Heyyyyyyyyy, you know who you've got, babe. Say what you've gotta say.

[A long pause.

Shuffling.

Cloth.

Clatter.


Another long pause.


The actual cacophony of Finch's dorm.

And if you haven't hung up YET:]

Saints! Is this still o-?

[BEEEEEEEEEP.]

I ain't promising nothing. Don't get your hopes up.

[It's not much to look at, but it seems to be some sort of candy mounted on skewers from the kitchen ruin]

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

[It smells like sugar. Saints, maybe even sweetened saps you get on the waffles and-]

For me?

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

All yours. See how they move ya.

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

Don't mind if I do~~

[He takes the little glob and pops it in his mouth, arranging the skewer idly.]

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

[It tastes remarkably like maple candy, but not quite; it's sweet and mild and smoky, and actually quite good]

[Sweets are a luxury of the rich, really. And Jesper has wealth in the negatives. Expansive wealth in the negatives. The only other time he gets sweets are games and-

Oh, oh this is guilt free. He makes a pleased little sound and sinks down fully into the pillows.]

You should tell me what I did to earn this so I can do it more often...

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

Looked like a fella who could use some sweets.

They come out any good?

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

I'm halfway to melted. I think you can call that a RESOUNDING win.

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

Halfway to melting, huh?

Well, that is promising.

[Turns sideways a little, lazy, to press a kiss to his jaw]

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

[Jesper laughs, just lifting his chin and going boneless.]

All the way? Very close to all the way.

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

[Another kiss, soft]

Sounds like I got to spoil you a little more.

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

[He laughs, running a hand along Eddie's back.]

Ohh? I'll allow it~

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

I'm taking suggestions, ya know.

[Another kiss, and another]

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

[Oh, oh he loves that. Between the warmth from the kotatsu, the cushions and the press of another person and the little array of kisses. He just, closes his eyes for a moment and SOAKS in it.]

What could I possibly do to improve on this? [Except cup Eddie's face and pull him up for a deeper kiss for a long, languid moment.]

Saints, but I do love you.

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

[He goes easy enough -- leans into the kiss]

[When it's done he looks languid and pleased, like a cat lying in the sun. (And if there's the slightest hint of color to his cheeks at the casual verbal affection, he certainly doesn't acknowledge it)]

Love you too, bo.

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

[There's just a happy, pleased scale his hum climbs up at Eddie's response.]

... Think anyone'd miss us? Just today, wiling away a little time together.

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

Oh, I'd wager we got a good couple hours at least.

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

I think we could figure out a use or two of the time.

[He grabs another maple sweet and then drapes on Eddie.]

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

Sounds like you got something in mind.

[Drapes an arm over him, casual and warm]

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

There's work I could do. That cage isn't making itself.

[He shifts the skewer in his mouth. The candy melts quickly.]

But I was also thinking that there might be a little inch or two of you that I HAVEN'T kissed yet. It would be a shame to leave it unkissed.

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

Hmmm. I'd wager there's parts of you I ain't kissed yet, neither.

Work'll keep a while, won't it? There's always after, if we ain't too worn out.

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

You DO always know how to have a good time...

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

Don't I, though?

Little kissing, little petting. Maybe after we can try out that thing I mentioned, since you were so keen.

Re: Day 65, morning

[hottest_shot]

... the [he makes a YOU AND ME gesture] that thing?

Re: Day 65, morning

[nowyouseemenowyoudont]

That thing, yeah.
