Nobody tops me



top or bottom | a high-concept, highbrow meme



don't front. you know exactly what this is.

the rundown
1. for numerous, cosmically complex reasons that form a domino effect — or just because it's fucking hilarious — an unknown force has compelled your character to admit if they're top or a bottom. some will try to lie and immediately be corrected (humiliation is probable). others will be honest. all will be revealed.
2. others express their interest, disinterest, shock, awkward downward spiral. have a casual conversation. hook up! live, laugh, love!
3. if you leave a blank top comment i will literally come piss on your computer.
4. switches are important and valid.

Top.

[This is said confidently, no wavering from him.]

Huh. Guess there's nothing wrong with knowing what you like.

You live long enough, you figure things out.

[ Oh man, he dislikes being stared at like that. It makes him uncomfortable, jaw clenching, throat tightening. That goddamn compulsion, though, pushes through him demandingly enough. ]

I'm whatever people need me to be. [ It's not really switching, is it? But it's not a strictly top-bottom thing, either. Not that he really has the vocabulary to go putting that kind of an explanation on it. ] And I've lived long enough to figure it out.

[Ikaris doesn't have telepathy or anything, but he knows the soldier is uncomfortable.]

Sounds like a useful skill. One others must appreciate at the least.
ass_ass_in: (bucky: hold me back)

[personal profile] ass_ass_in 2022-06-19 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Useful for all the people who've taken advantage of it already. It's been a while since I let myself... Since I was vulnerable, like that. Hard to find people to trust.

[ He dips his head, somewhat submissively. The push from the compulsion is a reminder of how much he craves that surrender, how it pulls at him. It's that feeling, more than anything, that sets his teeth on edge. ]

I... Miss it. It's peaceful, becoming what people want me to be. A good little soldier. [ He could turn those skills in whichever direction they were needed, motivate people who needed an extra push, or surrender wholesale to those who craved dominion, but it was submission either way, even when he was the one taking the reins. ]

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-06-20 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Ikaris listened, and sympathized for the human. Bucky had had a particularly rough life; controlled, no free will, used to fight those he loved and cared for...

A good little soldier

That phrase pierced his soul - or whatever was the equivalent to a soul for him and the others anyway. He even shifts, arms that had been folded, fall to his sides as sympathy becomes empathy.]


It's not peaceful at all. It's cold. Violent. A poison that no medicine can cleanse.

[For a moment, he's torn between a desire to punch the soldier, or hug him; his eyes revealing the intense emotions that Bucky's managed to stir awake.]

[ He knows he has to be careful, that Ikaris is genuinely powerful, and that if he touches a nerve there wouldn't be a damn thing he could do about it. That's why he's watching as closely as he is, following the flickers in his expression, the open shifting of his body as he responds to the words. The understanding there, that forms itself into words of experience. He knows.

Bucky's expression softens, just a little, from that sharp and watchful stare, and he lets his head tip forward ever so slightly, almost a nod of agreement.
]

You're right. It's all those things as well. The things they did to me. But the things I choose to let others do to me are still my choice, and it takes away a little of the noise. Nobody ever takes anything from me permanently, but for an hour or two, there's a little less in my head. Less... Guilt. Less horror. Responsibility. Less of exactly what you're feeling right now.
eternal_ikaris: (Guilt Shame)

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-06-21 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[He had that. Sersi. When he was with her, he could forget he was the soldier. He could just be Ikaris, and nothing else mattered. The glimmer of anger fades.]

I think I understand. There's a freedom to it. Letting go.
ass_ass_in: (bucky: flashbacks)

[personal profile] ass_ass_in 2022-06-21 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. It's good.

[ His eyelashes flicker, meeting Ikaris' gaze again, ever so briefly. ]

But you wouldn't be tempted? To let somebody else take control like that? I can understand that, too.
eternal_ikaris: (Happiness)

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-06-22 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He'd been so certain before. But Bucky had given him a new perspective on it. Thinking it over, he faintly smirks.]

I don't know. I've never really given it much thought before. I suppose, I could consider it, for the right person.
ass_ass_in: (bucky: avenger)

[personal profile] ass_ass_in 2022-06-22 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He cocks his head to one side, curious as to what's behind that expression. ]

And what does the right person look like?
eternal_ikaris: (Amusement)

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-06-23 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
I, have no idea.

