****** means you have a talented tongue ******
by cosmogyral
Summary
     For the prompt: i'd like either john/karkat or rose/kanaya, where the
     troll language is very different from english, and karkat/kanaya
     keeps lapsing into their native language during cute or ~*intimate*~
     moments.
"I don't think I have it yet," Rose says, spreading Kanaya's knees a little
further apart. The girl's head jerks forward involuntarily, then rolls back as
Rose leans in, close to the curves of the unfamiliar biology, close enough that
she's warm when she says, "Rubaa."
Kanaya gasps and laughs. "Your accent is atrocious."
"I know," Rose says. It's the alveolar approximant, English's weak little
imitation of the sound. She tries a tap just for the pleasure of it, ro ro ro,
aspirates, rho.
"It is a trill," Kanaya says. "rʊɓɑ."
"Rrubaa," Rose says. Her tongue slides up Kanaya's flap, searching for that
mysterious spot that makes the other girl buck, and Kanaya keens, and Rose
wishes she had perfect pitch so she could catalogue that, too.
Her tongue flickers. Kanaya inhales: an ingressive, assent, and Rose pulls back
a little to look at her and Kanaya ingresses her yes again so hard that Rose is
afraid she'll strain something. She turns her attention back downwards. Maybe
with two fingers-- She crooks.
Kanaya's babbling now, a series of words she can't understand at all, though
she catches cases, her own name transformed: /rrɒs'/, /rrɒs'atʃʼ/, and she
rocks forward on Kanaya's long, long string of vowels. The next time she does
this they're alchemizing her a vibrator. She's wet now, just from listening,
the more so when Kanaya leans forward and in English almost bent out of all
recognition says, "Please, don't stop."
When Kanaya comes, Rose is so aroused she almost thinks she can come just from
watching her, but instead she slips her hand back down. Kanaya's half-lidded
eyes open again to watch her. Blurrily, she says, "Khos'atch'. Tell me what it
means."
Trust Kanaya to play bilingual rhyme games as an incentive. Trust Rose, she
must admit, for it to work. "'atch'," Rose says, "you said that before, it's an
inflection-- affection--"
"Properly, it is pity that one does not wish to stop feeling. And khos'a,"
Kanaya says. "It is related to one of yesterday's words."
"Khaas'e," Rose says. She bites her lip, manages, "blood."
"This is the general. Fluid."
Kanaya may be talking like she's drunk, but she is a transcendent green now,
and Rose can take a hint. She laughs, and when she says, "Who taught you such
shocking vocabulary?" it's only half a joke.
"Careful," Kanaya says, perfectly calm. "At this rate your khos'atch will stain
the sheets."
"Motherfucker," Rose breathes, and comes.
===============================================================================
"So, she's teaching you linguistics, huh?" Dave says, sliding her notes back
across the table. "The tip of the tongue trips to the motherfucking teeth these
days? Getting pretty hot and heavy, Lalonde. You'd better be careful or she'll
show you an ankle."
She straightens a page, smiling down at a diacritic. "You know," she says,
"John is practically bilingual."
"Oh, god," Dave mutters. "This is going on the list of shit I did not want to
think about. This is the list of shit parts a through on beyond zebra,
inclusive."
"You should study," Rose says. "You might find it instructive."
