Work Text:
The sheets and covers were disheveled — as if the bed was ever made — and two massive men slept on top of the mess, their half-nude bodies intertwined. Archie, the leader of Team Aqua, and his right-hand man, Matt.
This was a recurring scene for them on weekends. Archie was a very hardworking man, given that he was the head of the Aqua organization, but he made sure to prioritize weekends over everything. If he couldn’t say he accomplished anything in a week, he could at least say he spent a long night cuddled up with his best bro.
“Mornin’, Matty.” Archie wiggled his leg, which was trapped between Matt’s thighs.
“G’mornin’, bro.” Matt flexed his arm, which was trapped under Archie.
The two of them laid there, staring into each other’s eyes. Their eyes lazily blinked open and shut as they finished shedding the remnants of sleep off of them.
“Ya ready to start the day?” Archie asked.
“Nah, bro.” Matt pulled Archie against him. “I wanna lay here with you a little longer.”
Archie settled into Matt’s sweat-glazed body — one of the highlights of these moments. The feeling of their damp, bare skin touching. Coupled with the scent that followed. It put the Aqua leader in a state of bliss.
“Your beard tickles, bro.” Matt rumbled.
Archie chuckled. “I think it’s time for another trim. Beard’s losing his shape.”
“You should grow it out again, bro! You look really good with a big beard!”
Archie teetered his head back and forth, weighing his options. “I dunno…it’s been so long since I let it grow out. How ‘bout this? We trim it today, then leave it alone for a while.”
“Sounds good to me.” Matt said, then squeezed Archie tighter against him. “But I still need a few more minutes before we get up.”
_ _ _ _ _
Archie held the shower head, spraying Matt’s mountainous back, then lathering it up — Bluk Berry scented soap. Archie took his time. His sweet time. He admired all the hard ridges of muscle, the length of his shoulders, the way those shoulders relaxed to his touch.
“Yer gettin’ big.” Archie involuntarily said.
Matt rumbled with joy. “Thanks, bro. You’re getting big too.”
“Not as big as you.” Archie had snaked his hand under Matt’s arms and to his chest. “Yer huge~!”
Matt’s hand covered Archie’s and they both started to move in small circles. “You’ll be as big as me in no time, bro.”
They stood there for a moment. Pressed together. Swaying. Melting into each others’ touch.
“Want me to get your back, bro?” Matt asked.
Archie handed Matt the shower head then turned around. The space between them was quickly filled again as Matt’s massive body practically encased Archie. The Aqua leader loved being surrounded by his admin. Those strong arms. Those big pecs. That firm muscle gut.
“Yer s’posed to be washin’ my back.” Archie chuckled.
And Matt rumbled right behind him. “Sorry, bro. I got distracted.”
Matt pulled away and started lathering Archie’s back. He watched the suds roll down his leader’s back, down his muscled butt, then down the drain.
Archie was still, waiting for Matt’s hands to start moving again. “Ya still there, Matt?”
“Yeah.” Matt chuckled again. “Just admiring the view.”
Archie fell back against Matt. “Would ya rather touch it?”
“I would.” Matt growled.
Matt’s big palms moved along Archie’s pecs, down his abs, grazed his groin, then back up to his neck in a light grip. Archie softly moaned at the touches. Pleasure moved through his body – his stomach buzzing and his nipples silently begging to be touched again.
Matt’s hand dipped back down between Archie’s legs. And felt something a little harder than before.
“Getting excited there, bro?” Matt hummed.
Archie pushed his butt back against Matt, feeling the same hardness. “I’d say you are too~.”
“Do we have time for this?” Matt pushed Archie’s dick down, then let it spring up against his stomach.
“Nah. I don’t think we do.” Archie admitted, disappointment in his voice. “Maybe later tonight?”
“Alright, bro.” Matt’s hand then snaked up to Archie’s beard. “Can I wash him?”
The leader grabbed a bottle of shampoo. “Go right ahead.”
Matt hung the shower head above Archie’s head, letting the majority of the water come down the leader’s head. Matt squirted a wad of Poli’s Wrath shampoo into his hand, then plapped it into Archie’s beard – also moving some of the suds up to his low cut hair. The leader’s bushy beard quickly became a white mass of bubbles, and the scent that followed made Matt swoon.
“You smell…so good, bro…” Matt drooled.
Archie’s eyes fluttered shut with a moan stuck in his throat. “Right there…Right…there…”
Watching Archie in such bliss gave Matt equal satisfaction. “Ready for the conditioner, bro?”
Archie could only nod.
Matt washed the bubbles out of Archie’s hair. The bubbles were quickly replaced with a light blue, sudsy glaze. Archie let out an actual moan this time.
“Enjoying yourself, bro?” Matt laughed.
But Archie wasn’t joking. He was in pure ecstasy.
The conditioner softened Archie’s beard, allowing Matt to easily rake his thick digits through. The admin mushed and molded the beard into different shapes. A Mudkip. A Burmy. Kyogre.
“Yer the one who’s enjoying yerself.” Archie purred.
“Your beard is just so fun to play with, bro!” Matt gave him a few more neck scritches.
“Why don’t ya grow yers out too?”
Matt stroked his chinstrap. “I don’t think I could wear a beard like you, bro. This shit is beautiful.”
“Yer beautiful too! How about this? We both grow out our beards!”
Matt continued to play with Archie’s facial hair. “Let’s do it. Beard bros!”
“But first,” Archie rinsed the conditioner out of his beard, “I gotta do one last trim.”
_ _ _ _ _
Archie and Matt exited the bathroom together with a trail of steam behind them. They didn’t bother wearing their towels out since they’ve already seen every part of one another. They got dressed – Archie putting on his usual wetsuit, bandana, and gold chains.
Matt watched Archie the entire time. “You’re so put-together, bro.”
“Huh?” Archie was stroking the shape of his freshly-trimmed, triangular beard. He ironed out all of the wrinkles and bubbles of his wetsuit so it clung to his body like a second layer of skin. Finally, he adjusted his bandana so it was snug against his scalp.
“You always make sure you look your best when you leave.” Matt wrapped his hands around the leader. “I think it’s cute.”
Just like in the shower, and in the bed, they stood still, enjoying the lingering touch of their bodies.
“We gotta get to work, Matty...” Archie sighed. “We actually have a new grunt coming for orientation.”
“Yeah…I know…” Matt sighed back.
“I promise, tonight we’ll have more time.”
Matt peeled himself from Archie’s back. “I’m holding you to it, bro.”
“I love you, Matty.”
“I love you too, bro.”
