Lessons in the Nalbina Dungeons

Authors Note: Just a note to say that I still have not finished playing Final Fantasy 12 yet. Believe me, I'm working on it. I've been wanting to do a PWP with Balthier and Vaan for a while, and finally had an idea hit me, and here is the result. Obviously I'm changing the events of what actually happens in the game a little, but don't we all when we write these stories. I hope I got their characterization right. Please let me know what you thought if you took the time to read. Thanks. I may write a sequel as well if this one is liked.

Lessons in the Nalbina Dungeons

"I will search for an escape," Fran said, pulling Balthier's gaze away from the slumbering young man. He gave her a nod, and she went on her way. He thought maybe he should go with her, but he didn't want to leave Vaan unattended in his unconscious state. Besides that, he knew Fran was capable enough to take care of herself, even in this grimy prison they had been tossed into.

Balthier looked back toward his charge who was muttering incoherently, in the throes of a dream perhaps. No matter, his dream would probably be preferable to what he was going to wake up to. 'So young to be in a place like this,' he thought with a soft sigh. Vaan stirred with a groan, and Balthier watched his eyes open slowly and focus on the dark, dreary room.

"You're awake," Balthier said, getting his attention.

"Where are we?" the groggy young man asked as he sat up to look around their grim accommodations.

"Prison, where else? More a dungeon, but it's really all the same," he answered, watching him take in the surroundings.

"Where's Fran?"

"She's off trying to find us a way out."

"I'm going to help her," Vaan said, moving toward the only exit.

"Just a word of advice," he said, stopping Vaan in mid-step. "I'd stay here if I were you. Handsome young man like yourself, walking around out there unarmed and inexperienced, not a very smart thing to do. Someone unsavory might take advantage. Do you get me?" he said slow in warning.

"I think I can take care of myself," Vaan said indignantly, and made to leave, but froze when he heard a scream of pain from the deep bowels of the dungeon. He swallowed thickly, and looked back toward the sky pirate who was giving him a smirk. After a moment of indecision, Vaan came and sat next to him with a sorrowful sigh.

"Smart lad," Balthier chuckled, and gave the young man a pat on the back.

"I'm not afraid," Vaan shot at him with an annoyed expression.

"I didn't say you were, but you are naive," he said plainly, and offered him the water pouch from his belt. "Have a drink, but take it easy, it's all we have."

"Thanks," Vaan muttered, and snatched the pouch to take a sip. "I'm not naive either," he frowned, handing the pouch back when he was done. Balthier chuckled again, but said nothing, letting him have his stubborn rant. He was just as young at one time, and just as hot headed, so he really couldn't begrudge his anger. The young man did have a lot of potential, and he was a strong fighter, but he still had a lot to learn.

"Balthier, what did you mean exactly when you said someone might take advantage of me?" he said suddenly in a hushed tone as if he were embarrassed to even ask.

"My, my. You're more naive than I thought, Vaan." The young man sneered, but it was the most non threatening one that the sky pirate had ever seen, and he laughed heartily, the sound echoing off the dank walls.

"Stop laughing. I was just asking a question," he snapped and stood up stiffly.

"Sit, I meant no offense," Balthier said, letting his laughter die down. Vaan frowned, but sat back down with a low curse. "I'll spell it out for you, my boy. Someone out there," Balthier pointed out toward the deeper part of the dungeon, "would have one look at you and take what you would not be willing to give," he continued. "Understand now?" Vaan's eyes widened, and a deep blush rose on his cheeks with his instant realization.

"But, I like girls," he said in a flustered way.

"That won't matter to a man who has been imprisoned down here in this dreary place. Don't worry, you're safe here with me. I'm not one for rape. It's quite repulsive really," he said, leisurely brushing dirt off his shirtsleeves.

"You.....like men?" Vaan asked sheepishly.

"If they're willing," Balthier smirked, and Vaan looked away with a deeper blush. "Why so curious?" he asked, watching the young man's profile as uncertainty crossed his delicate features.

"No....I'm not...I mean....How....how can two men...?"

