Inside the hotel room, it was up to Alex to make the move. Pete stood still as a statue against the room's door, one hand on his tie, the other on the doorknob. Alex touched his cheek and he gasped, his eyes flew shut.

"Say, I don’t have patience with tyros, have you done this before?" Alex asked with a frown. Pete nodded, but his expression was still mostly terror-filled. "I mean more than stroking off with your buddies when you were twelve…" Alex murmured.

A breathy 'yeah' exploded out of Pete and he grabbed the hand that was steadily moving upward under his shirt. "Yes," he said a little more forcefully. "A couple of times. In…in college."

"Yeah?" Alex looked surprised. He backed off and grinned wryly when Pete exhaled and relaxed—slightly. He took off his coat and tossed it over the single chair in the room. "You went to college? Where?" He took off his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt. He walked carefully, slowly back to Pete and did the same to him. "I don't think I ever met anyone colored before who went to college."

Pete watched Alex's long white fingers skate over his skin and swallowed. "Yeah. We don’t all watch your babies and wash your cars."

Alex laughed, "You think you can talk to me anyway you want because I'm after your dick?" and popped the top button on Pete's pants. "You're right." Popped the next one, and the next…watching Pete give into him like he was dying was making his blood boil. He cupped Pete—felt him twitch under his hand.

"Lincoln University," Pete gasped when Alex slid a hand into his undone fly.

"What?"

"Unh--where I went."

"Oh." Alex wrapped his hand around Pete's thick dick, slid it up and down, testing, smirked when he groaned. Alex pressed close and sucked in Pete's bottom lip like a slice of ripe fruit. He pinched the full soft flesh between his teeth, bit down just the tiniest bit, and Pete bucked in his grip.

Letting Pete's lip pop free, Alex said, "Princeton." with a good imitation of calm, as if he wasn't so hard he might die of it. He stepped back and shed the rest of his clothes. "Didn't graduate—I was disowned." He stood comfortably, completely naked and let Pete look him over from head to toe. Alex could see the questions forming in Pete's eyes. Didn't matter. He'd just have to wonder. He pumped his hand slowly over his dick. "Come on," he urged Pete. "Get over here with me."

Pete stripped off the rest of his clothes. In the low light of the bedside lamp, he was an onyx statue come to life and though his dick was no where near as huge as it was rumored blacks to be, it was generous enough. Besides, Alex preferred being bigger than his partners. He pushed against Pete, held their dicks in his hand. Not much bigger.

"Bachelor's Degree," Pete gasped. "Engineering. Dad insisted…shit." He thrust into the tunnel of Alex's hand, they both groaned when they slid and tugged against each other. The first questing bumps and lurches became a smooth hot slide together…

"God…can we take this to the bed," Pete groaned. "I—It's not much softer than the door but I don't have to fight coming and standing upright…"

Alex laughed, and with one hand on Pete, led him back to the bed. He laid him down, and told him to close his eyes and think of nothing at all. "Just this, feel this." He traced loops and swirls on Pete's smooth dark skin, enjoying the contrast in their tones…Pete was really quite beautiful. "You really are something fine, Pete." Pete didn’t respond, he shuddered all over, deeply. Alex licked his way down, nibbling, sucking. He came to Pete's dick, and holding it in one hand, nibbled along the length of the thick vein running on the underside, tried to get his tongue under the edge of his foreskin, and Pete moaned. "Alex—Alex—oh—"

Alex moved up and threw a leg over Pete's shoulder, so that his dick was nudging Pete's mouth, and Pete's dick slid in his own. Pete babbled a little, "I-I—don't, oh!" Pete opened and took him in. Gave in to him, and Alex groaned.

It was better than he imagined it would be, a little awkward, a little sloppy, but hot, so fucking hot. Pete took a second but he got it, sucked his dick like it was what he was born to do. Pete let his dick drop out of his mouth and a moment later Alex felt his mouth, his tongue on his balls, and groaned…Pete's dick was in his throat and he swallowed, and Pete howled. Sucked him back and seemed determined to make him scream too…orgasm hit him like a flash fire, and Pete swallowed and swallowed. His head dropped back and he panted hard--with a groan, Alex's name moaned long and low, he was coming too.

Alex swallowed, licked the inside of his mouth, and considered…there was no real difference in taste he could tell. Black, white, no real difference in feel, or smell. He smiled. He figured all along that was the case.

