Disconnected

[Author's Note: Sooo here is my first story to be posted on AFF. XD Good stuff. I just felt like writing a sex scene between Thane and Grimm, two original characters, so I came up with this. I hope you like it, thanks for reading, and I'd really appreciate any reviews! Constructive critism is welcome as well. ]


Thane let his eyes droop closed. They were feeling too heavy to keep open. The droning of his teacher didn't help, either. Calculus could never hold his attention for very long on a good day.
He hadn't slept much in the past couple of weeks, and Thane wasn't sure why. Usually he had no problems sleeping like a rock through the night. Lately, though, it was like he could never get his mind to settle down.

Sleeping felt so good... His head dropped forward on his shoulders until he felt it hit the desk. For a minute, it was like he didn't know where he was, but finally he was relaxed enough to sleep.
Suddenly, the bell rang. Thane jerked his head off his desk in response to the blaring noise, and looked around in dazed confusion. He recieved a few strange looks from his classmates as they filed out of the room. Still not completely awake, but definitely not resting either, Thane gathered up his books and walked out.

The cold winter air hit him like a slap in the face as he left school. Thane stuffed his hands in the pockets of his jacket and hunched his shoulders against the chill. He hated winter. He hated being cold.
It was funny that he could fall asleep sitting upright in a classroom, but not in his bed. Funny, but not helpful. As Thane walked to the parking lot, he tried to remember the last time he had a good night's sleep. He had reached his car by the time it came to him. Thane shook his head and smirked to himself. The last time he could remember really conking out and sleeping through the night was the last time he had sex with Grimm. He unlocked his car and sat down. "Fuck," Thane said outloud to himself.

Things had been different since he lost his virginity to Grimm about a month ago. It wasn't a huge, relationship-breaking change, but Thane's feelings about Grimm were slightly different now. He turned his car on and started the heater. If he was going to sit here and muse, he should at least be warm.
Thane would never say it aloud, but he felt a connection to Grimm that had started to grow from the first time they had sex. A month ago he thought that kind of thing only happened to women. It kind of worried him. Thane knew himself well enough to know that he wouldn't do it with just anybody. And the fact that Grimm was a guy on top of it made things even more significant. A year ago Thane would have never pictured himself having gay sex. Maybe he didn't know himself as well as he thought. Or at least, maybe he didn't know the person he was turning into.

The fact that he was starting to change worried him. It could be part of what kept him up at night. He was also nervous about the way he and Grimm's relationship had stepped up. His feelings were getting stronger, but who knew what Grimm was feeling. He could drop him tomorrow. Thane knew now that there was no going back- if Grimm decided to leave him, he couldn't just put it behind him. He would be messed up over it. It scared him to have someone who had that control over his heart.


He drove home, and tried to drown out his thoughts with music. Maybe being a bottom was turning him girly. Thane sincerely hoped that wasn't the case. He felt a little guilty, since it had actually been a while since he'd even seen Grimm. Once he started feeling out of it he stopped going over to his house. Getting drunk might help him now, though. It would be best if he stopped thinking so much.

The drive home didn't take long, but Thane sat in his driveway and smoked a cigarette before going inside. He tried to decide on what he wanted tonight. He could try and get more sleep, but it would probably result in just more tossing and turning. Getting drunk with Grimm sounded like a much better idea.
Thane's parents were home; he could tell because their cars were in the garage. With a resigned sigh he got out of the car, stubbing out his cigarette with the toe of his shoe. He'd go see Grimm tonight, he decided. Whether or not he even told him about all this stuff was a totally different matter.
It was like his parents had been storing up all their anger from that week and waited to unleash it on Thane when his report card came out. When his grades started slipping, he planned on swiping the card before his parents could see it. They wouldn't even know that grades had come out unless it showed up amongst their mail. But with his loss of sleep and being caught up in his thoughts, Thane hadn't even remembered. Walking in the door, he was greeted by his crappy report card being shoved in his face. Then all he heard was yelling, insults and threats. His ears were ringing by the time they were done. He was sent to his room, of course. Thane was really just happy for it to stop. His parents left him alone until he was in trouble. When they got involved, Thane got punished.

He flopped back onto his bed with relief. Any longer down there, and he might have started swinging. That would not have ended well. Losing sleep made him cranky though, just like getting yelled at. After a minute he couldn't even lay back on his bed anymore. He was too restless, so he had to get up and pace. His body was tired, but his mind was racing. He'd never be able to sleep like this.

