Victory Lap (for Ryuunosuke)

He actually…won. Gabriel won his first match, against someone much larger and stronger than he. Barely, sure; it was practically pure luck. But it was a victory, and it was more than he was expecting after the whirlwind that led to the match itself. He smiled to himself as he walked up the ramp and into the backstage. "Hey. Thanks for…well, such an amazing match, man," he found himself murmuring, looking up at Ryuunosuke who was leaning against him heavily. "I'm real sorry about your jaw. If you want, I can help you out with anything that hurts, back in the locker room." He sounded so genuine, so sweet.

And then Gabriel looked up, and saw them. The two people who accompanied Ryuunosuke to the match. He had no idea of their names, what their affiliation was -- he barely even knew if they were going to jump him or not. "Ah…hello!" he tried to greet them, as cheery as he could, though his hold on Ryuunosuke never faltered. "I was just uh…helping him to the locker room. It's the least I can do!"

They were gonna beat him up. He could almost feel it. A shame too, Ryuu seemed to be a really nice guy, in the few moments that he actually spoke. Still, he didn't loosen his grip, even if they approached the two of them. No, he was in doctor mode now.

Ryuu didn't feel like he particularly needed the help getting backstage after the match, it wasn't like he'd broken any limbs and the pain and swelling would be sure to go down after icing it for a few hours. Still, he could sense the guy was just trying to be nice, and it would have made him look like an asshole to refuse such a good-hearted gesture anyway. When thanked and apologized to about the match, he shook his head with a small groan as he opened his mouth to speak. "Workplace hazard" he said as he dismissed the man's concerns, "Don't worry about it, I'll be fine."

Ryuu looked up when Gabriel stopped suddenly, finding that Mitsuru and Hikaru were standing there waiting for him. As he looked from his teammates to Gabe, he sensed the man's hesitation, probably worried he was going to get jumped or something. He hadn't cheated at all so there really was no reason to worry, not that he would know that. He began to detach himself from Gabriel when Hikaru stepped forward, inserting himself roughly between Ryuu and Gabriel and taking over the support role as the redhead was pushed aside.

"We can take it from here, Mr. Montez" Mitsuru said cooly, one arm poised on her hip while the other rested comfortably at her side. Even just standing there casually she seemed to command respect and attention from those around here.

Hikaru grinned as he nudged Gabriel out of the equation and looped Ryuu's arm around his shoulder, glancing sideways at Gabe as they began to move away. "Yeah, we'll take it from here. You should prolly go take care of that stiffy" he barked with laughter, clearly meaning the tight bulge in the man's pants. This comment earned a dissatisfied pursing of the lips from Mitsuru and a smack in the back of his head from Ryuu, making Hikaru laugh it off as he dragged Ryuu towards the locker rooms.

As they began to leave, Ryuu turned back looking over his shoulder and acknowledged Gabriel with a head nod. Mitsuru waited till the men had passed her before suddenly extending a hand to the redhead. "You won, fair and square. No hard feelings." she declared, and would wait for him to accept the shake. Once completed, she would turn on a dime and her heels would clack against the pavement as she followed her teammates back into locker room.

TIME SKIPPU

Ryuu was now alone in the lockerroom, a chilled handtowel thrown over his head as he sat hunched over on a bench still in his ring attire. His change of clothes and phone sat in a duffel bag at his feet, and he seemed to be staring into the floor and beyond as he lost himself in his thoughts. His teammates were gone, sent home while he remained behind to sulk and wallow in another failed attempt at a singles career launch. He wasn't sure what was worse, ending in a draw to a man his equal or getting his ass handed to him by a skinny redhead half his size. What would they say about him on the net and elsewhere?

He gritted his teeth as he agonized over that which he had no control over. It wasn't like he particularly cared if his own reputation had been stained. The ambition for a solo career was really only following in Mitsuru and Hikaru's footsteps, what he was more concerned about was holding them back as part of the team. How could anyone take S.E.M.E. seriously if their biggest and toughest member couldn't win anything by himself? He closed his eyes and tried to let the tension drain from his frame. He knew it was pointless to worry about this. He ought to just get his shit together, head home, and call it a night. Put all this stupid worry and anxiety towards training for the future. For next time. If there was a next time....

Gabriel wasn't sure what to do with the other members of SEME as they showed up. He could just feel himself tensing, ready for another fight -- but Hikaru just shoved himself in between Gabriel and Ryuu and took over the position as support, making Gabriel stumble back for a moment. He looked up, opening his mouth to say something, but Mitsuru cut him off with her authoritative voice and presence. He cleared his throat instead, pursing his lips and numbly nodding his head in response to what she had to say. They were his friends. They should take care of him. Gabriel had…other things in mind for him, but perhaps it wasn't particularly appropriate.