"It's possible, Vaan," he chuckled lightly, and he couldn't help but enjoy his timid questioning. His innocence was sinfully adorable. "Would you like me to show you?" he asked softly, and Vaan turned to him with wide eyes.

"I.....here?" he swallowed, then looked toward the exit as if to see if someone was watching.

"I don't think Fran will be back for some time," he said, touching the soft skin on the back of Vaan's neck. The blonde gasped, and looked back at the sky pirate like a frightened chocobo.

"But...anybody could come in here," he reasoned, but eyed Balthier with obvious curiosity.

"We're safe here. Trust me," Balthier said with an air of confidence. "Do you trust me?" he asked, moving deliberately closer to the younger man.

"I don't know why, but I do," Vaan whispered, and took a shaky breath when Balthier touched his face with light fingertips. "I'd...like for you to show me," he said, licking his lips in a way that seemed suggestive, but probably wasn't meant to be.

"Very well," Balthier practically purred to him. "Just relax, and if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me to stop and I will....Okay, Vaan?" He wasn't able to speak, but he nodded and closed his eyes when the older man moved closer.

Balthier touched his lips to Vaan's that were stiff and unresponsive. 'Poor lad is nervous,' he thought, keeping the kiss light and gentle until he felt comfortable enough to relax. He didn't have long to wait, and soon Vaan's mouth loosened under the soft caress of his lips.

He moved one of his hands to Vaan's thigh, massaging it lightly, and he gasped with the unexpected, intimate touch. Balthier took the opportunity to run the tip of his tongue over Vaan's parted lips, coaxing him into a deeper kiss. The younger man seemed in a state of frozen shock as Balthier ran his tongue over every surface of his mouth.

"Relax," Balthier muttered against his lips. "Give me your tongue," he urged, then covered Vaan's mouth with his once again. He felt his smaller body tremble against him, but he did as he was asked, and Balthier took his slick tongue into his mouth. He sucked on it, taking in the taste of his shy, but eager student.

Vaan whimpered, rolling his tongue experimentally against the one caressing his, and he timidly touched Balthier's waist with trembling hands. He didn't know if it was the chance of someone catching them, or the fact that this was all new to him, but every nerve seemed to be quivering uncontrollably in his body. Balthier pulled back from the kiss with a soft, approving smile.

"You're a fast learner, or have you kissed before?" he asked. Vaan opened his mouth to speak, but he struggled, then merely shook his head no in defeat. "Mmm, I thought so," Balthier said in an understanding and gentle way. "Do you want to continue?" he asked, squeezing Vaan's thigh softly. The young man nodded and moved back in eagerly for another kiss. Balthier kept his amusement inside, letting the young man kiss him sloppily with unpracticed tongue and lips in his exhilaration. It was the only way he was going to learn to kiss properly, so he let him have a go at it for a short time.

"Am I doing okay?" he asked, his face flushed pink when he pulled back.

"Practice, practice, and more practice," he answered, cupping Vaan's young face in his hands that fell into a soft frown. "Don't worry, you were doing well, but we'll work on it."

"But.."

"Next lesson," Balthier cut off his remark and Vaan closed his mouth to listen. "Is touch," he finished, running his fingers over the bare skin of Vaan's chest. The young man took a sharp intake of breath, then let it out slow as Balthier moved his fingertips over his flesh. "Touching in the right way can arouse," he explained in a soft caressing tone of voice, matching his hands ministrations. He circled Vaan's areolas with his fingers until the were hard nubs.

"Mnn...mmm," Vaan was biting on his bottom lip, holding back the sound of his pleasure the best that could. Balthier smirked, moving closer, flicking his tongue out to tease one of the hard nubs that he had created, taking the erect nipple into his mouth to suckle languidly. "Ahhh...aaaa...Ba...Balthier."

"I have to say, I like that you only wear this vest. Makes it easier to get to your supple body," Balthier purred, rolling his tongue across Vaan's sweat tangy skin to show the same attention to the other nipple. Another soft moan escaped his innocent, soon to be lover.

"I want...mnn...Can I... touch you?" Vaan asked shyly, panting softly with Balthier's incredible caresses. The older man looked up at him with a cheeky smile, and his face flushed a deeper shade of red.

