Smut in the second half of the chapter, warnings for watersports

******

Hongjoong claimed Seonghwa's bed as soon as the elf returned to the Crystal Sphere with Wooyoung. Though Seonghwa was hesitant to see the gryphon-born ripped away from him immediately after arrival, Wooyoung gave in easily this time. He tended to Mulberry and introduced him to Buddy, way too busy to mind the meddlesome sorcerer.

It almost seemed as if Hongjoong had less fun in their competition when Wooyoung didn't play along.

Entangled with the sorcerer, Seonghwa got some good sleep to catch up on the two nights spent in a hayloft and on the back of a gryphon, respectively. Hongjoong had infused him with his healing magic to relax the throbbing bones of his hip and shoulder, and Seonghwa slumbered deeply.

Only to be roused yet again by his husbands causing a ruckus in the early morning.

Seonghwa sat up with a groan upon the first indignant yell, not even trying to blend them out. He was the only one who could resolve their matters. Hopefully, it wasn't about Mulberry and the cave he got to himself.

While Hongjoong buried his face in the pillows, Seonghwa dragged himself from the sheets and adjusted his robe. Since the grumpy sorcerer had been with him all night, this couldn't be his doing.

Curious to see what it was this time, Seonghwa tied his hair back and left his room. As usual, their meeting place for unrest was in the foyer. Not as usual, it wasn't Wooyoung and Hongjoong who squabbled. Yeosang had crossed his arms before Yunho, and the human stood at the side of his dog, who avoided everyone's eyes.

"Good morning," Seonghwa greeted them when he appeared at the stairs. Wooyoung glanced his way, bright in his joy to see him but as involved with the fight as the rest. San leaned against a wall and overlooked the dispute without stepping in. He dodged Seonghwa's eyes.

Mingi peered from his door, hair ruffled from sleep and wild around his horns.

"Seonghwa," Yeosang greeted him, a hint of regret flashing across his indignant features. "Sorry for waking you."

"I am most used to it. What is the matter?" He glanced between Yunho and Yeosang. They had been peaceful so far, so whatever disturbed them now must be drastic to shake the serene tree.

"His dog." Yeosang pointed a vindictive branch hand at the cowering animal. "He peed on Jongho and me."

"That's what dogs do!" Yunho defended, eyes begging Seonghwa to rethink. The elf lifted his hand so he would quieten his agitated voice.

"What happened?"

"Jongho and I sat in the gardens together, having a good time and dozing as always. Then Yunho came out to let his dog have his morning run. He came right over and peed on us! I now have dog pee in my system!" Disgusted, Yeosang looked down at his arms. The sprouting greens across him looked lively as ever.

When Seonghwa looked at Jongho by Yeosang's side, the golem shrugged.

"I washed off and am fine, but I understand his point, so I am with him."

"A dog can't tell the difference between a tree and a rock and a dryad and a golem!" Yunho appealed to their conscience. His hand petted his buddy, terrified of losing him after all the discussions concerning him.

"He recognises us by scent, so yes, he should have. Don't you think the matters with him are becoming too many? I don't mind his presence, but this is ridiculous," Yeosang hissed. They both looked at Seonghwa, waiting for his verdict.

Seonghwa looked at Buddy and got whimpered at.

"Animals don't follow the same rules as us, that much is true. I allowed Buddy to stay fully aware of that. But Yunho, you need to consider Yeosang's disgust. How would you feel to have someone else pee on you?"

Yunho didn't miss a beat.

"Go for it."

When Seonghwa blinked at him with big eyes, losing his train of thought, the human grinned.

"Go for it. I'll prove to you it's nowhere as bad as you make it out to be. If you believe me afterwards, I get to keep Buddy."

Frazzled, Seonghwa swallowed his words. He didn't even bring out that this wasn't about sending Buddy away, but more about restricting his movement.

"Gross; what the stars?" Wooyoung grimaced. He gagged when Yunho shrugged.

"It's another part of our gorgeous husband I get to appreciate, no? It's the cycle of nature; as if I could fault anyone for it. Trees shed their leftovers in their way."

"Rocks don't," Jongho added.

Yunho's expectant eyes found Seonghwa.

"So?"

Befuddled by his suggestion, Seonghwa just stared at him. After a moment, he remembered this was his call to make.

"Fine, let's discuss. You others, wait for my verdict in the dining room."

Yeosang took off with a grumble, but the shock had appeased his ire. He glanced over his shoulder to watch as Yunho shooed Buddy over to Mingi and led Seonghwa inside his room. Awkward, Seonghwa hugged his sleeping robe around his body while Yunho locked the door so no curious eyes would peep in.

"Alright, come here." Yunho patted the edge of his bed. Incredulous, Seonghwa blinked.

"You were serious?"

"Of course! There is nothing about you I don't adore and a body's functions are dictated by nature. Here, I'll show you how." He stood to grasp Seonghwa's hand and tugged him closer. When the elf's stiff body refused to sit, Yunho sunk to his knees in front of him instead. Appreciative hands roamed Seonghwa's legs and waist.

"It can be arousing, you know? Peeing inside a partner is a new type of paradise."

How were humans this peculiar?

"I'm... Not sure about this," Seonghwa mumbled. Though he also hadn't been last time, when Yunho wanted his feet on him.

His curiosity besieged his confusion, and he ran his fingers through Yunho's hair. Satisfied, Yunho nuzzled against his hip.

"This is perfect. I missed your touch so much and now I get to ingrain your taste in me until you return. I'm a lucky man." His hand came up to massage Seonghwa's groin and the elf's lids fluttered in the hazy bliss of his clinging sleep.

