The Litmus Test
Kind of a silly premise, but I enjoyed writing it. And I imagine something like this could happen in a world with Pokémon...you know how some dogs just “don’t like” some people? Now imagine your “dog” can unload a Hyper Beam on your ass at a moment’s notice. You’d want to find yourself on their good side.

Lee opened the door with a wide smile. “Roman! Come on in, make yourself comfortable! I'm working on dinner right now, we should be ready in an hour or so!"
“Awesome, I'm really looking forward to it." Roman couldn't help but have a bit of a flutter in his heart as he watched his boyfriend dash back to work. It had been a while since they'd started dating and things had settled a bit, but there was still that spark of passion between them that kept things interesting. “Sorry I couldn't get here sooner...you want a bit of help with that?"
“No, no, this is my treat, you just sit and relax!" It was the expected response, Lee liked to cook and he'd been looking forward to this for a while...that, and Roman probably should have had a restraining order keeping him 500 yards from a kitchen. He was perfectly happy to leave the results in Lee's hands, though he did wish there was something he could do to help. He'd find a way to make up for it next time…
“You ready for a full night, Roman? I've got plenty planned for us!"
“You better believe it, I've been ready for a while!"
“I know! Sorry, I haven't enjoyed bailing the last couple weekends…"
“It's not your fault! I know how work can get, and I've seen how swamped you've been…" Not that it hadn't been a bit unpleasant to find himself alone for the last couple weekends, but it wasn't Lee's fault. His bosses demanded an awful lot of him...Roman felt like he should find a different job that didn't take advantage of him so much, but it wasn't his place to say that, so he kept quiet. Today, though, Lee had the day off, and they were going to get their date.
“Yeah, but I've felt bad about it...and I've been wanting to get together as well, of course. At least it's given me time to come up with more ideas for our special day!"
“You have time to think of more things while messing with that computer stuff?"
“Haha, of course! Messing with that computer stuff is the perfect time to be thinking of something else!" Lee walked back into the room with a drink for Roman; it was a deep red color with something red floating in it. “Like this, a nifty little cocktail I read about on the Net. Pomegranate Blush...I think you'll like it!"
“I don't think I've ever heard of it…" Roman took a sip, the sweet liquid tickling his tongue and the liquor giving a mild, pleasant burn in his throat. “Mmm...that's pretty good! I'll bet I could get hammered really easily on them, eh?"
“Yeah, but I'll water it down if we're getting too tipsy. Definitely want to be fully awake for everything!" He leaned down and pulled Roman into a deep kiss, enjoying the lingering sweetness on his beau's tongue before pulling away with a grin. “That wouldn't be nearly as fun if I was knackered."
“No kidding…" Roman had been left a bit breathless by it. Lee really knew how to kiss...he hadn't had many partners who could pull that off. He was just about to try to engage again when he heard the sound of Roman's phone going off. The ringtone was a familiar one...one he'd started to associate with bad things. His office.
“Oh, damnation...one moment, Roman." Lee grabbed the phone and started talking into it while heading out into the hallway. Roman couldn't hear exactly what he was saying, as he was trying to speak low, but he could tell Lee wasn't happy about something. He sure hoped it wasn't serious, they had a lot of plans and he really didn't want to find out they had to all be cancelled.
A couple minutes later, Lee came back in, looking especially frustrated. “My idiot of a boss did something that took down the whole network at work. They need me to come in and try to fix it."
“Oh man...how long is that gonna take?"
“No more than a couple hours. I told them they have to pay me triple for making me come in like this, and they get two hours of my time at most, regardless of whether the problem gets fixed or not. So I'll be back in time to enjoy dinner with you, for sure."
Roman gave him a somewhat forced smile. “That's good at least...but it's still gonna get in the way of our night. And they don't give you enough time off already…"
“Well, they're smart cookies. They know how important a good IT guy is. So when I demanded tomorrow off as compensation, they didn't even hesitate. So we have even more time tomorrow to make up for missing out on a little tonight."
That was definitely music to Roman's ears; a full day just between him and Lee, he didn't have enough chances for that lately. “That's great to hear! I guess that means I won't have to come in and kidnap you like I was planning to! But you tell them you have a very unhappy boyfriend waiting at home for you and he won't be afraid to get his hands dirty if they try to keep you longer than a little while."
