To be human is to move forward. Creativity breeds innovation. The dawn of the century brought forth a boom in engineering. In time, innovation birthed the ATHENS, a state-of-the-art robot built in the image of humans, with the larger-than-life proportions to allow us to build higher.
ATHENS stood for All-Terrain High-Efficiency Neurotransmittor System. With a link to the pilot’s brain, movement was more fluid, and reaction times were cut down to a fraction of what archaic machines offered. The agriculture and construction industries boomed. Though it was a matter of time before the ATHENS became standard use for military forces, the landscape of warfare changed forever.
~
Zeke fights to keep his eyes open. His hands are trembling on the control stick.
An ambush in the middle of last night cut his meager sleep short. All available ATHENS pilots were ordered to sortie. He led his team of ten–an eclectic mix of seasoned veterans and recruits fresh out of the academy–out into chaos. Scrambled comms. Poor visibility. All in the middle of a passing thunderstorm. Poor omens everywhere.
“Bogeys are falling back. We need to do the same. Half of us are in desperate need of refueling. Armaments are running low on ammunition,” Zeke says urgently. “We’re tired. We need to dock now.”
“That’s a negative, Zephyr,” chatter from the radio says back. “We’re getting a signal coming in hot. Enemy ATHENS unit due east. Low flying. Speeds exceeding all known enemy models.”
Zeke turns his machine, gritting his teeth and bouncing his leg. No visual yet. Whoever it is, they were using the cover of the mountains. He squints. With the sun in his eyes, they were at a severe disadvantage, as if the low supplies weren’t bad enough.
The radar pings finally, and a distant silhouette catches a glint of the sun when it breaks above the mountain line. Zeke’s throat dries, and his eyes widen when the unit vanishes, thrusting high up into the clouds. A boom shakes his ATHENS, but not enough to throw it off balance.
“Zephyr and Echo Team. Change of plans. Do not engage. All surviving units, return to base ASAP.” The commander does little to hide the dread in his voice, and Zeke doesn’t like the sound of that.
He stares up at the sky; fatigued eyes scan every cloud form for a sign of movement. Quiet. Eerily quiet. A glint of purple flashes, and Zekes flies out before his head gets the chance to overthink. His shield raises up to deflect the distant beam shot before it could take out one of his allies.
“Thanks, Zeke. I owe you one,” he hears over the radio.
“Make it up to me later,” Zeke says, gulping hard. “Echo team, I need everyone to get out of here, immediately. If you have working thrusters and wing units, help your grounded teammates and help taxi their ATHENS back to the ship.”
“Zeke, we’re sitting ducks out here. That enemy unit’ll pick us off one by one!”
“I’ll buy you guys time, now get moving!” Zeke calls out. “I’ll cover you.”
He blocks another purple beam, narrowly saving another one of his teammates. There’s only one enemy with the gall to approach them alone: Theo Brandt, the ace pilot of the Pacific Union’s ATHENS forces. Callsign: Phoenix. He’s seen just as many campaigns as Zeke has, and they’ve crossed paths multiple times: each of them nearly avoiding death.
A long shot sweeps past Zeke, and it connects with a boom and flash. Chatter over the radio increases.
“Phoenix got my wing unit. Not falling yet, but I can’t fly.”
“Echo 4, I got you. Just watch our six and give us what cover fire you can.”
Zeke takes a deep breath, pushing the thruster forward. In his peripherals, he sees the rest of his team regrouping, barely dodging what beams they can. Blips on the radar are finally making some distance, and he breathes much easier for it.
This new ATHENS is faster than anything he’d ever seen. Zeke zooms up to close the gap between them, but by the time he reaches Theo’s last position, he’s being flanked, dodging what blasts he can.
Zeke’s grip on his control stick tightens, and he grits his teeth, clenching his jaw. He can hear Theo’s voice on the radio, and he scoffs at the smug tone. “Now that the distractions are out of the way, you and I can fight to our hearts’ content.”
