Making you look good

He Caught Me

[Feels his entire body kindle with warmth from Allen’s touch, a sensation familiar and welcomed by him. The only thing he had for this man was love, after all.]

Could you? [Curls his fingers around Allen’s hand in a soft grasp, locking them there above his flesh.] Why don’t you then? There’s nothing stopping you, you know. Nothing stopping either of us tonight.

[Tucks the fingers of his other hand underneath the towel and gently loosens it.]

I love it when you're eager... [Plants another soft kiss on Neil's jawline, his tongue slipping out between his lips, trailing the bone, down the man's neck, stopping where the neck meets his shoulder, pressing his lips against the bare, wet, skin.]

[Tugs at the loosened towel, to which it collapses, falling to the floor in a messy pile, the man now fully revealed to Allen. His hand tights around the hardened, heated flesh.] And look at that, you're already just as excited as I am... Aren't you?

[Hums, deep and low, pressing his soft lips against Neil's shoulder once more. His mouth opens slightly, teeth pressing into the flesh softly.]

He Caught Me

[Had started daydreaming about how to spend the rest of the evening, combing through different options in his head—maybe lounge around on the catch, play the guitar for Allen, or—]

…

[Feels his husband’s body heat caressing him, paralyzed in place. He accidentally drops the towel he was using to dry off his damp blonde hair. It falls perfectly before his feet.]

Wh— [Cheeks heat up when he feels just where Allen’s hand was stroking.] N-No. Who said that I was trying to get away from you…

…

[Gently caps his hands over Allen’s, the leftover warmth from the shower exuding from them.]

#i love you too ♥#just neil with it #asks

I saw you walking in a different direction than mine ... that means you're walking away from me, doesn't it, my prince? [Smirks, pursing his lips and planting a soft, gentle kiss on Neil's jaw bone. Takes in a slow, deep breath. The scent of citrus exuded off of Neil's hot skin.] Mmm... [Exhales out, very slowly, the smirks still tugging at the corners of his mouth.] You used that new body wash I got for you, I see. You smell amazing..

[Fingers dance around Neil's bare skin, trailing along the muscles that tightened from his touch.] So amazing I think I could just eat you up... ♪

[Exits the bathroom after having taken a quick shower, droplets of water dripping from his chin and neck all the way down his bare chest--and the only thing covering him is the white towel wrapped around his waist. He wanders nonchalantly down the hall like this, drying off his hair with another smaller towel.]

[Sitting up in bed, propped up by a pillow. A cup of coffee in one hand, casually hovering around his lips, and a fashion magazine in the other, held open in front of his face, blocking all view.]

[Hears the bathroom door open, wet, sloshing steps making their way down the hallway. Lowers the magazine from his view, peering out the open door and into the hallway. Within a few moments, Neil walks past the doorway, dripping wet. Allen smirks in response, sets down his cup of coffee on a coaster resting on his nightstand. Tosses his magazine somewhere random on the bed, swings his legs over the side of the bed, and walks towards the doorway, in hot pursuit of the man who was just there seconds ago.]

[Strolls out into the hallway, and quietly follows behind Neil, socked feet masking the sound of his footsteps.] ... ♪

[Decides he is tired of waiting. Brings his arms around his waist, one hand resting on Neil's abdomen, the other gently resting above a bulge rising from the white cotton. He then brings his chin to rest on Neil's shoulder once he stops moving, clearly shocked from the sudden intimate touch.]

Did you think you would get away from me, looking like this?

. . .

[Doesn't notice Allen asleep on the couch at first - until he takes another step into the living room. Eyes widen slightly, before the blonde breaks into a small smile and breathes out a sigh. He whispers to himself:] Of course you would. [Makes his way over to the couch, where he lowers himself to his husband's side. Very gently, he removes the frames and sets them on the table. Turns another smile on Allen's sleeping face, straightening up.] I should get him a blanket--

[Stirs when the glasses are removed from the tip of his nose. Hand twitches ever so slightly, and his eyes begin to flutter open, his mouth crooked from being woken from his nap.] …

[Squints almost instantly from the light in the room, and decides to keep his eyes shut, reaching out out to Neil with the hand dangling off the couch.]

