Carmen's an attention seeker. He has been since he was a kid. There's no particular reason, sometimes he's just craving a reaction from someone. If he's feeling especially needy, he'll act out more than he should, cross lines that shouldn't be crossed. His baseball manger back in high school was his first time getting in trouble from his acts of attention.
It's easy, he found out at only 17 years old. Coaxing older men to buy him things if he shows a little skin.
Carmen had more money than he knew what to do with, but the thrill of it got to him, made him want to see how far he could go before he was properly punished.
He's mellowed out a lot more in college, the urges coming far and few between, but if he's feeling especially needy, he seeks out Nico and Juda. Even if he doesn't know it himself, he prefers their attention over anyone else's.
Carmen's knee dips into Juda's bed as he pulls out the catchers earbud. "What're you doing?"
Juda's head tilts towards him, eyebrow raising. His heavy stare asks if Carmen's serious, before he's nodding his chin towards his laptop. His movie is paused, barely halfway through. "What does it look like, Car?"
Carmen doesn't even glance at the screen. "Can I watch too?" Juda scoots over and it's the only invitation Carmen needs to slip in bed beside him. They lay over the covers, the weather too hot to cover up. "What movie is it?"
"Some romance drama. Nico told me to watch it."
Unsurprisingly, Carmen grows bored within minutes. The movie isn't all that interesting. He's able to piece together everything that already happened from the five minutes he forces himself to pay attention to. The ending is clear too.
He doesn't get the appeal to this genre, or at least doesn't understand why Nico's so obsessed with it. It's sappy in the worst ways, making him want to cringe at every other word. The acting is good, but romance has never really been his thing. He prefers comedies and actions. Bonus if it has both.
A breathy moan gains his attention, eyes filtering back towards the screen. His interest peaks when the lead actress is slowly undressed by the male's hands, seemingly large on the small of her waist. He takes his time, mumbling sweet nothings into her neck as he nudges a leg between her thighs. Her head tips against the wall, another breathy moan falling from her lips at the smallest touch.
It's all sickeningly sweet.
Carmen's interest is quickly lost.
His gaze subtly trails to Juda. He looks exactly the same since he shared his other earbud with Carmen and pressed play. Neither interested nor uninterested, he seems to be watching just to pass the time. The sudden s*x scene doesn't seem to make him any more interested than the rest of the movie.
"I didn't think you liked movies like this."
Juda's gaze is unmoving, watching the actress' t**s spill from her bra. "It's okay, not really my thing, though. I'm only watching it for Nico."
Carmen's a lot more interested in Juda, only sparing a small glance at her t**s. They're nice, he thinks for a moment, fitting perfectly in the male's hands. "It's kinda sappy, don't you think?"
Juda finally looks at him. "The movie or the s*x?"
"All of it." He must've said something funny, because Juda's lip twitches up as he looks back towards his laptop. "What? You don't think so?"
"The movie's pretty sappy." Juda agrees. "But this," he gestures toward the screen, sounds of passionate kissing spilling into their ears, "is pretty normal."
Carmen almost feels disbelief. Sure, he can admit, the s*x itself seems pretty standard, but it's so unrealistic and sappy. He's unsure how the writers were able to string so much bullshit and compliments into one sentence. "Really? You'd take a girl to bed and go on and on about how much her body is a temple?"
"The writing's definitely.. a lot, but it's just a few praises. You don't compliment your partners in bed?" Juda turns the volume down two notches, suddenly more interested in Carmen than the underwear sliding down the actress' thighs. It's a pink thong.
"Not like that. They're just one night stands, I'm not trying to declare my love for them."
"Okay, but say you were in love like them. You wouldn't pamper your partner like this?"
Carmen barely has to think about it. "Like this? God, no. It's way too cringey."
Juda's eyes flick to him, naturally hooded. "Seriously?" he chuckles. It's quiet and low, barely audible over the movie. Carmen thinks he likes the sound. "I get a one night stand, but not even for someone you love?"
"It's just.. unnecessary. Why do I need to recite an entire essay while trying to sleep with someone? Actually pampering them with your body does more than words." Carmen brushes his hair back, feeling an unnecessary need to defend himself. "Wouldn't you rather take care of them instead?"
"Why not both? He's doing too much talking," Juda agrees, nodding towards the laptop. "But praise is nice during sex."
"Hm? You like being praised?"