“Hey, love…" Suddenly Lee took hold of Roman and kissed him deeply again, this time getting much deeper into it than the little tease before. Roman's eyes closed as he wrapped his arms around his partner and got into the kiss deeply, their tongues meshing up well and their bodies rubbing up against each other. After a good minute, the two pulled back, placid smiles on both their faces. “Happy six months."
“Well, that's a good way to start the celebration. Get me all nice and ready for when you get back."
“Just wanted to give you a taste of what's coming. We're gonna have a lot of fun tonight, I promise. Just sit tight and I'll be back before you know it."
“I don't think that'll be possible, I'll be keyed in on your return every waking second."
“Well, don't spend too much time pining. Feel free to make yourself at home, anything you want to do, go ahead and do it."
Roman gave a little laugh. “You realize this is gonna end up with me sneaking through your bedrooms and whatnot trying to find out your saucy secrets, right?"
“Oh, I doubt I've got anything more hidden from you. But let me know if you find anything, we'll have fun with it." Lee gave him a wink and a cheeky grin, and Roman felt himself turn a bit red. Maybe there weren't any secrets to find, but even the hint of them had his thoughts running wild.
Twenty minutes after Lee had left, Roman was already bored. He didn't really want to watch TV, at least not until a good show came on, and that was at least an hour out. He thought about going onto Lee's computer and watching videos until then, but he couldn't recall his account password and didn't feel like trying to scour his preferred creators manually. Video games, he didn't really want to get too into lest Lee get home earlier than expected. Nothing else felt distracting enough to keep his attention. Had he known he would have down time, he would have brought something from home to occupy his time, but he had expected it to all be him and Lee.
It looked like he'd be snooping around after all.
To be fair, it wasn't too seriously snooping - he'd been here several times already and Lee had shown him around pretty thoroughly. He didn't expect that Lee had any real scandalous secrets hidden from him, and it sounded like they'd gotten all their major kinks out in the open already. But everyone had a few things they kept on the down low, so maybe there was a hidden stash of something somewhere...if Lee's teasing was any indication, that was definitely possible. It was also possible he was just teasing Roman and getting him excited, but at least it would kill some time.
Stepping into the bedroom, he looked around for any obvious spots. It was a pretty standard bedroom, a queen-sized bed taking up a good bit of the space, with a nightstand with a lamp on the left side near the head of the bed. A desk and dresser made up the rest of the furniture, filling out the far wall from the bed and away from the door. At the far end of the room was a walk-in closet, with the door shut tight. The walls had a couple of pictures, mostly Roman with his parents or sister, and one bit of art he hadn't asked about but was apparently done by an online friend.
It wasn't exactly a place that had a lot of concealment, and he pretty quickly discounted anything hiding in plain sight. Under the bed was a possibility, but he'd already looked there once, and it didn't seem like he ever kept anything up there; he doubted that Lee would have suddenly started to do so. He hadn't looked through the dresser or desk, so he started with the dresser, sliding open the drawers and quickly sifting through them. It yielded nothing; Roman didn't have enough in any of the drawers to really hide anything significant, but he still chucked under what was there and got nothing but bare wood. Though he did notice a pair of boxers in the underwear drawer that had anime print on them, and made a mental note to tease Lee about that endlessly at some point.
He shifted over to the desk, sifting through the drawers when there was anything to sift through. Again, nothing, though he kind of had low expectations there - Lee had admitted to him that he didn't use the desk very much in the first place, and Roman got the feeling that what went in there was more forgotten about than kept secret. To him, the closet seemed more likely anyway, there was more room and he had plenty of bins and such that it would be easy to hide something inside and have it be overlooked.
Just as he was about to open the closet door, he heard a grunt behind him. “Snooping, are we?"
“Nothing he hasn't done to me, Chekov. He told me if I find anything saucy we can use it tonight." He turned to face Chekov, Lee's one Pokémon, a Druddigon standing in the doorway. Although Lee had gotten him for protection, he was more of a pet than anything, lazy and ornery, mostly just there to eat and sleep and snark. Despite this, he was friendly enough, and hadn't ever done anything to threaten Roman; he had a sharp tongue for sure, but with just as many barbs directed towards Lee, it might have just as well been a sign of affection.
