****** Save me from the storm ******
by WilliamWiggleSpeare
Summary
     The day of John Egberts 18th birthday is also the day Dave Strider
     catches himself a man.
     The title will make sense once you start reading it, I promise but
     also apologize since it's a tad too cheesy but I had to.
Notes
     Ladies, gents, and gentlethems, welcome to my first ever Homestuck
     fanfiction that I've posted instead of scrapping. Now I know this is
     gonna get some kickback since Dave is 17 in this and what not, but
     it's consensual. Dave likes flirting with Mr. E since they're like,
     fwb until...not spoiling the fic!! This IS explicit NSFW, yes they
     fuck, yes it's protected, yes it's (probably) hot, yes there is
     aftercare. You don't like this ship? Please don't read this then and
     please please please pay attention to the tags. I recommend not
     reading this in public.
     --wigglespeare out!--
It was a Saturday, which in Dave’s opinion was a totally badass day for a
birthday, since almost always his were on days of the week.
John seemed to agree as well, what with the way he was practically bouncing off
the walls with excitement of his 18th birthday. He was in his day clothes
already at the ripe time of 9 in the morning. They had to get things started
early since John was meeting up with friends from another town later, for now
just a smallish party with cake (no matter how much John objected, his dad had
insisted).
After a couple rounds of purposely letting John win at good ole classic Mario
Kart, Dave migrated downstairs since Jade had Skype called John to wish him a
happy birthday, still sleepy since timezones were all sorts of screwy bullshit,
and now they were nerding over some new movie that was due to come out soon.
After giving a quick Hello to Jade, he exited and rolled his eyes at two them
who he could still hear as he walked down the stairs, before the smell of still
baking goods hit him like a train. Sweet sugary hell, Dave was sure he must’ve
tripped down the stairs and cracked his head open, resulting in him dying and
being sent to whatever Heaven was out there, which smelled suspiciously like
vanilla cake. Vanilla cake and good views of- oh.
He feels his face heat up and his heartbeat quicken when he sees John's dad- no
James, in front of the stove and keeping a keen eye on the baking confections.
Dave would've tried to sneak out of the threshold between kitchen and
livingroom and back up to John's room had it been any number of years earlier,
but ever since he and his older brother moved to this state, (Bro had gotten a
sick job opportunity, much better and more credible than his other job, you
know the one), and ever since John and Dave became town neighbors, he had been
subjected to the sweet and gentle entity that was James Egbert. He was
certainly an enigma for sure, yet at the same time he wasn't complicated at
all. He was caring and damn kind, the type of guy that would bring a stray
kitten in from the harsh rain to his apartment, even if the place didn't allow
animals. It wasn’t hard to see where John got his kind-hearted disposition.
James had been nothing but kind to him, even before they had formally met
person to person. Helping shape Dave through his later teen years after he
arrived in Washington, helping him realize important shit (like having weird
eyes wasn’t his fault and he shouldn’t apologize for it or being cool didn’t
mean he wasn’t allowed to show his emotions).
When James wasn't looking or when he was home in his room about to sleep, Dave
liked to think he was the kitten being saved from the storm.
He shook his head gently, shooing away his internal monologue and turning even
pinker when realizing he was just standing in the entryway watching him like a
creep. He took a breath to reassure himself that James wouldn’t be mad if he
came in and kept him company, if only for a little while. He took a step into
the kitchen before yelping and swearing when his face came in contact with
plastic wrap, a birthday prank he had a niggling fucking suspicion was placed
just for him since he was taller than John. Nearly tripping and basically
stumbling into the kitchen after he was caught in the rat trap of a birthday
prank, (or was it a trap for prey? He would elaborate later), with a very
unhappy look towards James after he managed to tear the stuff off his face.
James had been watching him from the moment he yelped, a slightly concerned but
mostly sly and amused look on his face.
He was trying not to laugh at him, Dave could tell, as James helped him get the
remainder of the clingy plastic off of him, a big shit-eating smirk on his
face. Dave huffed and tried his best to stay mad at him, though it didn't work
for very long what with the way James was mother henning him now (or was it
father henning, in his case?).
“Are you alright, David? Didn’t knock your head against the doorframe too hard
now, did you? I can get you some ice if it’s needed.” James spoke with a
raising eyebrow, his voice smooth and silky, yet firm like always, always
holding Dave at attention. His work worn hands gently cupping Dave’s face in a
way that made his breath catch in his throat, out of fondness he repeatedly
told himself.
