[ He's deep in the sensation of Claude, of feeling the way the whole world seems to shape itself around him. The other man, meanwhile, quivers beneath him, his body aching to go, even though he's being as patient as ever, holding himself back, really, because Claude will do that in the name of fairness, of decency. When he grabs onto Anakin's head just a little roughly, fingers digging into his skin and making his nerves twinge, he's doing the most he'll allow himself, holding onto Anakin but never enough to take.

Anakin wants him to take. Whatever he needs, whatever he wants. But now, with years of damage and pain and grief tracking his every step, he understands that some things change you, make you less than what you were and he doesn't want that for Claude, either, never in a million years. It's a difficult balance for most, he'd expect, and for Anakin, it's impossible. He'll never achieve it.

But he can follow Claude now and get a sense of what it's like. ]


Tell me what you want.

[ He can imagine but he won't presume and he won't project, just because he knows what he wants. Even with his body as maimed and lacking as it is, his brain understands perfectly well the feel of Claude's thighs, his balls, and the urgency inherent to the way his muscles are shivering when the water drapes itself around him. He understands the breathiness in his voice and it translates itself perfectly into whatever remains of his bloodstream. With another harsh intake of breath, he folds himself, his reach, around Claude's half-hard cock, the water shaping itself like a warm, wet tunnel around his length. ]

Go on, my love. Tell me.

[ His breath catches in his throat when Claude starts thrusting upwards, his mental hold around him tightening just a fraction, carefully, so carefully. He meets the other man's gaze as they look at each other, seeing him blink against the light from the treetops. Around them, the backyard is almost completely quiet, except for the distant sound of the waves, lapping against the shore on the other side of the house. It's late out here in the mountain ranges and the world can be quiet, it seems, when there's enough space to allow the seemingly constant noise a chance to dissipate.

I want to feel you says Claude while Anakin, in turn, feels all of him, in his mind, against his body. When he drags his hand upwards along his torso, Anakin looks at him for another moment, feeling simultaneously centered within himself, within this little world they've made together, and wrung inside-out. He wants him. He wants more of him. And Claude, in turn, wants all of him so here they are, then, in the quiet, catching up to each other at last.

He shifts again, slipping his other hand into Claude's hair, cradling it between his fingers in a way that's starting to feel not just familiar but safe, like recognising a homeward path. He smiles and frees his other hand gently from Claude's grip, reaching up to clip off his mask, dropping it into the water. The air feels raw when he takes his next breath and it will hold him only for a moment - but that's what they have, anyway, isn't it. A moment. And then, strings of them, woven together slowly but surely.

Leaning in, he kisses Claude, sucking briefly on his lower lip before slipping his tongue inside, catching his warmth like that along with his breath.

Then, he runs his hand over his chest, finding his left nipple, first, and fingering it, the hot water lapping against his wrist. Beneath the surface, he keeps the slide of water around Claude's cock tight but pliant and it reminds him of other times, other days, the two of them entwined on the sheets somewhere in the sunlight with Claude pushing into him, connected and close. He groans against the other man's lips. ]

[ Claude holds onto him and Anakin doesn't let up, doesn't let go and for once, it doesn't ruin anything or kill anyone; he holds no illusions anymore with regards to himself, he's a tool for destruction first and preciously little beyond that. Claude makes it feel like more, though, he makes it feel like nothing else really matters and Anakin believes him. When Claude breaks the kiss, he stays close, feeling his body tightening against him, his thrusts growing more frantic and desperate. They keep it like that, then, letting it progress.

When Claude comes, he makes a sound that Anakin can't describe, it's small and sweet and full of something that he'd never expect to be given by anyone again, nor does he deserve it. Claude deserves to give whatever he wants of himself to whomever he chooses, however, and all other aspects of the universe must, necessarily, yield to that. He's comfortable with that idea. He always has been. He keeps his hold on him through his climax, until Claude's hips still and his breathing grows slower, though no less ragged. Anakin, in turn, has been out of breath for several seconds too long and he grabs his mask with the Force, plunging it back onto his face, uncaring about the wetness of it and how it makes his first intake of breath feel like he's basically inhaling half the tub.

All he cares about is how complete this feels. The two of them, in the quiet together.

Yeah, he's alright with that.

Shifting, he slips his arm around Claude's shoulders and pulls him close against his side, leaning back against the tub. He closes his eyes, his hold on the Force lessening to nothing, except perhaps for a hint of pressure against Claude's midriff, like a warm palm, lingering only briefly. ]