“I'd tell you where to look, but that would be cheating."
“Just as well, the hunt's more fun if there's some challenge to it anyway. Plus the reward feels even sweeter."
Chekov stared at him quietly for several seconds; Roman was starting to feel a different tenor in the air. “Hm...you're really serious about this, aren't you?"
“Serious about what?"
“Lee. Six months now...you've been coming around, he's been going to you, and it seems like it's a thing that's lasting. It's not just some fling."
He hadn't realized the Druddigon had been paying that much attention; he generally stayed out of sight while the two were together. “Of course not. I love him."
“Do you?"
Roman scowled; if this was a joke, it was rapidly becoming less funny. “Yes! Have you not seen us together? I've never felt like this about anyone before! You think all this stuff between us is, what, just for show?"
A deep growl came out of the Druddigon, startling Roman out of his anger. “You think I haven't heard that before? You're not the first one to come in here professing love. And the fact that you're here now should tell you how that turned out. So yes, I'm going to ask, and you'd better fucking be telling the truth, or you'll have a good bit of my wrath to face."
Not wanting to face an angry Druddigon all on his own, Roman took a deep breath and calmed himself down. “Right...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get frustrated...just a hard thing to be accused of. But I swear to you, I really do care about him, and I promise you I'm not two-timing him. That's a horrible thing to do...he's really had that happen before?"
“Since I've been here, Lee's had seven boyfriends, counting you. Three of them were short-term flings that weren't destined to last long, just a way of getting some companionship. One of them he broke it off with because he wasn't in the right emotional state for a relationship. The other two, they professed to love him and they were planning to stick around for a while...and they broke his heart badly. The first was just using him, wanting gifts and constantly hitting him up for money, and then dumping him the moment he said no. The other was constantly cheating on him, putting him in danger while getting insanely defensive if anyone even hinted at that, and was highly jealous if there was any chance of Lee glancing in the direction of another guy. I finally put my foot down and kicked him out when I smelled another male's scent on his clothes. Since then, I've been advising Lee on every one of his relationships, and I can be the one who makes or breaks it for you."
“You'd...you'd tell him to break up with me?"
Chekov nodded. “If I thought you weren't right for him, I'd tell him to ditch you in a heartbeat. So keeping me happy is a good idea. I can tell, you know, if someone's doing something shady...if they're keeping lots of secrets, or putting on a front. If you're doing any of that, I'll find out and he will know. Better a heartbreak now than learning about years of betrayal down the road."
Roman wasn't sure he liked the sound of that. “I...see...well, I'm not planning anything shady, I swear. I've been burned in the past too...not like that, thankfully, but I've known betrayal as well. I couldn't do that to someone else. Does that help?"
“Hmph. Words are nice and pretty, but they're pretty easily made empty."
“Well...I guess I don't know what you want, then. You want me to keep you happy, what am I supposed to say?"
“More than just talking, it's doing. Take off your clothes."
“Wait, what?"
Chekov looked at him pointedly. “You heard me. I want to test you out for myself...see if you're right for him. If you can give him the kind of pleasure he deserves."
“The kind of...wait, hold on a second, you want me to...to let you…"
“Fuck you? Yes, exactly. Good job getting it on your own."
“But...hang on, I can't...how could I do that to Lee? That wouldn't be right, I can't sneak around on him like that!"
“You're not. If you're going to be sticking around here, you're going to have to get used to me. Who do you think takes care of my needs? And who do you think's been there for him when he's been at his loneliest and most depressed? You think Lee doesn't know me more intimately than you know him?"
That was a stunning thought. Certainly, Roman had heard of such things, but he figured they were rare and something that only happened in seedy places, or for those trainers who traveled a lot. He hadn't expected it from Lee, of all people...but there was no reason for Chekov to lie about that. Well, it wasn't his place to judge...especially if he was going to end up in the same boat. “I guess that makes sense...but now you want me to do that?"
“Well, someone's going to have to do it, and if there's more than one person around here, it wouldn't be fair to always ask him, now, would it?"
