jackie, you scared me!” he exclaimed. John grinned. “That was the point.” He nuzzled against Alexander’s cheek. “I still needed payback for that time you tackled me while I was setting up the bedsheets.” he said as he nuzzled higher up Alexander’s head.
Then he playfully nipped at Alexander’s at ear. The soft, content purr that had been vibrating through Alexander’s chest turned into a playful growl.
He set his book aside and quickly turned around, pulling John down onto the couch.
But John was quick to act before Alexander could do too much.
He put his hands on either side of Alexander’s head, pinning him to the couch. “Ha! Gotcha!”
Alexander grinned as his whiskers perked up. “Not for long!” He quickly scurried from under John, climbing onto his back and pinning him instead.
John couldn’t get away as easily as Alexander had, mostly because he wasn’t as nimble and lean as his boyfriend.
Alexander nipped at John’s ear this time, grinning proudly. “That’s why you don’t mess with a cat from the Caribbean like me. We’re pretty scrappy.” he teased.
John squirmed a bit, huffing at Alexander and trying to hide the slight blush creeping up his neck. “Hey, I’m plenty scrappy!” he protested.
Alexander couldn’t help but laugh. “Well, I’ve still got you outdone when it comes to that.” he said playfully. He bit John’s ear and tugged at it. “Say it, Jackie!”
John’s cheeks flushed deeply at the feeling of Alexander’s teeth digging into his ear. And he had no way to hide it either. His tail whipped around as heat spread through his body.
“O-okay! You’re scrappier than me!” he stammered out.
Alexander let go of John’s ear when he heard how his boyfriend’s pitch had changed.
They hadn’t been dating long, but they’d been friends for a pretty long time, and Alexander was pretty good at reading John.
And even if he wasn’t, it was pretty damn obvious from the way the other cat was blushing that something was going on.
“……. John?” he started quietly. John nervously looked over his shoulder at Alexander. “Yeah?”
Alexander’s ears flattened against his head. “….. did that…. turn you on or something?” he finally, hesitantly asked.
John flushed even deeper. It was quite the sight to see, especially considering the fact that it took a lot for John to get flustered. “Maybe a little…?” he replied.
Alexander’s tail went completely still as he stared down at John. His whole body went still, really.
If he was being completely honest with himself, he was feeling a bit frisky too. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to indulge in this newfound kink of John’s. He took a deep breath, and forced himself to ask.
“Do you want me to do it again?”
John’s own ears flattened against his head, his eyes widening in shock. “Alex… Are you being serious?” he questioned.
Alexander gave a small nod, smiling with just a bit of awkwardness. “Yeah, I am.”
John’s tail flicked. Did this whole thing seem a bit weird? Yes. But did he really want to try it out? Also yes. “I mean…. if you’re really alright with it, I wanna try it out.” he finally spoke.
He turned his head again and perked his ears up so Alexander could do it easier. One of Alexander’s own ears twitched. He leaned down, biting John’s ear. He tugged at it once more, and John immediately started purring loudly.
Alexander purred as well, kneading his hands against John’s upper back as his teeth dug into the soft flesh of the other man’s ear. John let out a low moan.
He felt like a freak, really.
But Alexander seemed to be liking it too, so it made him feel a little less strange about it.
“Does this feel good….?” Alexander mumbled against John’s skin. John nodded. “Hell yes…..” he breathed out. He bucked his hips, and Alexander felt his body temperature rise. He growled softly as he pressed his own hips down against John’s.
A sudden knock at the door snapped them out of their building haze.
Shit.
They’d forgotten that Lafayette and Hercules were coming over to visit and have a movie day.
And to make matters worse, John had also forgotten to lock the door.
Lafayette pushed the door open with a grin, Hercules standing behind him with a smile of his own. “You left the door unlocked, mon amis!” Lafayette said with an amused twitch of his whiskers. Hercules chuckled. “Yeah, someone could’ve robbed you if we hadn’t gotten here first.”
But both men froze when they saw the other two men on the couch and the position they were in.
They continued to stare, while Alexander and John stayed on the couch, looking almost mortified.
“….. were you two about to fuck or something?” Hercules finally asked, breaking the silence.
Alexander scrambled off of John, and he was almost shoved onto the ground as John sat up as well and bumped into him. “N-no! We were just play-fighting!” John said unconvincingly “All cats do it!”
Hercules and Lafayette glanced at each other. “Oui, but I don’t think they get as…. How you say, flustered as you and Alexander are….” the Frenchman said.
“Yeah, and I don’t think they straddle each other that hard when they’re ‘just play-fighting’ either.” Hercules added. His tail was waving now, an obvious sign of the amusement he felt.
Alexander rolled his eyes and let out a huff. “Okay, okay. Did you two at least bring your share of the snacks?” he asked, obviously trying to change the subject.
“Yep.” Hercules replied, patting the bag he had in his other hand “We were prepared for this whole movie day…. I’m not sure we can say the same for you two.” He couldn’t help but snicker, and Lafayette let out a small laugh of his own.
John rolled his eyes, though he couldn’t hide the fact he was just a little amused by their antics.
They all settled onto the couch, got their snacks, and started up the first movie of the day. During a rather dramatic musical number that none of them could stop laughing at, Lafayette leaned over by Alexander.
“I know we promised we wouldn’t bring it up again, but…. what led to you and John acting so feral in the first place…?” he asked, glancing over at Hercules and John before looking back at Alexander.
Alexander just sighed. “Don’t ask….”
So they continued with their movie day, all trying to ignore the event that had taken place earlier.