Thane stood absolutely still by the door to his room, listening hard. He could hear the distant clinking of glasses from downstairs and the murmur of voices. Next Thane locked his door, put on his radio like he always did when he was sleeping, and opened his window. He scowled at the burst of cold air that swept into his room. Feeling more and more like a girl sneaking off to see her boyfriend, he wriggled through his window and jumped to the tree conviently located next to his roof. Unfortunately, he wasn't as coordinated as he thought he was. His foot slipped on a branch and he ended up sliding down for a few heart-stopping seconds. Thane grabbed for a strong enough branch to hold him. The first one he tried snapped, and he fell down even farther, scraping his knee along the tree trunk. The next handlehold he grabbed held, and he managed to stop his fall. He stayed still for a minute, pressed against the tree, and thought about how stupid he must look. But he was already more than halfway down. He carefully lowered himself down a few more feet, then dropped down onto the ground. Once there he noticed that he had ripped his pants when they scraped against the tree. Thane scowled at the bloody hole and hoped that Grimm had some good booze.

The driveway with his car was on the opposite side of his house from the living room, so he didn't have to worry about his parents hearing him drive away. In a matter of moments he was on the road to freedom. He even flipped the bird over his shoulder for good measure. So what if he didn't have perfect grades? That wasn't a good enough reason for them to scream at him like that. One D in a high school class wasn't going to screw up his whole future.

Thane didn't want to think about grades now. The ride to Grimm's house didn't take long, but once he got there he felt almost too nervous to get out of his car. The feeling confused him. He had never felt nervous around Grimm before. After a moment he berated himself for acting like such a girl, and got out of the car and went to the door. He could have sworn Grimm looked a little surprised to see him. But soon any traces of surprise were replaced by his usual cocksure grin.

"Cool, you're here. I was about to go crazy with boredom," he said while he let Thane in. Thane was glad to be out of the cold. "Sorry man, I didn't bring anything this time," Thane told Grimm when he looked at him expectantly. "I think it's your turn to get me drunk."
For a minute, Grimm looked dissapointed, but then he looked closely at Thane. "I guess I could spare some of my stash. You look like you need it." Thane's eyebrows rose. "You don't know the half of it."
Grimm could sense something was wrong with Thane. As soon as he knew it, he carefully backed off. The last time the two of them had talked about 'feelings' it ended up with Grimm admitting way more than he cared to. Instead, he turned and led Thane up to his room, and pressed a warm bottle into his hand.


Thane was glad he decided to come over to Grimm's tonight. After a few drinks, he couldn't remember why he had been avoiding him so much. It was obvious he needed this- he felt more relaxed than he had in weeks. For a while the two sat in silence, but soon Grimm started fidgeting.
"C'mon man, I thought my boredom would be over when you came here. What should we do?"
Thane stared blankly ahead and shrugged one shoulder. "I dunno. I'm up for anything."
That earned an impatient sigh from Grimm. "Fucking come up with something! I gave you alcohol." Thane smiled to himself and leaned back to take another drink. "I just came over here because I couldn't stand being around my parents anymore. They totally ripped me a new one when I came home today. I figured it'd be better to stop avoiding you and come over here." He stopped talking and there was an unusual silence from Grimm. Thane looked over to see a sour look on his face.

"You were avoiding me? What the fuck, man. If it's another one of those things where I'm not paying enough attention to you... forget about it. I'm not saying that gay shit again. That had better-"
"No, it's not that," Thane interrupted. Why had he even admitted to avoiding Grimm in the first place? He looked accusingly at the bottle in his hand. With a sigh, he stood and then promptly flopped over onto Grimm's bed. "I don't know what it is..." he said thoughtfully to the ceiling.

After a minute, he heard footsteps and Grimm's head appeared in his line of sight.
"Well... You're here now, right?"
"Right," Thane agreed, reaching out to grab Grimm's hand. Grimm smacked it away and climbed onto the bed to straddle Thane's hips instead. His rejected hand went to rest on Grimm's thigh.
"I know of something we could do," Grimm said with a dark grin. He leaned down and Thane lifted up, and their lips met in a rushed kiss. Once Thane started touching Grimm he realized how much he had missed him. He grabbed at his shoulders when Grimm brought his lips to his neck. It didn't take long for Thane to start pulling Grimm's shirt over his head. Grimm let Thane partially undress him, but when his hands started roving too much he leaned down to kiss him again. His body effectively pinned Thane's hands.

