Chapter Seventeen

On the far side of the island, there was a sandpit. Massive in size as it had been dug out from years of giant, monstrous bugs digging deep into the earth to make their home. The Selkies themselves were certain the actually bottom of the pit was below sea level. But only the dead knew for sure. The dead and the Antlions that lived there.
As the four stood on the edge of the rocks, Keiss toyed with Clockworks detonator. He had made it a point to search out and take any of the bombs he could find. Perhaps they would prove useful for this.
"Okay, so here's the plan…" The Selkie male pointed to a lower ledge along the wall of the pit. "Layle and I will head over there. Nadeen, I want you to toss in a bomb and bring one of those monsters up to the surface. Then use what's left to herd it over to where Layle and I are-"
"Question: Are you mad? The ledge is low enough for it to get you."
"We will be fine. Right, Layle."
"Don't worry about a thing."
"Once its dead, We'll use Layle's powers to keep it up on the ledge and cut off the jaw. While we're cutting, bring the birds over and lower some ropes. You haul the jaw out, then we climb out. And we all go home. Okay?"
The female Selkie nodded. She didn't like the idea entirely, but at the same time what could she do? The only other option was to go into the pit, and that meant possibly fighting more than one Antlion. So she watched as the boys made their way around the lip of the pit and started to climb down to the ledge. She kept the detonator in her hands and squeezed it nervously. Nadeen was so busy watching them, she forgot to keep an eye on the squirming Clockwork.
As Keiss landed on the ledge he looked over the side to the sand below. "Don't fall in, okay, Crystal Bearer?"
"Me? Last time I checked you're the one who 'falls into' things all the time." Keiss rolled his eyes as Layle taunted him. The red head raised his hand and signaled for Nadeen to toss in an explosive. The boys watched as the Selkie female chucked one into the sand, and a few minutes alter it exploded. Instantly they felt a rumbling and heard the faint sound of something roaring under the surface.
Both Layle and Keiss backed up in case the creature came up near them already. They watched as the sand rapidly sunk inward and a set of jaws twice the size of a human became visible. They were followed by a gaping mouth of teeth, a head, and large body. The creature's arms pulled it along and is lower half remained hidden. It circled the area of the explosion and Nadeen tossed in another bomb. As Keiss had hoped when it went off, the monster turned to head the opposite direction and escape the blast.
"All right, Layle! Grab and reel it in! Don't let it breathe on you though!"
"Trust me, I know!" The Crystal Bearer extended his arm and took hold of the giant monsters arm. As he pulled, it roared. It didn't take much to get it to turn and of its own free will it started to charge the wall as soon as it saw them. Keiss took out his daggers and stood locked in place. As soon as the monster got close enough he let two daggers fly from his hand and they stabbed it one of its eyes. The Antlion roared and rushed his position. The Selkie rolled to the side as the monster head butted the wall, causing the whole ledge to shake.
Layle grabbed its jaw and yanked it to the side, pulling the monster's attention toward him. It roared and swung its jaws at him trying to knock him off the side. Instead its mouth scrapped the jagged rocks and from behind Keiss impaled his sword on its neck. The Antlion reared up and roared again. As its head lilted back Layle grabbed one a piece of the broken rock wall and launched it at its throat.
Again and again he tossed boulders at the creature, cutting into its neck. The Antlion pulled back and sank into the sand still growling angrily. Layle and Keiss looked at each other before looking over the edge.
"What? Did it give up?" Just as the Crystal Bearer asked the ground shook and the Antlion reemerged, bringing more of its body out of the sand. It came crashing down onto the ledge they were standing on. As gravity pulled the monster back down its legs jabbed and dragged on the rock, and its underbelly caused the ledge to crack and crumble beneath their feet.
Keiss let out a shout as the ground started to give way, but he felt his body start to float down instead of flat out falling. It was still a fast descent so colliding with the sand still hurt like hell. As he picked himself up the sun was suddenly blocked out by a large shadow. The Selkie looked up to see the Antlion's face looking over head. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife. Just as it was coming down to stab him with its jaw he tossed upward, connecting to its other eye. It threw off the monster's aim and Keiss rolled to the side.