“All this for another grudge match?” Zeke screams, pushing his ATHENS to the limit. “If that’s what you want, Theo, it ends. Here right now.”
“Those are words. I’ve never thought I’d hear you say you finally have the will to shoot me down?” Theo taunts.
Zeke fires a missile, watching in disgust as Theo spectacularly evades it. Sharp turns and angles through the air leave the missile detonating without so much as a scratch on Theo’s machine. Theo fires back with a flurry from his head-mounted guns, but Zeke’s shield tanks the barrage.
“We’ve fought this battle ten times over, Zeke. You and I know how it will end. I know your every move. Your every reaction,” Theo says before firing staggered shots, one after the other, towards Zeke. “You’re going to feint left and step back until you can create an opening for yourself.”
“If you know my every move, why don’t you just go for the kill-shot?” Zeke says, frustrated that he can be so predictable. A symptom of their constant skirmishes over the years.
“Surely, you don’t feel it too, don’t you?” Theo says. “We are gods amongst ATHENS pilots. Living legends. Modern myths. Few have seen more combat than we have. I have no equal except for you. To kill you is to put an end to this game.”
“How could you call this a game? Do you know how many of my comrades you’ve killed?”
“Don’t be so self-righteous. Zephyr, the so-called merciful ace. You refuse to kill–only disabling ATHENS machines. Those pilots live to fight another day. Do you think you can solve a conflict like that?” Theo says, unloading a barrage of missiles towards me
The lock-on warning sound is one of the worst noises to hear in the cockpit. Fifteen blaring alerts simultaneously are deafening. Zeke sweats, strafing, at his wits’ end. He zooms just out of detonation range, but the shockwaves stagger his movements.
A hard zigzag pattern helps him shake the majority of the projectiles, but a single missile is particularly tenacious. A thruster warning flashes on Zeke’s heads-up display, and he eases on the throttle. Zeke maneuvers his shield to guard the cockpit and lets it take the blow.
The boom sends shards of the shattered shield flying in every direction, and he drops the bits that remain. Running is no way to take on Theo. If Zeke wants to hold him off, he has to take action.
His wing units expand, and he boosts towards Theo’s ATHENS. Breaking above the clouds, he finally gets a look at the elusive machine. Large wing units with exhaust exiting in violent flames. Hardly the pinnacle of mechanical efficiency, but a suit like this couldn’t be more fitting for a pilot with the callsign Phoenix.
Theo raises his rifle, sending a flurry of blasts in Zeke‘s direction. Zeke zips away to dodge. Without the bulk of his shield, he’s able to move faster, but every movement is crucial now. One misstep, and he’s a goner.
Zeke fires back in small bursts, recoil shakes his camera feed, but bullets ricochet off of Theo‘s armor. This is a chance to close the distance between them. After loading the last magazine into his rifle, he blitzes towards Theo.
A quick barrel roll gets him out of the way of a charged shot, and small bursts of return fire leave Theo backing away. The thruster warning sounds again as Zeke pushes forward. The heat in the cockpit rises, and sweat gathers on his brow. Come on. A little more.
He’s within meters of Theo now, and at this distance, it’s exponentially more difficult to dodge. Even the slightest hesitation would bring the battle to an end.
ATHENS pilots know this feeling all too well: on the brink of death, everything slows. Time slows to a crawl. Movements are telegraphed much more easily, and even the path forward reveals itself to you.
A deep exhale calms Zeke’s nerves, and he steadies his grip on the controls. In moments like this, he does feel like a god.
Zeke catches the purple glint from the barrel of Theo‘s gun. A strafe to the side would have too much g-force and would leave Zeke wide open for an attack. He steels his resolve, and the second Theo pulls the trigger, Zeke throws his rifle into the beam’s path. An explosion at point-blank range disorients Theo.
