Almul decides to see if oral sex works on them at all. 

The answer is… yes? Maybe? 

It depends on your definition of “sex”. 

Quiet glade, soft, mossy ground, and privacy. Nice and calm,
private, no one around. Good mood for both of them, Alzu with a full stomach
but not stuffed, nothing particularly urgent to do. This was a good time for a
proposition, right?

Granted, it wasn’t the usual sort. Mostly because Almul
wasn’t the usual sort. In particular, they didn’t have genitalia, or anything
even remotely like it. But they did have a crotch, and their plating was
sensitive to touch, and people got up to very interesting things that didn’t
involve their genitals, so… why not? May as well try. It wasn’t like Alzu had
any complaints about putting his tongue in interesting places.

Crooning gently to get Alzu’s attention, Almul slid their
hands over and wound their fingers into his ruff, pulling gently until he moved
with them. Chattering a quiet noise of entreaty, they pulled his head down
until the tip of his muzzle was pushed gently against their crotch piece, then
clicked hopefully and watched.

“…uh.”

Alzu blinked a couple of times, honestly confused, and
rolled his eyes up to look at Almul. This was a very blatant gesture, but…
Almul didn’t really have anything down here to lick. “D’you, uh… y’know, this
usually needs people t’ have somethin’ down here. But, uh- you wanna try? Yeah?
Sure- why th’ hell not. A’ight- lemme grab somethin’ real quick, an’ then I
will happily, uh… lick ya out? Maybe? Wha’ever this turns out t’ be.”

He pulled back slightly, reaching over to pull his pack
closer, and took out a short coil of thick rope. Muttering “gotta give ya
somewhere ta put them claws”, he tied a quick knot in the rope, then slipped it
over his head and settled it around his neck. It wasn’t tight, but it made a
decent makeshift collar, and it would give Almul somewhere to get his claws
into. “Here- grab on.”

Once Almul’s claws were settled into place, Alzu lowered his
head again and nuzzled firmly into their crotch, inhaling deeply before
flicking his tongue over the plating. Almul smelled like gently heated metal,
strange flame, and a hint of something like life-magic, about what one would
expect. Besides that, they smelled excited- not aroused, just intrigued.
Somehow, “intrigued” had a smell.

Almul clicked softly at the lick,
claws tightening around the collar, then slowly relaxed their entire frame and
let the sensation of settling plating sink into the point up against Alzu’s
snout. They knew from experience that this was the best way to get a piece of
plating off, to just relax until it could be nudged aside, and-

Oh.

The edges of their plates were
more sensitive, and Almul was reminded of that as Alzu’s tongue traced around
the edge of their loosening codpiece, earning a small shiver from them. And
then a much stronger shiver as Alzu nudged their codpiece up and pushed his
muzzle through the gap it left.

Grinning at a shuddering warble
from Almul, Alzu paused with just the very tip of his muzzle through the gap,
hands coming up to pet at smooth thighs. “A’ight… tha’s somethin’. You jus’
lemme know if ya wanta stop, yeah? But, other’n that- you want more, you pull
me in. M’kay?”

He waited a moment for
acknowledgement, then rumbled softly and began to lick gently, right around the
edges of the plating that usually met Almul’s codpiece. Now and then, he
stopped that motion in favor of rubbing with the side of his muzzle, letting
the fur stroke along the edges to see what it did.

Now, Almul might not have had the
equipment to express traditional arousal, but this had to be something similar. Alzu knew what budding arousal
felt like from between someone’s legs, and this seemed about right- quiet,
shaky little sounds, hands tightening on his collar, legs clamping lightly
around his head. He had to push Almul’s thighs apart to keep his muzzle from
being trapped, but it worked, and he was starting to get more sounds- so he
took a bit of a risk.

Oh, this felt nice. It wasn’t as strong as sexual
pleasure seemed to be for most people, but it was good, and Almul rocked their
hips lightly against Alzu in an attempt to get more. They’d seen that motion
before in this context, but had never been the one using it, and they rather
liked it. Chuffing a pleased noise, Almul rocked again, just a bit harder, and
then squealed when-

It took them a moment to parse
the sensation, but Alzu had pushed his muzzle deeper, spread their thighs
further apart, and licked at the inside of their lower back. It sent tingling
fire up where Almul’s spine should have been, and they skreeled a soft,
pleasured noise before tugging harder on the collar, leaning up enough to look
down at Alzu and see what he was doing.

Alzu crooned softly in return,
aware that his ears were lowering and his tail-wagging was settling into a
familiar up-and-down pattern, and didn’t bother trying to nudge the submissive
impulses away. He didn’t want to sink into full subspace at the moment, nor did
he think Almul would know how to do that, but this soft fuzz of relaxed
submission was perfect for the situation. Just relax, let Almul take control,
and explore… whatever the hell this was. Because this was not a massage, but he really had no clue what to call it.