"No need to ask," he said, then kissed his way up to Vaan's taunt neck. The young boy was shivering again, and it only aroused Balthier all the more. It had been a long time since he had the pleasure of a virgin. Too bad they had to do it in this dirty prison, but at least it was a pleasurable way to pass the time. "Have at it," he muttered against Vaan's ear, licking the lobe, sending another delicious quiver through his young heated body. Balthier moved away just enough so that Vaan could reach the clasps of his vest. Hasty and clumsy fingers worked them open with painfully slow progress, and Balthier found himself chuckling lightly again at his agitated eagerness.

"Sorry," Vaan mumbled, lightly biting his lip as he worked the last of the clasps open.

"It's alright. I think you'll find my shirt easier to open," he teased with light banter, moving in to give the nervous blonde another tender kiss to relax him. "Continue," he urged, nibbling on Vaan's bottom lip that was trembling. Taking a slow breath, Vaan worked open the buttons of his shirt, pushing it open when he was done. With unsure hands he touched the hard, compact muscle of Balthier's body.

It felt strange, but wonderful to be touching another so intimately. Soft sighs of approval from Balthier made him bolder, and Vaan copied the older man's actions, moving in to kiss and lick his muscled chest. Strong arms went around his body to pull him closer, and he let himself melt against the man's body. Somehow they managed to slid off the rock they were sitting on to lay on the dirt ground. His teeth scraped the hard nipple he was suckling on, and Balthier let out a pained hiss.

"I'm sorry," Vaan yelped, moving back with a frightened look on his face.

Balthier chuckled. "It's okay, Vaan. Sometimes a little pain can be....a good thing," he said, only seeming to confuse him. "Like this," he purred, pinching one of Vaan's nipples, making him hiss, but the expression on his face was of pure pleasure. "Do you see now?"

"Yes," he answered softly with a shy smile.

"Good. I think you're ready for more now," Balthier said, running his hand down Vaan's body, cupping the hard erection through his pants.

"Mmnn," he whimpered, jerking his hips into Balthier's massaging hand.

"So eager to learn," he smiled, unfastening Vaan's pants enough to snake his hand inside to pull his erection out. He grasped his stiff organ, giving it a soft tug, rolling his thumb around the cock head to smear the precum dribbling from the tip. "Shhhh," Balthier warned when Vaan's moans began getting increasingly louder.

"Sor...sorry," he managed, and moaned low again when Balthier's hand began stroking his leaking cock. He had only felt the pleasure of his own hand before now, and this was much better in comparison. Balthier's grip was strong and practiced, and he feared that he wasn't going to last long. He was pushed onto his back, and he closed his eyes, just enjoying the rhythmic motion on his shaft. He got another surprise when he felt wet heat surrounding the head of his cock, and his eyes snapped open to watch Balthier rolling his tongue around the head to lap up the precum.

"Don't worry, you'll get your chance," Balthier snickered when he saw Vaan watching with wide eyes. "But, it will be a lesson that will have to wait for next time. I fear we may not have much time left," Balthier said and went back to work, taking Vaan's cock into the depth of his mouth to give it a few slow sucks.

"What...ahhh...mn," Vaan whimpered, then sighed disappointingly when the pleasure he was feeling disappeared as his lover moved back up his body. Leather creaked as Balthier unfastened his pants to pull out his own neglected cock. Vaan eyed it with a mixture of fear and longing, and he slowly reached out to trace the length that was thicker than his own organ.

"Do you trust me, Vaan?" Balthier asked once again, looking down at the young man he was hovering over. After a moment of contemplating silence, the blonde nodded. "Relax, and lay on your side," Balthier said gently, moving as the young man shifted without questioning why. He tugged down on the waistband of Vaan's pants, pulling them down to his knees, and the blonde squirmed to help him. He took a moment to admire Vaan's naked backside, running his hand over the taunt skin of his ass, coaxing another whimper from him.

"Will it hurt?" Vaan whispered, and Balthier pressed himself against his back, kissing his shoulder to comfort him.

