Soft. Warm. Cozy.
The beep of the Watch is gentle, a considerately low sound when rousing newly arrived wildcards while a small vibration tickles the wrist. Satin sheets slide with the lazy stretch of legs. Bedding shuffles. The room is a comfortable temperature but … for some reason, it’s maybe a touch too warm? And cramped?
As characters rouse from their slumber (or otherwise blink into awareness) they will find that they are now in a shitty resort room. They have been temporarily allocated a rank 2 suite. These suites are small and the twin bed takes up the majority of the space inside. Walkable area is minuscule. There is no decor or window. All characters are naked, wearing only a white terrycloth robe knotted at the waist. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
But perhaps that’s not the most alarming part.
They’re not alone.
All characters will find themselves waking up in pairs. Not only have they woken up in an entirely unknown place, they are pressed up against and/or are cuddling what may potentially be a total stranger. Even if a pair is lucky enough to know one other ... pretty awkward waking up together like this, isn't it?
Due to holiday overbooking all characters are required to share a room while the backlog of reservations are processed. Some of these rank 2 suites may even have three temporary residents if you’re feeling spicy.
The resort is truly sorry that they overbooked during the holiday season. This is unprecedented. They have never before seen the house bring in so many new guests at once. Without even a heads up for the staff. It’s like being middle management isn’t worth it! For the sake of avoiding headaches and customer complaints, wildcards will find that each room has an included a gift basket as an apology for the inconvenience.
Wildcards that explore outside will find staff running around like frenzied hens. These employees will encourage wildcards to go wash up in the bathroom, a communal space with plenty of free supplies for newcomers. The communal bathroom is a clean area with multiple open showers, sinks, and water closets. Wildcards will find shelves stocked with basic toiletries and clean towels. They will also find other general bathroom amenities available for use like hair dryers, face masks, scrub brushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, and so on.
All facilities inside the communal bathroom aside from the toilets are open concept and there is no separation based on gender (or anything else). Everyone is expected to share.
Some of the staff will pity these poor new guests that have had their reservations pushed out. They will show characters the way to one of the small supply closets that are used by cleaning staff. The closet is small but fully stocked with linens, extra toiletries, pillows, robes, slippers, and yellow Golden Peacock tracksuits in a full range of sizes. They will encourage wildcards to take whatever they want before running off again.
But those that aren’t careful might find themselves in an interesting predicament.
Wildcards will find that the hallways of the basement are chilly and narrow. Heading to the end of the hallway will reveal a stairwell where they can ascend to check out the main resort. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

ODDS
ODDS
A bird cries in the distance. Water beads trickle down chilled flesh. Itch itch itch—something pokes your bare ass.
The beep of the Watch is as gentle as it was for the new arrivals that didn’t wake up on the cold hard ground but the sound blends into the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of the river. Unlike their luckier colleagues, some wildcards have unexpectedly woken up in the middle of lush vegetation. Oops! That was a miscalculation. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale will be completely naked and without a resort robe to cover up. Lost amid thick bushes, mushroom clusters, and towering trees, it doesn't feel like they're in a resort at all. Isn't this a rainforest? By all accounts, this is a rainforest.
Those that wake in the Vale will have to make their way through the rainforest to find the exit. Really, so unexpected! This was not what we had in our system at all. It must be overloaded from high demand. Our apologies. Please don't complain.
Laughter rings throughout the forest. Footsteps echo. Branches snap. There are other people around aside from you naked newbies. If eavesdropped upon, wildcards may pick up on what these guests are cawing about. It sounds like they’re playing some kind of game.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale may unwittingly stumble into one of the resort’s popular roleplaying games: Sexy Hunter 💕 and 💕 Sexier Prey.
There are numerous booby traps set around the forest. The goal of the game is to trap your prey and take them home for kinky fun and these guests weren't expecting newbies to suddenly drop in! The traps won’t hurt anyone but they will put them in some embarrassing positions.
After braving the elements and surviving booby traps, these wildcards may finally find civilization. The lounge pagoda where many of the long-standing guests are hanging out and enjoying drinks is comfortable and connected to a bathroom where characters can themselves clean up. In contrast to the naked muddy wildcards, the guests on the pagoda are dressed in trendy and elaborate clothing.
They stare at the newly arrived nude wildcards before breaking into shouts of glee and approval.
“Yes, brilliant idea, it’s a naked party! Whoohoo! Come on everyone. Take your clothes off. All of them! Naked party, naked party, naked party!”
These NPCs will shed their clothing and begin to skinnydip in the pools and river. They will chase each other—and wildcards! Wildcards will find themselves surrounded by an orgy. They will encourage wildcards to join in on the fun and offer them food and drink to get into the mood.
Wildcards will find the exit out to the central hub and elevator bank behind the pagoda. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

