Chapter Text
Maybe he decided he would let caine back in. at least in private. Because right now, weeks after he had decided to 'comfort' him, he was lying his head against the ai's chest atop Jax's bed, on top of the man he'd been avoiding since the day he'd been damned to this eternal hell. He wished he could hear his heartbeat.
He taps his finger on Caine's chest, rhythmically how he remembered the sound of a beating heart. He was sure he heard caine speaking with that obnoxiously loud, boisterous voice of his.
But the rabbit didn't hear a word of it, maybe he blacked out. He sure hoped he did, this entire situation felt humiliating.
Caine was probably laughing behind his back right now, telling everyone about his weakness. The thought made Jax curl up further.
he didn't deserve anyone, least of all this fool of an ai, who dragged him into some sort of pathetic relationship he'd rather stay as far away from as possible. He wanted to rip his own eyes out. or heart. if he had one.
maybe if he was abstracted, he wouldn't have these problems.
He didn't have much time to wallow in self pity, being shaken away from his thoughts.
Jax blinked, slowly coming back to reality. His vision cleared somewhat.
`What's with the long face, Starlet? You seem awfully gloomy!` The ringmaster chirped, cheerily.
Jax tried to shake his funk off as best he could. He's adapted to be good at hiding things from other people.
`Just... Just thinking.`
`About what, superstar?`
`nothing important.` The rabbit muttered before sitting up. He took a deep breath, composing himself.
`What am I doing? are we friends, caine? what are we? Because you seem.. close to me. but I can't tell. I get mixed messages from you.` The rabbit didn't meet Caine's eyes.
He wasn't looking forward to the answer, he just needed the truth. That way, if it ended badly, he'd at least have the closure he needed. Caine sat up beside him.
`We ARE friends, Jax! You can trust me.` Caine assured, giving his arm a comforting squeeze.
`Ugh, that wasn't what I was implying.` Jax grunts.
`Ah, my apologies. Could you perhaps clarify, Hunny Bunny?` Jax glared at caine after he had finished his sentence, silently pleading him to stop with the nicknames.
`I meant... Us? I mean. I think you like me.` He blurts out. His voice sounded strained. Why was he trying? this was an ai. Am I really this desperate? Jax contemplates.
`But of course I am fond of you, Jax!`
Jax eyed him from the side. He felt as if caine hadn't understood, once again.
`Yup. Whaaatever you say, Bud.` The rabbit said dryly, turning away. He thinks he should feel more insulted, but he knows caine is oblivious.
Caine gazed away, then back to the rabbit. `Would you rather I rephrase it? I love you, Dove.`
Jax's eyes widened, his heart almost stopped beating. Oh, wait. he didn't have one. oh well.
`Yeah, yeah. Whatever.' Jax waved it off. nonchalantly.
`Just a moment you seemed so involved, why are you drawing away now, Firecracker? I don't want to force you to talk, I'm simply curious. I've been observing your mannerisms more. You seem to draw away from people when you get too close. are you afraid of creating connections?` Caine asked with genuine curiosity. Jax was taken aback by the question.
`What.` The rabbits voice was monotonous, almost unbearably so.
`Do you not want to be attached to anyone? I wouldn't mind if you wanted to be attached to me! Ah, uh, hypothetically.` Caine murmured the last part, and Jax caught himself before bursting out into laughter.
`You wouldn't want that, caine. I'm not easy to handle.` The rabbit looked amused
`I love a good challenge.` Caine replied simply.
`I'm complicated, you'll get tired of it real quick.`
`We can work out complexities.` Caine offered Jax a gentle tone, taking his hands in his.
`You say that now.` Jax uttered sardonically.
`And I will not change my mind! I am determined to win you over!` Caine declared
`Charming.` Jax teased. He leaned into caine, kissing the top of his gums. `But, hey, give it a shot.` Caine beamed.
Jax closed his eyes, savoring this moment.
he felt arms delicately wrapping around his waist. Jax wrapped his arms around Caine as well, on his shoulders. Typical, Jax thought fondly.
They were silent for awhile longer, basking in each others company. Caine was playing with the tips of Jax's ears, rubbing the fine fur there.
Jax was, still, understandably confused. he didn't want this to end badly. he didn't exactly know where to progress from here. He didn't even know if he WANTED to go from here. he was unsure what he wanted.
there was nothing left to lose at this point, though. So why did he still feel nervous? Caine's touches burned. But that's okay, Jax was starting to get used to that. He was happy here, wasn't he? Caine loved him, he knew this. But that didn't make this any less terrifying.
The rabbit lie down, nudging caine closer.
Caine followed the motion.
`Is something wrong?` The ai queried.
`Not exactly. just a bit tense.` Jax admitted.