In that flash and boom, Zeke siezes the opportunity. Their machines clash, and his ATHENS’ free hand reaches for the head, closing down to crush its camera sensor. With no means to see, Theo is out of options. Zeke grabs his last weapon: the heat saber mounted on his ATHENS’ waist. He aims his strike. How fitting would it be to bisect his foe straight across the middle, just as Theo had done to countless comrades.
He cuts Theo’s beam rifle in half, disabling it, and another pair of blows clips the wings from Theo’s unit, sending them falling down to the ground, exploding on impact.
The controls lock up, and Zeke looks around the cockpit, eyes darting between all of the error messages:
Insufficient Fuel
Thrusters Failing
Low Battery: 2%
Even with his wings expanded, Zeke’s ATHENS is dead weight, and he plummets. Speed builds with each second of freefall. He turns his unit briefly to face the ground; there are trees to break the fall, even if marginally, but he prays he doesn’t land on the wrecks of Theo’s wings. There isn’t a button or switch that can save him. As the ground gets closer, Zeke braces for impact.
His ATHENS slows, and Zeke’s eyes dart open, looking at his camera feed.
With Theo’s cockpit cover open, he grabs onto Zeke’s machine, using what thrust he can to slow the fall. “I've got you, Zephyr.”
Zeke’s impressed by how well it works, even with Theo’s wing boosters gone. Mere meters off the ground, Zeke’s unit falls on its back the rest of the way down, landing with a gentle crash.
He sits in disbelief, surrounded by the chimes of warnings, until the cockpit blacks out completely. All he can hear is mechanical sounds from outside his ATHENS. Whirring. Clanks. Coiling. Footsteps. Clicks and grinding. Air pressure being released when the cockpit hatch opens slowly.
Zeke reaches for the gun on his hip and aims it at the silhouette eclipsing the light shining in.
Theo laughs, raising his hands. “Are you serious? I saved you.”
“I’ll do it,” Zeke assures. His hands tremble, and his finger rubs against the trigger. “I said I’d end things.”
Theo hops down, puts his hand on the top of the handgun, and lowers it. “It’s not your style, Zeke. Let’s get you out of here. You got rations?”
I unbuckle my harnesses and pop open the storage compartment for my knapsack before slinging it over my shoulders. We climb out together and carefully hop down to the ground. Theo walks away, and I call out to him, “Why’d you save me?”
“You would’ve done the same,” he answers, before climbing his machine, and I hear fluid drain to the ground.
I take a whiff. It’s a familiar smell. Fuel. My eyes widen as Theo lights a cigarette, only to throw it into the pool of fluid underneath his ATHENS. It combusts, and he walks away, removing his helmet and throwing it into the flame.
“Good riddance,” he mutters to himself.
“Why would you do that?” Zeke asks, eyes darting between the growing blaze and Theo. It’s bizarre to acknowledge that he’s just another guy. On the battlefield, it’s different. As Theo said earlier, they were living legends, revered by their peers and colleagues. But right now, Zeke was looking at Theo, the man, instead of Theo, the man of myth.
“So I can finally stop fighting,” Theo answers. His expression drops, and he walks away, not looking back once.
Zeke stares at the fire as it slowly spreads to the legs of Theo’s abandoned machine. He catches up to walk by Theo’s side.
~
The whole is spent looking for a good place to make camp. Lots of walking. Most of the trek is made in silence, though Zeke attempts to make conversation occasionally, even if it never blooms past small talk.
Once, they find a river, it’s as good a place as any. They each set a place to sleep. Zeke puts out his sleeping bag and drapes the blanket over it.
“Those MREs you got any good? I always wondered how well the other side eats,” Theo muses. He walks over, sitting cross-legged next to Zeke. “Though it’s not glamorous either way, I guess.”
“I have…” Zeke says, digging through his bag. “Ravioli, chili, and what looks like some pulled pork. Pick your poison.”
“Can I get that pulled pork? We don’t have that in the standard-issue kits. I’ll trade you for…teriyaki chicken.”
Zeke raises his eyebrow, contemplating the trade. “Deal. But I get a bite of the pulled pork.”
