[Closed] [VoidTreckers; Kaiba, Esteban] - Pokemon Slice of Life For The Soul!

no subject
But there are good things to be found as well, and the tiny light that dances on invisible wings waits, chimes a little wave when it finds the lost dreamer in its realm. Starshine dusts its blurry outline, and the voice echoes in the stillness, chirps of a sound as it sways and weaves close to the visitor. Paper wishes dangle from odd spaces, and there is warmth to be found as it lays a tiny limb-- hand?-- against an arm.
There's a vague sense of joy, of wonder and of excitement that slips through, before eyes are opened and the dream fades.
*~*~*
This is not home.
Esteban knows it as soon as he opens his eyes again, deep breath settled at the bottom of his lungs. This is not home, not without Eriat's deep glow overhead. The sun is dipping below the horizon, in oranges and reds as deep as the flames he wields, and the sound of crashing waves below him gets carried by the harsh wind that surges against the cliffs.
Trees are clumped together some distance away, sheltered in an outcrop rock and dirt that climbs higher along the flank of the mountain, their late fall leaves loose brightly coloured. The grass surrounding him is dry, and brittle, and dips a short distance away, indicating something must have crossed the grass there.
Esteban is careful to check himself first. Each limb stings a bit, but doesn't protest when he moves, just like after a long and contented nap. It feels just a little too close to a dream at first, but a pinch stings and burns enough that he no longer fears it. Something sweet-sounding rises from a nearby bush, a gentle echo of music, like a violin as Esteban glances through his bag.
His normal supplies. An extra change of clothes, he's surprised to note, but the rest is normal. Only the pages of his now all-important journal contain a slip of paper he hadn't seen before, peeking over the rim. He'll check it later. Food and water are safe, so his urgency for either is severely diminished; but he'll need to set a campfire soon.
He pushes back his immediate questions, figuring he's not quite ready to address them, and stands, watching the untamed wilderness surrounding him. There's skittering things between the trees; little creatures that got frightened, and ran, but he doesn't know if there might be something more dangerous lingering nearby. By the trace in the grass- and here he pauses, surprised to find something white cradled in the dry beds.
It takes him a moment to recognize the coat, before what he's seeing smacks him in the face.
"Seto?" He blinks, surprised, but joy soon shimmers as he takes the few steps between them, reaching for his friend's shoulder. It doesn't vanish when Esteban grips at the white fabric, and he has to fight the urge to pinch himself again. 'Dians, it's his friend! It's his friend, and he's missed Kaiba's taciturn presence in the last few months!
"Seto, hey! Good morning!" he calls out-- a little more softly than his usual tone-- with a gentle shake. This requires a proper hug, and he can't get that while Seto is asleep after all.

[Closed] [Daia, Esteban] - Kisses
no subject
Canon: JamJar AU, CRAU following the VoidTrecker Express(?)
Content Warning: Heavy kissing =)c
no subject
A large, calloused palm sits at the small of his back and under his shirt, trapping his small boyfriend against the wall as he lingers against Daia's neck, lips pressed to the pale, delicate skin he finds there. His breathing is shallow and heated, his mind in tangles as he holds himself still for just one more moment, presses the gentle edge of teeth just above the stripped ribbon, before Esteban rises slowly. A hand teases the ends of silver bangs, pushing them aside and fluttering down, holding him still.
Lips touch the line of his jaw, the curve of his cheek, before the half-elf lingers, nose to nose, into the anticipation. He calls out his lover's name, thrilled to be able to call out to him once more.
"I'm home~" He teases, mischief caught in the curve of his smile that still refuses the touch that he craves. Daia is so warm, and soft, and here.
"I missed you~" he hums again, and the thumb at the small of Daia's back traces delicate half-moons against his skin, just for the touch, just for the comfort, the giddiness to have his lover in his arms.