`Well, you needn't worry, starlet! We can figure this out together! Don't fret!` Caine reassured
Jax looked into Caine's eyes, finding the reassurance he so desperately needed. `Well, maybe.` He mused
Caine leaned into Jax. `I hope you know that you can trust me! We can take this slow and-`
`And if I don't want to take it slow?` Jax grinned, his breath racing slightly at the thrill of pushing boundaries.
The ai paused, looking thoughtful. `We'll take it as it comes!`
Jax snorted, shaking his head. anticipation and desire mixing heavily within him. God, he really hoped caine wasn't oblivious to what he meant. `You don't-`
`You underestimate me.` Caine's tone was concise, his fingers curling into the fabric of Jax's overalls. The rabbit was speechless for just a moment.
Caine pulled back slightly, placing a hand on Jax's cheek, trailing down to his shoulder.
`Say the word and I'll be eager to comply, dear!`
`Oh, I feel special, will I finally be able to break your family friendly facade?` Jax baits, beaming.
`Facade?` The ai queried, cocking his head to the side. Caine chortles. `How.. inventive.`
The ai angled himself closer into Jax, pressing tentative nips to the rabbits throat.
`I do suppose I have a reputation to uphold.` Caine murmurs discreetly between playful nibbles. Jax shivered, feeling his body tingle at every nip placed against his throat.
`Not a very meaningful one I'd wager.` Jax managed to mutter back, leaning his head into the pillow.
He couldn't focus on anything else, other than the ai's teasing tongue lapping against the juncture of his neck. He wanted nothing more to jerk away from it, having a hard time stomaching intimacy. yeah, he wanted it. But he never prepared for it.
It always happened too fast.
His body was reacting without warning or reason, it had gotten used to being in control, he realized. Jax's fingertips trailed to Caine's bow, untying the knot in it. He received an acknowledging hum in response.
Jax steadily started to unbutton the ringmasters suit, despite being allowed to, he felt guilty. horrible that he was indulging. he wanted to deny himself, but alas, being intimate with someone so dear seemed too perfect to pass up.
Jax slipped off the ai's uniform jacket, letting it drop onto the ground next to them.
Jax's hands slowly moved up the sides of Caine's waist, feeling the unfamiliar smoothness against his fingers.
The rabbits eyes trailed up to Caine's, lidded. Jax reached behind Caine, pulling the ai flush against him, lost in each other.
`You are stunning.` Caine adds feebly.
`Oh, don't go all mushy on me now.`
caine could hear the smirk in his partners voice.
`I would never!` Caine protested.
Jax responded with a small 'Mm-Hm', smug. The ai slips Jax's overall straps off of his shoulders, his fur scrambled beneath.
The rabbit pulled himself away slightly, loosening caines undershirt off, exposing bare skin
He placed a hand on caine, a shit-eating grin on his face. The ai looked merely curious. Jax didn't have any plans for tonight, even if this situation wasn't anticipated, It's been brewing for quite awhile.
Caine processed how he wanted this to go, in his head. He liked the slow, intimate touches, he really did. But he wanted to calculate this perfectly. It was his job (self proclaimed) after all, to ensure Jax had a nice night.
Caine shifted slightly, moving behind jax, delicately moving him into the pillows. He ran a hand through the rabbit's fur, smoothing it back from his forehead, near to a pet.
Jax didn't protest, content to let the ai have his way. The rabbit was quite relaxed, It had been so long since he had been touched like this, he relished it.
Caine placed a hand on the small Jax's back, a warm sensation rushed through the rabbit, making his skin prickle.
`Are you alright, Hunny?` Caine questions the boy below him. He swore he saw a glare from Jax, and a positive mumble in response.
He ran his hand along Jax's spine, sliding his overalls off. The rabbits breath hiked at the sudden cold air on his exposed skin(& fur). It wasn't enough to be unpleasant, but it certainly was distracting.
Jax felt Caine press sharp nips to his shoulder blades, before moving onto his lower back. `Do you enjoy the attention, starlet?`
Jax didn't reply, giving a flustered grumble, muffled by the pillow he so desperately clung to.
Jax found himself unable to speak. His brain short circuited whenever caine did anything. He had no idea if the ai understood the effect such small touches had on him. Jax didn't like being vulnerable, then again, if felt nice to be taken care of like this.
The rabbit heard his partner unzip his trousers and hallelujah, Jax's heart leapt to his throat.
`I will prepare you now, that is, if you still wish to continue!` Caine declared, waiting for the rabbits go ahead.
Jax processes for a few seconds, then realized that caine probably expected permission. `Nah, it's fine.` his voice muffled from the pillow.
`Ah, my dear, I insist. I would not want to harm you in any way!` Still, he made no move without Jax's consent.
`It ain't my first time.` Jax murmurs.
`It's your first time since you've been here I assume!` Caine assured.
`Just f#@! me. Really? I think we're way past family friendly, Caine.` The rabbit snarked.
