A Friend In Need
Gaige had not experienced true concern for a long time. In all of the years that he had worked at the repair station, Syren never missed a single shift. So it was strange enough that his work partner had failed to be there for three consecutive days.
Syren was good at their job, easily one of the best. An elite in that neck of the star system. If anyone at the station was dealing with a particularly troublesome craft, they would be the one to come along and know the exact course of action. It was almost scary sometimes. Annoying at others.
They were a talented, devoted mechanic and quick to snatch up any overtime. But there was such a thing as being too married to a job and Gaige figured that Syren was finally paying the price. A little sickness might inspire them to slow down.
That was until he was approached by his boss on day three and told that Syren would be on sick leave for the next little while. Sarah couldn't give any details other than that they would be leaving for Nynryllad in the morning. Gaige felt his stomach drop then; whatever this was, it was bad enough that Syren was going home.
There was no way that Gaige was letting them go without answers. Without at least seeing them. Not when they could die of whatever illness they had on their homeworld and never return. His heart took up an anxious rhythm as he walked to the worker's quarters after his shift.
Gaige blew past the entrance to his own room and stopped at Syren's a few doors down. He was instantly knocking on the cool metal. There was no answer for long enough that an image of Syren splayed unconscious on the floor sprang to mind. But the door finally slid open, revealing the tall alien with a slightly pain-pinched face.
They leaned with one hand on the door frame; not with their whole weight, but certainly bracing themself. Their amber, feline eyes lightened somewhat.
"Hm...room service?" Syren said far too casually. They were shirtless, sweat dotting their neck and chest.
"Syren, what is going on?" Gaige pleaded, severely not in the mood.
"I guess I should have expected you. Come in?" Syren offered, gesturing back into the room with a tilt of their head.
Gaige followed them inside. He paused just inside the door, watching Syren make their way to the bed. Their pace was slow and they moved while curled slightly over their abdomen; which looked noticeably swollen when they turned to sit on the edge of the mattress.
"Are you hurt?" Gaige asked.
Syren huffed. "Just my pride."
"Please, I'm just trying to understand. Sarah said you're taking sick leave. What for? How bad is this?"
"It's nothing to get yourself all twisted over," Syren said with a dismissive wave of their four-fingered hand. "I'm just going for a routine procedure."
"Proce—surgery?" Gaige's shoulders sagged. "That sounds exactly like something to get 'twisted' over."
"Routine surgery. Just...embarrassing that it's come to it."
"What do you mean?"
"I...need to get my eggs removed."
"Eggs." Gaige blinked. "You're pregnant? Who—?"
Syren chuckled. "You know, asshole, I have offered to explain the anatomy of my species to you before. No. No, I'm not pregnant. Nynryll bodies make unfertilized eggs that need to come out at the end of the month whether to make kits or not and it kind of slipped my mind. I'm dealing with a two-month backup and...coaxing them out myself is impossible at this point."
It was a lot of information for Gaige to process and his face heated once he came to its conclusion.
"By 'coaxing'," he began. Syren looked him in the eye and he suddenly had to clear his throat. "You mean...?"
"Jerking off," Syren supplied plainly.
"Oh."
"Yeah, 'oh'. Or lack thereof in this case."
The silence was unbearable.
"So...you can't get yourself off. That's the problem?" Gaige finally asked.
Syren nodded. "Because of the backup, everything's too sensitive. I get weak just from touching myself and have to stop before I get there...hence the surgery."
Gaige stared at Syren, initially surprised at how openly they spoke of their...personal sessions. But the way their legs shifted didn't escape his notice. Or the way their hands kept absently tracing over their upper thighs, drawing back from travelling between them as if suddenly remembering that Gaige was there.
It hit him at once was Syren was experiencing. Discomfort, but also something else undeniable. They were horny. He could only imagine; unintentionally edging themself for days trying to get rid of those eggs. An endless loop of unsatisfied desperation. Something stirred inside Gaige and a question burst out of him before he could think about stopping it.
"What if you had help?"
"Maybe. But I don't have a partner," Syren said. "On the station or elsewhere. And I doubt anyone here would be willing to—."
"Me," Gaige interjected. "What if, uh, what if I helped you?"
One of Syren's long ears twitched. "You'd do that?"
"I...yeah, I would. So long as you'll have me," Gaige said.
Syren sat back on their hands, looking intrigued. They seemed to study the human before them and turn over his proposition in their head. Gaige's eyes roamed their lithe, grey-toned body and his heart began to pound as exactly what he had just offered sunk in.
He had never thought about Syren this way until that moment, but their stark need was unquestionably exciting him. A desire to touch, explore, and help outmatched any reservations. Whether it was the fact that he hadn't seen any action for a while or something else entirely, he silently begged them to want him for this.
A smile spread over Syren's features.
"Worth a shot. Better with someone cute, but you'll do," they teased.
"Watch your mouth or I'm out of here," Gaige warned, relaxing with an easy grin.
"Put yours to use and I won't kick you out," Syren said, their hands going to their waistband.
They removed their thin, loose-fitting pants and tossed them to the foot of their bed. Half-lidded, burning ember eyes met Gaige's as their legs spread invitingly. After only a moment's hesitation, he closed the short distance to kneel on the floor between them. His hands lighted on Syren's thighs and he drank in the enticing sight before him.
Gaige knew one thing about the Nynryll. They were all the same sex, each possessing both breeding capabilities. He just hadn't thought to any length what that might entail. It wasn't as if the alien's junk had ever been a consideration before. But now, he was face to face with it.
Syren had a grey, hairless slit, but there was also a sheath at the top of it; a ring of flesh surrounding the tip of what was likely their ovipositor. The round bud throbbed hard and fast, clear fluid glistening in the tight space between it and the inner edge of the sheath. The pulse of it was mesmerizing, seemingly the epicentre of the waves of erotic twitching visibly travelling through their pussy.
"It's been doing that for days," Syren said. "Can't exactly come into work with that...distraction." Their legs spread a bit further as they heaved a heavy sigh. "Fuck, I need this."
A bead of slick escaped the sheath and dripped down over Syren's slit. Gaige swallowed and leaned in to catch it with his tongue, tracing back over its path. The reaction was instant. Syren jolted, a quavering keen escaping them.
Gaige jerked away. "Sorry! Was that too—?"
A trembling hand descended onto the back of his head, digging into his hair and pulling him back towards them.
"Keep going...I'm fine," Syren said. Their voice was breathy and bordering on frantic. They jutted their hips forward, legs shaking.
Gaige nodded and delved back in. He built up slowly, mindful of how overly-sensitive Syren already was. But he couldn't stop himself for long from getting greedy; the scent and sheer heat they were giving off drove him to it. He mouthed and sucked at their folds, lapping through suddenly excessive fluids that leaked down his chin.
Syren moaned as Gaige all but devoured their pussy. The hand gripping his hair fell away to rest limply on the nape of his neck. He stayed close and buried his face into soft, wet flesh. His tongue found the tip of Syren's ovipositor, sliding shallowly into the sheath as he swirled around it.
"There...there...more," Syren encouraged, panting and tremulous.
Gaige obliged, closing his lips around the rapidly throbbing tip and instantly feeling more slick flooding into his mouth from the sheath. He groaned. Syren's body was so responsive and he loved it.
Not pausing his mouthy affections, Gaige brought two fingers to Syren's pussy. He prodded the folds until he found their dripping hole. It took him with ease. He found a pulsating, engorged-feeling bulb inside as he bottomed out to the knuckles. Whatever it was, Syren jolted and cried out the second he touched it. Aiming for it, he began to pump his fingers in and out.