The two swap bags, and Theo shakes his head, sucking his teeth. His knees brush Zeke’s. “Negotiating with the man who saved your life? Unbelievable.”
“Seconds before, you were trying to kill me,” Zeke refutes sharply.
“Laughable,” Theo says. “As if I could do that. I meant what I said. To kill you is to put an end to all of…this .”
Zeke huffs through his nose, looking away. “I don’t know what you mean. There’s nothing between us.”
“It cuts deep to hear you say that,” Theo jokes, looking down. His smile gradually fades. “Genuinely, I do feel a sort of…connection with you.”
Zeke raises eyebrows, ignoring the desire to scoff in Theo‘s face. “Oh yeah?” Humor me. What about us could possibly be similar?
“Think of your first sortie. How many of your comrades are still alive?”
“A few of them,” Zeke says truthfully, “Though most of them aren’t really piloting an ATHENS. After a promotion, they usually opt for a desk job. Something comfortable, it seems. Not everyone is built for combat.”
“Why aren’t you doing more pencil pushing, then? I’m inclined to say you’ve got more skirmishes under your belt than half of the United Front forces. Even some of the bigwigs probably haven’t even seen active combat.”
“What’s your point?” Zeke asks.
“I’m saying that this is all we know. I was drafted when I was 21, and I assume the same for you?”
“I was 18, actually,” Zeke answers with a grin.
“Jesus,” Theo says, bringing his palm to his forehead. “I can’t believe a pilot three years my junior was giving me a run for my money on the battlefield on a regular basis.”
“Even if I could disable your ATHENS, you just kept coming back with a new unit. Over and over. Like a thorn in the United Front’s side.” Zeke grits his teeth.
“How do you think I earned my callsign? I always come back.”
“Except now,” Zeke shoots back quickly, and Theo shrugs in response. “Why did you destroy the suit back there?”
“I’m done. I want no part in it anymore. War after war, it’s more of the same. Our nations are made up of people who have no glaring differences outside of location. Politicians create conflict on behalf of war-mongering corporations.”
Zeke listens on, and a frown crosses his face.
The Pacific Union ATHENS, and the ones from the United Front? Chances are they’re made in the same factory. The same frames with maybe a different chassis, a different paint job, and maybe some slight variations to change the tide of battle. They’re the ones who truly call the shots. You and I are just pawns. Tools of propaganda. We pilot because we’re good at it.”
“I tried my hand at civilian life before,” Zeke admits, hugging his knees close to his chest. “I tried everything. An honest job. Getting a proper education. But when news would hit about a new conflict, my helmet would practically call my name. I’d reenlist. I felt like I couldn’t acclimate to a normal life. I’ve seen too much done too much. Piloting was my normal.”
“Dare I say I feel most alive when I’m in the cockpit of an ATHENS?” Theo says fondly, staring up at the moon. “Even more so when I’m facing you.”
Zeke’s chest tightens, not just because he feels the same, but also because these are things he’s never been able to say out loud. He turns towards Theo and follows his line of sight towards the moon. “In a world without war, do you think you and I would’ve been friends? Maybe battle isn’t the only thing that connects us.”
“To believe this world can exist without war is naïve<” Theo says. He places his hand on top of Zeke’s. “But given the opportunity, I would want to be more.”
“I tried to date, too,” Zeke admits, before laughing.
“Did you ever find anyone who kept your interest? One who could look past the war hero persona? Someone who saw you for you?”
“That’s the thing,” Zeke says with a smile, looking down into his lap. “Everyone sees the triumph, but no one sees the pain in the suffering that we try so hard to bottle up. Few know what it’s like to live the life we had to.”
Theo gets up to kneel and turns to face Zeke. His hands rest on Zeke’s shoulders, and he tilts the other’s head up towards his. Leaning forward, Theo presses his forehead against Zeke‘s. The two stare into each other’s eyes, and Theo’s words come out as a whisper, “I know what it’s like. It’s one reason I feel so drawn to you.”
