Night Off

[go-between.livejournal.com]

Richard's at the bar with a pint of lager and a distinct lack of children. He's leaning back on the barstool and toying with a red ring on his thumb.


{ooc: Must get some sleep now. Slowtime is love. ^_^ G'night!}

Chris rubs his back soothingly and kisses him again. "It's hard to find your place," he says gently. "You took a roundabout way, is all."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

He steals another kiss. They're addictive.

"Aye, it was worth it to be where I am now. I'm glad I have my boys and that I met you and Loki and the others. But, sometimes I wish I could still hail a cab or watch the telly."

"Even the television doesn't see you?" He tsks.

[go-between.livejournal.com]

He shakes his head.

"No, most modern electronics don't work for me. But I can usually manage vending machines, the trains, and Da's old turntable. Got a good antique radio too. Who needs surroundsound?"

Chris studies him, and then presses his palm to Richard's forehead and says quietly, "Hm."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

Richard feels warmth and love wash over him and takes a moment to melt into it.

"mmmmmmmmm..."

[blueskinnedboy.livejournal.com]

"If I . . . change something . . . here . . ." Chris murmurs. "Hmm."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

Richard blinks and twitches.

"Whatwasthat?"

[blueskinnedboy.livejournal.com]

"Just an adjustment. The television should work for you now. And salespeople should notice you, though they may not remember you after you leave." He scrubs his hand through Richard's hair and grins at him. "We'll see how that works before I try anything larger."

He blinks a bit more.

"Thanks."

He shakes his head out again, and then curls back into Chris' side.

"Y'know. I've never thought to ask for help on that. Seems a bit silly now."

[blueskinnedboy.livejournal.com]

"Some things you can't ask for, I think. They just have to . . . happen."

More kisses. He likes those.

[go-between.livejournal.com]

Kisses are very important.

"mmmmmmmm...are you busy tonight?"

[blueskinnedboy.livejournal.com]

"Never too busy for you."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

He grins and feels spoiled and loved.

"Could we bugger off, then?"

[blueskinnedboy.livejournal.com]

Chris laughs and jumps to his feet. "We could do that, certainly."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"I want you all to m'self for a while. Where to?"

He stands and slides an arm around Chris' waist.

[blueskinnedboy.livejournal.com]

"Your place or mine?"

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"Yours. It's my night off."

[blueskinnedboy.livejournal.com]

"New York, then? It's simplest."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

He nods.

"I like the place in New York. It's nice."

He guides Chris to the door.

"Do the honours?"

[blueskinnedboy.livejournal.com]

He opens the door to his New York apartment. "Should I carry you over the threshold?" he teases.

[go-between.livejournal.com]

He rolls his eyes and then pretends to swoon.

"Oh yes, Daddy, please. It'd be ever so romantic."

[blueskinnedboy.livejournal.com]

Chris laughs and scoops him up, and carries him out of Milliways.
