“Your breath stinks”
Jinx commented lightheartedly as she stuck out her tongue. Not that Ekko could really see it, it was 3 in the morning and completely dark while they laid curled up in bed. The comment was supposed to be funny, they had brushed their teeth together less than an hour ago. However, as she and Ekko laid chest to chest, Jinx’s chin sat on Ekko's sternum, right in front of his face--his breath hot on her face-- she realized it might not’ve been that funny. Ekko’s head snapped away from her, jaw shooting closed. Jinx was staying the night at Ekko's place, a refuge after another fight with Vi.
“aw, Ekko, its finee. I was just joking.” She laughed and reached up trying to turn his face back to her, to no avail. He just playfully shook his head, lips pressed tight together. Jinx pouted, and crawled up, if she couldn’t turn his head towards hers, she’d do the inverse. She started trying to get her face right in front of his, only for him to whip his head around in the opposite direction.
“Pleaseeee, look at me. I didnt mean it, I swear.”
“Why would you lie about that?” he asked accusingly.
Jinx’s pout only grew. “Booo. I promise, I was joking. Will you just look at me?”
“Mm, nah.” for a moment Jinx grew anxious, concerned that he was genuinely hurt, but as she pressed her cheek to his, attempting to snail closer to his face, he let out a very revealing chuckle. Jinx pressed further.
“Ekko, pleaaaaseee” she drew out the word, pleading almost pathetically.
“Fine.” he relented, turning straight to Jinx, their noses brushing. Jinx cupped both sides of his face, determined to keep it there. She was pleased, grinning and pressed a kiss to his lips until a few seconds later when he lurched his head to the side escaping Jinx’s firm grip, gasping and wheezing for air. Upon realizing that he’d been holding his breath the whole time, her pout resurfaced.
“Ekko!” she whined as he caught his breath.
“Jinx, I need to go brush my teeth now…” he attempted to pull away from her, moving to sit up. She tackled him back against the bed.
“Don’t, I didn't mean it, your breath is fine. I just said that because your breath was hot, not stinky.” She straddled his waist, arms wrapped around his neck, using her body weight as a tether to keep him from leaving the warm--at this point, increasingly hot and sweaty-- safety of their bed.
“I have toooo” he mocked her desperate tone, dragging out his syllables.
“But you don't"
“But I do.”
They went back and forth with the classic ‘yes’ ‘no’ argument as Jinx continued to try and wrestle his face right in hers, until Ekko seemed to pull his last straw and wrap his arms around her waist and flipped them over. Quickly Jinx wrapped her legs around his hips, refusing to risk being abandoned for a measly toothbrush, in order to achieve something as novel as minty fresh breath.
“I’m not letting you go.” she whispers, he heaved out a sigh in reply.
“Have it your way then.” He backed off the bed, Jinx’s weight still all on the bed as he found his balance on the floor before snaking his hands around her back once more and standing up. Jinx yelped and tightened her grip. Ekko's arms had moved to sit under her butt, holding her up despite the fact she was perfectly capable of doing so independently. They walked out of their room and shivered as a gust of cold A/C air hit them. The contrast made Jinx realize the sweat that had gathered on her back and across her lower body.
Ekko walked into the bathroom, setting his koala’d Jinx down on the counter. Reaching for his toothbrush and running it under the water, Jinx snaked her arm around the back of his head, covering his mouth with her hand. With one hand holding the toothbrush, and the other wrapped around her waist, he did what anyone would do and bit her hand, hard. Jinx gasped and relented, wiping her hand on the shoulder of his shirt.
“And you say I abuse you..” she clicked her tongue and shook her head sarcastically.
“Mm because you do.” Ekko said before beginning to brush his teeth. Jinx just sighed and tucked her head into the crook of his neck. After a moment of waiting, she grew restless, starting to pepper soft kisses up his neck, towards his jaw. He smelt warm, sweet; almost edible. Ekko paused, toothbrush in his mouth slurring his words, he swatted at her “schuu schuu”
Jinx found his hand as it hit against her, interlocking their hands, and preventing Ekko from trying to dissuade her. She continued lightly mouthing at his neck, and down his collarbone, using her teeth to pull his shirt collar down slightly. Ekkos breath grew labored, Jinx could feel his heart pounding in his chest. Time felt slow, everything was quiet apart from the city noise outside their window, the toothbrush on Ekko's teeth, and his quiet pant.
