Warnings: Some suggestiveness
Summary: STAR WARS CROSSOVER!  The Jedi Knight Hika-Ru Sulu meets a rakish rogue who will end up changing his life, in a strangely purple-prosaic adventure.
Note: Short dumbness for the illustrious [livejournal.com profile] littlewolfstar, who drew this picture of hot hot Jedi Sulu and wistfully expressed a desire for fic ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. OTL please forgive my snail-like pace. ;A;




Hika-Ru Sulu had been training as a Jedi since the age of four. His thoughts were deep, yet calm, like an ocean planet at midnight, and his feelings were fully under control.

Or so he thought, until he laid eyes upon the man he was to escort to Coruscant for the first time.

"Hika-Ru, you are to escort Mr. Cheko to Coruscant," Yoda told him at the launchpad, but Hika-Ru was hardly listening. Pav Cheko, intergalactic space pirate and ne'er-do-well extraordinaire, was grinning at him, lapis-lazuli eyes sparkling beneath his sexy rakish hair. His slim yet manly body was showed off to its finest in his black vest and slim yet manly denim trousers, his blaster holster riding low on his sinfully delicious, yet manly, hips.

Hika-Ru managed to stay impassive and professional as they shook hands, but he felt, for the first time since his padawan days, a stab of fear. Could this be the man the prophecy warned me about -- the one who will make me forget all my training?

***

Pav Cheko found himself cursing his ship, the Quadratic Equation, and its malfunctioning hyperdrive. If it had been working properly, the trip from Dantooine to Coruscant would have only been a few days, rather than two weeks, and maybe he wouldn't find himself so obsessed with the Jedi escort that had been assigned to him.

He cursed himself inwardly as he made yet another excuse to crawl down to the engine room, just so he could avoid the dark-haired man for another few hours. What's going on? I thought I hated all Jedi! But his childhood prejudice had crumbled apart the second he'd seen the tall brunet. Hika-Ru was nothing like the sexless priests he had imagined all Jedi to be, with his golden skin and obsidian hair and dark, very hot eyes that seemed to swallow Pav right up. Not to mention his strong, hotly-muscled body, lean and taut from years of training. It was getting harder and harder to keep up his persona of devil-may-care intergalactic space pirate around the hot Jedi when all Pav wanted to do was drag him into the cockpit, tear off his robes, and --

Pav swallowed. He wasn't sure if he was going to make it the whole two weeks.

***

They had touched down at a mining facility, just a few ramshackle biodomes on a terraformed moon, when the tension finally reached the breaking point. They were in the cantina, waiting for the Equation's engines to be refueled, when Pav started teasing Hika-Ru about the Force again, calling it a lot of superstitious mumbo-jumbo and daring him to make their drinks float in the air.

"The surest way to know one is not worthy of the Force is the desire to abuse it," Hika-Ru told him mildly, ignoring how his heartbeat quickened when Pav threw his head back and laughed.

But Pav just kept on badgering him for a demonstration of his "superpowers," as he called them. Finally, Hika-Ru, against his better judgment and all his training, closed his eyes, relaxed, reached into the Force connecting them across the table and said, How's this, Mr. Cheko? into Pav's mind.

The connection was broken almost at once, with Pav jumping back violently and blinking at Hika-Ru. The Jedi himself felt dizzy. He had no idea a tiny telepathic connection with the intergalactic space pirate would feel so... intimate. And now Pav was staring at him with those green-glass eyes, his lips slightly parted...

"I'm gonna go see if they have any power converters," Pav sputtered abruptly, leaping up from the table and running out the door before Hika-Ru had time to react.

***

Pav shook his head firmly as he pushed his way through the jostling crowd. He wondered what was wrong with him. What's wrong with me? he wondered. One really, really hot Jedi is all it takes for me to forget my promise? For Pav had indeed made a promise to himself, many years ago, that no man would ever have his heart -- especially no Jedi -- a secret promise he'd never told anyone about. But that was a memory to think about another day.

"Ho there, Cheko!" came a deep, slithery voice suddenly, breaking him out of his reverie.