MAIN LOBBY
MAIN LOBBY
The Peacock is buzzing with excitement! The massive main lobby is especially spectacular with golden streamers, dazzling lanterns, glittering ornaments, and cheerful music. There doesn’t seem to be one particular holiday being celebrated with the general theme being winter and holiday. An amalgamate like this resort simply couldn’t select one thing and had to go for everything (more is always better). The hallways and aisles are packed with streams of guests in ostentatious outfits. One can’t swing a cat without hitting someone*.
*No cats were harmed in the making of this TDM. We love cats.
There are sprigs of mistletoe above many of the hallways and doors. Surprisingly, the mistletoe have no supernatural abilities whatsoever, but guests that spy two people beneath the mistletoe together will point and demand they kiss. It’s tradition. Don’t be a downer during the festive season. Succumb to the peer pressure.
Hallways are also decorated with vases of poinsettia flowers. Nothing is amiss about these flowers during day hours, but during late night hours they will pick themselves up and trade vases with each other.
They are polite flowers and try to change when there are no guests around but don’t always manage to do it discreetly. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in the roots of the scrambling poinsettias. Wildcards who manage to grab these flowers and comb through their roots can collect a simple gold ring (along with shivers of, iyaaaa, we just met, so bold).
Birdbucks is likewise getting into the winter spirit. Despite there being no weather in the resort they are offering seasonal hot drinks! Prices aren’t any cheaper than usual but the quality is better than their standard coffee. They are offering four new delicious new flavors: Buttered Honey Rum Coffee, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Cinnamon Latte, and Rainbow Cookie Cappuccino.
These drinks won’t do anything other than make one wired from all the caffeine, but guests are encouraged to enjoy them around one of the fireplaces set up throughout the main hallways. Many people are snuggling up to the fire while nursing a Birdbucks drink and telling stories. A great way to get to know your fellow guests! Each fireplace is surrounded with festive cushions, beanbags, pillows, and blankets.
"Have you all heard about the Peacock’s annual wish tradition? No? I’m an old-timer around here, let me tell you … see those little jars hanging amongst the lights? You’re supposed to write down your heart’s desire on a piece of paper and stick it into the jar. Then, take a match and light it on fire. They say if you do that you’ll get your desire within the next 12 months. Me? I’m wishing for an older babe, a high rank babe, to become my sugar momma… what, doing it together with someone? Sure. They say that if you do it with someone you’ll have a fated connection forevermore. So don’t do it with someone you don’t like, hah!"
Wildcards will find that that loud guest isn’t lying. Many small glass jars hang alongside the fairy lights and there are multiple tables with paper, pens, and matches.
Guests are scribbling down their desires and stuffing them into the jars, watching with glee as the lit paper crumbles to ash. Couples who put their desires in the same jar are said to have a fated connection forever after so many couples can be found following the tradition. Nothing happens right away ... but who knows? It may prove to be true later.

RED CARDINAL
RED CARDINAL
Those looking to escape from the crowds will find respite in Red Cardinal. Despite being busier than usual, this particular bar remains serene with guests calmly enjoying food and drink. The decorations are minimal with a few red hanging paper lanterns. The proprietress, a handsome woman in her forties, works the bar while watching all guests with an eagle eye. Guests can be loud and out of control in the hallways; they aren’t going to behave that way in her bar.
Due to limited space, all wildcards that come alone looking for a meal will be seated at a two-top table with another wildcard. The menu for the holiday season is preset. All dishes are cooked by the proprietress's own hands, so the aroma has the comforting spice of homemade. She fully expects these wildcards to eat every single morsel. To leave any dish with scraps would offend her.
"Full? What do you mean, full? Look at you. You're so thin! Eat up, don't leave anything behind. Is my food not good enough? What's wrong with it?"
Guests that do not manage to finish the entire holiday spread will be bullied into washing dishes in the kitchen. The amount of dishes to be washed is massive. There is no dishwasher so it must all be done by hand. Wildcards sent to kitchen duty will not be allowed to leave until every dish is scrubbed clean. It's the least they can do after insulting her cooking by leaving food on the plate.
Guests that decide to skip the food and set up at the bar will find dozens of sealed wine jars. The proprietress will share that these wines are her personal make that she only offers once a year. She has not labeled the effects of these wines for her own personal amusement. Guests who wish to purchase a jug must select one based on the name written label, without knowing what may have been added into the mix.
Red Cardinal has all the other usual options as well. They carry basic spirits, beer, and other no-fuss drinks. Characters may also order small bar snacks like nuts and chips.
All jugs have a high APV. Drink too much and you may end up sleeping on the floor of the bar!

