Chapter 2: Building Tension
They played video games for a little over an hour, Trent catching up to Beast Boy’s high scores a little too fast for his liking. Eventually Trent’s unfamiliarity to the mortal world’s technology burnt him out, and he had to take a break.
When the laughter subsided, Trent turned to Beast Boy and spoke. “That was fun, thank you for showing me, next time I’ll surpass those scores.” He winked at Beast Boy, flustered because he was genuinely scared that’d happen.
”He laughed nervously.
“Trent, you’ve heard of the phrase ‘don’t knock it till you try it’, right? You should try taking a load off and just enjoy something - other than war and battle that is.”
Beast Boy patted the space next to him, leaving it to the gods to decide if Trent would take the bait. The air tensed between them, the moment seemingly dragging on forever, until Trent finally caved in and sat next to him.
“Of course, that’s what my books are for.” Trent said as he magically conjured one of his books from his room. “I’ll still hang out with you as you play though.” Trent said as he flipped open his book. Beast Boy picked up his game to continue where he left off.
He couldn’t help but glance over to Trent every now and then, entertained by the way he seemed so engrossed in his book. Trent’s voice interrupted the silence though, causing Beast Boy to almost lose control of the joystick he held.
“Gods, this book is terrible.” He groaned at the page he was reading.
“Then switch books, pick a better one.” Beast Boy said as he turned down the volume of the video game, giving them both a nice reprieve.
“I don’t have any other one here.” Trent replied, his voice strained as he tried not to show his annoyance.
Beast Boy sensed his frustration and decided to reach out to him. “You know, it’s fine to let loose sometimes. You can’t always be buttoned up and proper, let your guard down.” He stretched out his hand, ready to reach for the book in Trent’s hands.
” Let me take a look.”
Trent’s eyes widened, but he still handed it over to Beast Boy. Beast Boy flipped through the pages, and his eyes lit up. ”I think I know what you need.”
He threw the book aside and shifted into a wolf. Trent’s eyes widened as he watched, the shift happening in an instant. Beast Boy nudged his head against Trent’s hand, urging him to pet him.
Trent hesitated for a moment, but his hand eventually moved towards Beast Boy’s soft, green fur.
He stroked it gently, feeling a strange sense of comfort.
“Relax.” Beast Boy said in a soothing tone. Trent’s breathing evened out as he took in Beast Boy’s presence.
Beast Boy shifted back into his human form, and Trent’s eyes widened as he took in the green-skinned, muscular man in front of him.
“All better? Canines make everything better” Beast Boy said with a chuckle. He walked back over to his spot on the couch and curled up to it, his tail swaying over between himself and Trent as he picked his book back up.
Trent couldn’t stop staring at the green, fluffy appendage, the way it swayed hypnotically from side to side as the boy was deeply engrossed in his game.
Without a second thought, he reached over and gripped it between his fingers, feeling the warmth of the other's body against his own.
Beast Boy’s tail twitched at the touch, but Trent didn’t pay attention. He continued massaging it, feeling the muscles of the tail flexing under his fingers.
It wasn’t long until Trent’s hands started moving higher up on the tail, the green fluff tickling his fingers.
He felt Beast Boy shiver at his touch, and his heart skipped a beat. Beast Boy seems into it, he can barely concentrate on his game anymore as he tries to hold it in. Was he really doing this?
Fuck it, he thought as he grabbed the tail and pulled it towards him. Beast Boy gasped as Trent’s hands moved towards his waist, the warmth from Trent’s hands spreading throughout his body.
Trent leaned in closer, his lips inches away from Beast Boy’s ear. He whispered, “Do you want this?”
Beast Boy nodded, unable to speak.
He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as Trent’s hands explored his body, feeling the hard muscles that lay beneath his skin.
Trent ran his fingers down Beast Boy’s abs, feeling the muscles tense under his touch. He smirked and leaned in closer, his lips brushing against Beast Boy’s ear.
“Do you want me to keep going?” Beast Boy nodded again, his breath hitching as Trent’s fingers continued their descent down his body. Trent’s hand trailed down to Beast Boy’s thigh, gripping it tightly as he moved closer, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss.
The kiss was intense, their lips moving in sync as they savored the taste of each other. Trent’s hands wandered to Beast Boy’s waist, pulling him closer as their bodies pressed together.
Beast Boy couldn’t believe what was happening, but he couldn’t deny the fact that he wanted more. Trent’s touch ignited a fire within him, a hunger that he hadn’t felt before.
As they explored each other’s bodies, time seemed to stand still. The only thing that mattered was the heat between them, the chemistry that neither of them could deny. They pulled away from each other for a moment, their eyes locked as they caught their breath.
