D'arvn

"Hello," D'arvn smiled when he sat down at the table. His food tray
had a few items on it but nothing that would prevent him from chatting
with the kid across from him. "I'm D'arvn."

"H--Hello." A'dryn had glimpsed the handsome rider before but they
hadn't talked. He scolded himself for thinking of D'arvn as handsome.
Then he remembered his manners. "My name is A'dryn, weyrling to green
Nalarith."

"Very nice to meet you A'dryn," D'arvn smiled. Had he ever been that
young? He couldn't honestly remember. "Falzeth tells me Nalarith is
quite lovely."

A'dryn wasn't sure why a compliment to his _dragon_ made him blush,
but it did. "Thank you."

"Sure," D'arvn continued to smile. "How long to graduation for your
class?" It wasn't like he didn't know. He was just trying to make a
bit of conversation since the kid seemed so nervous.

"A few months." A'dryn's heart beat faster. Nalarith could rise before
that, which meant he needed to...

And there was the panic again. The weyrling master had been right
about this one. "So tell me about yourself A'dryn," he smiled. "Do
you have a craft?"

**He's just trying to be friendly.** "No. I'm holdbred. I was an understeward."

"Ah," he said. "That is a good career path in the Hold. I've always
lived in the Weyr and intended to be a dragonrider as long as I can
remember."

"So you didn't craft?" A'dryn took a small bite even though his
stomach was still jittery.

"Well I wouldn't say that," he grinned. "My da made sure I crafted so
I became a weaver. I found I love working with fabrics. Though I
Impressed on my thirteenth birthday so I wasn't fully crafting for
long."

"Did you Impress before Thread returned, then? What was that like?"
With Thread falling, dragonriding was once again a duty to Pern and
the reason A'dryn had been able to accept Search.

"Yes," he smiled. But then his smile faded a little. "Though I had to
wait to enter the wings. I was too young at first. How are you
enjoying your training?"

"It's quite a lot of work. Very demanding." A faint smile curved his
lips. "But we're doing well. I've even been a group leader."

"That's great," D'arvn said with real enthusiasm. He wasn't bad
looking when he smiled and he seemed to be just a tiny bit more at
ease. "Nalarith is as talented as she is beautiful."

"Thank you." A'dryn's heart sped again. Shards it was so warm in here
and D'arvn... he really was quite handsome.

D'arvin's pale blue eyes smiled and he reached for A'dryn's hand. "We
can take this as slow as you like," he said softly. "There's no rush."
he looked around before he spoke again. "It might be easier if we
talked in a private place don't you think?"

A'dryn's panic rose but he forced himself to stay still. "Did the
Weyrlingmasters send you?" That would explain why the bluerider had a
sudden interest in him. D'lorn and A'kades had been looking for
someone to "help" A'dryn get the experience he needed.

"Yes, but only if you like me. It's your choice you know." D'arvn
smiled gently. He remembered his own first time and how his heart had
felt like it was going to pound a hole in his chest. But X'tel had
been nice and gentle and made it a great experience. "I think everyone
wants to help." His voice lowered and he leaned closer. "It should be
wonderful like mine was."

Fear and... a kind of liquid heat filled A'dryn. Lust. It was lust.
Some part of him wanted this handsome rider. On the heels of that
followed shame. A'dryn closed his eyes and swallowed.

}:Why are you afraid?:{ Nalarith said. }:Oh, you want to mate. You
should. The older dragons say it feels very good.:{

The greenrider looked at D'arvn. "I need to. For Nalarith. And it has
to be someone and you... you seem very nice."

"You need to for _you_ too A'dryn," he said gently. "But we don't have
to rush into anything." Helping a young rider gain a little experience
wasn't something he normally volunteered for. "Just a little friendly
exploration when you're ready. How does that sound?"

"Please, I... want to get this over with. I'm tired of being afraid."
The weight of it squeezed his chest. If A'dryn did it now he would
never have to worry about it again.