Jinx made her way back up to the base of his neck and Ekko almost involuntarily leaning away to give her better access.
She licked a stripe from the base of his neck to his ear. And he shivered, somewhat abruptly pushing away from Jinx, she gasped and pouted as cold air filled in his absence. Their gazes met, brown and blue both entranced with eachother and the way the light reflected against the other’s eyes. Jinx started to push herself off the counter to approach Ekko, but before she could he stepped up and placed his hand flat against her chest, stopping her.
“Just stay there a sec.” Jinx let out a quiet ‘hmph!’ but obliged.
Ekko dropped his hand moving it instead to the sink to spit and rinse his toothbrush. He wiped his mouth on the back of his hand, then his hands on the towel hung up beside the sink. He turned around seeing Jinx staring at the wall in front of her, absentmindedly swinging her feet back and fourth on the counter. Under the flickering bathroom light, her hair seemed to sparkle. Blue locks contained behind her head in a singular braid, a split from her usual two. She had washed and dried her hair on her own before Ekko got home, so by the time he did, she was restless sitting for so long and asked him to “just make it quick, please.” so he did, it was slightly messy, hair and some split ends flying out--though not many, he admired; Her hair was surprisingly healthy.
She was wearing PJ pants patterned with bleach dyed designs, skulls, ornate doodles, her regular chaotic style evident. And a tank top, one of its straps falling of her shoulder. She automatically reached up to fix it. The shirt was thin--it was one of her favorites so Ekko was familiar--and he could see her hardened nipples outlined in it. Her armed brushed against one and she shivered slightly but placed the strap where it should be. He shook himself out of his daze with a sigh. Jinx looked over at him just then, and tilted her head.
“Ready?”
he nodded and moved to pick her up as they had been walking into the bathroom. Jinx flicked the lights off behind them.
Jinx’s head was once again nuzzled in the crook of his neck, lips faintly touching his neck. He sat down on the bed, and shifted his legs over so she was sat in his lap on top of him. After he seemed to have settled down she began trailing kisses back up his neck, jaw, stopping just shy of his lips on the corner of his mouth. She waited there, centimeters rather than inches away. Ekko leaned up and into Jinx chasing her lips for a kiss, but Jinx leant back, letting her hands move to the back of his neck. Ekko was used to her games, entertained and usually willing to give in.
“So, Ekko, how’s your day going?”
“Pow, I told you about my day already.”
Instinctively she flinched away at the nickname. Images of the argument she’d had hours ago with her sister flashing in her mind.
“Jinx?” She shook her head, and blinked to see Ekko looking at her concern sewn in the furrow of his brow.
"You okay?" he asked.
She shrugged and hummed in thought. After a awkward moment of her trying to avoid Ekko's eyes she spoke up “Major, boner killer, eh?”
“What?”
“You know, the whole crazy boom! flashbacks, thing.”
“I don’t think you’re crazy” he said genuinely.
“Right…”
“I’m sorry”
“don’t do that you sap, it’s fine.” she said defensively. “anyway,” she continued, changing the subject, trying to lighten the mood again.
“You told me about yesterday, today's a new day.” her head bobbled back and forth animatedly as she spoke. She glanced to their nightstand, noting the time. “We’re actually three hours and thirty six minutes into our new day. Have you done much? Have breakfast?”
He let out a deep breath. He hated when she did this, tried to push off her own feelings and bottle it all up, but could feel himself throbbing in his boxers from the whole eve of her teasing. Even if nothing happened, he’d have to change at this point.
“Fuck you,” he whispered breathless.
Jinx traced shapes into his undercut, playing with the short hairs.
“We’ll get there don’t worry, baby.” she mimicked his volume, but as she rolled her hips against him they both let out soft moans at the contact. She leaned back in, but went right past his face. In his ear she goes:
“Just answer me first, Kay?”
He dropped his head on her shoulder, frustrated and wanting. “we’ll talk later.” Jinx encouraged his head back up by cupping his jaw. Ekko finally nodded. Jinxes thumb caressed against his cheekbone.