[It's all new to him, he's processing it the same time as Bucky is.]

You seem awfully interested in my answer though James.
ass_ass_in: (bucky: curious)

[personal profile] ass_ass_in 2022-06-23 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
I am. Interested.

[ He rocks from one foot to the other, very subtly, trying to gather just a little courage so that he can step forward, and again. ]

Are you?
eternal_ikaris: (Contentment Wink)

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-06-27 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He grins, and blushes.]

I'm honestly not sure what's more exciting; how nervous you're behaving, or how much you're apparently wanting to top me right now. [Grin intensifying to a full on smile.]
ass_ass_in: (bucky: hardworking)

[personal profile] ass_ass_in 2022-06-27 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, that's definitely a look, and an unexpected one at that. It makes Bucky a little braver, though, and when he steps forward he reaches up and puts his hand around Ikaris' jaw, feeling the movement underneath, the smile. He's willing to give it a try, after all life is short. Why not throw himself into the teeth of the wolves now and again? ]

Mm-mm, [ He said, shaking his head in negative. ] My turn first. You have to relinquish your power, at least act like it. I may not be stronger than you, but if I push you go. Clear?

[ Counterintuitive to his instructions, he tries to pull Ikaris a step toward him with the hand on his jaw instead, close the small distance between them so Bucky could press their mouths together. ]
eternal_ikaris: (Amusement)

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-07-03 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ikaris could tell Bucky was nervous, and he was going to ease the other man's fears ...but, witnessing him willing to face those fears, to act on his desire, for him - it was uniquely exciting. So, he held his tongue, for now.]

Very well. [There are some things he can't control, his durability is just part of who and what he is. His strength? He can limit himself; he had to, the world was too fragile for him not to do so.

So as Bucky's hand pulls him forward, he has to not only restrain his super strength, but also his usual inclination to take the lead. Bucky brought their mouths together. He did kiss the soldier, but reminded himself to hold back, reciprocate but let the other man provide momentum, guidance, control.]
ass_ass_in: (bucky: intense)

[personal profile] ass_ass_in 2022-07-05 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's pleasantly surprised by how willing Ikaris was to dip into this, to test it out, and while usually Bucky's on the other end of this kind of want, there's a part of that need that's satisfied in providing exactly the same thing to someone else when they ask him to. If he mirrors his actions with his desires, he knows he can make this good, and so the pleasant surprise when Ikaris obeys the pull to his jaw expands at once to arousal, satisfaction, as they press together into a slow, commanding kiss.

Ikaris even relinquishes control of the kiss itself, which is a nice touch, because Bucky bites at his lips briefly to make his point. There's no chance he can bite through his skin, he's strong, but it's a gesture more than anything else, just as the hand from his jaw slipping to his throat is a gesture, curling in with his palm pressed tight, his thumb pressed up tight under the line of his jaw just where the corotid ought to be thundering.

I push you go was what Bucky had said, and so even as the kiss continues, he pushes. He knows the way. Guide him backward six steps this way, through a door on the right, another three steps, and the bed would come up to meet the back of his knees, all while Bucky eased the kiss into something easier, a little breathier, allowing him to get a word in edgewise.
]

Kick off your shoes.
eternal_ikaris: (Excitement)

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-07-06 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Smiling as Bucky bites on his lip, he's already glad he decided to give this a go. The initial push was unsuccessful, as Ikaris misunderstood and thought he was merely wanting to be closer, but fortunately he picked up on it with the follow-up attempt. One step back, then another; with Bucky taking the lead, Ikaris joined in the dance, a barefoot one it would seem as his shoes came off and they began moving again. One, two, three, one, two three, turn, one, two, three - the dance ended as the back of the Eternal's knees touched the bed. He almost caught himself. Let go he reminded himself; controlling his abilities, while simultaneously giving the reins as it were to the other man. It was exhilarating, so he smiled as he fell backwards onto the bed, looking up and finding himself immensely eagerly curious to see what might happen next.]
ass_ass_in: (bucky: strong)

[personal profile] ass_ass_in 2022-07-06 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It takes him a moment to adjust, but Bucky feels it when he gives way, beginning to understand the process, walking backwards under Bucky's gentle demands. He toes his own shoes off as well, leaving them to no doubt trip over if he has to make a quick exit, his socked feet following right up until the point where Ikaris gives way and tumbles down onto the bed.

