Happy Exhaustion

“Well, I am glad that I finally got to use those…” Teekay muttered as he tried to catch his breath. “Even if it wasn’t me using them…”

“I am glad you came prepared too…” Elkay’s mood was hard to judge from where Teekay was. He’d always thought that Elkay was a very fit and healthy Rethan, but he was panting and gasping for air far more than Teekay was. Then again, Elkay had done more work than he had and was now resting his head on Teekay’s chest, looking away from him.

The experience had been an odd one though. A pleasant, thoroughly enjoyable one, but an odd one nonetheless. They had both clearly had fun, but now that the fun was over, Teekay was wondering whether he had done the right thing. He felt like he had maybe pushed a little too hard. Then again, Elkay was an adult who had willingly consented to the act, so maybe it was just Teekay being tired and confused. He could still feel a light buzz in both his head and below his stomach.

Elkay’s breathing though reassured that Teekay was fine. He may have been panting but it was a happy pant. Really, neither him nor Teekay had expected the experience to be so… exhausting. But Teekay also didn’t expect any of it to be so… vigorous. He didn’t expect Elkay to be so vigorous.

In fact, Elkay had been exceptionally good. To the point that Teekay was no longer sure whether he had really just lost his virginity or not. Teekay had been a virgin up until about half an hour ago but he’d properly educated himself on everything but for some reason he had assumed that Elkay was going into this completely… blind. He had been completely wrong about that. Elkay seemed to know more about what Teekay enjoyed than Teekay did.

Or maybe it was because Elkay was a Rethan. Maybe there was just something about being a Rethan that meant that Elkay simply knew better.

There was certainly one upside to Elkay’s species though. Teekay had completely underestimated just how… large Elkay was. Elkay may have been a small Rethan, the same way Teekay was large for a Skyan, but he clearly didn’t expect Elkay to be as large downstairs as a normal Rethan. At first it had made Teekay uneasy. As they’d continued on though, he really, really enjoyed it. Until it was Teekay’s turn to return the favour. He wondered if he’d disappointed Elkay at all, but Elkay had enjoyed it, right?

Right?

Teekay wasn’t sure. He nudged Elkay, whose panting had slowly turned into normal breathing.

“Hey.”

“Hey…” Elkay turned his head, looking up at Teekay.

“Did you… enjoy that?” Teekay asked hesitantly.

A smile flickered across Elkay’s face, but his eyes screamed exhaustion. “I did.”

“Really?”

“Why would I lie?” Elkay rolled to one side, pulling Teekay closer to him. “In fact, I am internally kicking myself for waiting so damn long. I could have been enjoying myself decades ago.”

Teekay smiled back, nuzzling into Elkay’s arms. “I’m glad.”

“Did you enjoy it?” Elkay asked.

Teekay nodded. “Yeah. Definitely. I kinda wish I’d not waited so long as well..”

Elkay smiled some more, then closed his eyes. “Are you as tired as I am?”

“Well, we are both slightly tipsy.”

“Yes.”

The two beings fell silent. Elkay stared blankly at the ceiling, while Teekay drifted back into his thoughts. Suddenly, Teekay felt a nudge.

“You alright?”

Elkay tilted his head to one side. “I am. But I have a… question.”

“What is it?”

“I am genuinely exhausted right now. But when I am less tired… would you like to do that again?”

Teekay couldn’t help but grin. “I would…”