He moves closer, as if a magnet pulls him in, and he closes his eyes, puckering his lips until they meet Zeke’s. Soft. It’s more tender than he expects. For someone as ferocious as Theo on the battlefield, he’s surprisingly gentle. Theo’s hands slowly untuck Zeke‘s shirt.
“In a world where we’re not connected by war, I would hope love would connect us instead,” Theo says.
Zeke stares in disbelief, but his body doesn’t resist anything. His hips scoot forward towards Theo, and his breath hitches when hands unbuckle his belt and undo his pants. He puts his hand on Theo’s neck, and they move up, cradling the back of his head.
He pulls Theo in for a kiss. This one’s deeper. Longer too. Time stands still. Zeke melts. Arms wrap around him, pulling him for a warm embrace, and the kiss deepens. The two share a breath, and Zeke ignores the sparks in his chest. He pulls away and stares at Theo. “I…don’t know what to say.”
“Say that you want this. Say that this is okay,” Theo says before pausing. “This is okay, isn’t it?”
Zeke smiles before nodding, leaning in to kiss. His fingers tangle into Theo’s hair. He shudders against the man. Lips part, and tongues slip past to meet in the middle.
The growing bulge in his pants is impossible to ignore, especially when Theo places his hand on his crotch. He rubs through fabric, and Zeke groans against Theo’s mouth, begging for release from the prison of his clothes.
His hands clumsily undo Theo’s pants, and he pulls them down to reveal a cock that’s already dripping with clear fluid. A chill runs down Zekes’s spine as air passes over his own exposed hardness. He leans in for a kiss, taking Theo into his hand. Soft flesh pulses, warm in his grasp. Zeke strokes slowly at first, speeding up when Theo reciprocates the touch.
Their competitive spirit shines through. Years of tension fostered their unique dynamic. Zeke spits on his hand, stroking slowly from tip to base, grinning to himself when Theo moans. To see the ace pilot in this state gives him a sense of satisfaction he didn’t know he needed.
Zeke's smugness is short-lived when Theo prepares his counterattack. Theo grips tighter, focusing his efforts on the lower half of Zeke‘s cock. Zeke humps into Theo’s fist, desperately needing more of his touch. He curses under his breath, whimpering, and he feels clear warmth seep out of him.
Theo eases himself down, grabbing Zeke by the base and licking up what drops he can. His eyes widen when he’s tugged by his hair back up, and Zeke kisses him again, more urgently this time, melting at the taste of his pre-cum on Theo’s tongue.
Zeke scoots closer until their dicks press together. He wraps his hand around both of them, stroking them in tandem. The hand in Theo’s hair tightens its grip, pulling a soft groan from Theo’s mouth.
“Underhanded tactics? I didn’t think you had it in you,” Theo says with a grin.
“I thought you said I can’t win battles with mercy,” Zeke teases. “Unless you want me to stop?”
“God, no.”
Zeke spits in his hand, and it lets him glide across Theo more easily. They moan against each other’s mouths, dicks grinding between them. Theo’s hands rest on Zeke’s ass and he squeezes it tightly while taking a nibble of Zeke’s bottom lip
Theo’s breath picks up, and he curses to himself, fingers clawing lightly against Zeke‘s skin. His legs shake, and he coils his arms around Zeke, burying his face in the crook of his neck. “W-wait, I'm gonna—”
Heat covers both of their cocks as Theo spills over, humping against Zeke. A few more strokes leave him dribbling over Zeke’s hands. Theo pants, struggling to regain his composure, and he yelps when he's pushed into the blanket.
Zeke licks his lips and works on removing both of their pants fully. He kneels between Theo’s legs. His hand gently grabs the freshly spent dick, and he takes it into his mouth, loving the softness and licking up every drop of cum he can. He tastes good, even with the lingering flavor of dried sweat.
