[ Are you telling me Sholmes doesn't enjoy stripping Kotetsu? ]
Mmhmm.
[ He slips into the hot tub and slides into the spot next to Sholmes because he doesn't sit five feet apart. He slips one arm around Sholmes' shoulder as he leans to kiss his jaw. ]
I was thinking of trying to use the knife on the barrier. Try it out at curfew... Maybe I should stop an execution.
It could. I could also use my feather to stop time for 30 seconds when I did it. No one would know I did it. I'd be the only one able to move.
[ He doesn't know if he should save that power for later, or what. But he thought about it.]
Rameel also suggested pushing things to their limit. Which... I have mixed feelings about. I don't want any of the Watchers hurt for these limits being pushed. But I could also try to hide the knife somehow.
Well, this is what I was suggested when I asked Rameel. But I should probably see what the Celestials think.
[ And, well, the Temporals were all there to overhear... ]
Their suggestion isn't exactly ideal. I'd lose the knife to someone else and the Watchers would get punished. But it would prevent more death. It could help break the cycle, Sholmes. It could be a key.
[ I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TYPO. I'M LAUGING SO HARD I'M CRYING. ]
I'll talk to you after I find out what they think. [ But he leans closer again, trying to kiss at his jaw again. ]
I don't want to do anything that'll possibly put me in lasting danger, either. Our promise is too important to me. Which is why I'm also talking to you about things before I jump right in.
If I didn't talk to you about all these things, what could would all our promises and trust be?
[ He kisses further down his jaw to his throat, sucking very lightly there. His hand moves over to brush along Sholmes' thigh. They can talk while they do this, right? ]
We'll weigh the options so I know what to do when the time comes.
They can't. Our group is working very hard to figure out all the answers. And if have any questions you wanted that you're not sure if you can get answers about... I can always bring them to the table.
[ And since they're getting more friendly again, he's moving to straddle Sholmes' lap, his tongue running along his throat before planting kisses all the way to his shoulder. ]
Mmm... Sholmes....
me looking into the distance as i slap the nsfw label on this preemptively
Nero and I were gossiping about you. [ Yes, you specifically, Sholmes. He grins a bit at that. ] And some of us were sharing drinks during it. But there were a lot of really good people there.
[ He laughs a bit at Sholmes' question, nuzzling at his neck. ]
About how much important you were to me... and that I'm glad you two got to be friends. How I want to protect you... and he told me that it goes both ways when you care about each other as much as we do.
[ He's got no problems sharing this fondness with Sholmes. He smiles against his neck before nibbling softly. ]
Mm, somehow I don't think you actually mind the attention...
I'm...glad, too. Mr. Turner really is a dear friend of mine, now. To hear that he would put his trust in me from the man himself was very touching.
[A low laugh. It's funny, how in despair he's been for the last several days and how here with Kotetsu, that sort of thing melts away. It's still very much there, but...banished, now, to the background.]
[ Good. He think it's cute when Sholmes is bashful. ]
It makes me incredibly happy to hear that. You both are very good people.
[ It's good, to keep their focused and spirits up now. He meant what he said earlier that they could work through all this trauma and pain later... when they have time and aren't fighting for their lives and the existence of their worlds. ]
[Wow, totally not cute (he is a bit cute, maybe.)]
Not at all. It is a most correct deduction.]
[And now he's shifting, giving a bite to the other's jaw, playful. There's so much suffering, so much torment, so many things that have assaulted them, day after day. They need the distraction. A moment where none of that matters, and they can enjoy each other.]
[His regular hand moves down into the water to slide over a thigh.]
[ Moments like these are Kotetsu's break. The comments of people saying they want him to take care of himself, not overwork him... He has Sholmes to take care of him, and the reverse being true. But they have that balance of having both very serious conversation and complete indulgence. It works for them.
With the touch, he presses a little closer to Sholmes, encouraging more. His teeth lightly graze over Sholmes' neck. ]
[everyone: kotetsu please take care of yourself kotetsu: okay time to bang my hot detective boyfriend for self care]
Perfect, indeed.
[A low sigh. The man's body shifts against him, and his fingers brush over his skin, cupping his upper thigh to give it a squeeze. His thumb starts to circle close to his groin.]