As if on cue, Hikaru drew attention to the hardened cock in his pants, making him fluster and look away. What was with this group and their attractive team members? He cleared his throat and mumbled a "thanks" to Hikaru as he was nudged out of the way. He managed to see Hikaru get hit in the head by Ryuu which was amusing enough, but it was the nod from Ryuu that kept him from saying or doing anything else about it. Mitsuru remained, however, making him feel all the more awkward He wanted to say something to her, but what did he even say? Thanks? He just stood there for a moment, looking at her awkwardly -- before she stuck a hand out. "A-ah…thanks. No hard feelings." He gave her a small smile, taking her hand and shaking it in response. And when she left, there was nothing left to do.

Why hadn't he gone into the locker room yet? Simple. He didn't want to run into SEME. With how terse things were, he found himself grabbing a pair of pants and just taking a nice job outside to work off the excess excitement and in hopes of getting rid of the "stiffy", as Hikaru put it. Sure, he was exhausted -- but if he didn't push himself past his limits, then what was the point? So it was like this, sweat glistening on his body, that he walked into the locker room and saw Ryuu by himself. The rest of those people were gone, it was just the two of them. "Oh. Uh. Hi." It was as if his cock remembered and stirred to life just at the sight of Ryuu sitting there in his ring attire. He moved forward, offering out a hand. "Thanks again for such an amazing match."

Of course, if and when Ryuu took his hand to shake it, he wouldn't be able to hold himself back. He pushed himself in and pressed his lips against the stronger man, giving him a soft kiss that hinted at a want for more of the other man, as if he were holding himself back from…well, from pushing Ryuu over and having his way with him. He tugged away suddenly, looking at him. "Mh. Sorry. I was thinking about that for a while."

Ryuu didn't look up when someone else entered the locker room, other wrestlers would be coming in and out all night. He sat in his corner of the room and rifled through his bag, taking his sweet, sweet time to decide what to wear. He was drawn from his thoughts by approaching footsteps, looking up past the lip of his chilled towel to see his opponent from earlier. His face was flushed, Ryuu guessed he had probably just gone for a run considering the outfit. Strange choice following a match, but whatever. He stood and extended his own hand, shaking with a strong grip and nodding along. "Thanks, you earned it" he said gruffly.

However, what happened next was beyond his wildest expectations. Gabriel drew him downwards into a kiss, pushing himself in against him tightly and yet still only rubbing his lips softly. Ryuu held on to Gabriel's hand, not letting the man tug away while the towel fell free from his head. His eyes were narrowed, looking for an explanation before he was going to free him. He watched Gabriel's face as he apologized, blinking a few times without changing his expression. He'd then step away from straddling the bench and push Gabriel into the lockers, forearm resting against the metal above the redhead's head and his other hand still holding on from the shake, eyes locked together intensely and scrutinizing Gabriel's own.

His eyes flickered over Gabriel's body and back to his face, leaning down slowly as he towered over the man. He parted his lips but didn't make a move, instead releasing the man's hand from the shake so that he could grip his waist, thumb gliding over his hip bone and dipping just a bit beneath the hem line of his pants. He turned his head to the side slightly as he looked at Gabriel's lips hungrily, but still waited, as if looking for permission, for confirmation that he was really interested in going beyond a simple kiss and just teasing him.

Gabriel could swear the next few moments went simultaneously in slow motion, and in fast forward. One moment, he was kissing Ryuu. The next, Ryuu had his hand and wouldn't let it go, while looking at him as if he had slapped him. Then he was pushed up against the lockers, that arm above his head, lips a few inches apart, with those lips open ever so slightly and his strong hand moving along his hips, down into his pants, where Ryuu would be able to feel those speedos that Gabriel wore during the match. But he didn't move forward to close the gap. Was he…looking for permission? Gabriel couldn't help but smile to himself.

"I guess you liked that?" he murmured to Ryuu, reaching up to touch the man's face. "'Cause if that's what you like, I've got a whole bunch of ideas to…thank you for such an amazing match." With that, he surged forward, pressing himself up against Ryuu as he mashed their lips together in a deep, rough kiss, cupping his cheek lightly as he leaned up on his toes and tugged him down. He would move a bit, trying to push Ryuu back and turn them around so it was the larger man who was flush up against the lockers, without breaking the kiss.

Ryuu said nothing as Gabriel reached up to touch his face, still gazing intensely into the man's eyes and peeking down at his lips. He was interested in getting his unasked question answered, and it soon was as the redhead surged forward to kiss him again. He could feel the redhead standing on the tips of his toes, leaning into his larger frame as their lips mashed together, roughly climbing over and around each other in a messy frenzy. He groaned slightly as the extra jaw work tingled with pain, but he'd push that sensation to the side in favor of the ones his lips and hands were feeling right now.