That wasn't really what he liked to hear but D'arvn smiled
reassuringly anyway. "Alright," he nodded. "Shall I come to your weyr
or would you like to visit the cots?"

A'dryn bit his lip. The cots would be impersonal and would make sure
his personal space wasn't tainted with bad memories. But it meant
slinking back to his weyr later and if things were unpleasant he might
want to be somewhere familiar.

}:You should go to our weyr. You will feel better there. And you will
want to sleep after. The older dragons say we sleep after mating.:{

Nalarith didn't quite understand that things were different for
humans, but this was for her sake so he decided to take her advice.
"My weyr."

"Lead the way," D'arvin said with a nod and a hand motion. He knew the
younger man was nervous how could he not be but D'arvn wasn't
flamboyant in his preference for male company. "Do you have any wine,"
he asked as he followed.

"A little." He had some left over from the skin Lanniya had brought.
There was enough for maybe a glass each. A'dryn wished he had more. As
soon as they got to his weyr he went for the wine. **Breathe.
Breathe.** He had a man in his weyr, a man he intended to have sex
with.

"Here." His hand shook a little as he held out a glass for D'arvn.

D'arvn reached out to steady both the hand and the drink as he took
it. "Hey," he said softly and took a step closer. "It's going to be
alright. Why don't we sit," he said and turned toward the sofa.

A'dryn sat and took a long drink of wine, his stomach quivering. "I'm
sorry. I'm sure this isn't very pleasant for you."

"I want it to be," he said taking a sip from his glass and resting his
hand on A'dryn's thigh. "I want it to be very pleasant for you too."

The touch sent his heart racing even faster, and it wasn't all from
fear. A'dryn had wanted a man to touch him like this for turns. Shame
and desire were tangled up so tight they were almost the same thing.
"Would it be... better for my dragon if I tried to enjoy this?" Even
if it was perverse, he would do anything for Nalarith and that would
make it okay.

}:You should enjoy it because mating is a good thing.:{ Nalarith had
moved to her couch and watched them, eyes whirling with a tinge of
concern.

"Absolutely," D'arvin smiled. "Falzeth enjoys my times thought not as
much as I enjoy his." He moved his hand slightly but down rather than
up. Then he leaned forward and paused just short of A'dryn's lips to
allow him to come the final step and initiate the kiss of his own
will.

A'dryn tingled with awareness. "I've never done... anything," he
confessed. And he suddenly wondered if he should have at least kissed
B'jon. "There's someone I -- I like." Admitting that to a
near-stranger was frightening, but if A'dryn was going to have sex
with D'arvn, did it make sense to be nervous about something like
that? "I might want to kiss him but I don't know how."

"Well then kiss me and I'll teach you." D'arvn coaxed. "Then if you
want you can go find him, I don't mind... too much." He had already
had the beginnings of a flush with the wine and the nearness. There
was no denying the fact that A'dryn was attractive.

For a moment A'dryn could only stare, holding his breath. Could he
really do this? Kiss a man? D'arvn really was very handsome and seemed
to like him for some strange reason. A'dryn gathered what little
courage he had and pressed a clumsy kiss to D'arvn's lips.

One arm went around A'dryn's shoulders and D'arvn smoothed out the
kiss by tilting his head and pulling him a little closer. His body
tightened and his lips communicated need and desire. He sighed and
smiled when he pulled slightly away. A hand rose to cup the side of
the greenrider's face. "There," he said softly. "Not so bad at all,"
he went in for another soft and tender kiss.

A'dryn made a soft sound, confused and needy. It felt strange and
good, right and wrong. The kiss lit him up inside and he leaned toward
D'arvn, seeking more. The greenrider's thoughts spun. **What do I do
with my lips? Am I doing this right? Oh Faranth, I'm actually kissing
a _man_.**

D'arvn molded his lips to A'dryn's and then he opened them and his
tongue and teeth began an assault tickling the corners of his mouth
and nibbling at his lips.