You’re home early.

#asks #just neil with it

((because I love you)) [Has walked into the house, the sound of the door shutting behind him.] Allen, I'm home! Sorry, I'm a little late! [Slips out of his shoes and begins unbuttoning his jacket. Too eager to see his husband, he wanders off towards the living room in search of him, poking his head in to see if the other man is there.]

[Completely sprawled out on the couch, legs up on the arm rest, one hand on his stomach and the other dangling off the edge of the couch, resting atop the back of Neil’s dog.]

[T.V. is muted, but some fashion show is on while he sleeps.] [Glasses are practically fallen off his face. Doesn’t budge even through Neil calling his name.]

…

Umm… [Felicity suddenly felt extremely flustered, thinking in retrospect that this subject was not a good one to bring up] I wouldn’t say against… [She bites her lip, because she knows ‘against’ describes her family to a tee] It’s just that I was never exposed to anything else. I went to an all girl’s academy and we weren’t allowed within 3 inches of each other at any given time. And then, by the time I started travelling, I was the perfect example of how sheltering a child is a bad thing. [She tightens her hands together]

[Stares at her from above his glasses while she speaks, unsure of what to make of the whole situation.]

[The bus arrives, and Allen pulls away his attention for a quick moment, walking up the steps of the bus, inserting the fee into the slot, then taking a seat towards the front -- another space beside him for Felicity.] Sounds like the breeding ground of a bad girl to me. The all girls, strict living thing.

Oh, there he is! [Allen&Neil]

[Looks to the shirt he had just found for Allen, and then to his partner’s pants. A blush spread on his nose, having not realized that he picked up so well on Allen’s style over the course of their relationship.]

Well, I guess so. I think I’m just better at matching your clothes now though. Because, well— [Slowly looks down to his own attires - a plain white v-neck with plain dark-washed denim jeans.] Yeah, nevermind. Anyway!

[Twirls the tongs in his hand, moving to place the coals on the top of the hookah - before his attention is brought to Allen’s glass.]

Oh, you like it? Good, I’m glad. It’s a mix I stole from my mom’s old recipe book that uses fresh peaches. I think that’s what does it. [Once he’s done with the hookah, he opts to pick up his own glass and hold it out towards Allen with a smirk.] Cheers!

#Just neil with it #man the hookah pete and i smoked was shit #utter shit #MAN I DIDNT EVEN KNOW YOU COULD MESS UP HOOKAH #BUT APPARENTLY YOU CAN

[Eyes Neil as he looks down at himself and his own clothing. A smirk grows on his lips -- the signature, smug smirk he almost always wore, but he doesn't say a word, and takes another sip of his drink, shutting his eyes.]

Its delicious. We have to visit your mom again sometime soon. Before the winter hits. What do you think?

[Opens a single eye, looking to Neil. Smiles, lifts his glass.] Cheers, love. ♥ [Clings his glass to Neil's, then takes another sip. Afterwards, he nods his head towards the hookah.] It done?

Oh, there he is! [Allen&Neil]

[Appears back into the patio after some moments pass by, holding a shirt that somehow matched his husband’s pants.]

Here. [Walk down the steps and holds it out to him.] Found this one. Lemme know you’d rather me grab you another, ok?

[Blinks down at the peach bellini in Allen’s hands, before smiling.]

How is it? I’ve never made that one before, so it might taste a little rusty. But it’s good with fresh peaches, huh?