Something you want to try?
[A kiss to his lips, before going to the hot tub. Ooh! It really is hot! He's easing himself in.]
Do tell me all about it.
no subject
Mmhmm.

Mmm. [They are definitely gay. His hand moves to slid over the other's abdomen.] And...wait.
[He draws back, a bit alarmed.]
That would reveal yourself, wouldn't it? You could...you could be put in danger.
no subject
It could. I could also use my feather to stop time for 30 seconds when I did it. No one would know I did it. I'd be the only one able to move.
[ He doesn't know if he should save that power for later, or what. But he thought about it.]

[A sigh as he nuzzles against the other's neck.]
Maybe you should ask the Watchers for their advice? What I also worry are those spectres...
no subject
[ And, well, the Temporals were all there to overhear... ]
Their suggestion isn't exactly ideal. I'd lose the knife to someone else and the Watchers would get punished. But it would prevent more death. It could help break the cycle, Sholmes. It could be a key.

[This. Sounds very reckless.]
That sounds like large risk, little reward. It could do nothing at all.
no subject
Let me ask the Celestials. See what their opinion is on the matter.
[ Then again, they're also reckless idiots, but he sighs. ]
Are you mostly afraid of what will happen to me, if it doesn't work?
no subject
[He turns his head to place a kiss to his hand.]
I don't want you putting yourself in needless danger.
no subject
So are you against the idea of me even asking the Celestials what they think?
no subject
Oh, you can ask them. But I don't want you getting in more trouble than you can handle.
no subject
I'll talk to you after I find out what they think. [ But he leans closer again, trying to kiss at his jaw again. ]
I don't want to do anything that'll possibly put me in lasting danger, either. Our promise is too important to me. Which is why I'm also talking to you about things before I jump right in.

Mm. [Lifting his head to let the man get further access.] I'm glad you are. I really do appreciate it, immensely.

[He murmurs at the other man's kisses to to his lower neck, his face a little flushed. His own hand moves to slide over the other's chest.]
Information is always welcome. We need as much of it as we can to plan around the ones who stand in our way. They can't stop us, anymore.

[ And since they're getting more friendly again, he's moving to straddle Sholmes' lap, his tongue running along his throat before planting kisses all the way to his shoulder. ]
Mmm... Sholmes....

[The sudden movement makes his blush deepen - he reaches out to grasp the other's waist to hold him where he is.]
Ha. Really can't get enough of me, can you?
cries into my hands, thank you...
[ He laughs a bit at Sholmes' question, nuzzling at his neck. ]
No... I can't. Is it too much?
Re: cries into my hands, thank you...
[He shakes his head, looking away - almost bashfully. One hand trails up the other's back.]
No. It feels right.
no subject
[ He's got no problems sharing this fondness with Sholmes. He smiles against his neck before nibbling softly. ]
Mm, somehow I don't think you actually mind the attention...
no subject
[Now he's bashful for different reasons.]
I'm...glad, too. Mr. Turner really is a dear friend of mine, now. To hear that he would put his trust in me from the man himself was very touching.
[A low laugh. It's funny, how in despair he's been for the last several days and how here with Kotetsu, that sort of thing melts away. It's still very much there, but...banished, now, to the background.]
Is that your deduction, my dear?
no subject
It makes me incredibly happy to hear that. You both are very good people.
[ It's good, to keep their focused and spirits up now. He meant what he said earlier that they could work through all this trauma and pain later... when they have time and aren't fighting for their lives and the existence of their worlds. ]
It is. Do you have an objection to that?
no subject
Not at all. It is a most correct deduction.]

The perfect pair, then.