“Yeah I’m fine, just surprised is all. Thanks...f-for caring I mean.” He felt
himself heat up again out of embarrassment, sighing softly before he brought up
a hand of his own to cover James’, closing his eyes and letting himself relax
further in the comforting hold of his boyf- close adult friend with benefits.
Aw fuck who was he trying to fool, they weren’t exactly a secret anymore. Not
with the way John had walked in on them having a private moment together,
nothing too lewd but it was obvious what they were going to do had they not
been interrupted. John was naturally confused and flustered, Dave was surprised
though, when they all had to sit down and have a talk. Not nearly as awkward
and heartbreaking as he originally thought it would be. John was actually quite
accepting of the two’s relationship, making sleazy jokes targeted at his
father, much along the lines of “Well it's about time you got some, Dad. I was
worried you were never going to get another lay after that crazy office party
at work!”. Dave had given John a charlie horse for his trouble, though John
could tell Dave was overly relieved his best friend wasn’t mad at him for
getting down and dirty with his dad.
“Of course I care, I think it would be rather rude of me if I didn't.” James
murmured to him, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead that made Dave's heart do
a backflip in his chest. He thought it was safe to look up, thinking his kiss
shower was done but shit was he never more wrong. He must’ve looked up at the
wrong time since when he did, James’ lips connected with his. Though, James
didn't look surprised so maybe this was his mastermind plan all along. Dave
pouted for a second before he closed his eyes and gently kissed him back,
reaching his arms up and wrapping them around his neck. He felt larger arms
wrap around his waist and pull him closer, Dave was happiest when he was
kissing his older lover, (okay he refused to call him his boyfriend yet, since
neither of them had made an official attempt at dating the other), eagerly
sinking his hand into the nape of his hair. For a man of his age, James had
surprisingly thick hair, Dave was sure it would be a perfect mullet if it was
longer, though James had nearly burst out laughing when Dave had first told him
that. Dave had to pull away from the sweet steamy moment to catch his breath,
smiling softly at him.
“Keep kissin’ me like that and you’ll have a lot more to deal with than just a
burnt cake, handsome.” He stood on the tips of his toes, standing almost level
with James now, kissing the tip of his nose before slipping from the loose hold
around his waist to check on the oven, happily breathing in the sweet scent of
sugary goods emanating from the oven. He had always been a fan of baked goods,
rarely having them aside from his birthdays before he had moved up to the rainy
state. He heard James chuckle behind him before he felt him move beside him to
check on the cake, slipping an arm around Dave’s hips and pulling him against
his side before a smooch was placed on his cheek.
“Well I say, after all my hard work you seem to be finally turning into the
baker boy of my dreams, David. Truly all my late night planning and scheming
has paid off.” He chuckled, his tone that of a snarky teasing one, making Dave
snort and laugh against his shoulder before he took a moment to cuddle into his
side.
Sure, when he was a little kid and there was a lightning storm or he watched a
scary movie before bed, Bro had been there for him to cuddle into and hide and
be protected but James gave off the same vibe, it was probably just a parent
thing, Dave was sure, but he felt safe and protected always when he was with
him. It was nice and probably one of the reasons Dave loved being around him so
much. Also because James didn’t mind when he did it, also a reason he enjoyed
being with him. He went to open the oven door to get a better look at the cake
before a larger hand shot out and gently grabbed his wrist, making him look up
at James in confusion.
“What gives dude? I was gonna check up on the sugary brainchild of yours.” Dave
turned to face him, slipping his wrist out of his gentle grasp.
“You must be careful when dealing with the oven, the handle can get hot, hotter
than normal ovens, since it's old.” James explained, not scolding him just
informing him. Protecting him, Dave told himself when he felt the shame of
being scolded bubble up inside of him. He nodded a little and gave him a
squeeze of a hug as a thanks before leaving the baker to his job, slinking to
the fridge to get a Capri-sun and then move to the table, taking a seat so he
could watch him. Dave felt a giddy wave of delight when James took a seat
beside him, still close to the oven. Dave held back a laugh before leaning over
to James, setting his hand on his shoulder.