#oh teasing #teehee #just neil with it

Oh -- thanks.. ♥ [Takes the shirt from Neil with a quick wink, but decides to sit with his shirt off for a while, carefully laying the shirt on the back of his chair.] This one should be more than fine. Heh, looks like my style and flair is contagious. Look at you, able to pick out matching clothes that isn't black on black. ♥ Hmm --? Oh, this? [Holds up the drink, swirling it around in its glass a bit.] It is actually, really, really delicious. I didn't know you were so good at making drinks. ♪

Well I have known both of you since I moved in. [she giggles and brushes her fingers through her hair]

Y’know. I grew up in a very conservative family.I was never exposed to families that aren’t… [she frowns in thought] I don’t want to say traditional. That doesn’t seem right. I guess all I knew were families that were mommy and daddy. But daddy and daddy is just as good. [she smiles and looks back up to him] I’ve been alive 24 years and that’s just now becoming apparent to me. Isn’t that sad?

#oop Allen might get a little mad here #:B #cutestcookinthekitchen

[Isn't entirely sure how to react to this statement, so he stares forward at the sidewalk with pinned eyebrows. Lips are in a hard line. Thinks to himself of how he was raised, and the things he was exposed to in his life, then shrugs.] I guess that is a little sad. [Hands shuffles in his pockets.] At least you aren't being ignorant about it, so I guess I can't really get... agitated. [Lifts his eyes, looking at her with a somewhat similar expression.] Was your family against relationships like mine or something?

[Shoves his hands into his pockets. The lights of the next town coming into view. Stores and restaurants begin to line up at their sides.]

You think so? Hmm —… [Smirks, thinking about how Neil would react to such a compliment.] What makes you say that~?

Well.. [they reach the bus stop, and Felicity sits down, fidgeting with her skirt.] Neil can be pretty strict, but he always knows what he’s doing. An you’re very, um, what’s the word… [puts a finger to her chin] passionate. That’s it. [she flashes him a smile]

#sorry for the late reply #orz #i suck i know #cutestcookinthekitchen

Yeah, that's something that I like about him. He's strict because he knows whats best in most scenarios. But he's also insanely sweet once you get to know him. I think he would be an excellent father. And, well, if he wants it [Pauses to lean up against the bus stop, crossing his arms over his chest.] I want him to have his child.

[Smirks, raising a brow at her.] Passionate, hm? Hah -- I know I am. ♪

[she smiles as she listens to him, watching as the dirt road becomes a paved one] I’m sure you would. [she giggles] And that kid would have the best hair in the world.

[she is silent for a moment, listening to the sound of their feet] I think both of you would make great dads.

[Shoves his hands into his pockets. The lights of the next town coming into view. Stores and restaurants begin to line up at their sides.]

You think so? Hmm --... [Smirks, thinking about how Neil would react to such a compliment.] What makes you say that~?

#cutestcookinthekitchen

Hmm... [taps her two index fingers together] If we take the bus, it's only a 5 minute walk. There's a bus station right outside of Echo, so that's our first stop.

[she starts to walk towards the town's exit, her arms swinging loudly at her sides] Have you two thought about raising a child at all? [she turns her neck slightly to look at him, genuinely curious about his response]

#its fine!#and look at that it actually showed you responded this time #go figure :D #cutestcookinthekitchen

Then the bus it is. [quickly takes out his wallet from his back pocket, looking to see if he has the appropriate amount of change for a ride. nods to himself when he sees he does, folding the wallet back up and putting it away in his pocket.]

[when she asks the question, he gives her a blank look.] ..

[hums to himself as he muses over the question.] We haven't spoken about it. But, personally? I think I would like to raise a kid with him. [Smiles to himself.] I'd spoil the hell out of that kid.

Oh! [her eyes brighten at his offer] That would be lovely. I’ll take you to mine and my sisters favorite pub in the whole city. I think you’ll like it.

[as he calls Neil, she pulls a small mirror out of her clutch and puts on a layer of lipstick to busy herself]

Making you look good: cutestcookinthekitchen: Oh! [her eyes brighten at his offer] That...

No trouble from me, sir! [she giggles and walks towards the door, her heels clicking on the tile]

[as they leave, Felicity looks to Allen's hand admiring the ring] So, how's the married life. Is it as exciting and fun like the books say?