Instead of being stabbed, he found himself trapped between the two jaws. The blinded Antlion roared at him before it started to take in a deep breath of air. Keiss knew what was coming, but where to go? The creature had him pinned. Just as it was about to exhale, the monster stopped and reared its head back, crying out. Not taking the time to wonder about why, he rolled to the side and ran along the wall. Looking back over his shoulder he saw Layle on the monster's back, twisting his sword in.
With a few more jerks and twist the Antlion's roars began to die down into long painful cries before it fell over, smashing its face into the wall. It didn't get back up.
Layle stood on the monster's back wiping the sweat from his forehead. Keiss came around and cheered. "Nice work, Crystal Bearer!"
Layle smirked, "I told you, it's always you who falls in…" The Clavat pulled out the sword and slid down the side of the giant bug. With Keiss cutting and Layle jerking using his powers, they had the jaw of the creature off in no time. Nadeen had come around and lowered two ropes for them to tie the jaw onto. As it was pulled up, the two leaned on the wall of the pit.
"This…this I do believe has been our best mission yet."
"Let's see…Got the monster part. Got Clockwork. Got head…Yep I agree." Layle reached out and punched Kiess' arm. "Ow! It was a joke."
"We should leave you down here…" The Crystal Bearer looked up to the ledge as they waited for their ropes to be lowered down. He could see Clockwork standing on the edge, her hands behind her back. Layle still wanted to question her about what she knew on the Doctor's research and the Lieutenant's plans. But he supposed he'd have the entire trip back to Leuda to interrogate her. He was certain she was staring down right at him, though she could just be looking at the dead Antlion. As he watched her she pulled her hands out from behind her back and reached into her pockets.
"Uh…Keiss…"
"Yeah?"
"We did tie up Clockwork," He pushed off the wall and watched as she pulled something out of her pocket, "And took her detonator…right?"
Keiss looked up and also took a few steps forward. "Nadeen!"He screamed at the Selkie girl, "Get her!"
The three looked on as Clockwork said something, though none of them heard what it was. But as she pushed the button in her hands there was another explosion. The entire pit shook and the sound of rock being blown away could be heard. She then took off running. Nadeen screamed as she realized the sand below the boys were standing on was moving.
The Lilty had blown out the outer edge of the pit's wall. Which was right against the ocean. The sand was slowly spilling out into the sea.
Keiss and Layle grabbed onto the rock face trying to climb up, but the sand dragged their feet away from the wall. Their guide tossed a rope down to them but the sand was carrying them further and further away. Keiss struggled against the tide reaching for the rope, he felt like he was so close, but at the same time it seemed just out of reach. Layle was behind him, using his powers to propel the Selkie forward until the red head was pushed into the wall and able to grab hold of the rope.
He then turned around and stretched out his arm to Layle. "Come on! Come on!" The Clavat used his powers to hook onto his partner and yanked himself forward a few feet at a time until he was able to take hold of the Selkie's hand. As soon as Keiss pulled him to the rope, it started to move. Nadeen had ordered the Chocobo holding it to back up and pull them out of the draining pit.
By the time they were back on the rocky ledge, half the sand was gone from the Antlion pit, exposing dozens of eggs and a few baby monsters roaming around. The hole in the wall was not big enough for the entire thing to empty. Nadeen pat Keiss on the back smiling at him. While the Selkie turned to his partner and shrugged.
"Okay…so we lost Clockwork…two out of three ain't bad."
Layle sighed and leaned back on his hands, "Speak for yourself."

The ride back was long, but it flew by. Probably because Layle was tired and spent most of it half asleep on his Chocobo. When they did reach Leuda, it was about midnight, but the town was still bustling. Layle could not figure out when Selkie's slept. It was left up to him to put the birds away while Keiss loaded the jaw up in the airship. Much to his relief the Chocobos were tired too, so there was no pecking or attempts to scratch him involved.
As he got the last saddle of the birds, Layle could overhear Keiss and Nadeen talking just outside the stable out of site. He set the pack down and edged over to the wall to listen.