The smile, offered with something like warm curiosity, is as much welcomed as it is a challenge in its own right. This is a good start, but getting him to the point where the emptiness of surrender feels that kind of beautiful that Bucky's explained it to be? It's a huge ask. He puts a knee down on the bed, streches out to place his palm in the middle of Ikaris' chest, and guides him down to lay flat. He needs to limit some of those super senses. Eternal or not, he still needs his eyes to see. So a blindfold is going to be the first port of call, here.
]

Close your eyes. Don't open them unless I give you permission to do so.
eternal_ikaris: (Amusement)

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-07-15 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's getting the hang of it; his eyes close almost instantaneously.]

Should I be worried?

[He's not, and the question was meant as a joke. But, he's also only ever been with one person before,, and while passionate, the entire thing was very different than this. The Eternal waits, his curiosity only growing stronger as he lays against the bed with the soldier over him.]
ass_ass_in: (bucky: halftone)

[personal profile] ass_ass_in 2022-07-19 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Should you? Mmm... No. Not of me. Of yourself, maybe? You might actually find you enjoy this.

[ It's a much better reaction than he could have hoped for, how quick and obedient the man is, once asked. Considering the wealth of difference between their places in the world, that much surprises him. There's no beligerence at all, and Bucky can appreciate that, moving to dismantle one of the cushions, taking the cover off and ripping it into several different strips. It had probably been expensive, thick brocade and dark silk, but it comes apart easily into strips, which Bucky layers, presses across Ikaris' eyes, and then carefully ties in place against the back of his head.

His cool metal fingers press in against his chin a moment later, pressing up to tilt his head so that Bucky can brush his lips gently against Ikaris' own.
]

You don't have x-ray vision or something, right? If not, I guess you can open your eyes. Whatever makes you more comfortable.
eternal_ikaris: (Happiness)

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-07-20 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. [He smirks, enjoying himself as Bucky blindfolds him. He does open his eyes.] No. No X-ray vision for me.

[Instinctively, he reaches out, his hands meeting Bucky's left arm and chest in their search.] It's funny, I've never been blindfolded before. [Despite his extremely long lifespan, there were still plenty of firsts for the Eternal to experience; and he didn't just experience them, but did so with a youthful joy about him.]

No tickling. [His seeming bliss paused ever so briefly to make that declaration. Of course, all that did was strongly imply that the hero was ticklish, should the soldier take the risk in disobeying that demand.]
ass_ass_in: (bucky: bike silhouette)

[personal profile] ass_ass_in 2022-07-22 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? I'd say that surprises me, but...honestly the only times anyone's ever blindfolded me, the outcomes were not so great. Let's just say tickling wasn't the biggest concern I had at the time.

[ There's amusement, though, despite the grim topic. He finds it easier to make light of it than talk about it seriously. Serious talk is always a downer, but this isn't. This is Bucky settling in to take a little more out of that kiss as Ikaris' hands come up to his chest. Having such a powerful creature at even one small disadvantage is a power trip, but knowing its his first time? There's something glorious about that, especially the way Ikaris responds with such joy to the novel situation.

As he breaks the kiss, Bucky brings his hands up to Ikaris' chest, slowly beginning to undress him from top to bottom.
]

Where are you ticklish? I can't avoid those places if you don't tell me. [ Hah. Avoid. ]
eternal_ikaris: (Excitement)

[personal profile] eternal_ikaris 2022-07-31 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Ikaris is glad he's blindfolded then, so that Bucky can't see the guilt in his eyes. Like all of Earth's great atrocities, the Eternals were aware of HYDRA and the Winter Soldier; though even they hadn't pieced together that it was Bucky Barnes behind the mask - it was a human affair and they weren't to meddle in such things.

Luckily, the topic took a quick turn as Bucky's hands begin working on his clothing. Again, despite his age, the Eternal has a naivety to him and falls for it.]


Oh, well, in general, but my feet, armpits, my neck... [He grinned as his upper body was stripped of clothing entirely, then felt Bucky's hands move down towards his pants next.]
