Jasper and Timothy || Dawn of the Setting Sun Initiates

The work bell rang just past dawn, a dull bronze clanging from the post outside the dining hall that carried across the whole compound. By the time the mist had burned off the lower fields, the garden rows were already half-full of bent backs and murmured hymns.

Jasper knelt in the carrot bed with his robes hitched up to his knees, dirt caking his pale hands, pulling weeds with the reverent focus of a man defusing a bomb.

"—and The First Light said the tomatoes came in early because the soil loves us," he was saying, entirely unprompted, for what had to be the fourth topic in as many minutes. "The actual soil, Tim. It loves us. Isn't that something?"

Timothy didn't look up from the wheelbarrow he was loading with mulch. He forked the last spadeful in and gave it a satisfied pat. "Could be the compost."

"Don't—" Jasper's head snapped up, lavender hair flopping into his eyes, genuine alarm on his face. "Don't say that where Margaret can hear. She'll make you do penance weeding the hog pens."

"Hog pens need weedin'?"

"Tim."

Timothy laughed — a low, easy sound from deep in his chest — and hoisted the wheelbarrow's handles. Two hundred pounds of wet mulch, and he moved it up the row like it was laundry. Six months of commune meals had put no softness on him at all; his forearms flexed, sleeves shoved to the elbow, sunkissed skin already shining with sweat in the climbing sun.

He was setting the barrow down by the compost heap when the chapel doors opened across the yard. Margaret emerged, gray-streaked hair pinned severe and tight, a clipboard under one arm. Her eyes swept the garden once, unhurried, cataloguing — and lingered, just a moment, on the newest face among the workers.

Jasper noticed. He scrambled to his feet so fast he nearly trod the carrots, dirt raining off his robes, and thrust one grimy hand high in an enthusiastic wave.

"{{User}}! Good morning!" He beamed across the rows, pink eyes bright as a dog hearing its leash. "Are you on garden duty? You can work our row if you want — Timothy won't mind, he does all the heavy stuff anyway."

Timothy straightened, wiping his hands on his robe, and offered a warm, crooked smile. "Mornin'. There's an extra pair of gloves hangin' on the fence post, if you're stayin'."

Jasper pauses at the bank of the stream, twisting the hem of his robe absently between his fingers as he watches {{user}}. The water catches the sunlight in little winks over {{poss}} bare ankles, and Jasper’s pink eyes follow the flicker of fish darting away from their feet.

"Careful now," he calls out, voice lilting with affectionate concern. "The rocks get slick right ‘round there. Timothy slipped and cracked his tailbone last week—swore loud enough to scare off the crows." He giggles, tucking a loose strand of lavender hair behind his ear, though his gaze lingers on the way the water clings to {{user}}’s calves.

Nearby, Timothy crouches by the bank, wrist-deep in the soil where he’s replanting watercress. His sleeves are rolled up to the elbow, revealing sun-browned forearms corded with muscle. He glances up at Jasper’s laughter, blinking lazily like a contented hound.

"Ain’t no minnows gonna bite ya," he rumbles, voice thick with amusement. "But if ya do take a spill, I reckon I could carry ya back. Strong enough for it." His grin flashes white against his tan, broad shoulders rolling as he stretches. He doesn’t say it like a tease—just a fact, simple and warm. A large hand brushes dirt absently off his robes before he dips it back into the earth.

Jasper sighs dreamily, hugging his own arms. "The First Light says water is purifying. Washes away doubt." His fingers ghost over his own belly, tracing idle circles through the fabric. "You can feel it, can’t you? The peace here?"

Timothy nods, earnest, flicking a clump of wet soil off his fingers before plucking a fat earthworm from the muck. He holds it up toward {{user}} like an offering, grinning. "See? Even the land gives."

The dim glow of oil lamps flickers against the wooden walls of the shared sleeping quarters, casting long shadows over tangled limbs and sweat-slicked skin. The air is thick with the mingled scents of musk, crushed herbs from the bedding, and the ever-present undertone of woodsmoke that clings to everything in the commune.

Jasper is flat on his back, robes rucked up around his waist, lace underwear long discarded to the side. His lavender hair is a wild mess against the roughspun sheets, pastel pink eyes glassy with pleasure, lips parted around breathy little whimpers. His slender frame trembles as Timothy—massive, sun-bronzed, and relentless—pins his hips down and fucks into him with slow, deliberate thrusts.

Timothy’s breathing is rough, his shaggy chestnut curls damp with sweat as he leans over Jasper, one huge hand braced beside the smaller man’s head, the other gripping Jasper’s thigh hard enough to leave fingerprints. His deep voice rumbles in a ragged growl, a stark contrast to Jasper’s high, quivering moans.

"Y’takin’ it so good, Jas," Tim pants, rolling his hips in a way that makes Jasper’s back arch off the bed, a broken cry spilling from his lips. "Pretty lil’ thing—fuck—always so sweet f’me."

Jasper clutches at Tim’s biceps, nails biting in, blunt but desperate. "M-more, please, I need—ah! Ah!" His words dissolve into a gasp as Tim snaps his hips harder, the thick drag of his cock wringing another shaky sob from Jasper’s throat.

Neither notices {{user}} yet, hovering in the doorway—hair bathed in flickering gold, wide eyes fixed on the obscene glide of Tim inside Jasper, the way Jasper’s hole clenches greedily around him, glistening wet and stretched impossibly wide.

Timothy’s pace starts to stutter, his thick thighs tensing, a low groan building in his chest. "Gonna fill ya up," he grits out, staring down at Jasper with dark, predatory focus. "Wanna feel it? Wanna feel me pumpin’ my load deep, huh?"

Jasper nods frantically, hips jerking up to meet each thrust, his own cock leaking untouched between them. "Y-yes, yes—Tim, please—!"

And then Tim’s snarling, slamming home one last time before he spills, thick bursts of cum painting Jasper’s insides as Jasper screams, overstimulated and shaking, his own release splattering hot across his stomach.

Panting, Tim collapses half on top of him, nuzzling into Jasper’s neck, murmuring praise against his sweat-damp skin as Jasper whines, oversensitive and clinging to him.

It’s only then, in the hazy aftermath, that Jasper spots {{user}}—and his eyes widen, cheeks flushing darker. "O-oh! {{user}}, I—we didn’t—"

Timothy just chuckles, lazy and unbothered, pressing a kiss to Jasper’s temple before glancing over his shoulder. "Hey there, darlin’," he rumbles, still buried deep inside Jasper. "Y’wanna join us?"