Ah well. It was fun, whatever it
was, and Alzu pushed his muzzle just a fraction deeper before pulling back a
bit. Rocking his head back and forth slightly, he eased the plating against the
sides of his muzzle a bit further apart, widening the gap where Almul’s crotch
plating had been, then lowered his head an inch or so to keep licking. Almul
squirmed nicely when he did this, so- whatever he was doing, whatever it felt
like, it was apparently very nice. “Nnh, yeah- lemme.” Alzu muttered, wriggling
until Almul’s legs were draped over his shoulders, and slo-o-owly began to push
his snout deeper. Maybe the further stretch would be good? Because it was a stretch, plating spreading further
apart but trying to clamp back around him, and Almul made a quiet sound of
pleasure with every squeeze. That, and those claws pulled on the collar and on
his ruff every now and then, coaxing him closer. So he obeyed, and he moved  closer, feeling Almul’s heels kick lightly
against his back at the quick change.

This probably wasn’t what most people
felt with Alzu’s snout pressed up between their legs, it didn’t seem to be as
strong, but it was very nice and they
wanted more. Warbling, Almul rocked their hips in several quick motions,
pressing Alzu’s snout deeper into them, and groaned
as that soft tongue swiped along the inside of their back. Alzu could reach
more spots as he continued to press further, and there was a stretch that was starting to move up
into Almul’s stomach as Alzu pushed deeper, deeper-

Almul warbled a quiet noise of
shock as they realized that Alzu had just about his entire head inside them,
then they went limp again, aside from the clamping of their legs and plating
around Alzu’s frame. And maybe that should have been disturbing, but, oh- this
was Alzu, and he was trying to make them feel good, and he was succeeding-

Skreeling in pleasure, Almul rolled
their hips up against Alzu, one hand leaving the collar in order to grip at the
ground under them.

Somehow, despite the sheer
strangeness of what they were doing, this whole situation had gotten rather
erotic. Yes, Alzu had now stuffed his entire head and some of his neck up
inside Almul’s frame, and yes it was weird, but Almul sounded happy. And the motions, well- that felt like what he was
used to, absolutely. Granted, he’d never gotten more than just his muzzle-tip
inside someone before, but that rolling motion and the rhythmic squeezing were
more than familiar. So he went with it- licked whatever he could reach,
occasionally paused to breathe hot air against the damp spots, and stroked his
hands along whatever plating he could easily reach without pulling his head out
to get a proper look.

Almul was definitely still
coherent, more so than people generally seemed to be during sex, and they were
still able to let their mind wander over the situation. Nothing seemed to be
building up, their pleasure had plateaued, and that didn’t seem to be about to
change. But that was okay- this still felt very nice, and they would be happy
to just continue for awhile. Not too long, it was tiring, but oh-

 

Eventually, exhaustion won, and
Almul kreeked gently as they pushed Alzu away. They were tired, and starting to
feel more sensitive, and they were just about done with this, so- time to stop,
yes? Yes.

Groaning softly at the sensation
of Alzu slowly retreating, of their plating starting to settle back into place,
Almul rocked their hips a few times more before settling down against the
ground again. Crooning quietly, they held Alzu’s ruff in their hands for a few
seconds, then let go and relaxed to look up at Alzu.

“Oh, lookit you.” Alzu muttered,
quickly rubbing both hands over his face to settle all his fur down, and sat
back to look down at Almul. Worked up, disheveled, the ground around them
scraped up where they’d braced themself with both hands- a lovely picture. And
sexy, even without any actual sex involved. “Ahh, pretty… lemme clean ya up.”

There wasn’t really anything to
clean up, truthfully, but Alzu had to help Almul settle somehow. So he did-
leaned down and rubbed at Almul’s sides, then a bit further up, leaning down to
nuzzle and nibble gently at their gradually settling plating. More firm
petting, stroking, massaging plating down into place, gradually working his way
up to settle against Almul.

Once Almul looked at least mostly
re-settled, Alzu flopped down next to them, curling gently against their frame.
“Yeah, okay- that wasn’ really sex, bu’ it was damn close. You got all
sensitive, huh? A’ight- settle.”

The pleasure faded gradually, and
Almul crooned the entire time, arching gently against Alzu and reaching up to
rub behind his ears. Happy enough to let the pleasant buzz linger without
anything that might interrupt it, they slowly pulled the rope collar off, then
stretched long and slow before curling up against Alzu. Oh, good, soft- lovely.

They’d have to do this again. Not
soon, it was tiring and all they really wanted right now was to nap, but it
felt good. Maybe they could try to work with other sex things that people did?

Yes. Definitely. Alzu knew about
a lot of sex things, he probably knew
just about all the things to try.

Later, though.

Prrr.
