Diluc was very concerned.
His date - blind date, in fact - was very well-read and interesting to talk to. There were quite a few silent moments, considering they were both, well, rather inexpressive when it came to emotions, but that was fine. What was not fine, however, was the sheer amount of empty wine bottles on the table.
Alhaitham had been downing a drink every other minute and didn't seem anywhere close to stopping.
If he went by what he had picked out of their conversation so far, the other man had had a rather lengthy dispute with his roommate - and also current project partner - today, which apparently led to his current coping mechanism of drinking his troubles away.
According to Alhaitham, Kaveh was absolutely unreasonable and tended to make a fuss out of everything he said, making it impossible for the two to hold a rational debate on their research topic. Their project was of immediate importance to the development of the Akademiya, so there was no way for the silver-haired man to escape from or delegate his duties.
Which, again, had led to the rapid increase of empty wine bottles on the beautifully crafted wooden table between them.
Alhaitham had only explained the situation to him once and didn't let his circumstances ruin their conversation, their back and forth going smoothly and making for a rather comfortable atmosphere despite the other's obvious worries. Nonetheless, Diluc was concerned and would like to help his date take his mind off things, if only for the sake of ending the night without one of them collapsing from alcohol poisoning.
He slid his hand over the table to rest on top of Alhaitham's, the redhead's other hand reaching out to firmly grasp the wine bottle that was once again being lifted to the silver-haired man's mouth.
"Alhaitham," there was a nervous tickle in his chest at what he was about to suggest, but he pressed on. This was a date, anyways. It was within the common practices.
"Shall we do something else?" His red eyes searched Alhaitham's turquoise ones, an unspoken question lying in his gaze. Alhaitham stared right back, unflinchingly. His hand on the table turned around to hold Diluc's in a warm, steady grip.
"Alright."
🍂🍂🍂
Diluc shuddered when his back hit the wall. Insistent hands roamed the bare skin beneath his shirt while soft yet unrelenting lips meshed with his, their tongues intertwining in a hungry dance. The redhead's own hands gripped Alhaitham's broad back, fingers digging into his shoulder blades.
Diluc was entirely unused to this. The heavy breaths exchanged between them in-between kisses, the electricity sparking wherever the other man touched him, the inevitable heat pooling in his gut. It was uncharted territory. And yet...
Alhaitham raised one of his hands to Diluc's face, brushing his fingers along his cheek, gently pushing a wayward strand of hair behind his ear. Turquoise eyes met red ones, and Diluc forgot how to breathe.
The other man dove in again, giving him no time to remember. A strangled moan escaped his throat, causing his ears to flush from embarrassment. He could feel the silver-haired man smirk against his lips.
Another shiver ran through his spine when one of Alhaitham's hands moved to the back of his neck, gently grazing his fingers against the sensitive skin. Diluc melted into the touch.
His knees buckled slightly, unintentionally rubbing up right between the other man's legs. Alhaitham groaned into Diluc's mouth, his hips jerking forward. A searing heat ripped through the redhead's body and went straight to his gut at both the sound and at the outline of the obvious bulge that he could feel against his leg.
He lost his grip when Alhaitham returned the favor, grinding up his own leg against Diluc's clothed erection. His hands found purchase on the silver-haired man's sides. Alhaitham jolted.
Surprised, but overcome by an intense mix of curiosity and playfulness, Diluc let his hands stroke up and down the other man's waist and ribs, eliciting shudders that seemed to run through his whole body. Alhaitham's lips parted from his own as his head fell on Diluc's shoulder.
"Stop it..." he said, with a shudder in his low voice that made Diluc feel impossibly hotter. He couldn't think.
His hips jerked forward uncontrollably. He could feel the other man's hot breath on his neck before he bit down, leaving a trail of bruising kisses down to the hem of his shirt and then back up to his jaw. Diluc instinctively inclined his head to give him better access. His hands reached up and looped around Alhaitham's neck, finding purchase in his silver locks. Their moans were swallowed as their lips connected once more.
Diluc could feel the other man's hand sliding down his torso towards his lower body. Their lips parted, those turquoise eyes locking him with a smoldering gaze, silently asking for permission. Even though Diluc hadn't drunken any wine, his head felt fuzzy. Intoxicated. He lurched forward, pulling him closer by his silver hair, and bit down on his ear gently before sucking on it. Alhaitham flinched, but didn't pull away. Diluc could feel his hand fumbling to open his pants, before sliding beneath his underwear and grabbing his erection.
His knees buckled from the hot friction, a low moan leaving his lips. But he continued to hold on to Alhaitham, resuming his ministrations on his neck and collarbone, shoving the other man's shirt aside to leave a trail of hot kisses.
He could feel Alhaitham gathering the pre-cum from his tip to glide his hand up and down his length a bit more smoothly, making him shudder in pleasure. Fighting through the fog in his mind, he reached out towards his partner's bulge, palming it through the fabric of his pants. The groan Alhaitham let out was all the encouragement he needed.
He struggled to get the pants out of the way, finally freeing the silver-haired man's shaft from its confines. It was hot and heavy in his hand. He used his other hand to tug them even closer together, their lower bodies meeting in the middle. Alhaitham grabbed hold of both of their erections over Diluc's hand and set a dizzying pace, making him struggle to keep up with him.
He was so focused on his task and trying to breathe, the little moans falling from his own lips deafening to his ears, that he was taken by complete surprise when Alhaitham took ahold of his chin with his free hand and smashed their lips together in a bruising kiss.
It was all tongue and teeth, and it only amplified the heat in his groin. Tears gathered in his eyes as the pleasure kept building, bringing him closer and closer to his release. His hold on Alhaitham's dick tightened.
Alhaitham bit down on his lip, letting out a deep moan into his mouth, a noticeable shiver going through his whole body. And that was all it took.
Diluc felt a similar shiver go up his own spine, his hips stuttering into the other man's large hand as the pleasure reached it's peak and rolled over him in waves. He could vaguely feel the other man's erection pulsing in his hand as he also reached his climax.
Diluc's breath came out in hot puffs as he slowly came down from his high, their lips finally disconnecting. As Alhaitham's head slid down to rest on his shoulder, the redhead gently pushed his bangs aside to find the man fast asleep.
Diluc let out a sigh as he slid down the wall, carefully bringing Alhaitham down with him.
