Bonus Content: Verus x Arka rut scene + Xerxes info

A concept for a longer scene / set of scenes for Skyset Knights or a personal piece of writing for myself. Includes some info on Xerxes as there are some new dynamics here that are unusual (this is a result of their guilds intersecting.) The general concept I imagined was: What if Arka went into rut, as monsters do, and Verus had fun teasing him before finally letting him fuck him? It's a fun idea but one that requires specific care to each of the situations / characters.  ---

Verus: Let's play a game, shall we? 

Arka's tongue darts in time with his panting breaths. A lick of heat on his skin in anticipation of Verus's every movement, that one might press him against heated flesh.

Verus, drawing closer, placing one electrifying fingertip on Arka's chin pulling slightly towards him. His voice low and hungry: How badly do you want to fuck me...?

I imagined it as a handful of fragment scenes leading up to the 'main event' sex scenes.

Background ---

The Skyset Knights don't often need a mage's help, but in this particular quest they've taken on, their foes are large in number and the benefit of a mage's area of effect range can't be understated. It is unusual for Verus to accompany them in their guild's entirety - Arka or Jet are probably the only ones who can convince him to come along - but this time, it was Verus himself who agreed to go with little convincing. An intriguing aspect of this mission piqued his interest - as another half-monster, he can tell that Arka is about to go into rut, as monster people do occasionally. What better way to torture him erotically than to make him earn rutting in him over the course of a few long days and coaxing him into fucking him within earshot of his guild...?

⦁ Technology notes: 

Inventory: With their new inventory system, they can pretty much Final Fantasy XV their items out of the air, including weapons, supplies and tent stuff. The only limit is the number of items they can carry, not how big things are.

Feathercrystal: The all-purpose small gold-laurel-wreath/gold-feather-shaped magickal device wth a crystal - which goes over the ear (like an ear cuff, unpierced) to provide a way for adventurers to communicate mostly during battle. With some modifications, they can also block out the sounds of battle and focus on their companions' voices only, as well as provide a way to privately play music for just their owner (it's not blaring out or anything) or just chat during downtime. 

EVENTS:

- This quest forces them to travel to somewhere remote / without fast travel, so it's at least a few days of them being around each other (the days won't be written out in full). The Skyset Knights are pretty friendly but Verus sticks out among most of them, aesthetically and in temperament. He finds himself surprisingly tolerant of their presence as they are intelligent, kind, and do not try to harm or belittle him for what he is (mage, half-monster). This is the general vibe to give context to the setting.

- At the beginning of their travels together, Arka tells Verus he feels that he is about to go in rut (Verus thinks, 'I know / I can tell') and seems embarrassed about it because he's very sweet and not lecherous, but he knows he will want relief soon.

- Verus 'misusing' the feathercrystal at Arka's ear to rile him up when he's alone* (maybe Verus telling him dirty things / jerking off while he has it on and 'accidentally' leaving it on for Arka to listen**?)

* alone time during a mission: contemplating the stars, pissing, gathering herbs for potions

**Arka has made it known that he consents to this: He is still (very pleasantly) surprised when Verus chooses that avenue to 'express himself' towards him 'in public' though lol. It is pretty private though, meant for his ears only.

- Verus humiliating him by jerking off tantalizingly close by, making him 'earn' being closer to him by having Arka hump a pillow and cum while still fully (or mostly) clothed and watching / enjoying the view

! - If Jet or Xerxes were to be involved, here might make the most sense, or combined with the previous scene. They could even spitroast him for Verus' viewing pleasure?

- Verus letting Arka thighfuck him from behind (Arka's cock below Verus')

- When Arka is finally rutting in Verus over and over, Verus aggressively asks him to make more sound for him, to moan louder so his companions know how much he loves fucking him.

- End: A tender scene, Verus holding Arka while they both quietly recover, and Arka is no longer in rut. Verus pets and kisses Arka very softly until he goes to sleep in his arms.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:

VERUS x ARKA:

⦁ They describe each other as 'confidants'*, as I had realized that the sexual, romantic  and platonic aspects of their relationship are built upon trust first and foremost. Arka and Verus would never reveal each other's secrets. Arka trusts that a slap or smack during sex is for pleasure and never out of anger, and Verus trusts that Arka wouldn't mortify him with overt PDA**, for example. 

⦁ *The term is also secretive enough for Verus as to it's exact nature. As in his job as head of the Alliance, he values certain kinds of privacy.

That said, everyone at least knows they're fucking. If they don't by the beginning of this story, the definitely do at the end lol

⦁ **An embrace, Arka nuzzling his head on Verus, or Verus petting him are acceptable though. 

CHARACTER DYNAMICS AND DESCRIPTIONS:

Dynamics:

ARKA x XERXES

An inexperienced, unhoned blade and his experienced, strong companion - who happens to be one of the leaders of their guild. Arka had read about Xerxes and his party's journey to save the world from the sorcerer which prompted him to ask him for guidance about his newfound magicks in Sarcius in the first place - there is some warm hero-worship feelings from Arka to Xerxes, and protective 'I was like you once' feelings from Xerxes to Arka. 

When they're alone together, there's potential for quite a bit of physical touch between them even when they're not fucking. When they are, it's because these two are the most innocently horny people of the main cast, and when the chance presents itself it takes very little to make their big cocks hard and precumming for each other.

XERXES & JET:

Two 'bodyguards' protecting their charges, and also subtly fighting for dominance. Lots of sexual tension since they're both the guardian type and disagree on what's best for their allies. They are strong in different ways, physically and emotionally, but very alike when it comes to the things they like during sex, even down to liking collars, being bound, wearing harnesses, and thigh highs (as in those scenes with Xerxes in By My Hand). Even though Xerxes is the sweeter person, he tops more often than Jet does, and he's more dominant. 

