Summer Sanctuary von me_meron_pan ================================================================================ Prolog: -------- Green fields, fresh air and the sound of seagulls drawing circles in the sky. With the scenery passing by like this and the sound of Max singing along to this summer's biggest hits on the radio, it almost felt as if they were on their way to vacation. Probably everyone in the car thought that. ''I can't stand this indisicion~'' Max sang along, doing his best impression of Ronald Orzabal.   Yes, it felt like summer vacation. Not that Ash had ever been on summer vacation before, but he felt extactly the same he would feel when watching one of those summer movies where a bunch of teens were on their way to stay at someone's parent's house for a few days and having parties and quickies going on. Or at least that's what he imagined those summers would feel like. Their almost five hour drive up to Cape Cod turned out to take even longer with Ibe and Eiji wanting to stop whenever they passed a nice spot for memorable pictures, but Ash wouldn't mind. No one would mind. It was summer after all and they had all decided to take some time to unwind. ''We should grant them one last summer...'' Max recalled the night he had talked with Shunichi about it. They were aware - the things which were about to come wouldn't be pleasant and the chances were high that at least one of them, his eyes lingering on Ash, wouldn't make it out alive. His jade green eyes looked sad in a nostalgic way, staring off into the distance as they passed a small seaside town. Max felt sorry for the boy, his pain probably indescribable.   ''Everybody wants to rule the world~'' he decided to sing along again, shaking the thoughts off. It was time for vacation after all.   A small cottage near a cliff. It looked like someone had taken it right out of a picture book. Made out of white wood, small window casements with a nice amount of wild flowers growing around it. The old couple who had rented them the cottage had obviously taken care of their little treasure. Shunichi and Eiji had to take pictures of the house first before anyone was allowed to enter, Max getting their stuff out of the trunk while Ash stared off into the wide horizon in front of them.   ''How about we go see beach first?“ Eiji suggested as soon as they were done taking pictures. He had gone on and on about how he wanted to see if the beach was any different to the ones in his home town. A questioning gaze to Ibe, a nod was all it took for Eiji to pull Ash along. ''Youth!'' Max chuckled as he scratched the back of his head, watching the two of them taking off to head to the beach. ''But hey! Dinner at six, alright?“ he called out to them, making sure they wouldn't be late.   ''You definitely are a father.'' Shunichi joked as he helped his friend carrying their stuff inside. The open entryway, a small porch with a hollywood swing and a couple of windowboxes with white flowers growing inside. The perfect picture book dream. The ocean breeze going from one window through the other in the house was refreshing, making unpacking not as exhausting as they had imagined it to be in this summer heat.   ''How about we leave it be and go take a look at the beach as well?'' Shunichi suggested with a wink, visibly eager to get some relaxation. ''You had me at 'leave it be', friend.''   ~ Of course the camera wouldn't stay at home and so both of them took a stroll across the beach, Max helping Shunichi finding good spots and angles for his pictures. After a while they came across the boys, caught up in playing volleyball. Running around, laughing like maniacs, Eiji calling out for Ash to toss him the ball. It was nice to see them this carefree for a change, was what both Max and Ibe had thought as they watched.   ''Wanna join them old man?'' Max asked the other, winking at him this time before pushing his elbow into Ibe's side, taking off in a sprint. ''Got some spots left for old geezers like us?'' ''We'll crush you guys!''   Summer vacation. ~   ''Oof! I need a break, guys! Time out! Time out!'' Max called out first, drops of sweat rolling down his forehead as he finally casted his already unbuttoned shirt aside.   ''I am pretty tired as well.'' Shunichi chimed in, letting himself fall into the sand. Ash rolled his eyes, chuckling as his eyes wandered over to Eiji. He didn't seem bothered or out of breath at all. Stunning. ''How about I get you guys some ice cream from over there?'' Max suggested, the treating vacation mood of a father rolling over him all of a sudden as he spotted the small ice cream truck surrounded by teens and families who were also busy enjoying their summer.   ''I'll help you, old man.'' Ash decided to tag along.   There was silence between them, just some laughters from afar and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. A calm moment as sunlight warmed their skin. ''Enjoying it so far?'' Max broke the silence as they waited for their turn to order, leaning agains the side of the truck with his arms crossed against his chest. Ash only nodded in reply, giving a smile. It was an honest one and yet weakend from the troubles they had already gone through. It was that moment Max swore he'd make their stay in Cape Cod one of Ash's brightest memories. He still remembered his first vacation with Jessica and Michael, how they built sandcastles and looked for seashells...   ''Choose whatever flavors you like, my treat.''   ''Why so generous all of a sudden?'' Ash asked with a rised eyebrow, a bratty grin on his face. Max rolled his eyes, shrugging it off, ''A simple 'thank you' would've been enough.'' he chuckled in the end.   Banana, pican, chocolate chip, cherry. Ash got the same combo for Eiji. It was a combo neither Max nor Eiji would ever forget.   A lot of things happened in the next day, things Max would always remember. Like the laugh of two boys fishing in the river before throwing each other in with their clothes still on, or Ash's tired gaze as his head popped out from the high grass they were resting in, the shade of that old tree in front of their cottage shielding them from the sun. The sound of their loud bragging as they decided to climb the tree, seeing who could climb it faster, who could climb higher, or their soft talk over the camp fire in a warm summer night as they knotted some friendship bracelets.   It felt soothing to see Ash this carefree, easing some of the heaviness around Max's heart. He was sure, if Griff could see them, he'd be the happiest.   Hot days at the beach passed, warm nights under the bright stars went by and withing the blink of an eye, they'd be on their way back to New York again. The night before they'd went back home too was... something Max would never forget.   ~   It was a breezy yet warm evening with their last day well-spent sightseeing around the peninsula. Their dinner was Max's long promised barbeque with self-made burgers and spareribs made after old Glenreed family recipes. There were jokes and laughters, not a moment spent in silence. Light-hearted and happy, accompanied with the soft strumming of a guitar Shunichi had found in the living room. No one had known the photographer knew how to play. Max was pretty sure Ash's laughter had set the mood. He couldn't help but think about how much more he wanted to see Ash smile like this, wanted to hear him laugh till his face was all red and breathing a secondary task over laughing.   ''Beautiful...''   As the hour turned late, Shunichi and Eiji had went to bed already, leaving Max and Ash cleaning the dishes. ''I am gonna sit outside on the porch and have a drink before heading to bed but if you're tired, feel free to go to sleep. I'll clean the rest.'' he offered, making his neck crack a little.   ''Shouldn't old geezers like you go to bed early? Don't you wanna join Eiji and Ibe for their morning yoga?''   ''Little brat...'' Ash took up on the offer in the end, heading upstairs to get ready. With Max having time on his own, his thoughts to himself, he finally leaned back in the hollywood swing on the porch. He had spent the whole day in the car, discussing and bickering over where to go next before spending the rest of the evening in the kitchen and in front of their grill. ''What a pain...'' he sighed to himself, taking a sip of his beer. ''At least he got to smile some more... so guess it was worth it...''   He found himself smiling at the thought of Ash finally having some fun. ''God Griff, your brother is amazing...''   And all of a sudden, a fit of sadness broke through that mellow mood of the evening. It took his everything not to tear up, pinching the bridge of his nose as he furrowed his brows cursing under his breath. ''Shit, Griff... What am I supposed to do?''   It was the sound of the front door opening, a soft creaking filling his ears as he winced, quickly wiping some small tears aside as he looked up to face the blonde youth once more. ''Huh? You crying or what?'' Ash asked with a cunning grin, one eyebrow raised.   ''What's with you brat? Need daddy to put you to bed?'' Max teased back before taking another sip from his half-empty bottle of warm beer. Disgusting.   Silence on both ends, Ash joined the other man. They sat next to each other, the warm summer breeze blowing through their hair as the distant sound of crashing waves filled the night. Ash's restless leg brought the hollywood swing into movement, rocking them back and forth with a silent creaking.   ''I don't want it to end...'' it broke out of the teen. ''I don't want to go back to New York.'' he sighed, a little hesitant still but it didn't take long for his tongue to finally unwind. ''I- I want to stay here a-and enjoy my time with Eiji and you guys... I-I want to be seventeen for a little longer...''   Max didn't notice at first, only when Ash's voice cracked a little, he could also feel his body shake next to him.   ''Ash...''   The blonde turning his head to the side was enough to shut Max up again.   ''I feel like a normal boy for the first time - just this one time... I want things to stay as they are...''   Pain. Anger. Sadness. A mix of emotions rushed over Max all of a sudden, the urge to protect this boy growing stronger than ever before.   ''Want to come a little closer? I-It's cold after all...'' A blatant lie, both of them knew and yet, neither of them cared. Without a word Ash followed, sitting sideways to cross his legs over Max's lap, clinging onto him like a child. He was acting on instinct as he put both of his arms around the boy, one hand stroking his back while the other brushed through some of those blonde strands. It somehow reminded him of Michael, how he'd be woken up at night because his baby had a nightmare. How many nightmares Ash must've had...   ''I-It's okay. You can stay like this a little longer. T-There's nothing we need to rush...'' Max had no idea what to tell Ash after all, but he knew one thing for sure. ''I'll always be there to protect you if you want to be seventeen again. I promise.''   ''Thanks, Dad...'' Ash whispered into his chest, hiding his face as slender arms wrapped around Max's strong body. ''It's okay, Son.'' he chuckled, rubbing the boy's back before they'd spend some more time sitting, relaxing in silence as the waves kept crashing in the distance. They were both mending some wounds, both soothing each other's pain.   The had found their little summer sanctuary... Kapitel 1: ----------- The drive back to New York wasn't as cheerful and loud as their first journey there. Eiji and Ash slept some more in the back of the car, Shunichi tried to read the map while Max didn't sing along to any song the radio played. The japanese part of their group wasn't aware of what had happened last night after all... It was something both Ash and Max had agreed on never talking about again.   After they had enjoyed each other's company in silence for a while, Max grew tired of his lukewarm beer, suggesting to get something more to his taste. Shunichi had gotten a bottle of whiskey for the two of them for when Ash and Eiji wouldn't be around and ended up only drinking one glass in the end. He sticked to beer for the rest of their vacation, leaving the bottle to Max whenever they'd get a chance to drink some more. Offering Ash a glass of whiskey probably wasn't a wise parent's move, but what followed after wasn't either so it wouldn't have made a change anyway. The leather watch around Max wrist read 01:33 as they had emptied the remaining alcohol from last night, it read 01:34 as Ash shifted his position to fully sit on Max's lap. ''What'cha doing boy..?'' he asked, backing off a little.   ''Being the slut I was raised to be...'' he whispered, a raunchy smile curling up on his lips before he pressed them against the other's. Wanting to protest at first, Max soon found just how much he had craved the feeling of soft lips against his own, had missed the feeling of slight weight shifting against his body. One kiss after the other, barely time to take a breath in between, Max paused after a while, staring onto Ash's lips, red and abused from all their kissing and biting. His eyes wandered up to the other's, his face showing how serious he was all of a sudden.   ''We should take this upstairs I think...''   Without Ash showing any hesitance, he held onto his wrist, firm yet not painful, as he lead the way inside and into his room. They were lucky the cottage had three bed rooms, Ash and Eiji sharing one, Shunichi and Max each had a bedroom for themselves. Once Max had made sure Eiji's and Ibe's doors were shut, as well as his own, he continued kissing Ash, a sudden heat spreading throughout his body. Was it the whiskey? Was it Ash? He didn't know – wouldn't care. Once he had taken their making out to the bed he stopped once more, again looking Ash straight in the eyes. ''Just making this clear, you're not a slut to me, boy.''   Ash chuckled, ''You're the first one to say such a thing, are you sure about that?'' he asked, his knee pressing against the other's crotch, massaging the bulge.   ''Ash,'' his voice stern, pinning Ash to the mattress with his arms next to each side of Ash. ''You're not a slut to me. No matter where you come from or what they've taught you.'' He paused before pressing one more kiss onto Ash's soft lips. ''You're not a slut.'' Ash would never admit it but within the heat of the moment, he almost grew emotional with Max's words still ringing in his ear. You're not a slut...   Not a slut...   ''Fine, then fuck me - dad.'' he huffed, almost sounding a little pouty. ''Kinky, aren't we, son?'' It was more teasing each other than actually meaning it and still, they would stick to calling each other those names the entire night. It started with Ash preparing himself in front of Max, knowing how to move, how to bend, what face to make as he pushed his first two fingers into himself. ''Look at me, dad. Only me.''   Max couldn't hide the red on his cheeks as he watched on, listening to Ash's lewd whispers as he pushed one more finger past his sensitive ring of muscles.   ''This could be you, look how much I am twitching~''' Ash purred, gently swaying his bottom as he continued his act.   Not long after making Max watch a little more, Ash shuffled his position once more, kneeling in front of the other as he looked up at him, a hint of fake innocence in his eyes. ''You never had another guy suck your dick, right? Or what did you guys do back then in those lonely nights in vietnam?'' Maybe it was Ash being too sexy, maybe it was the fact he found the blonde's words a little too disrespectful but Max couldn't keep his hand out of those blond locks, pushing his cock into Ash's mouth to make him shut up.   ''Quit your talking already...'' he mumbled, avoiding Ash's gaze as he felt a skilled tongue dancing around his shaft. It drove a shiver down his back, the grip in Ash's hair growing stronger as some silent cursing came over his lips. Ash enjoyed the view, seeing the other trying his best to resist, to play it off cool. It was the moment he felt Max's cock start twitching in his mouth that he decided to stop, keeping him on edge a little longer. He turned around on all fours, sticking his bottom up as if it was something offered on a silver tablet.   ''Fuck me, daddy.''   Max hesitated. ''Come on, fuck me al-'' ''Turn around.''   A stern command. A command that almost threw Ash off guard.   ''You want me like this?'' he asked, doing as he was told, spreading his legs wide to reveal pale skin and a hungry hole, eager to be filled with Max's astounding girth.   ''I said you're not a slut to me, so I won't fuck you like one. We'll make this one count to the times you'll never forget, alright?'' Max explained, leaning in closer, his presence pinning Ash against the bed almost effortlessly. He didn't want to be one of those quick fucks Ash would forget, being one among countless other's wasn't what he desired in that moment.   ''Big words for someone who's never done it with a guy, you think you're up to that challenge, dad?'' Ash asked with a cunning smile.   ''I'll make sure of that, baby.''   This time it was Ash who could barely hide the hint of red his ears had taken on, wanting to avoid the other's soft smile as he felt a thumb brush against his cheek and lip.   ''Dirty old man.'' he pouted before pressing his body upwards to meet Max.   Ash had casted his clothes to the side at some point while Max was still fully covered, only his pants and zipper undone. He stepped back a moment, his clothes joining Ash's on the floor. In that moment, that one moment in which Ash felt Max's bare skin against his own for the first time, it drove goosebumps all over his body, one shiver following the other. And all of a sudden, everything around them was warm and so very soft, his slutty act casted away as Max stared into those jade-green eyes.   ''I told you, I'd take care of you.''   For a moment Ash felt like a boy again, unsure and nervous, almost a little scared, over how the mood had changed all of a sudden. ''Nice and easy, okay? We can always stop. I won't do anything you don't like.'' What was it that threw Ash off of his act oh so suddenly? Was it fear? Fear that Max wouldn't stop when he wanted to? That it were empty words after all? No, he knew Max wouldn't do such a thing, so why was he scared?   ''C-Can you... Hold my hand?'' he asked almost shyly, turning his head to the side. ''If you want me to.'' Max whispered, pressing another soft kiss onto Ash's lips as their fingers entwined. Soft and slender, rough and calloused. Max made sure to take his time, made sure Ash was really aware of what was going on even though the alcohol in his body made his desire to fuck him mercilessly so much worse. He felt how fragile Ash was in that moment, noticed his gentle shivers, the nervousity as his fingers kept shifting. It even drove a small wince out of Ash as he felt Max's cock press against his entrance, immediately tensing up as he felt it pushing past, entering the heat of his body. ''Ah!''   Slowy – so very slowly, Max pushed in deeper, letting Ash feel every inch.   ''Nice and slow, right?'' he reminded Ash once more, a gentle smile on his face as he started to move more and more. At some point he wasn't really sure how or what to do, he had never slept with a guy before after all... But the more he found Ash to relax in his arms, the more confident he grew in what he was doing. The first moan of the other almost made him buck his hips too hard, only resulting in an even louder moan.   ''W-Was that, good?'' he asked, repeating this motion one more time, only to get the same result out of Ash. ''Y-Yeah, like that, dad.''   There was almost no holding back now. The effect of the word 'dad' out of Ash's mouth was incredible. He slowly built up pace, put more strength into his thrusts as he aimed for that one special spot which drove the cutest reactions out of Ash. Gasps, moans, soft begs not to stop, requests to hold him tighter. Ash wasn't shy anymore, had finally found a way to relax in his situation, had found trust in what Max was doing. Both of them felt that familiar tension building up in their stomach, aching to be released as Max tried his best to edge himself so Ash could come first. Had anyone ever cared about letting Ash orgasm as well? His questions kept him at bay as Ash's moans grew louder and louder, making him fear Eiji or Shunichi would wake up any moment. It wasn't until Ash winced, a moan, higher-pitched than the other's, coming over his lips as he arched his back under Max, white streaks of hot fluit splashing onto his stomach. It was the same moment the other couldn't hold back anymore either, pulling out as he came, out of respect.   ''Hold me...'' Ash whispered, tired, breathing heavily, aching for more of those gentle gestures.   ~ ''Hold me!'' Shunichi called out all of a sudden, ripping Max out of his thoughts almost resulting in a crash.   ''There was a bee! For a second I thought it would sting me...'' the man apologized. Max's gaze only went into the back mirror, Ash's sharp eyes piercing him. He could easily read what they said:   ''One word, and you're dead.'' Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
