5) TOUCH

As Landa caught himself dozing off for the second time in the evening, he decided to call it a day and closed the file on his desk. It was so late that his office was probably the last one in the SS-headquarters in Paris to be still illuminated. He and Hellstrom had brooded over a particularly complicated case for hours, without reaching any conclusions.

He looked over to his colleague, who was sitting on the second chair in the office, his usually straight posture slumped. Landa noticed only now that Hellstrom’s eyes were closed, his hands resting loosely on the documents on his lap.

Landa frowned a little, almost worried for a moment, before he saw how relaxed Hellstrom looked, his breathing slow and regular. At some point since they had last talked he must have fallen asleep. It wasn’t surprising, considering that Hellstrom was a very early riser.

As soon as Landa had realised that there was nothing to worry about, a more pleasant thought occurred to him - if Hellstrom was sleeping, he could watch him without being noticed. Ever since their kiss a week ago Landa had been on edge, unsure what Hellstrom would make of his knowledge and new power over Landa. The boy was such a tease, giving Landa superior looks whenever he was smoking, constantly reminding him that he knew about his desires and had strictly no intention of doing anything about them. Yet Landa wasn’t about to miss such a rare opportunity to watch him at leisure and without much risk.

He slowly rose from his chair and walked through the room, sneaking on tiptoes to keep his boot heels from waking his sleeping colleague. He smiled when he saw Hellstrom up close - thin lips slightly parted, eyelids fluttering occasionally, he had to be dreaming. It didn’t seem to be an unpleasant dream, though, not when he was breathing so calmly, and Landa wondered what a man like him dreamt of.

He gently took the documents from Hellstrom’s limp fingers and put them away, resisting the urge to touch his hands. His attraction was almost painful at moments like these, when the object of his deepest desire seemed so close and yet unattainable. He felt like Tantalus, dying of thirst, but unable to reach to cool water at his feet.

But he had tasted it for a moment, hadn’t he? He had been granted this one blissful moment, only to have it taken away from him again. Landa shivered when he remembered their quick kiss, and he forced himself not to look at Hellstrom’s lips.

His gaze roamed over Hellstrom’s clean-shaven jaw, then up to his hair, slicked back with this awful pomade. It always made Landa wonder if Hellstrom was trying to hide his boyish looks on purpose, afraid that he wouldn’t be taken seriously.

The pomade didn’t reach Hellstrom’s neck, though, and the hair there was surprisingly fair. It looked as soft as a child’s, and before Landa could rein himself in his fingers were already brushing Hellstrom’s skin. He knew he was being reckless, but what did it matter now? Hellstrom wouldn’t have kissed him unless he had been absolutely sure. Even if Hellstrom woke up, this wouldn’t tell him any more than he already knew.

Landa’s fingertips were burning under the careful touch, barely daring to caress the fuzz on this pale, slender neck. Landa had always thought necks to be particularly erotic - fragile, graceful, soft. Touching someone’s neck felt almost as intimate to him as kissing them.

When Hellstrom didn’t wake up, didn’t even stir in his sleep, Landa became a bit more daring. His fingertips drew small circles on the base of Hellstrom’s head, combing through the short, silky strands. He wondered what Hellstrom looked like without the pomade, what it would feel like to run his hands through his hair when it was all soft and clean.

Hellstrom had opened the upper button of his shirt and loosened his tie earlier that evening, and Landa’s hand slid down carefully, slipping under the shirt to touch his upper back, feeling the pointy shoulder blades. Hellstrom was apparently even thinner than Landa had thought, and it aroused him all the more that someone this fragile could still hold so much power over him.

When his hand slid up again, this time to the side of his neck, Hellstrom’s eyes suddenly snapped open and met Landa’s with the triumphant expression of a hunter who had lain in wait for hours and finally caught his prey.

Hellstrom’s hand moved as quickly as a snake, but to Landa the seconds seemed to pass in slow motion. Long fingers tightened around his wrist and twisted it slightly, but even the pain was a welcome reminder of his helplessness. It was a relief, losing control over the situation, or else he would have had to stop this. And that would have been the last thing he wanted right now. It was irrelevant that he could easily overpower Hellstrom - his mind had already surrendered to him long ago.

Neither of them said a word when Hellstrom lifted his free hand to Landa’s face, gently caressing his cheek. His fingers felt as soft as Landa had imagined, deceivingly fragile and yet uncompromisingly strong. Manicured fingernails scratched over Landa’s throat when the hand slid down, grabbing his shoulder and slowly pushing him down.

Despite Hellstrom’s strength there was no violence in his gesture. He didn’t need to force Landa to his knees, he simply suggested what he wanted, certain that he would be obeyed. A good officer never had to raise his voice. Landa’s body quivered in tension when he sank to the floor, his eyes as fixed on Hellstrom’s as the prisoner’s had been in the interrogation room. He knew that he was just as much in Hellstrom’s hands as this man had been, with the difference that the thought aroused him beyond words.

