DREAM OF BETTER LIVES
Ramon had been trying his best not to pry throughout his and Bullfrog's recent travels. It was his idea to accompany the hybrid on his quest to retrieve the remaining evidence of the once-great guild that he was attached to. However, he generally avoided asking questions because the other seemed very shut-off and secretive when it came to the subject, so he respected that. It still felt uncomfortable and made his heart clench when he would notice the amphibian withdraw. He strived to be the rock for him, especially because Bullfrog was unknowingly the one grounding force in his own life in return. He desperately wanted to make sure that the feeling was mutual, even if the other wasn't the most open individual.
He shook his head as he brought himself back to full awareness. He found his eyes glued to Bullfrog's sleeping form, watching as embers flickered and bathed him in that dying yet heavenly glow. A disembodied hand found itself cupping the frog's cheek, leaving Ramon with a gentle smile curling on his lips.
He was rather fond of his companion, much more than he'd like to let on. He didn't anticipate becoming so attached after they saved one another's lives, both metaphorically and literally in Bullfrog's case. Back in his line of work, he generally avoided getting close to people; attachments were dangerous and commonly exploited. This was different, however, Bullfrog was one of the most sincere individuals he had ever met and it set his heart aflutter. It had been so long since he felt this level of affection, he was almost worried that his ability to form connections died when he had severed his ties to Betilla all those years ago. That said, this was different. It was a very distinctly separate type of affection that he wasn't used to. Sure, he wasn't unfamiliar with the carnal pleasures and fleeting hits of dopamine rushes that overtook his career. This was more emotional, these feelings he had been cultivating had more to go off of than just mere magnetic attraction to the hybrid.
Still, he did find Bullfrog incredibly attractive. Watching him fight filled the former star with so much excitement that he would become lightheaded and flushed. His acrobatics were something to behold and witnessing those calculated yet graceful strikes filled Ramon with fluttering moths, leaving a warm pit in his entrails. It was divine.
Once again lost in his thoughts, he swallowed thickly and stared at the figure before him. Bullfrog stirred as he slept, brows knitting together whilst a grimace twisted his features. It left a pang in his heart as he watched the display, floating hands reaching over to provide any sort of comfort they possibly could. This shocked the hybrid awake with a jolt, breathing heavily while the hands retreated back to their equally startled owner.
“Ah-! Sorry, you looked like you were having a bad dream,” he murmured, looking away from that piercing golden stare. Some former protector of dreams he was, no wonder the glade was destroyed.
“That's sweet of you.” Bullfrog's voice, while clearly husky from sleep, was as mellifluous as ever.
He couldn't tear his eyes away from him, throat tightening as he tried to form words but they merely died on his tongue.
“I love you.”
It was barely above a whisper but it shocked the frog even moreso to full alertness all the same. He stared at him, unblinking. Ramon could feel his hands growing clammier and his throat tightening even more under that intense gaze.
“Say it again.”
He was slack-jawed as Bullfrog furrowed his brow, shifting to an upright position. “Ramon,” he stated plainly and leaned in towards him, “Say it again, please.”
His throat was tight as he shifted in place, leaning towards Bullfrog as well. “I love you,” the words were repeated ever so slightly louder, but just enough for only the hybrid to hear. It was just for the two of them.
Now, Bullfrog was fiercely smashing their lips together, colliding in a messy mass of clashing teeth and invading tongues. Ramon's hands found themselves wandering under the assassin's robes, eliciting a gentle groan as he pulled him in closer by his hoodie strings. He was grateful for his lack of a neck because he was absolutely certain that with Bullfrog's strength and the steamy atmosphere, he likely would be quickly asphyxiated.
With a hum, he pulled away slowly and started to peel the hoodie off of the former star, all while looking towards him for confirmation. “Is this okay?” he inquired, mostly to make sure. Ramon nodded fervently, a wide yet shaky grin creeping across his face. The amphibian snickered to himself as he tossed aside the garment, getting right back to peppering kisses across Ramon's now-bare shoulders.
His heart pounded in his ears as Bullfrog held his torso down, strong webbed fingers sprawled out across his bare chest. He swallowed thickly and stared up towards him, a gentle pink dusting across his features with a lopsided grin.
“Oh Ramon, mon chéri. Despite this image you put up nowadays,” he cooed, pulling the former celebrity close, “You are still soft at the end of the day.” He began to pepper light kisses along his jawline, a hiss ripping out from clenched teeth in shock. He let out a shaky sigh, hands finding themselves resting on the amphibian's hips. A smirk curled on Bullfrog's lips as he slowly undresses himself, planting more wet kisses across Ramon's features with each layer removed.
He was transfixed with the hybrid's body. He had lain with other hybrids before, but something about him was special to him. He supposed that it was the utter adoration he held towards him. That was probably it. He ran a finger along the defined musculature, breath hitching at the sight of Bullfrog's slit as it oozed between his legs. He felt his own tdick throb at the sight, hungrily leaning upwards to capture the frog's lips in a sloppy kiss. Slowly with a flick and lick across the seam of his lips, his mouth was carefully invaded by the frog's long tongue as it probed his maw. He groaned shakily, grappling onto jade flesh for purchase. Bullfrog pulled back with a hum and straddled the fallen star's torso, a smirk curling the corners of his swollen lips.
“Ah, you are quite desperate down there,” the hybrid teased as he bucked his hips against Ramon's, who arched his back with a shaky moan and a slight whimper.