Pete patted his shoulder gently. "Get off. You're heavy. Not that I don’t appreciate the orgasm."

Alex laughed. "You're funny, Pete. I like that."

Pete yawned. "So what happens next?"

Alex said, "Well, I'm gonna knock me a nod, then get up before the sun and slink off home. And at rehearsal we just--do what we do." He sat up, and grabbed a pack off the table. "I don't do dates, Pete. I'm one time strictly."

Pete grabbed his cigarette and took a drag; put it back in Alex's mouth. "There's that. And the fact I'm a colored and you’re a white boy and that's not the least of the law we're breaking here. And frankly, you ain't worth dying over."

Alex smoked, and rubbed his belly reflectively. "I like you Ross. I do. You're smarter than anyone else in that band, except maybe Walt. Maybe."

"I'm not fucking with you again," Pete said. "Most we should be is friends—and I guess I do want to be your friend." His expression said don’t ask me why, and Alex had to grin. "Probably be more trouble than it's worth," he muttered.

"Good, I want to be friends too. We need each other, right?" Alex said, and Pete nodded. He rolled off the bed and stood in one smooth movement and Alex admired the swing of his dick—now it was soft, the foreskin hung over the tip in a way that begged to be nibbled…Pete rested one hand on the edge of the bed, and ran the back of his other hand over Alex's glass smooth skin. He knew what the boy was feeling, but he didn’t ask at all and Alex figured, he'd made a good choice. "I don't fuck my friends, Pete."

Pete frowned. "Okay, I heard you the first time…so what was this, a test?"

He laid back and dropped his head to the mostly flat pillow. "Curiosity. I had to know, sorry."

"You had to know wha—oh. You…" Pete looked at him, the frown deepening a furrow between his brows. Opened his mouth—closed it again. Whatever he'd been about to say, he'd changed his mind. Instead he said, "You’re an asshole, you know that?"

Alex blew a smoke ring, chased it with a few smaller ones, and said, "nosce te ipsum, my friend."

Pete snorted, "Know thyself, eh? You think you do?"

Unexpectedly, Pete's teasing remark opened a well of sadness. "I don't think anyone else cares to," he sighed quietly.

Alex casually admitting he was there for the hell of it, because he want to 'know,' was a wonderful reference to the ever-inquisitive Lex we're familiar with.

Alex blew a smoke ring, chased it with a few smaller ones, and said, "nosce te ipsum, my friend."

Pete snorted, "Know thyself, eh? You think you do?"

Unexpectedly, Pete's teasing remark opened a well of sadness. "I don't think anyone else cares to," he sighed quietly.
That is such a poignant set of lines - they make me ache for Alex. His life, in a way, seems so much *less* than Pete's right then.

It does--he's curious now about a lot of things concerning Pete--his life, his family, all the things that Lex doesn't have.

Great closing line!

I truly enjoyed this section. Lex continues to be naughty. Pete can handle him, though. :)

Great closing line!

OOoo, thank you so much!

Pete can definitely handle Lex--and Lex might need a handler.

Some hot sexin' here, but I agree with Alex and Pete that they're better off being friends. Still, I'm glad that Clark is on the way, because Alex is far too alone for his own good -- asshole or not. *g* Very nice chapter!

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-02-21 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
heh! thank you! They are better off friends, because as lovers, eventually Pete would probably kill Lex. *G*

Did I say Clark was on the way? Well, he is--in a roxy sort of way...*koff*

[identity profile] aloneindarknes7.livejournal.com 2008-02-20 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It was so hot up until the last two lines. Then it turned to sad. Poor, disowned Alex. (I so knew he was going to smex Pete up)

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-02-21 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
He couldn't help it--it was right there!

Some day, Lex's prince will come!

[identity profile] myownghost.livejournal.com 2008-02-20 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm glad they're going to be friends. lex's detachment is painful, though. i'll be glad when clark makes a breakthrough with him.

Me too...wish I was sure how....*bites nails*

Oh, Alex! *hugs him*

Also, the pairing Lex/people just cracked me up, for some reason! :P

And what are 'tyros'?
danceswithgary: (Default)

[personal profile] danceswithgary 2008-02-20 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm popping in on the definition because I love slang - a tyro is an amateur. Lex was saying he wasn't interested in a virgin or someone new to the experience. That should make life even more intersting when Clark comes around. :-D

[identity profile] herohunter.livejournal.com 2008-02-20 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I got the gist of what Lex was saying, but I just didn't know if it stood for something! Cool!