It didn't sound like an exceptionally fun time to him, but Roman wasn't rushing to refuse. If Chekov was going to insist on this, he could make Roman do what he wanted - he was stronger and had the ability to impose his will on him. And if he pissed him off, what would he say to Lee? Would he tell him that Roman wasn't good enough, that he should end it now? Would Lee do that? Lee probably trusted Chekov with his life, he wouldn't take the Druddigon's word lightly. No, it was better to do as he said…
He shed his clothing slowly, trying not to feel self-conscious with the dragon's eyes watching his every move. He wasn't typically too reserved, he never had any problem getting naked with Lee or with previous boyfriends, but Chekov was getting him more nervous...and this from a creature that never wore anything, and probably cared even less about nudity than anyone else he'd ever met. Maybe because it still felt somehow taboo, or maybe it was because he felt a bit like a piece of meat in the eyes of the dragon. “This was not who I imagined I'd be showing myself to tonight…"
“I'm sure it wasn't." Chekov's tone plainly showed an utter lack of fucks given. Roman supposed that was to be expected, given his usual demeanor.
Finally he had laid himself bare, his clothes cast off onto the bed. He turned to face Chekov, trying to keep the redness in his face from welling up as the dragon very obviously checked him over. Roman liked to think of himself as in pretty good shape, a fairly average build but a trim figure, no athlete but he kept his weight in check and worked out on occasion, and didn't have any hideous deformities or anything like that. There was a small scar on his stomach from an appendectomy a few years back but otherwise no notable blemishes.
“Hm...not bad. Better than average, I'd say. Not nearly as good as the fitness freak but I think he annoyed Lee with his health kick, I doubt you'll be as pushy."
“Gee, thanks." He was starting to feel a bit like a product on the market under the Druddigon's scrutiny.
“Hm...I'd like to see a bit more from here, though." Chekov stepped forward and set his gaze right on Roman's crotch, eyeing his flaccid dick. “I hope it gets bigger than this, I know Lee's more of a bottom…"
“It does, jeez! I'm not exactly feeling the heat at the moment you know! And he's already had experience, thank you very much!" The protests were a bit much, he realized; he had nothing to be ashamed of down there, he was no monster but he beat the average by a bit, and Lee had remarked that it was more than effective. Still, being taunted in that fashion by a Pokémon wasn't an easy thing to deal with.
“Of course. Well, I know he can handle more, for sure." Chekov leaned back to demonstrate, and Roman's eyes widened at the sight of the Druddigon's dick. It was significantly bigger than anything he'd ever seen on a human for sure, but the really striking thing was the shape of it, thickly ridged with fleshy spikes dotting the shaft, about as far from familiar as one could get.
“That...I don't even know what to say, it looks like a torture device!"
Chekov smirked at him. “Well, let's find out if you still feel that way once it's gone inside you. Something tells me that'll be a no."
Roman wasn't so sure he wanted to find out, but his options seemed fairly limited here. Resignedly, he turned around and leaned over onto the bed, spreading his legs wide and bracing himself for the onslaught. A few seconds later he felt the rough skin against his back, two claws holding his hands onto the bed, not quite pinning him but giving him the sense that he wasn't going anywhere any time soon.
“I advise relaxing...I'm not going in easy." Hearing that from Chekov made him tense up a bit, the opposite of what he wanted; he'd been on the bottom before but it had been a while, and Chekov was significantly bigger than anything he'd ever dared to try. His response got him a bit of a growl. “I said relax. If it was going to hurt you I wouldn't do it that way. But you're not going to like it as much if you're wound up so tight."
I'm not sure I'm going to like it at all, Roman thought, but he did his best to ease himself, releasing the tension in his body, and especially his ass. It was tough to stay that way as he felt the tip press against him, already sensing the odd shape and the spikes on it, but if he was going through this, he might as well try to make it as inoffensive as possible. He felt those claws clamp down a bit, and suddenly Chekov bucked forward, burying it inside almost all the way. He managed to clamp back a cry as his hole was forcefully opened to the massive intrusion, stretching him beyond belief…
Oddly, it wasn't that bad. He'd expected far worse pain, given his past experiences with much easier entries...but it wasn't even really painful at all, just uncomfortable. He let out his breath in a heaving pant as he bent forward a bit more, trying to relieve the pressure a bit without much success.
