[ Intention or not, it's where they have found themselves. Geralt minds not at all. He has spent most of his days, weeks, holding himself together. And he can, he's fine. He's been here before; he knows how to push on. The world stops for no one. He's picked up his sword again, relearned it in his hands after too long not training with it. Next week, he'll take Roach out for a simple contract. Find his footing once more.
But in the spaces where the night is quietest, he can admit he wants to find a reason to pause. To let himself feel the weight of everything and sit with it and be all right with how much what happened still burrows under his skin. That's what Jaskier is offering him. So he's taking it. A small moment where he need not continually move forward. He can lay here and indulge in the light brush of lips over his skin, and want nothing else but this.
A sharp inhale comes when he feels Jaskier ease inside. It burns; then a warmth. Jagged edges of pleasure prick their way up his spine. His fingers dig into the pillows. He sinks into the teasing, steady strokes. Eventually, though: ]
Jaskier. [ Demanding and wanting all at once—for what becomes clear when he reaches back, twists a bit so he can drag Jaskier down to kiss him. ]