Theo’s expression is overcome with desperation, and parted lips beg for a kiss. Zeke moves up to grant his lovers request, pressing his lips against Theo’s. Theo's tongue enters his mouth, greedily lapping for a taste of cum, and shuddering when the flavor hits his lips. “Your turn?”
“Please,” Zeke says excitedly. He settles onto his back. His heart races watching Theo suck on his throbbing hardness. He was never one to back away from a challenge, and this is no exception. Warm lips swallow Zeke up, and he lowers his head to the ground, staring up at the sky. He can’t resist the urge to thrust up into Theo’s mouth.
“That’s really good,” Zeke says, struggling to speak. Theo’s hands rest on his thighs, and the light touch of nails gently grazing his skin heightens every sensation.
Theo bobs his head, slurping slowly. Slobber seeps out from the corner of his mouth, and he moans when Zeke’s hands push him further down. He slides a hand around Zeke’s base and lowers his lips until they kiss the ring of his closed fist.
Zeke is impressed with his former foe. He’s able to take all of that without so much as a gag or complaint. He moans Theo’s name, thrusting deeper into his face.
“Don’t tell me you’re at your limit,” Theo goads, licking his lips.
“Not even close,” Zeke says, pulling Theo off his dick. He leans in for a kiss, enjoying the extra mess of Theo‘s spit dripping down his chin.
Theo pins him down by the wrist, taking a few more kisses before climbing up to straddle Zeke. He spits on his palm, graciously gifting Zeke with generous strokes before raising his hips and thrusting down to impale himself.
Their hands interlock, and they moan together as their bodies inch towards each other. Theo slides down slowly, taking what he can muster, and Zeke inches deeper. They rock together in unison as their hips close whatever distance stands between them.
When Theo bottoms out, he rests, panting, with the biggest smile on his face. A moment is spent staring deep into the eyes of the other. Even without words, the message is clear:
More
I want this
I need this
I need you
Zeke wraps his arms around Theo, holding him tightly, and their lips meet slowly. They grind against each other, hips falling in sync. Mutual pleasure is apparent in every moment. He revels in every touch and sensation. This surpasses even the thrill of piloting an ATHENS.
His grip tightens around Theo’s body, holding him up as he slowly withdraws, only to push back up. Theo’s hands on his shoulders tremble with every clap of their skin meeting. Curses slip out whenever their lips break apart for air.
Theo’s breath quickens, and he claws into Zeke’s shoulder. He feels that throbbing dick press against his sweet spot with every deep stroke. “Go harder. I can take it.”
The sound of Theo’s whimpers are music to Zeke’s ears. He slams up into him, stretching him out. Theo’s grip in his hair leaves Zeke‘s neck riddled with goosebumps. Kisses on his jawline spur him to thrust deeper. With a grin, he tells Theo, “I know you can.”
He looks down, staring at the way Theo hardens. Impressive recovery time. It’s begging to be played with, and Zeke would like nothing less. Stroking slowly, his thumb spreads across the top of Theo’s tip.
He picks up his speed, both in his hands and of his thrust. Shallow, bated breaths sound from Theo’s lips, and he continues, pushing, gritting his teeth as he bucks up with all of his might.
“Please…” Every word out of Steve’s mouth barely slips past shallow breaths, “Don’t…stop…”
Zeke brings a hand to cup Theo’s ass. He rolls his hips, pushing deep, ending every thrust with a low grent.
Theo stumbles forward, landing on top of Zeke. Lips find each other, even if clumsily. Zeke continues to stroke Theo while pushing deep, and Theo pulls away, desperate for air. He whines, and his eyes shut when he tightens around Zeke and curses when he sprays a thick rope across his stomach. He pushes himself back up, head still spinning
Zeke stares at the milky pool on his abdomen. Dipping his fingertips in, Zeke spreading them apart to see how the cum strings between his fingers. He thinks of earlier and how good Theo tasted. He’d love another helping, but he brings his fingers to Theo’s mouth, and the man sucks them clean, tongue swirling and laughing up every drop.