"You don't have to do this," he reminded Yunho, but the man already nudged his robe apart. He wrapped his hand around Seonghwa and peered up at him from doe eyes.

"I'm not just doing this for Buddy, you know? As if I would pass up on this chance."

Sometimes, Seonghwa didn't understand Yunho, but that was fine. Though their words might be different, their actions were the same.

When Yunho pulled Seonghwa closer so he could take him in his mouth, Seonghwa conceded with a muffled moan.

"Go on," Yunho muttered as he kissed Seonghwa's tip. "In my mouth, please."

Seonghwa didn't know what Yunho did to make something so odd appealing, but his body reacted. With a fresh rush of his blood, his arousal happily hardened, making it difficult for the elf to concentrate.

"Alright..." He muttered. Yunho had picked a spot without carpet underneath in case they made a mess, but Seonghwa was still prudent as he led his tip further inside, making sure Yunho's lips closed tightly around it. Then he faltered once more. This was different from coming inside someone's mouth, yet Yunho acted as if it wasn't. Wasn't this disgusting and humiliating? Could he love even this part of Seonghwa?

Puzzled yet assured since Yunho proved to him how eccentric his interests were, Seonghwa cupped Yunho's jaw with his free hand. Yunho's tongue flicked out to lure him in, and his pleading eyes, combined with another suck, won Seonghwa over.

He started carefully, reluctant to let go in such a place where it didn't belong. Yunho's eyes rolled back as his tongue flicked at Seonghwa, hungrily gathering up everything he had to offer. When he took him deeper, greedy for anything, Seonghwa allowed their bodies to shift closer. He could feel Yunho grinding against his leg and he was so, so hard.

"Y-Yunho," Seonghwa muttered, breath stuttering when his pleasure mixed with the attempt to relieve himself, making it difficult on both ends. He bit his lip as he concentrated, gently rocking back and forth into Yunho's face as his fluids filled Yunho's throat. The human swallowed eagerly, taking everything Seonghwa had to give. A dribble escaped him, clinging to his chin, but his eyes sparkled as he looked up at Seonghwa.

The pleasure tingling through his bladder and lower back was new to Seonghwa. He didn't understand Yunho's desires, but he didn't need to.

Seonghwa was achingly hard by the time the last dribble escaped him. When he clutched Yunho's head with a muffled moan, the man took him deeper, burying his nose in Seonghwa's stomach to finish him. His eyes were hazy, and he desperately rolled his hips into Seonghwa's leg, so Seonghwa had mercy on him and lifted his bare foot to press it down against Yunho. The bulge in the man's pants twitched against him, as eager to welcome him back as Yunho had been.

Seonghwa came with a shuddering moan, curling over Yunho. The presence of his pee in the bedroom hadn't given him much, probably because he hated making a mess. However, Yunho sat below him with glowing cheeks and hazy eyes, looking debauched, though all he had done was take Seonghwa in his mouth.

While Yunho cleaned him up, Seonghwa took mercy on him and leaned his weight on his foot. It ground against Yunho, squishing him, and Yunho's loud moan echoed through the castle. His hips jerked up, thrusting into the punitive sole of Seonghwa's foot, and a moment later, he stiffened when a shudder seized him. Wetness touched upon Seonghwa's toes, but Yunho licked them clean for him.

They sat on the bed to catch their breath, and Yunho smiled from one ear to the other.

"Thank you for your blessing, Your Highness. I'll tell you a secret. Receiving is better than giving with this experience. Ask me if you ever want to try it out."

Seonghwa sorted his robe around him, still catching up with the way Yunho took this with so much ease. Perhaps he honestly saw no issue in Buddy relieving himself on Yeosang and Jongho when he should have recognised them.

"I don't know if I could do this," Seonghwa confessed. He leaned into the arm Yunho wrapped around him, shuddering through his post-orgasm shocks.

"You don't have to drink it. Some relish it on their skin, some like to have it deep inside. The feeling of being filled like that and all that wetness... It's heavenly."

Now, Seonghwa caught himself blushing. As usual, Yunho taught him a whole new world.

"That's a good reaction. We can build upon that." Yunho kissed Seonghwa's cheek and Seonghwa grimaced.

"Later, perhaps. For now, I need you to brush your teeth. Don't worry about Buddy. I have it covered."

Gleeful, Yunho sprung to wash up. Seonghwa fixed his clothes and hair, leaving nothing about his appearance to give away what they had just done.

Not as if the others hadn't heard.

When Seonghwa entered the dining room, everyone had assembled for breakfast. He strode in with his usual dignity, keeping his head high and his shoulders straight as he sat down. He nodded a good morning at Hongjoong.

"So?" Yeosang asked, impatient to hear an answer. Hongjoong advocated for getting rid of Buddy since he caused so many problems, but Wooyoung changed his mind. He felt closer to Yunho than before since they both got to bring their pets.

Seonghwa could be glad it was just the animals they bonded over.

"We are keeping Buddy," Seonghwa replied curtly.

Moans broke out across the table. Excited at the news, Buddy nuzzled Mingi, who cheered on the dog with a shy smile.

"Just like that? You are so easy to buy, Seonghwa," Yeosang groaned. When Seonghwa ducked his head, Jongho snickered about him.

"Same chances for everyone," Seonghwa explained. Then, he dodged Hongjoong's glinting eyes to address Yeosang.

"I'm sorry this happened, though. I shall have the servants produce you the raspberry drink you enjoy so much, so you may wash everything away."

Yeosang sighed.

"It's fine. We will depart tomorrow and the way through the forest will circulate my system. I won't forget this, though."

"Fair enough." Seonghwa wouldn't, either.