They've never fucked, however I imagine it wouldn't be difficult for one of them to suggest sating their curiosity for the other. They're the types to start off 'formal' with each other around (the staredown during foreplay) and gradually let loose (a sexy, sweaty blushing panting mess). 

VERUS & XERXES:

Two contrasting leaders of their respective guilds; one a master of magicks whose main trade is working with secrets of the powerful, and the other a battle-honed swordsman who makes a living helping everyday people. Verus is tinier than Xerxes in every way, but Xerxes is intimidated by him and wary - yet, for each, the thought persists: 'if Arka trusts him, I can trust him too'. Which makes for an interesting meeting if they ever find themselves alone in each others' company. Which also means that Verus basically has him wrapped around his finger should he ever want something.

They've never fucked, but Xerxes has a dark curiosity for him and his ideas. It may be that sort of 'temptation of the devil' feeling (which drew Arka to his side as well).

XERXES PHOENIX

Species: half-centaur, half-minotaur; djinni

Age: 30s

Height: 6’4”

Build: muscular upper body from sword training, agile strong legs from adventuring

Identity: pansexual, he/him

Relationships: Xerxes x Ravi, Xerxes x Osric, Xerxes x Ramzi, Xerxes x Arka, Xerxes x Ruby

Polycules (part of a multi-relationship with…): 

⦁ Xerxes x Ravi x Osric x Ramzi

Occupation: Swordsman

Hobbies: reading, sewing, baking, cooking

Other: 

⦁ Didn’t know he was half-centaur half-minotaur until the night before the god of sex and war / god of humans Strato was supposed to make him his vessel. Always assumed he was human.

⦁ Was chosen by Strato himself to be the Vessel for his mortal form.

⦁ The only one of the main cast to directly threaten (and almost kill) a god. (So far.)

⦁ Has an aversion to magic due to his upbringing in the Sect of Strato, but has mostly learned to tolerate it’s use over the years. Mages unnerve him a bit still, though.

⦁ Wears prosthesis on his legs (he can walk and run now): made of specially enchanted materials, including a metal inner skeleton and warm, soft silicone outer layer.

⦁ Went mute due to the djinni curse years ago, however…

⦁ …Thanks to the Alliance of the Sphinx’s magickal expertise, and thanks to the favor Verus owed Koruma for ‘saving his life’ when he was little, Xerxes was able to bargain for a way for him to speak again in return for his help - this manifested in the creation of a bespoke crystal pendant, that when kept in his inventory, allows him to speak instead of having to use sign language. 

⦁ If he were to lose the crystal, he cannot speak - unless he is kidnapped, this is unlikely to happen.

⦁ A slight fear of fire, due to a fire taking his legs from him when he and Osric were on a mission as knights of Alanoc.

⦁ Is surprisingly agile for his muscular build, but exactly as strong as you’d expect those pecs and arms to be (he can easily lift someone his own size over his head or carry two people under his arms)

⦁ Quite introverted and domestic, but opens up easily to people if they approach him first.

⦁ Likes: reading, cooking, baking, adventuring

⦁ Dislikes: some forms of magic, vulgar people

⦁ Has a thick, long, uncut cock. The biggest non-monster cock of the main cast. Mostly a shower - he's very big flaccid too.

Description: 

A kind, gentle swordsman who has an affinity for cooking, does his best, and is generally a physically strong, affectionate, lovable guy. The presumed human but actually half-centaur half-minotaur warrior who was almost the mortal body of the god of sex and war, Strato. 

Though he is very nice, he can absolutely wreck people if he needs to (which hasn’t come up that often, thankfully). He does his best to do right for a higher purpose outside himself, but not in a religious sense. 

Fell in love with his swordsman mentor Ravi in the Sect of Strato, then Ramzi from Zhendo when he escaped the Sect, and then Osric when he moved to Alanoc to become a knight. Lost his legs, lost his voice, but optimistic and happy to have help from the few in his life who really love him for who he is. He tends to take the leadership role to be a hero to those who he thinks look up to him (he wants people to see that he is good and worthy - and maybe convince himself of the same) and is driven to fight for how he believes the world should be.  

Pretty much everyone who meets him likes him because he’s a nice, sweet guy. And this is also why he has sex with so many people too lol. He’s another wholesome type, where even if he is audaciously naked or fucking, he's innocent enough about it that he seems quite wholesome.

Xerxes is pretty open-minded to a lot of things during intimate time with others. He has a very loving personality and likes to give all of himself as much as he can - this usually means fucking someone to oblivion in powerful deep thrusts, as he is very good at that (and has received rave reviews from his casual and committed partners. Five stars, would be fucked by Xerxes again lol). 

Kinks he likes: large bottom (of which he is) / small top; size difference, watersports (not drinking it or having the mouth be involved, just pissing on someone / being pissed on). He's also quite good at tying his partners in shibari bondage and uses a red rope. He's also very into being the one tied up in shibari as well, and being a sub / bottom during BDSM scenes. Note: Xerxes would never strike anyone during sex, but he would be OK with being smacked or hit on the ass by someone else.

Character closest to: I hate this word, but he is very much a himbo archetype - a large, sweet muscular guy - but like, an intelligent one, so I guess that sort of disqualifies him. Maybe like Sergei from Tales of Zestiria if he was not so oblivious and loudmouthed? There’s not very many ‘big guy’ characters who are sweet and sensitive where they’re more than a joke side character, you know?
