David walks in, a large, leather-bound copy of Paradise Lost in his hands. He takes a look around, obviously hoping to see someone, before sighing tiredly and settling down by the couches to read.

[ooc: another Loki-trick for David, but wander over into the fun and watch me flail. Loki's not the only one hoping he gets it right...]

"Maybe you miss the idea of us, what you remember we were."

He is just as quiet.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Maybe." He pulls away and leans back on the couch with a sigh. He looks at David. "Am I pathetic?"

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

David shakes his head.

"No, you're human. That's all."

He reaches a hand out to touch Charlie carefully on the shoulder.

"You've got a big heart, love. It's no wonder you keep so much and so many inside of it."

[bloodyrockgod]

"And here I thought I was just promiscuous," Charlie says and nudges David's knee with his own.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

David nudges back with a laugh.

"That too."

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie chuckles and moves his head closer to David's shoulder again, if not resting on it entirely.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

David sighs a little tiredly and turns to press a kiss to Charlie's forehead.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Are you sure you're all right?" Charlie murmurs, looking at him through half-closed eyes. "Anything you want to tell me?"

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He shakes his head, carefully so as not to knock into Charlie.

"No. Just concerned about you and a few others. You know how this place is... always something going wrong."

[bloodyrockgod]

"True enough." He strokes David's cheek. "Anything I can do?"

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

David smiles and turns to press a kiss to Charlie's hand.

"No, love, just the usual. But don't think I don't appreciate the offer."

[bloodyrockgod]

"The usual, eh? Cuddle you, yell at you, or lick you?" He smiles, keeping his hand cupping David's jaw.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

"I believe the phrase is 'two out of three ain't bad'?"

He smiles and leans forward to give a teasing lick to Charlie's neck.

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie yelps because damn his neck is ticklish, and then licks him back.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

David laughs, but quite obviously not at the tickling. He's just amused.

"Oh, as if you've got a chance."

David goes for his neck again.

[bloodyrockgod]

More yelping and squirming, with some "Ack! I can't--David--breathe--" and he grips David's waist, trying to get some leverage as he laughs helplessly.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He leans back with a satisfied grin before reaching forward to lick the tip of Charlie's nose.

"Then my job is done, I suppose."

[bloodyrockgod]

"Wanker," Charlie says, narrowing his eyes, but chuckling with deep affection. He's still holding David's waist and his fingers flex a little. Quite possibly with muscle-memory.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He smirks.

"Actually, I find I don't really have to since I can find someone to do it for me."

He's still laughing a little as well.

[bloodyrockgod]

"And cheeky, too," Charlie says. "We are full of ourselves today."

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He grins.

"Something like that."

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie lets go of his waist and leans back into the couch again. "I'll try not to envy you too much."

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He laughs.

"Oh, thank you, love. I can be glad of that at least."

He notices a familiar face (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/3114557.html) and sighs with relief that he didn't notice him. It will take some serious explanation to deal with this.

He smiles at Charlie.

"I just saw someone come in that I need to speak to, though. You won't be too mad at me if I scuttle off, will you?"

[bloodyrockgod]

"Of course not. Have fun."

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He leans forward and gives Charlie a light kiss to the lips before heading out.

"Thanks, love."