[Closed] [Voidtreckers; Najaran, Esteban] - Exploring Culdcept!
no subject
Canon: CRAU following the VoidTrecker Express
Content Warning: None so far
no subject
Najaran's invitation had remained on his mind, had lingered with him even as he'd gone home. Ithil's distractedness had not held a candle to his own, and once his father had been assured Esteban wasn't about to fall into another trance-like sleep, he'd nodded and let his child go, simply asking him to document whatever plants he could find over there.
It's a relief to be on the road again. To find the places where there is a gap between the worlds, to find a spot where he can discreetly ask to visit another. The travel time is easier, now that he knows what to expect, and the drop off is made almost casually; as if they hadn't spent months trapped in the giant noodle of metal and steam. Esteban brushes the matter aside. In the end, the VoidTrecker Express had given him far too much to be thankful for, that he couldn't remain angry at it.
He steps out into the heated, humid air, feeling it cling to the skin with the call of a hundred insects scampering in the few trees that grow about. Rocks are strewn about in a rather careless fashion of piles, and crumbled mounds, and Esteban has to be careful not to lose his footing, carefully pacing along the outcrops as he can while he looks around to see if anyone is there.
"Hello?" He calls out into the empty stones, peering around. In theory, Najaran should be nearby, seeing as she was the link to have him visit such a distant world. In theory, she shouldn't be too far. At least, he thinks so.

Day 2
The sun shines brightly overhead when he makes his way outside, the rocky grounds almost burning underneath unwary hands. Heat rises into a haze, particularly near the pools where the dubious water gathers.
Esteban stretches and soaks into the sunlight, letting it awaken his sore limbs. Rising at his full height, he's almost frighteningly tall as he stands on the ball of his feet, his arms arched over his head as his entire spine pops back into place. As he falls back on the sole, bright and eager, he starts a quick search for his friend, wondering what she might be up to at this point in time.
Horowitz might be training her with her spells, perhaps? That's worth looking into it!

[Closed] [Seto Kaiba, Esteban] - Soulmate Meme
no subject
Canon: Modern times / Meme AU
Content Warning: Child Abuse,
HopefullyDefinitely some kissing XD Smut/Sexual content.Soulmate marks AU, where Kaiba's soulmate mark started as a very faded birthmark, covered up by scars, but it gets brighter the more they're together. Esteban's soulmate mark was faded and a bit fuzzy, like an old tattoo, but still visible.
Goals: holding hands, stolen glances while at a beach or something... some kind of playful game?
no subject
Esteban scrunches his nose at the perfectly reflective surfaces surrounding him, mirrors providing just a bit more depth and ease for the trapping contraption. It always leaves him jumpy and bouncing on his toes, nervous, but there's no helping it. Kaiba is far too high for him to climb the stairs, and he'd like to get lunch today, not two weeks from now.
He perks up noticeably when the doors ping their destination, lips rising in a helpless grin that he didn't even think to share. When they part ways, he's ready, greeting the regular receptionist with his terrifying smile, and a happy wave.
"Hello! I'm here t' see Mister Kaiba! It's lunch time, an' he should get a break, dontcha think?" he asks cheekily, but there's not really a need to state his business, when the card is already in his hand. He swipes in to the lounge areas, and his stride is steady and self-assured as he arrows down the short hallways to the main offices.
He makes it all the way down to the door before slowing, taking a short break to run a hand through his hair, and to stare at the windowed door just a short stride away. He can see Kaiba through the glass, his white coat absent, probably so that he won't roll on it. The black turtleneck he wears underneath it clings tightly to his frame and Esteban gives himself five-- no two seconds to ogle and lick his dry lips briefly before he goes in. Kaiba would notice him if he lingers too long-- might already have, to be honest.
"Heya~" The door is no protection, Esteban waltzes in like he belongs into Kaiba's office, with all the charm and sunshine he possesses. (Which is, he knows, a lot~ He does have his talents after all!)
"I made 'n appointment," he declares brightly, propping his phone up in his hand within a half-second. "[Let's go have lunch soon!]" he indicates, pointing at the incriminating text. "It's soon! C'mon! I betcha y' didn't take your break yet!"
It's a bit much, he knows, but he'd rather make sure his friend is at least taking a few breaks throughout the day, even if he has to make spaces for them himself. He's always been a little bit too nosy like that.