“Hey there handsome, come here often?” Dave murmured to him, a big grin on his
face. Not quite moving when James turned his head to look at him, a quirk of
the corner of his lips showing he was amused. “I would hope so, I live here, if
you’ve forgotten David.” James replied smoothly, even though it was obvious he
was 3 seconds away from having himself a chuckle.
“Yeah well, I just had to make sure. Need to know where my favorite man likes
to frequent so I can plan my schedule properly, or something like that.” Dave
chuckled, pressing a kiss under James’ ear, nuzzling into him happily.
"Oh is that so? Well we'll just have to coordinate out schedules properly won't
we." James smiled, wrapping an arm around Dave's waist, gently pulling him
against his side. Dave complied happily with his request and kissed James'
cheek again. Sitting together until the cake was done and Dave helped ice it,
which was hilarious since he's never tried it before. James had to help him a
lot.
--------
It was after the birthday party now, John was saying his goodbyes to his Dad
and Dave, squeezing Dave a little too tight before laughing at him.
"Remember Dave, always use protection!" John grinned widely before letting him
go, Dave's face a bright red from the meaning John was implying.
He wasn't able to get an arm punch in before John was off with his friends, the
tall one with a spider tattoo had an arm slinged around the one red colored
glasses and loud music coming from their earbuds. Dave thought that was kinda
weird to wear red sunglasses but to each their own he supposes. He rose his
eyebrow even higher when he saw the short one wearing grey grabbed John's hand,
lacing their fingers together.
"Well, I have the perfect idea for what we should do now, David." James put his
hands on his hips after locking the door and turning to face Dave, a smile on
his lips.
"Oh yeah? And what is that huh? Gonna put plastic wrap on every door and see
how many times it's gonna take for me to hunt you down?" Dave was just teasing
but that was something he would prefer not to do.
"What? No, I was suggesting we watch a movie together. If you prefer, you can
pick it out." James just chuckled before wrapping an arm around Dave's
shoulders and herding him over to the couch. Sitting down before leaning to
grab the stack of movies that was on the coffee table and smiling at Dave.
"Ehhh, I would rather you pick it out. Make it cheesy, hella cliche and
comedic." Dave grinned back, pulling his knees up onto the couch cushion with
him while he watched James pick a movie out.
"Romcom it is then, hope you haven't seen it yet because it's a good one.
Popcorn worthy, even." James rambled a bit before putting it in the DVD player,
getting up and making a bag of popcorn before returning and sitting next to
Dave again, placing the bag of popcorn inbetween them.
"Alright it's starting, prepare yourself David." He grinned at Dave, smooching
the side of his head before quieting down.
For the most part the movie was really good, until the already predicted sex
scene came up and Dave's ears started to burn, he couldn't help but steal a
glance up at James who was already looking down at him with a raised eyebrow
and a smirk.
"You alright? You look like you just woke up from a pleasant dream, David. Want
me to help you?" His eyes glanced down at the crotch of Dave's pants, which had
since grown tight. Dave just felt his whole face turn red, before nodding his
head then shaking it.
"Not here...maybe up in your room? Please?" He kissed the hand that came up to
cup his face, looking up at James.
"Of course, good suggestion. C'mon, let's go then." He took Dave's hand and led
him off the couch and up the stairs, up to James' bedroom.
It was pretty plain, like most parents rooms were in Dave's opinion. It was
nice though, pretty clean and organized. He was thrown out of his monologue by
James, who was kicking off his shoes before gently pushing Dave onto the bed,
caging him in with his arms and legs.
"Are you okay? With this I mean...I'm just making sure." James leant down when
Dave nodded and started kissing up his shoulder to his neck, gently nipping at
it when he felt Dave shiver under him.
His arms wrapped around James' back and neck, trying to hide his face in the
broad shoulder. It didn't really work since James pinned his hips against
Daves, making him moan under his breath at the friction it gave. James kept
doing this before Dave started squirming, pulling him back so he could kiss him
instead. James kissed back before sucking on Dave's lower lip, to which he
complied and opened his mouth for him, sucking on his tongue when James kissed
him again.
Everything was going great until the pressure became a bit much for him to
handle, pushing James up and off him, his eyes a bit watery before he tried and
failed to get his jeans off. He was near crying when James grabbed his hands,
pinning them above his head and leaning down to nuzzle at Dave's cheek.
