Pairing: Brangwen/Cloud, Brangwen/Elena
Rating: R
Disclaimer: If they were mine Aeris and Zack would still be alive, and not just running around in the Lifestream spying on Cloud. Since Aeris and Zack said goodbye to Cloud at the end of AC and disappeared into the Lifestream I guess they aren't mine.
Warnings: AU
Brangwen had woken up feeling vaguely nauseous, and she let herself hope it might be morning sickness. She’d known better than to truly believe that however, and she was disappointed, but not particularly surprised to find that she was bleeding later that day.
She refused to put herself through abother three nights like their first attempt at producing a child - even if that first terrible attempt at consumation had led her to go to Elena earlier than she’d planned and confirmed that the blonde responded to her. But she knew that she wasn’t going to get any pleasure from being with Cloud, not when he made it so clear that his only interest in her was the chance to get an heir, rather than taking any pleasure in being with her. So what could she do to make it easier on her, on them both?
She needed Elena, needed to hold her and be held by her, to know that she was wanted for something besides her fertile womb. And then maybe they could dance together afterwards, renew the promise of their mariatha, even if she wasn’t at her best. As she looked for her lover Brangwen allowed her mind to wander, running over the times she’d been with Cloud so far, all three of them.
He hadn’t been at all aroused that first time, then the second time he’d barely kept his erection long enough to fuck her. She’d almost been surprised to see that he’d climaxed considering that he’d had to force his way into her tense dry flesh. Then that last time she’d wised up a bit and made sure she was ready for him, stroking herself to climax more than once before he arrived so that she’d be relaxed, and pinned him to mkae sure they went at her pace, not his. He’d almost responded better to that than to anything else she’d done, but it had felt far too much like rape for Brangwen to be comfortable repeating it.
She knew better, knew that she couldn’t have pinned Cloud if he hadn’t let her, not with how young he’d become the Planet’s Chosen, but that didn’t change how she felt. Thinking back though, she hadn’t really gone that much slower than Cloud had the previous day, the big difference had been that she was relaxed, and ready for him, where before she hadn’t been. So...she needed to make sure she had time to take her own pleasure first; then she could lie back and let Cloud use her.
“Elena, come with me please.” She wanted to do this in her own bedroom, so that Elena didn’t feel even remotely trapped when Brangwen made the request that had just come to her.
“Of course.” Elena’s smile shifted from the welcoming one she’d greeted her with to something more sensual as Brangwen led her from the harem, and once they were in Brangwen’s bedroom Elena pounced on her. Brangwen didn’t fight it, returning Elena’s kisses and just holding her, almost clinging to her, enjoying the aggression Elena was showing in exploring beneath her clothes, such a far cry from that first night. Elena was being far more aggressive than she’d ever dared before, and Brangwen was distantly grateful for her perception in realising how deeply she needed this near-ravishment. Her perception, and her courage, to actually take charge and push Brangwen to climax with an almost vicious twist of her fingers and all without removing a single piece of clothing.
“Are you alright? Do you feel better now?” Elena lifted her clean hand to cradle the left side of Brangwen’s face gently.
“Yes, thank you. I...needed that.” More than she’d known. Brangwen hadn’t realised just how badly those three nights with Cloud had affected her perceptions of her own bedroom, that until this very moment she hadn’t managed to relax in here after the way Cloud had rejected her.
“Do you want to tell me about it?” Elena pulled her down to lie on the bed as she spoke, moving carefully, as if she wasn’t sure Brangwen would allow this.
“I just had confirmation I’ll need to sleep with Cloud again in two to three weeks, I was hoping I’d conceived this month, even though I knew it wasn’t that likely.”
“Confirmation? You mean...” Elena pulled back a little, moving the hand she’d had between Brangwen’s legs so she could look at it. “But I don’t see any blood, and I didn’t feel a pad or the string of a tampon.”
“No, you wouldn’t. I use a cup that I put inside myself. Most warrior caste do the same.” Something in Elena’s expression... “Is it a problem for you?”
“I just don’t like the taste of blood, and I’m not particularly comfortable having sex when I’m bleeding.” But Elena cuddled back up against her again, holding her and comforting her.
“I see. There’s ways to avoid that, bleeding I mean. I think there’s some sort of hormonal implant available that would keep you from bleeding for a year.” She’d gotten more than a bit of teasing about the almost masochistic way she checked on what contraceptive options were available to any woman who could get a human doctor to prescribe them, but it was turning out to be useful now. “I can ask about getting a human doctor to prescribe that for you if you want?”
“Thank you. I...my second master had me put on the sort of pill that keeps you from having a period as long as you take it, but I had to go off it when he was finished with me.” Brangwen was missing something, somewhere, and she frowned, knowing that this was a distraction from what she needed to discuss, and more than willing to take it. “And what about Rowan, if you don’t mind telling me?”
“She provided condoms and made it clear she expected us to use them if we had the sort of sex that could lead to pregnancy. But...I worried a bit since I’ve been here, in case Tseng claimed his right as the first concubine, as Cloud doesn’t seem to provide for that.” Claimed his right? No, she wouldn’t ask, and Brangwen shook her head to clear it of this diversion.
“Right, I’ll see to that as soon as I can. But this isn’t actually why I brought you here. I wanted to ask if you’d be willing to help me when I try to conceive.”
“Ah...how? I’m not sure I understand. I know tricks to arouse a man if that’s what you need, but it can be chancy...”
“No, that isn’t what I need.” Brangwen reassured Elena with a laugh, although maybe she should learn those tricks, if Cloud proved to have difficulties getting hard for her. “I was hoping you’d be willing to be with me before and after Cloud. Before so that I’m relaxed and ready when he comes to me, and after because I understand that climaxing helps a woman conceive.”
“It does?” Elena blinked in confusion, seeming oddly innocent.
“Well, that’s what my family taught me anyway.” And she’d known that her brothers and male cousins had been taught how to please a woman for that very reason, a couple of the more distant cousins had wanted to practise on her, not intercourse, but the sort of thing she’d used to please Elena. “So, will you?” Brangwen let go of her lover, allowing her to leave if she found the idea offensive, but Elena looked almost proud.
“Yes, of course I will, if that’s what you want.” Elena smiled and pressed up against her to kiss Brangwen’s throat. “So, do you want to practise a bit now?”
“Why not? But this time I want to take care of you as well.”