It's not exactly what Juda was getting at, but, "Sure, I wouldn't mind." His arm slings around Carmen's shoulder, fingertips lightly grazing his chest. "But I was thinking more of praising someone. You're a switch, yeah? You never tell your boys how good they're doing? I can't really speak for women, but bottoming isn't that easy."
There's no explanation for how flustered Carmen is slowly growing. Of course he praises his boys, he praises all of his partners in fact, he just doesn't declare his love while he's balls deep inside them. He goes to tell Juda just this, but the younger continues, "What about when someone goes down on you? You tell them how well they take your d**k, right? Or how pretty they look while sucking your c**k?"
Juda glances at him, "Unless you just sit there."
And Carmen scowls. "Of course I don't just sit there." There's heat rising up his neck. It tickles his ears and threatens to stain his cheeks. "Just- watch the movie."
"I'm curious now." Juda's fingertips rub into Carmen's chest, so soft it's almost unnoticeable, but Carmen's hyperaware of Juda pressed into him. He feels every drag and press of his fingers, unsure if the attention is unwanted or if his body is silently begging for more. "Nico told me something funny last night."
Carmen barely hears him, eyes focused on Juda's hand. "Yeah?"
A soft hum, "Mhm. Told me that you two kissed," he drawls. Carmen immediately pauses, mind flashing back to last night on the field. Nico and him never discussed when they'd talk to Juda, but he definitely didn't think Nico would do it on his own and not tell him. The entire day, Juda showed no signs of knowing. "Nico plays around a lot so I thought he was just messing with me, y'know? But no, he was completely serious."
Carmen's silent for a moment. "Yeah, we kissed." He almost wants to be bratty and go so? But the urge is barely suppressed.
"I already knew you were a voyeur, but an exhibitionist too? You're a lot kinkier than I thought you were."
"I'm neither," Carmen stresses. "It just.. happened."
"Oh I know it happened. Nico told me all about it." His hand trails up, fingertips teasing the neckline of Carmen's shirt. "I was definitely surprised. I thought it was just one of those things we thought about but never said aloud, y'know?" Almost as an afterthought, he adds, "this is nice too, though."
He's thought about it, Carmen clings onto the casual confession. How much has he thought about it? How long? "I was going to tell you. Nico and I were supposed to do it together."
"You were going to ask me, yeah?" Juda corrects. Carmen resists pressing his lips in a thin line. Nico really told him everything. "Nico never asked me, so you can."
Carmen looks away, unable to explain the unwelcome shyness he feels. "If you already know, there's no point asking you."
"Mm?" A soft drawl. "How am I supposed to know what you're talking about if you don't ask me? We could be talking about two completely different things."
There's that heat again. It warms his ears and slowly creeps onto his cheeks. "You know what I mean, asshole." But it's useless, Juda pokes and pokes and teases Carmen until he finally spits out, "Do you want me to spell it out? Huh? Should I write a note that asks if you wanna be friends with benefits?" His tone is nothing but aggressive, and it makes Juda chuckle, thinking Carmen's little outburst was adorable.
"Friends with benefits?" He feigns surprise. "Twist my arm, I'll do it."
"You're such an ass." Carmen rolls his eyes. Stealing a glance at the screen, he notices the s*x scene is long over, showing the next morning instead. It's sickeningly sweet of course, waking up in each other's arms with breakfast in bed waiting.
Juda notices his distasteful stare. "You really hate affection that much?" He huffs in amusement. "Does cuddling repulse you?"
"It's not that." Carmen's gaze tears from the movie, focusing on Juda instead. "It's just.. too sweet, I guess. I don't like lovey dovey stuff."
"What're you gonna do when you get in a relationship, huh? Call them names all the time?"
Carmen blinks. "..Yes?" That's exactly what he planned to do, actually.
Juda immediately believes him. "You're unbelievable. What girl is going to be okay with you calling them an asshole all the time?"
"Maybe not all the time. I just prefer a playful relationship over that." His hand waves towards the overly sappy display of affection on the screen.
Juda suddenly sits up and sets his laptop to the side. The movie was just nearing the end, which Carmen can only assume would be a wedding or a long walk along the beach where the male lead proposes. "You weren't hugged enough as a kid," Juda decides as he sets the earbuds to the side. "You need practice."
"Practice?" Carmen asks in disbelief, but he can't say Juda's wrong about his childhood. "You wanna practice hugging?"
"No, I don't have enough time for that. You just gotta carry that baggage, sorry." Juda immediately dismisses. "I'm gonna go down on you, though."