`If you say so, Dove.` Caine resigned, Licking a clear stripe up his palm, slicking himself up in precaution.
Caine eased into jax, he wanted to make sure he took extra care of the rabbit, his length scraping against his walls. Jax buried his head into the pillow, knuckles turning white from the grip he had on it, letting out low groans.
Caine didn't rush him, knowing that he needed to build up the pace for his partner. The ai thought Jax looked absolutely breathtaking like this, rushing was entirely out of the picture at this point.
Jax squirmed faintly, not sure if he wanted more or less, causing Caine to hold firm. `Calm down, starlet. I'll take very good care of you, if you need to stop, just say the word.`
Jax shook his head, he really didn't think he needed to stop. He sighed heavily, relaxing against the pillows, his ears flopped. `M' good.`
`Very well. But tell me if it hurts, I wouldn't want you hurt by anyone, least of all myself, my dearest.` Jax glared back at the ringmaster. oh my god, shut up. he thought.
The ai slid out of Jax, pressing back in fully, taking the rabbits breath away.
His legs were spread wide apart, giving more room for the ai, god, he felt like a slut right now. was that a good feeling? probably. `You okay?` Caine whispered.
Jax nodded weakly against the pillows, closing his eyes. `'nother second please.` Jax begged silently.
`Of course.` And he waited for the rabbits go ahead, wanting him to love every second of this.
Jax murmurs into the pillow. `Alright.`
Jax arched into caine, grinding against the ai, and it took every ounce of self control caine had not to pound the ever living life out of the rabbit. Caine moved in tandem with his partners actions.
he started rocking his pelvis against Jax's, rubbing him raw. The rabbit thought he fit so perfectly, hitting every little ridge and bump he had in him.
Jax's hands curled tightly into fists, grasping the pillow. Caine watched in amusement as Jax struggled to stay quiet, battling with himself to keep his breathing even. Although, clearly failing miserably.
Caine definitely wasn't fast with his thrusts, but they hit deep, with a lot more force than Jax anticipated at first. but God did that not make it better.
The ai reached lower, taking the rabbits length into his hand. Caine kept his strokes slow, not wanting jax to come undone completely, not yet. he wanted to draw this out.
Choked sobs came from Jax, moans rumbling deep within the rabbit's chest. Caine hated the way the pillow swallowed all of those sounds. he could feel the pulsing rhythm of his partner, the pressure that built as they progressed.
while maintaining the friction against the rabbits innards, caine clasped his hand over Jax's ears, pulling his head back. he was flush against the ringmasters chest. He could hear him now, the rough action evoking a strangled cry. One of pleasure nonetheless.
`Ah, what a beautiful tune, my dear.` Caine praised. Jax bit the inside of his cheek to try and stifle the noise, hips bucking up into Caine's hand. Although biting didn't work as well as having his head shoved in the pillow. He knew he'd be embarrassed after this, but he didn't need to think about that now. There was only one thought on his mind, and it was Caine.
He gripped the edge of the pillows in front of him, trying to ground himself as he felt the ai increase the pace.
Jax was so close, even more so after caine hit a particularly sensitive spot inside of him, a high pitched whine emitting from his throat. He wanted to last longer, but he couldn't help it. Not with caine rutting into him like this.
Jax's vision was blurring, his body trembling. He cried out loud, the bed rocking beneath them both.
The rabbits fingers were digging into the bedsheets, tears running down his cheeks. Every time caine reentered, Jax's walls fluttered around him.
The rabbit felt his legs weaken under the pressure, releasing ropes of cum onto the bedsheets below and spilling over in the ai's hand, his mouth open in a silent scream. He sobbed out, feeling his already raw insides being rocked into so harshly.
`I know, I know, I'm almost done.` Caine assured his partner, sympathetically. His breath ragged and uneven.
He nestled comfortably into jax, releasing his ears from his grasp, letting Jax's upper half bury himself back into the pillow. He stilled inside of his partner, only parting from the heat once he was entirely finished. The rabbit fell limp against the bedsheets. It felt wonderful, Jax hadn't enjoyed something like that in years.
Caine looked pleased with himself, enjoying the mess that he made of the rabbit. He stroked some of the unkempt fur.
A wave of exhaustion crashed over Jax as he settled, slow blinking at caine who decided to lay right beside him.
Jax, although drowsy and weak, shuffled close to caine, his head under Caine's. `Thank you.` Jax murmurs into the ai's chest. He felt like he should say that he loved him, but wouldn't that be too soon? oh, fuck it.
`I love you.` The words tumble out of Jax's mouth without preamble. Caine was charmed by those words, more than happy to reciprocate.
`I love you too, starlet.` He cooed back, feeling the rabbits weight resting against his own form. He would most definitely have things to clean up tomorrow, and he was sure Jax would complain about something. But that was okay, he didn't mind.
Jax let himself sink into sleep, feeling safer than he has in quite awhile.