"Shhh, it's alright. You're doing so good, David. Just keep it up." He
murmured, lacing Dave's fingers with his as he moved down, unbuttoning Dave's
pants and switftly pulling them off along with his boxers. Letting him spring
free from the tight grip of the fabric, although James wasn't much well off
either. Which is why he took his slacks off next, and of course his fedora
print briefs, then his tie but left his shirt on and unbuttoned. He took Dave's
shirt off next before pinning their hips back together.
It made them both moan, Dave hiding his face in the crook of James' neck as he
arched his back to try and get closer, wrapping a leg around his hips and
gritting his teeth when James rolled his hips, brushing their lengths together
and turning Dave into putty beneath him.
"C'mon, I know you can do better than that sweetheart, it's okay. We're alone."
He smiled softly at Dave, leaning up and sitting on his haunches, waiting for
Dave to catch his breath. It took Dave a couple of minutes before he was able
to sit up, grateful that James' room was so warm, before standing up and
getting some things from the nightstand. Coming back with a bottle of lube and
a condom. Dave tore the condom open with his teeth before he carefully slipped
it on James' cock, making the other moan and grip the sheets a little tighter.
Then Dave stared at the bottle of lube, conflicted.
"D-Do you want me to do this or...? Can you please do it this time?" Dave asked
softly, raising an eyebrow when James chuckled and nodded, pulling Dave over
and against his chest. Popping the lid to the tube open before pouring some in
his palm and over his fingers, he then closed it with one hand and tossed the
bottle somewhere into the dark room.
"You're doing so well, sweetheart. I'm so proud of you. You're learning so
quickly." James praised him as he slowly started fingering Dave, slicking him
up and stretching him out with the two fingers inside him. Soon scissoring him
with three fingers and then the full four. All the while Dave was clinging and
moaning, leaning his head onto James' shoulder and panting as he's readied for
what comes next. He whined softly when he felt the fingers leave him, but
gasped when he felt James replacing them with his cock, his nails digging into
the skin on James' back as he's sunk down onto the length.
"Are you okay? Don't worry, scratch my back all you want, it's yours." James
peppered Dave's shoulder and neck with kisses as he lays him down flat on the
bed, hooking the slender legs over his elbows as he lets Dave adjust to him,
which is always cute to watch since his face always scrunches up. When Dave
opens an eye and nods, James nods back, his hands laced with Dave's up above
his head as he slowly pulls out only to thrust back in again. James was by no
means kinky, but Dave has noticed that he's rough, just Dave's style since he
likes getting his ass pounded into oblivion.
Dave has to speed up his breathing double time, panting and gripping James'
shoulders like his life depended on it as he's bent over and fucked in half,
moaning James' name plenty of times and biting his lip hard when he starts
praising him again. Only because he knows Dave loves it too. Dave feels so
lucky to have such a great...boyfriend. Fuck it they might as well be dating.
Dave tries his best to give back and roll his hips up for him, but it's hard
(heh) when you're bent in half and getting the best dicking of your life.
Dave shouts when James hits that button inside of him, gripping his shoulders
even harder when he starts to only fuck him on that spot, making Dave whimper
and squirm before he's crying out James' name and coming onto his stomach and
chest, clenching around the other's length at the over-stimulation until James
leans over him and finishes as well.
They stay like that for a short while before Dave mentions something about it
being uncomfortable being bent in half, James pulling out slowly, making Dave
wince at the feeling, before taking off, tying up and tossing away the condom.
Shuffling into the bathroom connected to the bedroom before coming back with a
warm wet cloth, wiping Dave up and putting the cloth in the rooms laundry
basket before helping Dave under the covers. Dave happily cuddles up to him and
shifts when he has an arm wrapped around him.
They cuddle and talk about stuff while resting, Dave's head on James' chest and
tracing shapes on his skin before looking up at him.
"H-Hey James?" Dave speaks softly, wondering if the other is asleep.
"Yes?" His voice is gruff with tiredness, but he looks down at him and rubs
Dave's back.
"Will um...will you..yknow...bemyboyfriend? I-I know we haven't talked about
that yet but I just thought it would be nice since we've been doing this for a
longish while." He rambles, panicked before James sits up and cups his cheeks,
pressing their mouths together tightly before he pulls back and grins, only his
pearly whites really visible in the dark.
"I thought you would never ask, babe." He teases though Dave wraps his arms
around him and hugs him tightly, laying back down and cuddling into James' side
until they fall asleep.