Carmen blinks, then blinks twice more. "Like..?"
"Yeah."
His mind goes positively blank. This is all happening so fast, he thinks, first Nico and now Juda. A pleasant buzz starts in his stomach before slowly spreading to the rest of his body. If he knew he could've just kissed the two of them to lead to all of this, he would've done it ages ago.
⚾️
Kissing Juda is different than Nico, Carmen learns.
Nico was pliant and so, so sensitive to his touch. It was cute, the way he leaned into the kiss while silently begging for more. He followed Carmen's lead as though he didn't know what to do with himself, and Carmen was more than willing to lead him.
Carmen's unsure why he expected his kiss with Juda to go the same, but he quickly finds it's quite the opposite. He feels a lot like Nico as he lays under Juda, only able to react with breathy sighs as Juda leads the kiss. It's natural, the rolls they fall into, but still surprising.
Carmen's not used to being on bottom.
It's not new, but not entirely familiar either.
He finds himself enjoying the unfamiliarity of it all. Anticipation buzzes through his body, waiting for the moment where they take it past kissing and Carmen gets to learn more and more. His taste - Juda tastes like the cherry coke that's sitting on their shared desk. It's not what Carmen expected, but he craves more - wonders if Juda can taste it on him.
Carmen exhales softly, head tipping back against the pillows. Staring at the efforts of their kiss, he reaches out and rubs his thumb into Juda's lip. The shine of spit is slowly rubbed away, but it's more of an excuse to touch. Because he's allowed to do that now - touch.
Making out in bed is different than a baseball field, he quickly finds out. The moon acting as their only source of light, it feels more intimate huddled in Juda's bed. If he listens hard enough, he's able to hear laughter coming from down the hall, but he can somehow only hear his own gentle breaths and Juda's quiet exhales.
Just because he can, he leans up and kisses Juda again. And Juda's right there to lead the kiss, coaxing Carmen's lips apart. He's rewarded with a sweet moan, one only Juda's meant to hear.
Fingers slide along Carmen's jaw, tipping the blond's head up to deepen their kiss, and Carmen reacts so well, legs naturally falling open as Juda slots himself between them. Carmen's thighs hug his sides, pulling him even closer. Juda's barely able to resist turning him over and f*****g him right here and now.
Juda pulls back until only a whisper of space hangs between them. He can feel the shadow of Carmen's lips on his, cruelly tempting him. "Should we take this off?" His hand pushes past the hem of Carmen's hoodie, warm heat of his skin welcoming Juda. "You must be hot."
Carmen agrees with a soft hum. He is hot.
Hoodie off and set aside, the moon casts a gentle glow on his defined chest and stomach, showing the carefully crafted muscle he's built over the years. He's not buff, doesn't like that type of body shape for himself, but lean instead.
"What was it you said?" Juda's gaze tears from his body, focusing up. "Worship your body like a temple?"
"Don't you dare."
"I don't know.." Juda trails off with a sigh. "Seems like it needs quite a lot of praise to me."
To hide how flustered he's getting, Carmen reaches out and pulls on the band of Juda's sweats. "Take them off."
"Can't," he denies, spreading Carmen's thighs apart. His gaze is greedy, taking in every inch of skin he can. "I promised I'd go down on you." His eyes playfully flick up, accusingly. "Are you trying to distract me? It's honestly working."
Carmen's lips twitch up despite himself. His thumbs hook on his shorts, hips lifting to push them down. Juda throws them off to the side after they're down on Carmen's ankle. "A promise is a promise." He offers his body out with a teasing, sultry stare as if saying come get it.
Juda stares long and hard, taking in the new sight. "Commando? You just keep on surprising me." It's a pleasant surprise, the lack of underwear Carmen's wearing.
"I don't like wearing shorts and boxers," he explains - can't have Juda thinking he goes commando all the time. "Feels like I'm just wearing two pairs of boxers."
"No need to explain it to me," Juda assures, hands spreading along Carmen's thighs. "I'm all for the cause."
Idiot, Carmen thinks fondly.
Juda handles him like he promised - slow and gentle, worshipping the lines of his body with hot, open mouthed kisses. The sappy praises go left unsaid, but it's etched into his body - his heavy stare and lips dragging over Carmen's thighs say it all.
It has Carmen's legs falling open a little more, his mind melting into a different head space. He likes how Juda's watching him as though he's a piece of art. He doesn't follow the look, don't touch rule, but Carmen hardly blames him. He barely resists reaching out to touch Juda himself.