Behind him, Chekov let out a pleased rumble. “Yessssss...that feels as good as I hoped. Get ready, because the fun's just starting." Slowly the dragon dragged himself out, and Roman had to stifle another shuddering gasp as he felt the full effect of those spikes on his insides. Quite unlike his expectations, those felt really good, not at all sharp like he'd feared but thick and pliable...they rubbed and tickled his passage, giving him sensations he never could have had with a human cock. Before he knew it, Chekov slammed back in, hilting himself this time and giving him a stretch even deeper than before. The weight of the dragon was on him all the way now, his scratchy skin rubbing against his back and giving him more sensations on top of the ones in his ass, also feeling strangely pleasant if not in an erotic way.
Chekov began thrusting in and out at a languid pace, emphasizing his strength as every slam of his hips pushed Roman into the bed. Grunts and growls emerged from his throat with each entry, getting steadily louder over the early seconds of his rutting as his pleasure built up. The human felt damn good, his ass was nice and tight but didn't try to push him out, it sucked him in and tried to keep him there. He probably liked it more than he was willing to admit. “You know…" he said quietly, leaning his head into Roman's ear, “You don't have to be so quiet...it's not like anyone's gonna overhear you moaning in pleasure…"
Almost immediately Roman let out a shaky moan of obvious ecstasy, getting a chuckle out of Chekov and a bit more speed to his thrusts. He'd not been sure he wanted to give the dragon the satisfaction of knowing the effect he was having, but if Chekov wanted to hear him, he was going to be heard. After all, upsetting him would be worse. It wasn't forced, though; the Druddigon was getting his legitimate reaction, his screwing was hitting the spot better than any time he'd ever taken it up the ass before. His body was adjusting to the strain of his size, making the pleasurable parts feel even better without the discomfort taking away from them, and those spikes continued to be astonishingly wonderful. His own cock had risen to full mast, dripping precum onto Lee's bed, and he was starting to push back into Chekov's thrusts rather than just standing there and taking it. The whole thing was still a bit embarrassing - getting nailed by his boyfriend's Pokémon and getting into it no less - but it seemed to matter less and less.
As the seconds turned to minutes, Chekov's pace slowly quickened, his thumping taking on a steadily more rapid tempo without losing any of its raw power. In tandem, Roman's moans and cries rose in volume and pitch as pleasure took over fully, driving out embarrassment and reluctance for good. It was so different, a raw animal fucking that he'd never really tried with another human, never really wanted to try...if it felt this good, no wonder there were Poképhiles out there. And it was cathartic too, he could see why Lee had started doing it, after being taken advantage of by assholes it felt good to just be rammed like this, almost freeing.
He was struggling to hold in his orgasm, he didn't know how long it had been but Chekov seemed to have a good bit of staying power for the energy he was putting in. Finally, Roman couldn't hold it back any longer; he let out his loudest call yet as his cock started spurting, staining the bedclothes further with his fluids. He shot hard, some jets going a few feet past his arms and landing on dollops on the cloth before seeping in…it was as intense as the screwing before it, wracking his body and making him shake and tense so much.
This seemed to trigger Chekov's limit, his squirming ass pushed him over the edge as well. He bore down on Roman, pushing him down further and letting out a roar as he unleashed himself inside the human. His thick, surprisingly hot load surged deep into Roman's bowels, pumping him full of dragon cum, a volume he'd definitely never felt before, not even close. It felt like so much, sloshing deeper into him with a gradually traveling sensation of fullness, weightiness within him. He partly collapsed onto the bed as his arms became too weary to support both of them, and all he could do was lay there as Chekov ground his body into him, milking his cock of every drop of seed he could plant inside Roman. It seemed to go on for an age, until finally the pumping ceased, and Chekov pulled out, wiping a bit of his last drips onto his upturned ass.
“Rrr, I needed that...you did a good job." The Druddigon sounded irritatingly pleased with himself. “Sounds like I might be able to give Lee a good review after all...unless you do something to spoil the mood, of course."
“Wouldn't want...to do that…" Roman's reply had a touch of annoyance, but there wasn't really much behind it - it had happened, and he had to admit he'd enjoyed it, more than he had with humans taking him like that. He still preferred being the one on top, though...just, perhaps, with a bit more leeway for someone who could do it right. “Ugh...I'm gonna have to shower and clean up here, can't leave a mess for Lee…"
“I don't think it's all that necessary...don't mind smelling my scent all over you…" Roman flipped the dragon the bird from the bed, getting a rather hearty laugh out of him. Yeah, enjoyable or not, he was definitely enjoying this too much.