"I really was worried you were going to die back there…Your father would kill me if I had to write that in my report."
"…Nah…You'd probably get a reward-"
"Keiss!"
"What?"
"... …You really should go home. Layle is right, three years is a long time."
"Why? Nothing has changed. We're just going to fight and he's just going to slug me. I think I will stay away thanks."
"Keiss…" Layle could hear the Selkie walking his way and he started to move back. "Keiss he's dead!"
The Selkie stopped walking and turned around. "W-what!" What did you say!" Layle almost moved out of the stable. His partner sounded absolutely distressed. "What! When! How!"
"… He's not dead, Keiss…"
"…Nadeen…Nadeen you bitch-"
"But is that what you want to hear! You're just going to stay away forever! One day you will! You'll hear it! Someone will tell you he's dead! Is that when you will go home! Is that when you will want to settle your stupid feud! Go the fuck home, you arrogant brat!"
"Nadeen…so help me…I have never wanted to hit a woman before, but I am this close to making good on my death threats to you! Get lost!"
There was a moment of silence before Layle could hear Nadeen walking away. He moved toward the door and put his hands on the gate just as Keiss did. The Selkie stopped and stared at him, his eyes asking him how long was just going to stand there and listen? After a few minutes, he backed away from the door and took off without a word.
It was a long walk to the hotel.

Showers are good. They are great for getting rid of sand. Lots of sand. And that feeling of you just had a shitty day. Layle was totally content to stay in the shower forever, especially since Keiss face planted on the bed and did not move when spoken too. However he knew the hot water would run out eventually.
"Maybe what Nadeen said got to him…" The Clavat ran his fingers through his hair still certain he could see sand coming out. "…Just what the hell is the deal with-" Just as he was talking to himself the door on the shower suddenly opened up and Layle turned his head. "Keiss! What is it with you and lack of personal space!"
The Selkie frowned, "You are taking forever and I am pretty sure there are sand mites in my hair. Get out."
"Knocking. Have you heard of it? People tend to knock on doors that are closed. Like say…the bathroom door, or the shower door even." The Selkie slammed the door shut, proceeded to knock and then opened it again.
"Get out. I want the shower." Layle raised his hand and slammed it close with is powers. Keiss yelled at him and continued to bang on it. "Damnit, Layle! That's cheating!" He took a step back and grumbled before walking over to the sink and turning on the water. And the flushing the toilet and listening to his partner shout at the temperature drop. The door opened again and Layle glared at him.
"I could kill you."
"You could. But you won't. Murdering me in a Selkie town will not go over well." The red head walked over and leaned on the shower wall and smiled. "Besides, you look good like that."
"Just shut up and get in the shower."

Showers are good. The loud sound of water running was pretty good at blocking out the sounds of things that are not shower related. Which Layle knew was going to happen, as there was no way any sort of an actual 'shower' was going to take place once Keiss was in there with him. That's just how it was. He had already picked up on the fact that the Selkie's need to 'unwind' was directly related to how much he was not talking.
And he had probably said three paragraphs over two days. Two of which were full of insults and anger.
So being pinned to the wall within thirty seconds of Keiss getting in was expected. He could fight him for control again, but why? It was just going to agitate him more if he didn't get his way. And it wasn't entirely bad for him if Keiss did get his way.
The Selkie held onto his shoulders as he kissed him and sandwiched his body between the tile and his own. On one hand he knew this was too easy for Layle to just give up, and on the other he didn't care. He bit down on his partners lip and let his hands move from his arms to his sides. As he ran them up and down the Clavat's body he felt him raise his arms and wrap his hands around his hips. Keiss slightly pulled Layle off the wall pulled their hips together, closing the gap between them and pressing the lower half of their bodies to one another. Pressing skin against skin and brushing his erection over his partner's.
He could hear Layle let out a gasp, and for a moment he thought about all the things his partner did to him at the oasis. He determined the only fair thing to do was to make the Clavat cry out louder than he had. He pressed their lips together again and rolled his hips forward, grinding them together. With each movement his fingers squeezed his partner's hips a little bit harder until he was certain he trying to crack the edges of his bones. And he felt the Clavat's own hands respond by the squeezing his ass and pulling them closer together.