It doesn't take much to get Carmen hard and leaking from his tip. Juda's hand just so happens to be perfect for jerking off. He works Carmen's c**k slowly at first, stroking from base to tip in long, deep strokes that have the blond moaning softly.
His eyes flutter with pleasure as Juda's thumb rubs into his tip. Sensitivity pricks his stomach, but his c**k craves the intoxicating feeling, hips raising to f**k into Juda's hand, and Juda's just so willing to please, rewarding Carmen with unimaginable feelings of pleasure.
"Is this what you did to Nico?" Carmen's hooded eyes shift down. Juda's watching him attentively, hand slowly jerking him off. It's slick now, Carmen's precum leaking onto his palm and making the drag unbearably good. "Did he look as good as you do?"
Carmen gives a breathless huff, "Better."
"Yeah?"
"Mhm." A soft hum, "He was real cute. He's usually so loud, y'know?" A quiet exhale, "But he was so sensitive. I was barely touching him and he was a moaning mess." Carmen's c**k twitches just from the memory of taking Nico apart until he finally tipped over the edge and came in his hand. "Yeah, real cute."
Juda imagines it himself and his c**k pulses. There's that urge again, almost a desperate need to be inside Carmen. He waits, of course. He can't give up watching Carmen slowly fall apart for his own pleasure - thinks he could get off on watching Carmen like this, actually.
"Did you tell him that? How cute he looked."
Carmen nudges Juda's knee. "'Course, who do you think I am? I told you I don't just sit there."
And Juda chuckles, wondering how Carmen could still be bratty when he's leaking so much in Juda's hand. "I wasn't sure. You've been a little quiet since we started."
Carmen's gaze is heavy, dark eyes settling on Juda's. He sits up, palms pressing into the mattress, and levels the catcher with a teasing expression. "Oh? That's my bad. You want a little praise, huh?" Head tilting, he says, "Maybe you should actually do what you promised and I will."
"Yeah, yeah," Juda chuckles and gently pushes Carmen back down. He lands on his back with a quiet noise. "You're such a brat."
Proving his words true, Carmen's thighs spread in invitation, eyebrows raising. Go on then, his body says.
And who is Juda to refuse?
He goes down on Carmen like he already knows his body - perfect pressure, precise timing, and an unbearably godly mouth. "Fuck." Carmen sucks in a sharp breath when Juda hooks his leg over his shoulder and takes his c**k in his mouth.
His mouth falls open in a moan, not expecting the warm heat that engulfs his d**k. The pleasure immediately washes over him, incomparable to the previous handjob.
"You're suddenly a lot more vocal."
"Shut up and suck."
"Yes, sir~" Juda teases before taking Carmen's c**k right back in his mouth where it belongs.
Juda actually likes sucking d**k. Likes the fullness in his mouth and knowing someone's coming apart from his tongue alone. He's sure it shows, considering the string of moans Carmen gives. Carmen pulls on his hair, breathing out quiet curses as Juda bobs his head and takes his c**k down his throat.
It's not a small feat. Carmen's not exactly small.
His d**k leaks in Juda's mouth, twitching and pulsing with pleasure, and Juda swallows all of it. His hand lightly squeezes Carmen's outer thigh, holding him in place and indulging his sudden obsession with them. His skin's smooth, thighs even smoother, and Juda's absolutely taken with him.
"You're actually really good at this." Carmen gives a quiet, breathless laugh. "What praise do you want, hm? Wanna be called a good boy? Want me to tell you how well you suck my c**k?" Juda pinches his thigh, c**k still lodged down his throat. "No? Should I tell you how good I feel then?"
Now that's something Juda would love to hear. Juda gets off on giving. Likes knowing his boys are feeling good. The praise is nice, sure, but he'd much rather be giving it than receiving. Good boy doesn't really do it for him, but his good boys moaning about how good he's making them feel does.
Already, Carmen's so sensitive. Juda's mouth is doing wonders while coaxing him closer and closer to an orgasm. The mere sight of Juda's lips wrapped around his c**k is enough to almost send him over the edge. He mentally curses, burning the image in his head to think about later.
Carmen's c**k probs the back of Juda's throat, tearing a moan from him. "f**k- just like that," he breathes. "Feels so good." His fingers thread through Juda's long hair, pulling the strands and pushing him down. Juda doesn't mind the forcefulness, glad that Carmen's enjoying himself so much.