That pleasant shock of pleasure ran along his spine and he quickly clamped his snout shut, his face an intense shade of scarlet at how quickly he was falling apart.
Careful fingers pried his jaws apart and away from floating hands, pressing down on his tongue as they stroked at his prominent canines. Ramon was generally insecure of his extra set of fangs during moments of intimacy, but the lack of judgement in the air eased his concerns a touch. Just a touch, though. He whined as Bullfrog continued to examine his mouth, cooing while occasionally rolling his hips against Ramon's. His head was spinning and he knew that he craved more of that delicious friction, the fleeting moments were just not enough.
“Let's get you out of those pants,” Bullfrog murmured as he shuffled them off with ease, the lack of limbs definitely aiding in the task. Ramon honestly hadn't even processed that he still had his pants on, despite the stickiness forming in his briefs as he grew even more hot and bothered. He definitely needed to make sure to wash those really well later. With that in mind, he watched with half-lidded eyes whilst Bullfrog threw the articles of clothing aside. The room definitely was going to look like a hurricane crashed through, but neither one of them cared much.
In an instant, the hybrid was immediately back to kissing him with as much fervour as he could muster, webbed hands gripping onto exposed hips. Ramon found himself kissing back and a floating hand rested on the back of Bullfrog's head as he deepened the kiss, rolling his hips up towards the frog's. Bullfrog pulled away from the kiss and straddled his hips, pressing his growth against the other's with a pleased hum. He slowly grinded his hips against his, groaning shakily at that blissful friction. He pressed several light kisses along his jaw and across his shoulders, brushing a thumb along the faded scars that curved around his pecs.
“You're so gorgeous,” the hybrid murmured as he rolled his hips down against him, moaning shakily. Ramon ran his hands along Bullfrog's waist, murmuring words of affection before kissing him sweetly. He kissed back with equal amounts of sweetness and as soon as he pulled away, he pressed his forehead against Ramon's.
“Je t'aime.”
A gentle smile graced his lips and filled the former star's heart with those warm fuzzy feelings. “Breaking out the French just for me, how romantic,” he teased, immediately getting interrupted by a shaky moan ripping straight from his throat as Bullfrog grinded his clit against his own. “Jesus,” he hissed, gritting his teeth as he rolled his hips back up against the frog's, groaning louder, “Frog, you're killing me.”
Bullfrog hummed as he slowly thrust his hips against Ramon's, “Good. That's what I do best, trained by only one of the greatest.”
“Oh, you tricky little bastard,” he cackled, gripping tightly onto the amphibian's defined hips as he kissed him fiercely. He pulled him down as that long tongue snaked into his mouth, twisting around Ramon's own tongue. He gasped quietly as he dug his fingers into jade flesh, tilting his head to deepen the kiss. Bullfrog pulled away slowly, staring him down with half-lidded eyes and a slight grin.
He buried his face into the space where Ramon's neck would be as he quickened his pace, grinding their tdicks together with a symphony of shaky moans from both parties. As his movements grew more fervent, those sweet sounds spilled from his lips even faster and louder. He started babbling in his native tongue, just barely comprehensible. “Can't hear you, froggy,” he rasped, panting heavily as he slinked one of his hands down to toy with both of their cocks. He inhaled sharply with a hiss, hips sharply snapping upwards.
“You're an ass,” Bullfrog mumbled, opting to shut the other man up with yet another sloppy kiss. Ramon eagerly returned the kiss, but he knew he could feel the encroaching heat pooling in his guts. From the growing erratic movements, he was certain that Bullfrog was hurling towards his own climax as well.
He pulled away and pressed his forehead against the frog's with a sweet smile, “Cum with me, please?” He nodded in response, chest heaving as he continued with his feverish pace to chase that high. With a sharp whine and roll of his hips, he arched his back as he came crashing down with a messy explosion. He breathed heavily as Ramon quickly followed suit, chuckling weakly as he felt the creeping stickiness dripping onto his nethers.
The hybrid rolled off of him and lied beside him, curling into his side. His breathing was steadily levelling out as he wrapped his arms around the former star's midsection, a floating hand rubbing his shoulder sweetly. He furrowed his brow as he glanced over at Bullfrog, watching that shadow of melancholy creep back over him.
“Are you still thinking about them?” he asked softly, snapping Bullfrog back to reality. He blinked at him with a shaky laugh.
“Yeah, I guess I still am,” he admitted, rolling back onto his back, “I dunno. I miss them a lot.” Ramon rubbed gently at his back, burying his snout into the hybrid's neck.
“I love you. I really do, like a lot. I'm glad that we found each other, y'know. Despite everything.”
His free hand found one of the frog's and laced their fingers together, smiling gently at him. Bullfrog gave him a very chaste kiss, pressing their foreheads together once more.
“I love you too.”
Ramon turned over to curl around the hybrid to the best of his abilities, holding him close and tight. Slowly, the pair started to drift off to sleep. Ramon may not be a protector of dreams now anymore after the destruction of the Glade, but he could be there to ward off any further bad dreams that Bullfrog may have. That's all he wanted to do and he wanted to devote himself entirely to. He felt like he was created solely for that task and he aimed to stick to it. It was the closest thing he had to his actual purpose that he was created for, just on a smaller scale.
Plus, they still had a long journey ahead of them that they had to attend to. Bullfrog was on a very important self-assigned mission and Ramon was determined to help him in any way he could. It was the least he could do.