By the time Lee had walked back into the door, almost two hours after he left, Roman had gotten himself cleaned up after his encounter with Chekov. He was watching TV in the main room when he heard the door open...despite being a bit bushed from the romp, he felt plenty of energy coming back to him when he saw Lee's tired but happy face make itself known. “All done?"
“Yeah, thankfully...wasn't as bad as they feared, but still took a bit of beating the system up to get it cooperating again. And I told my boss that if he decides to fiddle with things again he's going to have to give me a raise...and HIS boss made sure he knew that, too. So he should keep his mitts off my work for a while."
“Good! And we've got all of tomorrow to ourselves?"
“Yep, I made sure he'd call another guy if anything else happened. We're all good!" Lee let out a heavy breath of relief and leaned down next to Roman. “Your hair's wet...did you shower?"
“Nothing gets past you, eh?" Roman felt a bit of a spike of nervousness, but he wasn't going to hide this from Lee for anything. “Chekov decided he wanted to, ah, test me...physically. Hell of a test, too, though it sounded like I passed…"
“Oh, for crying out loud…" Lee turned his head up the stairs. “Dammit, Chekov, I told you to stop doing that!" With a frustrated sigh, he turned back to Roman. “Sorry, Roman...I probably should have said something, but I just...wanted to think he was going to listen to me and not do that this time…"
“You mean I'm not the first guy he's tried to bone?"
“Yeah. Tried being the operative word. He told you about the guys I've had relationships with in the past, didn't he? I'm sure he told you about the important one."
“The one who used you and cheated on you?"
Lee nodded. “I was in a pretty shitty place after that...and Chekov gave me something I was in real need of. I don't really like to advertise it, but we do, uh, well, lay together. Frequently. And he...uh, he thinks he can tell if a guy would be right for me by whether he's a good lay. At least, that's what he says it is. Among other things, that's not all obviously, but it's something. The other two guys flatly refused, and he didn't give them a very favorable review for that...though, they weren't working out that well anyway."
“Ah. I see, that's what he was talking about. I guess I'm glad I met his expectations, then...better than getting a failing grade."
“He shouldn't have done that to you at all, though. I keep telling him, I'm glad he cares about my happiness and I'm more than happy to get his opinion, but he shouldn't go that far. Honestly, I think he's just worried that when I get someone who really could be a long-term thing, I'll stop paying as much attention to him...he doesn't say anything about it, but I can tell he's a bit jealous of you."
Roman let out a bit of a laugh. “Jealous of me? Well, okay, if you say so...but it's all right, Lee. I really wasn't expecting it, but it's not your fault. I know Pokémon are, well, different, they don't think or act like we do...in his own weird way, he wants to help you, and I can't blame him for that."
“Thanks...I appreciate you taking this well. I'll make sure he won't do it again, though I think if he was satisfied with how you did he'll probably leave you alone. I'll just have to figure out what to do with him…"
“You know what to do with him, Lee. He cares about you, and you care about him. I'm not going to stop you two from doing what you want together. Hell, I'll help out if that makes things better for everyone."
Lee stared at him. “You...really? You'd...do that? You wouldn't mind?"
“Hey, if this thing lasts, I'm getting you two as a package. No getting around that, might as well just roll with it. Besides, it could be fun having him involved from time to time, there's a bunch of stuff you can do with three that you can't do with two. And it's not like I'm gonna have any reason to be jealous, he's not gonna be looking to steal you away from me."
“Well...I can honestly say I didn't expect that, but I'm glad you're okay with it...I wasn't sure what I was going to do about it, to be honest." Lee wrapped his arms around Roman, holding him close. “Thanks for making that a lot easier on me, love…"
“You're very welcome. Now...how about we get back to what we were doing before your boss so rudely called you away? I'll help get things prepped, you can keep me away from the oven but I can do something to speed things up. Then we can get to our own fun…"
“Yeah, I think I'd like that. Let's get to it." The two of them stood up and headed for the kitchen, still holding each other.
From up the stairs, Chekov let out a quiet snicker. He'd hoped for this kind of outcome, and Roman hadn't disappointed. Clearly, this was the right choice for Lee.