Thanks, Val!

:)

Lex/people

You like that? *grin* We know where Lex is coming from right off the mark! And I see your question has been answered!

[identity profile] rednihilist.livejournal.com 2008-02-20 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Short, but sweeeeeeet! I'm lovin' this fic ('course I've always loved this period in history -- don't even get me started on the music or the literature!), and I love how great SV fic writers like you are able to keep the characters 'true' to their best 'selves' even in times and situations so vastly different from 'canon.' (And by 'best selves' I mean the potential the characters had in the beginning of 'Smallville,' before the people behind the show effectively took a huge dump all over the fans by making it nonsensical garbage. . . *BLINK* not to get off on a rant here, or anything.)

Your writing is mesme-fucking-rising. Thanks for writing and posting!

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-02-21 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
*G*
Next stop, Clarkville.

That's part of the fun--changing them just enough to fit the fic, but not enough to not know who they are. I'm so flattered that you think I toe the line! *g*

I know, they so sad....and kind of stupid most of the times, but I loves them.

what a great story, love the language and rhythm of the piece - extremely evocative. good that Pete and Alex were able to get that whole sex thing out of the way so quickly (well, hopefully not too quickly) and can go on to building a lasting friendship. i just hope it can surmount all the outside obstacles.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-02-21 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I plan on them being very good friends--but not that good!

It's fun to work with the slang and the culture of the times--I have to take some liberties so that it's readable for today, but it really is fun to research.

i am ever so lazy...to research myself

[personal profile] ender24 2008-02-23 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"not the least of the law we're breaking here."
what was actually back then the laws, or rather the punishment for such hmm transgressions?

Re: i am ever so lazy...to research myself

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-02-24 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
m/m sex was against the law back then. (I think it's still illegal in Kansas.) Also, black/white relationships were against the law then and were until 1967 when the law was considered unconstitutional. See, I wasn't supposed to exist when I was born.

I must confess, I don't know the actual legal punishment for either crimes(too lazy to look it up)--except Pete could be in danger of being killed for what he's doing. During the years I'm writing in, folks were turning a blind eye to gays, or exploiting them for amusement value--a *very* brief moment in history. And I should say, even though I'm saying Smallville and Metropolis, which are supposed to be Kansas, I actually always write Metropolis more like New York--or does that confuse everything even more? *G*

, or exploiting them for amusement value--

[personal profile] ender24 2008-02-29 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
lol, dont we still do that ??
exploiting lovely hot slash couples for our amusement ;D
and despite Brokeback mountain and other movies, gays are still considered something either unusual, or exotic or whatever?

either way, i am so glad you exist despite the law *g*.
with me, my grandma was against the marriage of mommy and daddy, as daddy was ..... lol "poor" XD

Wow, I never thought Lete? Pex? would be hot like that. (Pete's too whiny for me.) But damn. Good job, hon. I like it. I have a feeling their friendship is going to be good for each other.

Pex, yay!!

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-04-05 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
lol! yay! That's a terrific compliment!

I totally agree with you about SV Pete, and actually Lex and Pete as a pair. When I write him, the only thing I keep is the sense of humor--my Pete is definitely OC. But geez, they never did the guy any favors on the show, so far as characterization goes so I figure he's mine to do with what I want. :)

[identity profile] lexii314.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm finally reading this :)
You know... After all these years I think this is the first time I've ever read Lex/Pete. Well done! I'm really enjoying your writing style for this story

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, glad you're here!

Pete/Lex is not something we'd *like* to see a lot of, y'know? And really, it only works in a complete AU like this, I can't even *begin* to imagine the circumstances that would get those two in bed in a canon based story, lol!!

[identity profile] norwich36.livejournal.com 2008-07-22 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
That was hot, though the ending was surprisingly sad. I liked how blatant this was about Lex's curiousity about Pete's differences, too. Though it's very sad that Lex doesn't have sex with his friends. (And it's kind of remarkable that Pete can put up with his shit).

BTW, thank you so much for internally linking all the chapters--it makes it so much easier for us latecomers!

Also, it just occurred to me that you're going to open your inbox and have a million comment responses from me at once--I think I may skip commenting on individual chapters for a bit and save them up so your inbox doesn't get so spammed.

Are you kidding! I live for that shit! You I can be honest with! *beams*


I always like to point out that yes, Pete is different and that's cool.
