"Just relax."

"I was relaxed," Lem complained, "You're making me nervous." He swung his legs as he sat on the edge of his bed. The romance of the moment had been somewhat spoiled by Chuck announcing he needed something, and now, ten minutes later, the human was still rummaging about in the nightstand near the bed.

"Ah ha! Here we go." He brandished a small tube triumphantly, then gave Lem his slickest smile yet, sitting next to him on the bed.

Lem examined the tube. "That's what you were looking for?"

"Well, yeah." He looked concerned. "This could hurt a little. If it is too much, let me know. We can try it the other way around."

"The other... oh..." He was unexpectedly scared. But he summoned his courage and placed the tube on the nightstand, then turned to Chuck. "I trust you."

Chuck's intense blue eyes burned into his as he pushed Lem back on the bed, and for a while Lem forgot his fear. Clothes ended up in a heap on the floor, and Chuck used his prodigious skill to turn Lem into a pleading, quivering heap. His tongue began what his fingers continued, and Lem watched as the human spread thick, slippery liquid over his digits, then arched upwards as two fingers slid inside him easily. It felt better than he thought it would, and his cock pulsed hard and hot, neglected as Chuck prepared him.

"Well, this is...easier than I anticipated," Chuck said, kissing along Lem's inner thighs as he gently eased in a third finger. "How do you feel?"

Rather than answer, Lem pushed himself down further onto the invading fingers, whimpering slightly. It was a strange sensation, but he felt Chuck hitting something within him that sent shots of fire straight up into his groin, and pleasure was quick to take over any discomfort.

Chuck mumbled something about anatomy, but Lem was far beyond hearing. He was fingering his antennae again, moaning softly, and Chuck was over come by the sight. He knelt and wrapped Lem's legs around his waist, quickly slathering his own manhood with lubricant. He leaned over, bracing himself on the mattress and one green hip as he pushed himself inside the tight heat of Lem's body.

Lem was surprised to feel none of the discomfort that Chuck had prepared him for, but gripped Chuck's shoulders at that unfamiliar sensation, groaning in renewed lust. His hips moved frantically, trying to push his shaft against Chuck as the human kissed him fiercely. "It...it feels..."

"I know," Chuck moaned. He pressed his forehead against Lem's, rubbing his deliciously soft hair against the puffy antennae. Lem's eyes clenched shut, and he felt Chuck's hand against his cheek. "Stay with me, now... Open your eyes."

With all the flames shooting inside him, all the incredible desire, it was hard to force his eyes open. When he did, he was moved to tears by the sight of Chuck's beloved face, his lips pursed as he tried to control his movements, still fearful of harming him. Lem's four fingers wrapped around his pale biceps. "There's no pain at all," he whispered in amazement, his hips still moving involuntarily. "It feels... like...I'm whole... And so full of you..."

Unable to hold back any more, Chuck started a slow rhythm, and Lem writhed beneath him. The feel of Chuck's member inside him, stroking that SOMETHING that he hadn't known was there, was killing him slowly. He knew he would melt away from all the pleasure. He wondered if it felt as good to Chuck, but lost conscious thought again as soft pink lips moved over one of his antennae.

The pace suddenly increased, and one of Chuck's hands reached down to stroke Lem as he moved in and out of him, his breathing hard and growling. "Look at me," he commanded, and Lem did. Right at the moment they both climaxed, and he was lost in the new sensations, his muscles clenching around Chuck's shaft, and in his bright blue eyes. "I love you," Chuck managed to groan, and Lem thought he might have wailed it back as he bucked, out of control under his lover.

They stayed like that for a while, still together, languidly kissing and stroking. Lem felt some disappointment as Chuck slipped from him and rolled over to his side, but it was quickly squashed as he was pulled snugly against his side.

"Lem..." Chuck said quietly. "I meant what I said back there. I've never felt this way about anyone before. You're it, Green Machine, and I'm not letting you go."

"Oh, Chuck," he said, kissing his shoulder lightly. "I feel the same way about you."

He felt wonderful for the rest of the night, and couldn't fathom why the human looked so troubled.

Several days later, Lem came home from class to find Chuck looking at some papers, looking grim. "What is it?" Lem said, his hearts racing.

"I've been... putting this off. For a long time." Chuck put the sheets down and motioned for Lem to sit next to him. "Some transmissions from Earth."

"What is it?"

"They're ordering me back, Lem."

Time had stopped. After a moment that seemed like eternity, he shook his head. "I don't think I heard you properly."

"I have to go back to Earth," he said. "I don't have a choice. The want to speak to me in person and perform some interviews about this planet. But... I was hoping, and they've given permission... Would you come with me?"

"Is it...forever?" Lem asked quietly. He loved this man with all his heart, but the thought of abandoning his planet was not one he wanted to entertain. "Could I ever come back?"

Chuck brightened immensely. "Oh, sure! This is temporary. They wanted to talk to me about my experiences, and when I mentioned that you and I were in a relationship, they suggested -"

"Excuse me? You told ..." Lem couldn't help imagining a room full of old scientist hearing about his illicit activities with Captain Charles Baker, and flushed horribly.

"I told you, it's not that big of a deal, kid," he said, pulling him against his body. "They wanted you to come with me. It'll be great – I can't wait to show you everything. Think of it like a vacation!"

After regaining his composure, he thought over what Chuck had said. It would be...wonderful to see Earth. He'd be the only one from his planet ever to visit! The first!

And with the man he loved, free to be open about how much he meant to him...

"Yes," he said. "I'll go."

"I'll let them know," Chuck said. "Riiight after I finish showing you how sexy I think you look, all blushy like that."

As Chuck pulled him into his lap, Lem knew he'd never be happier than he was right now.

Final Note: This is the first multi-chapter fic that I've ever completed, and I'm feeling rather proud of that. So proud, I'm considering a sequel – what do you think? This was really fun to write, and I just wanted to say thanks to all my readers and reviewers – you know I love a good review! :)
