Chapter 5 - awkward first times (Odin)

Odin is rambling worse than usual, probably trying to cover up just how nervous he is that they’re actually going through with this. It’s going to be the first time for both of them, though their relationship has thus far been filled with a lot of firsts. Their relationship isn’t even public yet, because neither of them is quite sure how they want to go about telling people, most of all her brother. Odin is certain that Leo is going to kill him for this, and maybe he will, though Corrin assures him that she wouldn’t let that happen.

Tonight, they’re finally going to take things a little bit further, but she can hardly get a word in edgewise. He’s selected some story she can barely make sense of, going on and on about some alleged legendary adventures across time itself, and she knows that he’s just doing this because he doesn’t know what else to say, and if he’s quiet for too long, then they’ll have to face what it is that they’ve actually set out to do.

Corrin just wants him to shut up, though she means that in the most endearing way possible. As much as she doesn’t mind his antics under normal circumstances, she’s afraid that she’ll lose her nerve if they don’t get on with it soon. She doesn’t know much about what to do in a situation like this, and every vague idea she has about trying to move things along seems far too extreme. Or maybe she’s just too shy for this too.

“And so, it was with the greatest skill ever seen by man that I was forced to…” He just keeps going, though his gestures are less dramatic than usual and he isn’t looking directly at her.

I guess I should just go for it… she thinks, trying to steel herself for it. She only has one idea and she thinks it’s far too forward, but it isn’t as if she has anything else in mind. If this is going to happen, she has to go through with it.

Odin starts to trail off when he notices her dropping to the ground, but he tries to regain his focus, as if nothing’s happened. She has to admire his dedication to his act, but it isn’t making this any easier for her. His clothes are hard to figure out, and she knows he’s just ignoring her at this point, stammering his way through a recollection of some epic battle, but she perseveres.

“A-and, and I was...fearlesss enough to- to…” At the very least, it’s easy to tell that he’s into this, considering how hard he is, so, once she has his clothes enough out of the way, she takes a deep breath and parts her lips, and he lets out a strangled yelp as she takes him into her mouth, his story finally falling silent.

She decides that it doesn’t matter if she’s immediately good at this or not, just as long as he enjoys himself, but it isn’t so hard to pick up on, or at least it doesn’t seem that way. Her tongue rolls along while she takes her time bringing him deeper, not wanting to gag herself when she’s barely begun. Odin is completely speechless, reduced only to soft, incoherent moans, and this might be the quietest Corrin has ever heard him be. She has to take a little bit of pride in her ability to render someone like him speechless, and when he grips the back of her head, she leans forward, taking him even deeper.

If she keeps it up for too long, she isn’t sure how he’s going to hold up, considering it’s his first time. Pulling back, she looks up at him expectantly, and finally, he speaks up, breathless. “That’s...I...that’s really nice.”

“You like it?” she asks. “We can do more, if you want.”

“I’m sorry that I was…” He waves a hand, looking embarrassed, and this is the most serious she’s ever seen him. “I’m really not used to any of this.”

“It’s alright,” she says. “I’m not either, you know?”

“Well, I can assure you that with time, I can conquer even this!” Despite the bravado in his voice, he still wears a sheepish smile. “But I don’t really know what to do next?”

So she goes to her bed and lays back, having him join her and trying to help him figure this part out. At least she knows what to do to herself, so she has some idea of what he should do to her, though it takes him a bit to get the hang of fingering her. At first, he messes up his pacing, and she winces whenever he does anything that hurts.

“I’m doing this all wrong, aren’t I?”

“It's alright,” she says, “you're getting better!”

She guides him, until he has the hang of it, until she thinks she's ready for more, and then, he climbs on top of her. He looks down at her with uncertainty in his eyes, but when she smiles up at him, she watches that all melt away. Odin doesn't say another word as he gets closer to her, and he holds her close as first begins to push inside of her.

She can't deny that it hurts a bit, but she never would have imagined he could be this slow and gentle. Even as she struggles to adjust, he never takes things faster than she can handle, until he fits himself inside with a soft groan. Corrin wraps her arms around him, relaxing into it slowly but surely. When he hesitates, she is the one who begins to move her hips, setting the pace for the both of them, and Odin is more than happy to follow along.

For a first time, she thinks it’s not so bad at all. Things are awkward, and it’s taking a lot of getting used to, but once she is used to it, she likes it, and she can understand what the big deal is about. Especially if it’s supposed to get better for her every time she does it. Odin reaches his climax first, unsurprisingly, and he nearly collapses on top of her at he cries out for her.

Corrin holds him, running her hands through his hair as he catches his breath. He’s quiet for a while, but when he finally speaks up, he says, “That was amazing, never in my life...my lady, you’ve managed to leave Odin Dark at a loss for words!”
She doesn’t make mention of the fact that he’s less speechless now than he was, and just smiles and says, “I’m glad that was good.”

“But wait!” He gasps, looking up at her. “You didn’t...oh man, I’m so sorry! That was too quick, wasn’t it? I promise, I’ll pay you back for it! Don’t you worry about a thing, I’ll make sure...I mean, I give you a solemn vow! Your good deeds will be repaid, on my life!”

“Hey, there’s nothing to worry about,” she murmurs. “We’ve got all night for this, remember?”

~X~

The next day, they end up oversleeping due to their late activities. They don’t know that there are others looking for them, or for Odin in particular, and as they remain curled up in each other’s arms, even the sounds of surprise that Leo and Niles make upon discovering them aren’t enough to wake them.