Keiss continued to move as he kissed Layle a little bit lighter on the lips, "Layle—hmn…Layle!"
"W-what?" The Crystal Bearer rolled his head to the side trying to breathe, the Selkie responded by biting his ear.
"You're not resisting…Just…making sure."
Layle chuckled and turned his head to Keiss. He ran his hand through his partner's wet hair and smirked at him, "If you aren't ready, I can take charge." Keiss' only response was to kiss him so hard, he pushed his head back against the tile.

Showers are good. The shower head, while being in a great position to douse you with water to remove anything unpleasant, like say sand, is also a great hold to grab onto. Especially if you need to hold onto something to keep from falling. They're usually mounted pretty well onto the wall, and so long as you remember to hold tight with one hand and put your other on the wall, it's a good grip.
Which Layle needed.
Hang on or you'll fall. Hang on or you'll fall. Hang on. Or you'll fall. That was the message his brain kept sending to his hands. It was repeating itself, on loop, with every thrust forward the Selkie took. And despite how simple and obvious a message it was, he wanted to let go. He didn't want to hang on to the wall, he wanted to hang on to Keiss. His partner, the person sending chills up his spine with every second. Though that was impossible. He was facing the wall; hanging onto it while the red head moved behind him. Every movement, every thrust every time he struck inside him he wanted to let go and hang onto Keiss. Grab him. Claw at him. Kiss him. He was certain he was shouting at him, shouting something, because the Selkie was talking to him, telling him to 'relax'.
The bastard.
He was never going to let him turn around. That would be giving up too much control. And the Clavat knew, in between thrust and repetition and feeling bliss, he knew everything came down to control with Keiss. And right now, Keiss was in control. Layle had to lean forward; his head slightly bumped the wall in front of him; he let go for moment. But it was getting harder to hang on. Keiss was moving faster now, and his hands were on him, jerking him off in time with his movements.
Hang on.
He could feel Keiss lean over and rest on his back, licking and biting at his ear. The extra weight was unwelcome, but the angle it put the Selkie at only made his body come alive more. He couldn't help but groan. It felt good.
Or you'll fall.
"Keiss!" He lifted his head and shouted. He was quickly losing his focus, and felt his in fingers slipping off the shower head. His mind just barely processing that he should hang on. But there wasn't anything to hang onto any more. All he was aware of was the Selkie licking and biting the back of his neck. His hands grabbing and twisting and sliding over every inch of his body. And his insides being filled with the other's rhythmic thrust.
It was no wonder that he came so hard. And fell off his hold. If not for Keiss having an arm wrapped around him he probably would have hit his head on the faucet. Layle could feel the Selkie climaxing as well. Filling his insides and making him feel even more dazed. His brain was still lopping the same warning.
Hang on.
After a moment he was able to straighten himself up and lean back against his partner and receive a face full of cold water. Absolutely unwelcome. "Ah…I think it's time to get out…"
"Probably…" The Selkie leaned forward and turned the water off before reaching around and running his hands over Layle's chest. "Hmn…too bad Nadeen wasn't here to hear you this time…"
"That's not funny." Layle pushed him off and let Keiss leave first. He still had some cleaning up to do, even if the water was cold.

By the time he was out, the Selkie was already lying, eyes closed on his bed. Layle sat on his across from his partner and stared at him. He looked completely at peace. And not at all like the scheming plotter he had come to know him as for the past three months. He leaned on his elbows and half smiled at the sleeping red head.
The more he stared the more he thought about this trip to Leuda and what little he could now add to his list of 'Known things about Keiss'. Layle fell over onto his bed and looked face up at the ceiling. He was certain as his eyes were closing he could see daylight peaking in. He figured they would just have a late start tomorrow. His mind kept wondering over details and the shower and Keiss as he fell asleep.
And his mind kept issuing him the same warning.
'Hang on. Or you'll fall in love.'