“I ate green eggs and ham for breakfast, and even brushed my teeth after. Happy?”
“Very!” she giggled and Ekko leaned in to kiss her.
Despite her earlier restraint she dove into the kiss leaning forwards, her tongue trying to persuade Ekko to open his mouth. He was pacing her now. They went back and fourth, Jinx bit his lower lip and he whined but kept up, Jinx was relentless, trying to gain leverage by the back of Ekko's neck and sitting up on her knees. Ekko slid his hands up her legs and waist one hand pausing there digging his nails in, while his other hand roams up her chest.
Jinx had slown down her barrage at Ekkos mouth, panting against his mouth while still messily trying to kiss. Ekkos hands continued to wander, fingertips tracing up and up, she closed her eyes and feather-light touch caused shivers to run down her spine. Jinx grasped onto his hair, balling her hand in his hair as he squeezed her breast, other hand following suit as she fully moaned, one hand in his hair the other balled in his shirt. She tilted her head back, and Ekko took the opportunity to start kissing down her neck, pausing occasionally to nibble little hickies into her neck--- right under her ear, down towards the base of her neck…
He kissed down slow to suck and kiss at her collar bone. Starting to roll her nipples between his finger tips, she whined dropping her head back and rocking her hips against Ekko causing him to moan into her neck. He pinched her nipples hard and her hips shuddered, she leaned into him, hanging her head forward onto his shoulder.
“Ekko..nghh, please--I cant”
She cried out and her voice cracked.
“Please what, Jinx? I can’t help unless you tell me”
She whined and it sounded like a sob, “you--just anything you”
Ekko let out a low moan, she sounded so worked up, so desperate; he gave into the pity. He let his hands lead him downward, tracing the elastic waistband of her trousers as she whined. He grabbed onto both her hips lifting and shifting her around on his lap, feeling for the right angle.
Jinx tugged Ekko’s shirt up, and he finished the job for her, stripping it off in one swift motion. Her hands explored his torso greedily.
Ekko's hand drifted down, thumb making soft circles through Jinx’s shorts. His fingers found there way to her center, her soaked through center.
pushing aside her shorts and underwear, Jinx gasped. He slid two fingers in, she tensed.
“relax baby, i got you.” low and soft he reassured her.
She relaxed, and he started slowly pumping his fingers in and out, thumb pressing into her clit. Jinx rithed, filled by ekko in every sense. she dropped her head on his shoulder, breathing in his scent.
“Princess, you're so pretty. ” Ekko whispered. She groaned, nodding and began grinding her hips again--feeling his fingers press right against her soft plushy walls, hard dick pressing against her ass as she grinds on him, he was everywhere she needed him to be. Ekko’s free hand digging into her thighs as she sped up and clawed at his sides. He lifted his hips, trying to follow her rhythm and chase some kind of relief from the building pressure.
Soon their disjointed moans became a chorus as their hips found the melody, speeding up and becoming louder. Ekko trailed his hands up and down her sides groping at her skin and breasts ungracefully. Her hips stuttered her whole weight pressed as hard against him as she could as she came, curling in wards her head falling against his. Ekko didn't last much longer with such a sight unraveling in front of him—because of him.
They stayed there for a moment, heads together, just panting pressed against each other. Jinx shifted, causing Ekko to twitch. To lay against each other chest to chest, only her thin t-shirt between them was home. They sighed together, content.
Jinx spoke up, her voice deeper than normal and raspy. “Patience is a virtue.”
Ekko shrugged under her, “So is dignity, not sure how important virtues are to us at this point.”
She chuckled.
“...so…Jinx, how’s your morning?”
She groaned and rolled off him and onto her back next to him.
“Fuck you”
“Eh, maybe next time.” he laughed as they both drifted, Ekko decided he’d let her rest for the night, let them talk about her and vi and…calling her pow in the morning.
He turned to his side, watching jinx’s chest rise and fall as she breathed. He reached out towards her face. but she caught his hand by the wrist, turning her head to make eye contact with him. He gave her a slight smile and her resistance holding his hand left; hand holding his wrist limply.
Ekko continued his motion, caressing the her cheek with the back of his hand gently. It was soft, and his touch was warm and caring, it was everything Jinx could’ve asked for.
It felt like love without needing to be.