When the kissing started to get more heated, Grimm leaned back again. Thane took the opportunity to pull off his own shirt and unbuckle his belt. He was done in time to reach up and pull Grimm's pants down around his thighs.

"I can't believe I want to do it again," Thane said, thinking outloud. Grimm chuckled and rubbed his hands over his chest. "But it's been a while."
He moaned softly at the feeling and had to silently agree. Already he felt almost as relaxed as he did at school earlier, when he was almost falling asleep. After a moment Thane grabbed Grimm's hips. His thumbs stroked the protruding bones and he thought about how thin Grimm was. "Did you even eat today? You're a stick," Thane said, but before Grimm had the chance to answer he leaned up and started kissing him again. While their tongues pressed together Thane let his hands slide into Grimm's underwear. It disturbed him how natural it now felt for him to stroke another man.

He pulled back from the kiss just enough so he could talk. "After we're done here I'm gonna feed you a chocolate cake. And I'll make sure you eat all of it." Thane gave Grimm a squeeze to enunciate his point. That earned him a moan, but Grimm also looked annoyed. "Stop talking about food...fuck." He was finding it hard to talk. Thane smirked and kissed his neck a few times. "Fuck what? I'll fuck you, it's my turn." He bit down on Grimm's neck.

"No way. And you better not be giving me a damn hickey," Grimm said. With a willpower Thane didn't expect he pulled the hands out of his pants, and pushed Thane back against the bed. "I'm fucking you tonight," Grimm said, before stroking breifly across Thane's stomach and unzipping his fly to pull his pants down. He straightened up and saw Thane looking expectantly up at him. With all the grace of a drunk man he leaned over the side of the bed to pick up his discarded bottle. "I'm gonna suck your cock. But I need this first," he said. Then he tipped his head back and downed the remainder of the alcohol. Thane watched him with a loose smile. "Thanks for the warning."

Grimm dropped the empty bottle off the bed and forgot about it again. He leaned back down and caught Thane's lip ring between his teeth, giving it a gentle tug before his mouth traveled south. Thane gasped as he felt teeth on his skin and grabbed at Grimm's shoulders. When he felt Grimm's mouth close over him he closed his eyes. This was still a little strange to him, but he was learning to like it. At first he moved his hands to Grimm's hair, but the sudden stillness of the other boy made him remember to not mess up his moehawk. He opened his eyes and looked down at the bright green head bobbing slowly in his lap. Behind it, he could see clearly the ridges of Grimm's spine rising out of his curved back. Thane traced the ones he could reach, until the tight heat and moist sucking became too much for him. His head thumped against the bed and his hips rose and fell. Grimm backed off just in time for Thane to orgasm with a groan. He felt completely boneless for a moment, and Grimm pulling his pants the rest of the way off didn't even bother him. When he was able to move again, he reached down and pulled Grimm up against him. Thane kissed the corner of his mouth and then along his jaw. Then he pulled back, spat in his hand, and reached down to curl his hand around Grimm's erection. "You owe me," Thane said while he spread his legs.

He grabbed tightly onto Grimm's arms while he pushed into him, and felt again the sense of becoming a girl. It wasn't pleasant. For a second he came close to shoving Grimm off of him. But he heard Grimm exhale a shuddering breath next to his ear, and he didn't mind so much. Thane wrapped his arms around Grimm's thin chest and pulled him into another kiss. They started to move, and Thane let his hands drift over Grimm's skin. It wasn't bad, to be here and doing this with him. Thane liked to hear the little noises Grimm made, and it wasn't like he was heavy or anything. It was a little overwhelming to be this close to somebody. But it took Thane's mind off of all the little annoyances that were so prevalent in the rest of his life. This was a release for him, in more ways than one. He felt Grimm starting to speed up and heard his breathing become erratic. Thane held on to him and pressed his lips against Grimm's. They moaned into each other's mouths and finished together.

The next morning Grimm would probably tease Thane for coming twice and being the bottom. But that night he slept like a baby, even with Grimm's weight on top of him.