His knees protested when they met the hard wooden floorboards, but the discomfort was a price he was more than willing to pay to see the approving smirk on Hellstrom’s face. The major finally let go of his hand and started to caress Landa’s face, endless long fingers flitting over the stubble on his chin, his cheeks. Landa’s eyes closed obediently when Hellstrom’s fingertips touched his eyelids, he opened his mouth willingly when they slid between his lips. He kissed his hands greedily, whimpering when the fingers were withdrawn from his mouth and combed through his hair.

Desperate to touch him Landa bent forward to kiss Hellstrom’s knee, then further down to the bootleg. The leather was smooth under his lips and his tongue, the taste was as bitter as Hellstrom’s lips had been.

Tears filled his eyes, blurring his vision, and he shivered in the ecstasy of an atheist who had been allowed to witness the divine. The hands in his hair, gentle until now, tightened painfully and yanked his head up, accompanied by a playfully disapproving look. One booted foot found its way to Landa’s thigh, caressing him at first before it stopped, the heel pressed firmly into Landa’s leg, the tip barely brushing his groin.

Landa felt almost hypnotised when one hand left his hair to unbutton Hellstrom’s trousers. He licked his lips in anticipation, and a grateful moan escaped him when fingernails dug into his neck and pulled him close.

Looking up at Hellstrom, Landa saw his eyes flutter closed, the mask of control finally broken by pleasure. He heard the strangled noise of a suppressed moan. He smelt his arousal, tasted it on his tongue, felt it in every tightening of Hellstrom’s fingers in his hair, in the increasing pressure of the boot on his leg. He moaned when Hellstrom’s foot moved forward a little, starting to rub his groin through the uniform trousers.

Pleasure blurred Landa’s awareness, and the next thing he could remember was being slumped on the floor before Hellstrom, his head still resting in the major’s lap, his face nuzzling his groin, the rough fabric of black uniform trousers scratching his cheek, while an almost tender hand stroked his hair. Smoke filled his nostrils, and he lifted his head to see Hellstrom sucking on his cigarette, more relaxed than he had ever seen him before.

His head sank back on Hellstrom’s lap, and he felt oddly at peace. He was still almost painfully hard, and he didn’t expect Hellstrom to care, but he had already received so much more than he had ever hoped for. The very thought of touching himself while he still had Hellstrom’s taste on his lips was enough to make him moan; he was so grateful for what he had been given that he couldn’t even feel pathetic for contenting himself with so little.

It was quiet except for the regular sound of Hellstrom’s inhaling and releasing of smoke. Long fingers caressed Landa’s hair like they would caress a pet, and the dismissive tenderness of the touch made Landa sigh in pleasure.

He only wished that Hellstrom would allow him to stay at his feet a bit longer, and he tensed up in apprehension when Hellstrom shifted on his chair. His hand went from Landa’s hair to his chin, lifting it, and a slender thumb wiped the moisture off Landa’s bottom lip.

“I will fuck you when we get home,” Hellstrom said calmly, his voice rough and smoky. The major took another drag on his cigarette, and his eyes were filled with contempt when he looked down into Landa‘s widened eyes. His foot, still covered in sleek leather, gently nudged Landa’s groin again, and a sneer spread out on his face. His voice dripped with sarcasm when he added, “Unless you mind, Standartenführer.”

Landa stared at him in disbelief for a moment before he nodded and reached for Hellstrom’s hand. The major graciously let his hand rest in Landa’s, allowed him to rub his face against it, to cover it in reverent kisses, sucking on each knuckle, each joint, laving the warm skin with his tongue. Why would anyone want to worship an idol when the divine could be found in a man? Why kiss a cross when he could kiss these hands?

“Please …”

The word was only breathed against Hellstrom’s hand in between two kisses. His lips didn’t even leave Hellstrom’s skin when he looked up pleadingly and saw the smug, triumphant smile on Hellstrom’s face.

“Wunderbar.”

Lovely, lovely series <3 Very very nicely done. And very interesting to have Landa as a sub for once, but it was very believable! It was very evocative, very easy to feel and understand his tension and need and desire.

Thank you~~ <3

I very much enjoyed writing Landa as a sub, and I do think it fits him somehow. I'm relieved that I'm not the only one who thinks so. ;) Thank you for your comment. :D

Love love love :) I think I like Landa as sub. I might even prefer it to TopLanda. I really had to grin when he became jealous because of a piano of all things. That was so great!
Also the split into different parts was very nice.
And now I gotta hurry or I will be late for work.

Thank you. :) I had lots of fun writing sub!Landa, I think I might have to do that again.
At first I considered posting it all together, but I think it works better that way. Glad you approve. ;)

Sorry, that was not my intention. O:-)

I would say something, but my brain is having difficulty forming coherent thoughts. Well apart from "OMFG, smoking, trench coat and music porn, as well as sub!Landa, UNF!" Dear Jeebus, that was beyond smoking hot, it was a whole other stratosphere of hot. I lterally can't think of anything else other than possibly contemplating this further. ;)

Thank you so much, it made a day that was hot for all of the wrong reasons into an evening that is hot for all of the right ones.