He felt no need to answer the man verbally, Ryuu was much more the kind of guy to let his actions speak for him. He even let Gabriel take the lead, flipping their positions so he was the one pinned against the lockers. Both of his hands trailed down Gabriel's back and into the lip of his pants, feeling up the tight fabric of the speedo in his palms as he squeezed his ass. His hands massaged the tight, bubbly ass back and forth, squeezing and dragging his fingers up before letting it snap back into place while he tugged the jogging pants down. He craned his neck down as far as he could comfortably go to allow Gabriel an easier time of it as well. And when that wasn't enough, he'd slide his hands down to the back of Gabriel's thighs and hoist him up, easily managing the weight and allowing the redhead to attack from a higher position as well. Ryuu's growing bulge brushed against Gabriel's balls and the rest of his ass as he groaned again, though this time of pleasure. Funnily enough, it sounded quite similar to the groans he had in the ring.

Gabriel wasn't expecting such a feverous response to his kiss. He could feel Ryuu's hands working into his pants and down, squeezing his pert ass, causing the man to press up against Ryuu with a soft groan of his own. He even wiggled his hips against Ryuu's as he tried to pull those pants down, revealing his already hardening cock against the tight spandex of the speedo, giving him a small grin against his lips -- but not daring to pull away, no sir. It was as if he thought, when he stopped kissing Ryuu, the other man would just stop what he was doing. But this was real, and Gabriel had a hard time thinking it through.

When Ryuu lifted him up, Gabriel finally broke the kiss. "Be careful! I did just hurt you in a match!" he scolded, before he reclaimed those lips and kissed him again. Honestly, having been picked up was just…beyond sexy to Gabriel, who had never been with someone so physically strong before. The kiss confirmed that he was even more turned on, somehow, and he even tried to share the love by grinding up against his crotch, letting his legs wrap around Ryuu's waist and pull himself even closer. His own cock began to rub up against Ryuu's abs, frotting up against the cut muscle.

Ryuu let out a breathy chuckle as Gabriel scolded him about being careful, was he still trying to be cute and act concerned? The redhead seemed to catch on to his idea and wrapped his legs around Ryuu's waist, taking some of the burden of holding him up onto himself. With every exhale he could feel the man grinding his hard-on against the tightly cut ridges of his abs, in turn causing him to flex his chest to give him an even harder surface to play with. Right now he didn't care if someone walked in on them, having sex after a rough match was hardly a new thing to him; he'd even fooled around with Hikaru once or twice when the other man got frisky.

Ryuu's hands grew bolder and dipped below the speedo now to cup the skin directly in his rough hands, kneading the muscle like it were dough. Ryuu was definitely an ass-man, no doubt about that. Ryuu broke the kiss first for air, but rather than pant and pause the action, he simply continued elsewhere. He angled his head lower to lick slowly at Gabe's collarbone, drawing a line from his throat over to his shoulder where his teeth would dig gently into the skin. He didn't dare press hard enough to make a mark, not when he was so sure this was just a simple after-match fuck.

He carried the redhead away from the lockers and fumbled over to the bench, keeping one arm round his lower back for support while the other fumbled with his belt buckle. He also made sure that his partner wasn't going to be bored by trailing his mouth further downwards, kissing a line towards his pecs and teasingly approaching the nipple.

Gabriel was always a concerned party when it came to people he bestowed his affections on -- which turned out to be quite a lot of people. He couldn't help himself. Even as Ryuu chuckled and he grinned lightly, he still leaned over to hit his shoulder lightly, yet still scolding him properly. Though he didn't think about it for much longer, what with the hand that was beginning to slip into his pants and knead into his ass. Ryuu really appeared to like his ass, which was good to know; next time, he'd make a bigger show of it before practically tackling him down for sex.

He groaned as Ryuu began to dig his teeth in, though he didn't press hard enough to leave a mark. Gabriel gave a soft, breathless whine as he pressed against him more, digging his face into Ryuu's neck as he began to moan out softly, especially when Ryuu began to kiss along his chest, towards his nipple. He would have reached down to help him with his pants, but Ryuu seemed to want to take care of it himself, since he was so focused on giving him more attention. He moaned out a bit louder, not giving a shit who heard him. His hand went through the larger man's hair and combed it back as he closed his eyes tight.

"Nnn…fuck me…" Gabriel managed to hiss out, bucking his hips up against the man's chest, grabbing onto his hair tight. "Or put me down and I'll do it myself…" He wanted this. There would be no arguing that.

Ryuu pulled back breathlessly when Gabriel spoke up again and tugged on his hair, looking up at him with eyes half-lidded. There certainly was no mystery about his intentions now. He paused for just a moment, briefly entertaining the thought that they might get caught, before deciding 'nah, screw it' and just plowing on ahead. He gently pushed Gabriel off of him so that he could fully escape from his pants, letting his manhood flop to full attention in front of him.

He'd then focus his attention on Gabriel, slipping his thumbs onto the sides of his speedo and dragging it down so that Gabe jr. could finally spring free from his fabric prison. Ryuu would lean forward and give it a few teasing strokes before taking it into his mouth for a bit, bobbing up and down and lavishing the shaft with plenty of attention. After working for a few moments he'd pull back with a wet pop and a smirk. He'd then sit back, spreading his legs apart a bit and leaning on his haunches as he looked at Gabriel. He said he would do the next part himself, after all.