"A little at first, but just relax, and it will get much better," he said, pulling his own pants down enough to free himself completely. He stuck his fingers in his mouth, coating them with saliva. "Relax," he said again, sliding his slick fingers through the smooth crack until he found Vaan's entrance. He pushed one finger in, and the young man gasped, but didn't try to pull away.

It was a strange feeling, but not an unpleasant one as Balthier pumped his finger in and out of him. He bit back a hiss when a second finger joined the other, stretching his virgin hole for what was going to be a much larger vessel. Beads of sweat formed on his brow as he got used to the feel of this new sensation. He could feel Balthier's hot breath on his shoulder, and it sent a tremor through his body.

"Oh, Gods!" Vaan exclaimed when a sudden intense pleasure bolted through his body. Balthier had touched something down there, and it felt unlike anything he had experienced before.

"I think you're ready," Balthier breathed, nibbling his shoulder, and he pulled his fingers free. The young man moaned with the emptiness, but that would soon be remedied. He spit on his hand, then spread the saliva on his shaft. It wasn't much of a lubricant, but it would have to do. He hadn't been planning on this after all.

As gently as he could, he moved forward, pushing the head of his cock into the tight heat of Vaan's ass. The young man tensed, and let out a pained whimper. Balthier halted his progress, caressing Vaan's trembling body, muttering words of comfort until he relaxed again, getting used to the feel of being stretched.

"I'm okay," Vaan panted. "Keep going, please." Balthier's arm came around his body, and his hand encircled his cock to stroke. He was stretched when the man pushed further inside him, but the pain was already starting to fade as he had promised it would. The attention to his cock helped, but the spot inside him was hit again making him wail in pleasure.

"Shhh, you don't want anyone to hear, do you?" he said raggedly against Vaan's ear with harsh breaths as his thrusts increased. Vaan shook his head no with another whimpering moan. "Gods, you're tight," he growled deep in his throat, reveling in the caressing heat surrounding his cock.

"Mmmn, harder," Vaan begged, rocking back against Balthier's strong sweat covered body. He could feel that wave of gratification coming, and he couldn't stop his increasing moans that were escaping him once again. Balthier's hand that wasn't working his shaft came around to cover his mouth, muffling his cries of ecstasy. Balthier pounded into him with a hard thrust, and he screamed against his hand with the orgasm that overtook him.

Balthier felt the warm seed of his lover spilling over his hand, and the tightening of his inner muscles as they clenched around his cock. His own climax was close, and he pumped his hips faster, clamping his mouth on Vaan's sweaty shoulder to muffle his own increasing groans. His body stiffened when his seed was spent, and he let himself moan against the soft skin of Vaan's neck.

"Are you alright?" Balthier panted after they lay motionless in the afterglow.

"Yes," he said, his own breath slowly calming. Balthier pulled his softening cock from him, and Vaan sighed, feeling both relieved and disappointed at the same time. He felt the trickle of semen spilling down his thighs, but he didn't mind it.

"We should get cleaned up," Balthier said, shifting around to get to one of his pants pockets that had a cloth in it. They cleaned up quickly and straightened their clothes back up to wait for Fran's return, both remaining in a comfortable silence. She came back moments later, and Vaan was relieved that she hadn't shown up sooner.

"I've found an exit," Fran said, stepping over to them. "I would have told you sooner, but I didn't want to disturb your fun," she said plainly to Balthier before giving Vaan a knowing smile. He turned a bright red as his mouth dropped open with the shock. Balthier chuckled, patting him on the back and giving Fran a quick wink.

"Good show, Fran," he joked. "I'm sure Vaan appreciates that as much as I do. Don't you Vaan?" he asked with a smirk. If it was possible, his face got a brighter red as he was unable to speak, and he moved away to wait by the exit until they were ready to leave.

"Are you ready to go?" Fran asked softly.

"Of course....You could have joined us, love." Balthier said in a whisper as they walked toward where Vaan was waiting with his back turned.

"Next time perhaps," she purred, and quickened her steps to lead them to their escape. Balthier watched Vaan avoid her gaze as she passed him, and he chuckled at the sight.

"Still so much to learn," he said softly, following his two comrades out of the dungeon.