Carmen's head tips back, chest rising and falling unsteadily as Juda's mouth drags up and down his d**k. The drag is delicious, he's barely able to resist asking to f**k into his mouth. He's sure Juda would let him. God- he knows Juda would let him.
Carmen's bottom lip catches in his teeth, bitten red from his hidden moans. He praises Juda with a long, drawn out moan, scratching at his scalp. "Wanted to do this for Nico last night." He exhales shakily. "Wanted to do a lot more, actually."
Juda pulls off breathless, stroking Carmen's c**k as he asks, "Like what? You wanna f**k him? Have him f**k you?" His eyes flick up. "Tell me."
Carmen pets Juda's hair mindlessly, eyes fluttering from pleasure. He's close, can feel it in his stomach. "Wanted to f**k him." Delirious enough, he can picture himself actually f*****g Nico out on the field, where anyone can walk by and see.
It's sick, but he gets off on it - hopes they think that's Carmen's boy.
Look, don't touch.
"Yeah? He looks like he'd take it well, huh? He'd be a good boy."
Carmen's thighs tense. "Real good," he agrees. Breathes out a soft moan just thinking about it. "s**t- your mouth feels so fuckin' good. Gonna make me c*m soon." His thighs threaten to close around Juda's head, but the catcher holds them open, hooks them over his shoulders properly. And he reaches so deep, taking Carmen's c**k down to the base. "Mmm, you too. Want you to f**k me after this. You will, yeah? c*m inside me?"
Juda's c**k throbs. Groaning around Carmen's d**k, he promises he will. There's no way he can't now. He's hard, achingly so, and will do just about anything to dump his c*m inside this pretty boy.
Carmen's only able to hold off his orgasm for so long before he's tipping over the edge and letting out a cry of pleasure. A long, drawn out moan falls from his lips as his orgasm washes over him, crashing into his body in tall waves of pleasure.
His heel digs into Juda's back, thighs shaking from how f*****g good it feels. Juda's mouth is so wet and warm, takes his c**k so well and it's almost too much. Carmen moans from the mix of sensations. Juda sucks him off like he's trying to milk him dry, and it works wonders.
He only lets up when Carmen's pulling at his hair, whining from the sensitivity. Then, he wipes at his mouth and catches his breath, chest rising and falling unsteadily. "You're a pretty cummer."
"What the f**k?" Carmen laughs breathlessly. "That's not even a word."
Juda shrugs and pulls his shirt over his head. The taste of c*m is still strong on his tongue, but he doesn't find himself minding the taste. Or maybe it's just Carmen's he doesn't mind. "Do you know when Nico's gonna be back?"
Carmen's somewhat distracted with the large bulge under Juda's sweats. He has to force his eyes away, tearing from the impressive size. "Isn't he with Bear? He'll probably just crash there if they're drinking."
Juda holds off a scoff and gets up from bed, surprising Carmen. The blond quickly sits up. "Where are you going?"
"Gonna go get him."
"Oh." Carmen stares at his back, processing the implication a few seconds too late. "Oh- okay. Yeah." He blinks and nods. "Yeah, go do that."
"I'll still f**k you, don't worry~" Juda doesn't bother putting his shirt back on as he opens their door. Glancing over his shoulder, "Since you were begging for it."
Carmen's scowl and the pillow thrown at his back is deserved, and he's still laughing as he walks down the hall. He knocks on Bear's door for show and pushes it open the next second without waiting for a reply. "Nico~" he calls, holding onto the doorframe. "Time for bed, c'mon."
Nico's sharing a beanbag with Bear, surely playing some overly violent video game. His head tips back to stare at the new visitor. "Bed time?" And Juda hums in reply.
It's surprising easily to sway him to leave. Bear tries getting him to stay, telling Juda to f**k off, but Nico eventually sides with Juda. I'll play more tomorrow, he promises, carefully setting the controller away.
Reese subtly eyes how deflated Bear gets. "..I'll play with you."
The walk back to their room is short, but Nico quickly takes note of how disheveled Juda looks. "Your hair's a mess." He reaches up and ruffles the black strands into place - or at least attempts too.
"Ah, yeah." Juda unconsciously touches his hair. "That was Car."
"Were you guys play fighting again?"
"Uh.." Juda thinks about it as he opens their door, "More like-"
Nico's eyes immediately fall on Carmen's naked body laying in Juda's bed. "Oh."