A'dryn pulled away, though one hand stayed fisted in the bluerider's
tunic. Two sides battled within him. One was his body, hot and eager,
the other was a voice that insisted he was unnatural and disgusting.
The weyrling pushed them both aside because neither of them mattered.
This was just another part of his training, something he needed to do
for his dragon's sake. "The bed," A'dryn managed to choke out the
words.

"Yes," D'arvn agreed his eyes sparkling with the beginnings of
passion. As he walked toward the sleeping alcove he pulled his tunic
over his head and draped it on a chair then he quickly sat and pulled
off his boots before looking at A'dryn. "Come here," he reached out
his hand.

}:He will not hurt you.:{ Nalarith gave her rider a mental nudge.

A'dryn joined D'arvn on the bed.

"Lets get this off you," D'arvn reached for A'dryn's shirt and then
bent to kiss one shoulder once the skin was bared to him.

A'dryn shivered at the touch of his lips. His body seemed to be
alight, humming with an energy he'd never felt before. Everything he'd
imagined in his most secret fantasies was about to happen, was
happening right now. **And it's okay because I need to get ready for
Nalarith's flight.**

He laid the younger rider down on the pillows and hovered over him for
a moment looking into the deep dark depths of his brown eyes. "You
have beautiful eyes," he said softly and kissed him again as he
lowered his weight onto him.

That sent a flutter of fear through the greenrider. }:This is a good
thing,:{ Nalarith sent soothing feelings to her rider. }:Let it feel
good.:{

A'dryn slid a shy hand along D'arvn's shoulder. The bluerider was all
smooth skin and hard muscle and A'dryn's lust began to take over.

~*~

For a moment A'dryn laid there, floating. As his head cleared, full
realization hit him. He'd just had sex with a man, and he'd liked it.
His next breath ended on a sob and he started to cry.

D'arvn gathered him into his arms. "Hey," he soothed, "It's alright,"
and wordlessly rocked and murmured. He didn't quite know why after
such a wonderful time he'd cry but he also understood this was a first
time and first times were always intense.

}:You felt very nice. Why do you feel bad now?:{ Nalarith crooned,
eyes whirling with distress.

Part of A'dryn wanted to push D'arvn away but he didn't have the
energy. "I'm so ashamed. I feel so dirty." All the things people said
about men like him echoed in his head. That he was deviant, unnatural,
not a real man.

"Aww," he said. "Don't feel that way. That's the holder in you
talking. No one here will ever think of you that way A'dryn." D'arvn
had seen his share of hold born try and adjust to the Weyr and this
was no different. "What we just did is right for who we are. Others
prefer the opposite sex and that is right for them." He shrugged. He
didn't want to confuse the kid with the fact that he liked both.
"Anything you do for Nalarith is good and beautiful."

A'dryn pushed away, wrapping his arms around himself. Between hitching
breaths he said, "I would do anything for her."

**I'm sorry. I don't want to upset you,** he told Nalarith.

}:Do not feel bad. Listen to Falzeth's rider.:{

"That's a good thing A'dryn," D'arvn said. "She wants you to be happy.
Can you do that?"

"I'm trying." A'dryn wiped at his eyes. "But I feel so awful and now I
feel guilty for making her feel bad. I'm terrible."

}:You are wonderful, not terrible. I love you.:{ Even if she found her
rider very confusing sometimes.

"Oh no, A'dryn." D'arvn smiled. "I know she thinks you're wonderful and
so do I." He swung his legs over the side of the bed. "What do you say
we go get a bath."

It was so casual, as if they hadn't... "I'd like to be alone." A'dryn
wondered if he was being rude. "You were very kind to me... I... um,
thank you."

D'arvn pressed his lips together and he nodded. Sometimes there wasn't
a way to ease into weyrlife and A'dryn would have to find his way
through it. "No," he said and began to dress. "Thank you." In moments
he had on enough clothing to make it to the baths. "But if you change
your mind. You know where to find me."