“I thought it was your turn,” Theo says, flustered. He wipes sweat off his forehead and steadies his hands on Zeke’s chest. He moves his legs until his feet are flat on the blanket. After lifting his hips, he smiles, enjoying the anticipation on Zeke‘s face. He drops down, bottoming out immediately, and their bodies meet with a thunderous clap.
Zeke can’t get over just how incredible Theo looks as he bounces on him. The feeling of that tight ring traveling down his shaft makes his mind melt. He tries to buck up to buck and thrust into Theo, but the man shakes his head and wags his finger.
Theo leans forward, putting his weight on his hands, keeping Zeke pinned down while his ass does all the work. Every bounce is a loud impact that milks moans out of them both. Theo’s dick flops with every drop of his hips.
Zeke grabs Theo’s dick, giving it a few strokes, and his thumb rubs over the tip, circling it with every glide of his hands.
Theo winces, whimpering before barely pushing the words out. “It’s sensitive.”
“Should I stop?” Zeke asks, and he’s met with protest in the form of violent head-shaking.
“Please don’t. I want to come with you again.”
“Just keep riding.” Zeke grabs one of Theo’s hands, and their fingers weave together so that he can support him. Theo keeps bouncing, and Zeke can only commend his stamina. He thrusts up towards to meet each stroke halfway, and he moans his lover‘s name. “I’ve got you. Let me fill you up.”
Theo nods, grabbing his flailing dick. Desperate strokes hope to milk him for more.
The heat that’s been building slowly in the pit of Zeke‘s core burns hot. It consumes him, spreading from his base and shooting out, sending hot spurts through his shaft to flood Theo’s tight hole. He desperately grabs Theo’s waist, thrusting to push his seed deeper and deeper.
Theo strokes himself faster, emptying himself all over Zeke‘s body. It starts with an eager rope that lands on Zeke’s face, while the rest leave generous pools on his chest and stomach. He collapses on top of Zeke, holding him tenderly. Slow trails of Zeke’s hands down Theo’s back calm him, and he smiles before leaning up for a chaste peck.
He sighs. “It’s a fitting end for it all, you know?”
“I…don’t think I know what you mean,” Zeke says hesitantly. His hands move up to pet Theo’s hair, pressing down loose waves.
“Either of our sides will see the wreckage, and there’ll only be one way to interpret it: the ace pilot, Phoenix, shot down at last. Morale for the Pacific Union will crumble, and the tide will shift. Maybe the war will end, finally. You can give civilian life another try,” Theo says. His bittersweet smile fades. “This is as good a way as any for me to say farewell.”
“You won’t come with me?” Zeke asks. Distraught is an understatement. He’s filled with feelings he doesn’t know what to do with. Feelings that confuse him, but he knows one thing: he doesn’t want to be away from Theo. He tightens his grip around the man.
“How could I? Once I’m discovered, there’s no winning for me. I’m a prisoner of war if the United Front if I’m lucky. Otherwise, it’s straight to public execution. If the Union finds me, I’ll be on trial for deserting. You, at least, have a shot at a normal life.”
“You said it yourself. We can’t live normal lives,” Zeke mutters. He looks away, ignoring the heat in his cheeks as he weaves his hand into Theo’s. “I don’t want this to end.”
“Both of us on the run?”
“We can change our names. Dye our hair. Find a corner of the world that doesn’t know who we are.”
“It won’t be easy,” Theo chuckles.
“I’ve never known Theo Brandt to take the easy way out,” Zeke says.
Silence falls between them, and Theo nods, unable to stop himself from smiling. The hands in his hair lull him to sleep, and he dozes off in Zeke’s arms. Zeke grins to himself, kissing the top of Theo’s head. His own eyelids grow heavy, and snores slip past his loose lips. It’ll be nice to rest.
To be human is to desire connection, and now that Zeke has found it, he doesn’t want to let go.