Pav swallowed, stopping in his tracks. He knew that voice. But how could he have found me here? He turned around slowly, trying not to let his fear show on his face, and --




"Are you up to the sex scene yet?" interrupts Chekov, bouncing impatiently on Sulu's bed.

"No, I'm gonna save you from Wictor the Hutt first," says Sulu from his desk, sticking his tongue out a little in concentration as he types on his PADD.

"But I want the sex!"

"No, it'll be better this way, trust me. I'm gonna throw him off the promenade with the Force and you're gonna blast his tail off, it'll be really cool."

"Fine," says Chekov with a sigh. He bounces to his feet and looks over Sulu's shoulder. "But you did put in how hot you are, like I said, yes?"

"Yes," says Sulu long-sufferingly.

"And how you have the hots for me also?"

"Yeah, check it out." Sulu shows him the paragraph about the trousers and the hips.

Chekov grins -- before lowering himself to Sulu's lap.

"Are you sure it is not time for the sex part?" he asks him wistfully, playing with his hair.

"Um. Well." Sulu clears his throat. "I was thinking we should actually, like... work out exactly how we want that to go, first."

"Oh?"

"Yeah." Sulu turns off his monitor and pulls Chekov closer. "After all, they say to write what you know."

Chekov grins, nuzzling their noses together. "So this is research?"

"And may the Force be with us," Sulu murmurs against his lips.

LOL! I ADORE this! So much fun! You had me grinning from Pav Cheko, intergalactic space pirate and ne'er-do-well extraordinaire, was grinning at him, lapis-lazuli eyes sparkling beneath his sexy rakish hair. His slim yet manly body was showed off to its finest in his black vest and slim yet manly denim trousers, his blaster holster riding low on his sinfully delicious, yet manly, hips. Such an awesome description! I want a pic of Pavel in Han Solo clothes now! (still LOLing over here) And I absolutely cracked up at the Quadratic Formula and the overwrought angst and prophecies and then it was Hikaru writing! I just about died. SO PERFECT! I can just picture it! Hikaru trying to write this fanfic masterpiece and Pavel bouncing on the bed and wanting the sex. Oh my goodness. I enjoyed this sooooooo freaking much, you have no idea! *loves you forever*

Oh my God, me too, so much. I may have to do a horrible manip. But I don't feel sorry for Chekov because I suspect he got the sex at last. ;x

SULU YOUR CHARACTERS ARE KIND OF GARY-STU-ISH >:c, Spock will tell him.

And then Spock will storm back to his quarters and boot up Uniwerse of Warcraft and his level 70 Night Elf (female).

You know they're all huge nerds, it gets boring out in space without such hobbies!

I have a sneaking suspicion each may have penned the other's descriptory paragraphs. While frequently interrupting each other.

P: "Remember, Hikaru -- manly!"
H: (rolls eyes, adds another "manly")

Believe it or not I wrote this months before the recent kerfluffle re: Chekovian manliness. Hmm, sci-fi really IS prescient.

I was smiling from: intergalactic space pirate and ne'er-do-well extraordinaire and started laughing here: It was getting harder and harder to keep up his persona of devil-may-care intergalactic space pirate. This was hilarious and adorable. Lmao after this Chekov is going to be bragging to everyone what a brilliant writer his Sulu is :**)

I have to admit, at first I started reading this and I quickly scanned ahead to see if it was going to get better. But then I got to the reveal and went right back to the beginning so I could roll around in all that purple prose and savor it...like Hika-Ru will savor Pav's slim, sinfully delicious yet manly body.

Fucking brilliant. A++ Would LOL again. :D

LOL, this is actually good to hear, because it means that a story I've posted with such, um, colorful writing, might raise a few eyebrows. T-that's what it means, right??? ;A; (Don't shatter my illusions, just nod)

Okay, so I got to the 'slim yet manly' parts and kind of quirked an eyebrow and wondered if you had lost your mind. And I may possibly have scrolled to the end to see wtf was going on.

AND NOW I UNDERSTAND HOW GLORIOUS THIS IS.

I imagine this was a conversation they had over breakfast in the mess after watching the original trilogy the night before, and they had to rush back and type it out while acting out the lightsaber duels (and sex scenes) because they're adorable dorky boys. ;___;