I love this kind of reaction. :D Glad the music porn was appreciated, I was afraid it was too geeky (*coughselfinsertcough*). And sub!Landa is fun, isn't he? I was surprised myself how well it fits his character. Thank you for commenting. And please do contemplate this further. ;)

I have to say I wholeheartedly concur with all these comments. I didn't really believe sub!Landa the first time through...it seemed weird. But you made a believer out of me. The music porn? Yeah, I can see being jealous of that piano - anything that can draw that emotion out of a person and leave them looking that fucked-out and sweaty....
And I especially like how you drew it out so long - from watching almost at a distance to the first tentative steps all the way to the end. Very, VERY well done.

I'm insanely jealous of your abilities. You have no idea.

I'm glad I could convert you to sub!Landa. I'm a bit surprised myself how fitting it is for him. I mainly wanted to write top!Hellstrom, but to my surprise sub!Landa worked perfectly. :) I really want to write them like this more often.
I'm jealous of both the piano and of Hellstrom ... I want a Bösendorfer (and I also want a Hellstrom, obviously ;)).
Thank you so much for your comment. I hope "Smell" didn't sound too amateurish. ;) Glad you liked the series. :)

I'm quite the fan of your stories, and I thik this series might be my favourite one.
I never thought I would enjoy sub!Landa, and found myself enjoying it very much. You write it in a very belieavable way. Love the slow build up as well.
For some reason the first two are my favorite ones.
The first, because I imagine Hellstrom just sitting there looking awesome in his black uniform. Guess it's not a secret anymore I have a huge SS uniform fetish ;-)
Second, because I love music, and the way you wrote this chapter is extremely sensual.
And Hellstom last, arrogant joke..."I'll fuck you when we get home, unless you mind" really cracks me up.
Great job, really.

I'm very glad to hear that you liked this one. :)
I've been wanting to write top!Hellstrom for a very long time, and somehow, since I wrote from Landa's POV, this had to imply that Landa had to be quite a sub. I was surprised myself how well it turned out, to be honest. He really has a sub side he has been hiding from me the whole time. ;)
Haha, really, you have an SS uniform fetish? I never would have guessed. ;) I just really, really needed to remember in my stories that Hellstrom is Major Creeper, and not this intimated little sub Landa likes to play with. It was refreshing to write. I'll have to do that more often.
The second chapter is a shameless self-insert of how I feel when I hear or play Beethoven. I freely admit it. Beethoven is just incredibly sensual. I'm so glad I'm not the only music geek around.
I love his last joke as well. Honestly, it was not my idea. I always steal ideas from the poor people who have to give me feedback while I'm writing. ;)

Thank you so much for commenting! :D

You know what? I adore you.
And you know what else? I've always thought of Landa as a sub. He's just so gentle, so.. susceptable. This story is simply made of great and delightful. Thank you so much for writing it. <3

I don't even know why I find sub!Landa so fascinating. Maybe because he is one of these people who always have to be in control. Who can't stand not being in control. Unless it's about sex. ;) And, seriously, if anyone can top Landa, it's Hellstrom.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! I adore you right back! :)

Landa could see a sheen of sweat on the pale forehead, feverish almost, while usually hard eyes were alive with fire. One hand rose, fingers running through somehow slightly dishevelled hair.

Before he could protest Hellstrom’s lips were on his, and he surrendered to him as willingly and completely as Austria had surrendered to Germany.

I hate to quote the entirety of every one of them but my brain is broken, again, and I can't do much else.

Wow. I didn't think I'd ever like sub!Landa, but I am in awe. Wow. I like tease!Hellstrom too much for words.

Brain. Broken.

Thank you so much! I half expected the Austrian readers to kill me for that particular line. ;) I'm so glad you liked it. ^^

I find sub!Landa incredibly fascinating. Initially I just wanted to write top!Hellstrom, and sub!Landa was sort of an additional bonus, but he's really fun to play around with. ;) Need to write more of that. ^^

Ahhhhh, that was too beautiful for words.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
Haha, I love how Hellstrom is so calm when he tells Landa what he's going to do. x3

Thank you so much, I'm glad you ennjoyed it! :D I love Hellstrom's calm. Before this fic I usually wrote Landa in control with Hellstrom being all nervous, and I really enjoyed turning tables in this fic.

Okay so I just read this whole thing. *With coffee and Belgium chocolate Wensleydale, yum*

Brilliant! Landa and Hellstrom and this whole dance of theirs. I really like watching the way Landa evaluates Hellstrom, how he experiences him. Because, yeah, it's all in the senses. And Landa's reactions to these things is great. You've really got this tension between them (or when it's one sided, you can feel Landas desire very well).

The music geekery was too cool! Glee! You play an instrument, right? Or if you don't, you write like someone who does!

Hellstrom is gorgeous in this. <3

Om nom, coffee and chocolate! :D

That being said, thank you so much for your review! I love Hellstrom, I love writing him, so this was really a lot of fun for me. If you like the pairing, you might want to have a look at the other fics I've written for them. Or not. ;)

Yep, I play the piano. All right, I admit that I've been very lazy about it for a year or so, but I'll get back to it - I started when I was four or so, I can't really stop playing. To be honest, Hellstrom was just my shameless self-insert in the music geekery part, because I love playing Beethoven that much. ;)

Thank you again! :D
