Their love wasn’t gentle. It wasn’t beautiful or delicate. Even Ezra couldn’t quite wax poetic about whatever it was the two of them had. People might even say their love was ugly and rough, but no one could deny it was right. They fit together seamlessly, rough edges fitting together instead of smoothing each other out.
When Din had Ezra’s arm wrapped around his torso, his breath puffing onto Din’s bare chest, he finally felt like he was right where he belonged. Din had spent decades as an outsider in his own tribe, a tribe of outsiders themselves. He had never truly had a home until he met Ez.
The smooth talking outer rim native had had the gall to kick Din’s ass when he tried to bring him in for a bounty. One armed. Ezra still ribs him about it to this day. The man had ended up straddling Din’s hips, a blade pressed tightly to his throat beneath the lip of his helmet.
Din was not accustomed to losing in hand to hand combat, even less so to those who were at a disadvantage – tactically speaking. He was in awe, and so was his body. Ez had clocked the bulge in Din’s pants right away.
“Like a man who can hold his own there, Mando?”
Din had grunted, trying not to shift too much with the knife pressed to his throat.
Somewhere between rutting into each other on the ground, coming in their pants like teenagers, and Din dragging him back to the Crest with his hand wrenched behind him, Ezra managed to convince Din not to take him in.
Ezra spent just about every day they weren’t boarded up on the ship proving exactly how useful he could be to Din. He sweet talked witnesses, watched Din’s back, and took down runaway bounties single handedly (ha).
On the Crest, locked away from any and all prying eyes, the two men took comfort in one another. They took each other apart, sparring in the tiny space of the cargo hold before falling into a heap of tangled limbs on the floor. Ezra’s mouth was good for more than rambling and he often put it to good use. Din showed Ez just how good he was with his hands. They put each other back together, holding each other in a way neither of them had ever had before.
Anyone who caught on to their feelings for each other questioned what a mandalorian would want with a one armed outer rim criminal or what anyone could see in a faceless man made of steel.
But those people never caught Din’s tender gaze at Ezra as he conned a whole Sabbac table out of their money. They weren’t privy to late night conversations where Din told Ezra all about growing up as a Mandalorian. About the few things he could remember of his life before the Creed. About his long, lonely years as a bounty hunter, bringing back every credit he could save to his struggling covert.
Ezra was right by Din’s side when they faced that Empire remnant scum offering a bounty larger than anything either of them had ever seen. He got the hang of blurg riding after just two tries, sharing a sideways glance with Kuill as Din struggled and suppressing a snicker.
Ez had Din’s back when they came upon the veritable army protecting the bounty.
“What manner of man is this that he warrants 50-odd men protecting his hide?”
“One worth a pile of beskar ingots. Duck.”
Ezra had dropped to his knees quickly as Din fired the rifle over his head, evaporating a merc. Ez talked the IG-11 down, got him to work with the two of them instead of against, and then promptly shot the thing dead.
“No droids,” Ezra rasped, winking at Din.
Ezra was right by Din’s side when the pod opened and revealed a tiny green baby.
“Now this is something I have never seen in all my time in the galaxy. Look at his ears!”
Din had reached out his finger, letting the little green thing wrap his three-clawed hand around his finger.

(969) you call me mine
your head to my heart
my head pressed to yours
arm going numb trapped between us
i feel your heartbeat
pulsing in me
filling me up with big
unnameable
feelings
your skin, soft salt
sucking marks into your breast
leaving bruises in the shape of my fingers
when you came you were so shy
hiding your face with the lights out
by the end, panting, desperate, begging
your hands roaming freely
dancing and dragging tease-fingers
leaving shapes and shades of stars behind
my eyelids, my whimpers
your mouth on me
my mouth on you
closed-quick-kisses, open-tongue-laps
whispering begging words
only yours, only yours
i call you a name you call me 'mine'

Older Than Dirt
Thus all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty-nine years, and he died.
Genesis 5:27
I read online that dirt can be formed in as little as 500 years.
I read in the Bible that Methuselah died at the ripe old age of 969 years.
That means Methuselah was, indeed, older than dirt.
Why are people so old in the book of Genesis? Methuselah is the oldest man mentioned in the Bible. He was…