LOVE DOVE
LOVE DOVE
Love Dove, the resort's largest department store, is running a massive end of the year sale. All items are between 50% - 70% off, which is a massive bargain for those that are tight on chips!
Stepping inside will transport you away from the busy crowds of the main hallways and into several floors of retail magic. Not wanting to be outdone by competitors, Love Dove has pulled out all the stops to impress during the festive season with massive decorations and mannequin set-ups. Large bows and ribbons, boxes done up in shiny paper, trees and candelabras, sparkles sparkles sparkles. There are also several tables set up around the store offering complimentary glasses of wine and chocolate covered strawberries.
Characters will find a section for every kink imaginable in the store. Gaze in wonder upon the wall of strap-ons. Marvel at the wide shade range of the silicone penises. Bask the rainbow of silky lingerie—for both women and men. There are gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, including some design oddities of Love Dove’s own creation that wildcards may never have seen before. The store even has staged areas for guests to try out some of the more elaborate equipment before buying. While it is not encouraged to use anything insertable before buying for hygienic reasons, guests can turn display toys on to test vibration strength and suction power.
Despite being a sex department store, Love Dove also has several departments dedicated to regular clothing and undergarments. Characters will find decent basics like t-shirts, sweatpants, underwear, jackets, jeans, skirts, shoes, and dresses for slashed prices. Don't miss these deals! The sale ends when the winter festivities end.
At the front of the store there is a temporary section with an elaborate display. Wildcards will find Love Dove promoting masks and feathered costumes. They will hand out fliers inviting all guests the holiday masquerade. Drinks! Food! Dancing! A night that you surely won't forget! New guests simply cannot miss this party. Anyone who is anybody is going to be there.
All those who plan attend the masquerade are required to dress up. In the spirit of the season Love Dove is offering especially good sales on these elaborate costumes. For those with simpler tastes, there are also ballgowns and tuxedos in various prints and colors. The most important article is, of course, the mask.
Staff will encourage wildcards to pay particular attention in choosing a mask that resonates with them.
Masks with effects may be purchased and worn in any of the masquerade prompts.

LOVE DOVE (AT NIGHT)
LOVE DOVE ... AT NIGHT
For all the joy that comes with celebrating the holidays, the jubilant atmosphere can evoke loneliness in one's heart. There are many different kinds of loneliness. The melencholy of missing someone that's died. Sorrow from being parted from your family. The ache of watching the one you love celebrating with someone else. The mourning of being left behind by a friend. These feelings are fleeting in the resort—luxury and hedonism are great distractions—but where do they go after that?
Right now they're manifesting in the sex toys.
Guests browsing Love Dove during night hours will find that some of the sex toys have been possessed by residual loneliness.
Loneliness is a powerful force and it has granted the toys the power to act on their own. Guests had better watch out—as brainless tools gifted a sense of autonomy, all they know to do is fulfill their function.
The sex toys are low level and easy to fight off but please note the you break it you buy it signs posted all over the store. Can you afford to go all out, even with the current deals?

CASINO FLOOR
CASINO FLOOR
The Phoenix Casino has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Trademark royal blue has been replaced by shades of gold and white with pops of bright red lanterns. Guests in elaborate masks and costumes mesh together and then part, reveling in pretending to be someone else for a little while.
All have dressed to impress, sparing no expense in dripping themselves in precious gems and metals. Some of the guests are treated like gods—these are the royal rank guests and the difference in treatment from the rest of the crowd is palpable. These dazzling celebrities take up much of the spotlight, laughing loudly at card tables and shooing away anyone too low of a rank to breathe their air. They don't bother to hide their identities. Why, when they have the best of everything?
There are several game tables set up where crowds are playing and betting. Wildcards are encouraged to join in on the fun and given some grace from social judgement because they have no official rank yet. Some wildcards may even find guests making eyes at them over the table. After all, who knows if the house has been watching and decided that they’re a favorite? Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.
Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!

Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.
Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!
GAME ROOMS
GAME ROOMS
The resort has arranged for four special events during the masquerade. These events take place in private rooms away from the bustle of the main party. There is no advertising about what is in each room and many guests are swept into the momentum. Highly trained staff tending to the door will be quick in prepping wildcards who wander in, giving them little time to realize what exactly they’ve stumbled into before it begins.

And now that certain someone is drawing him together with a hand pressed flat to the base of his spine, returning his eager kisses with those that may be somewhat tentative in nature, but are gentle and slow and very much not about the rush, and suddenly Kaveh wonders if he's the right person for this after all, because he's horribly out of his depth right now.
Gentle— he can do gentle.
The fingers curled into Alhaitham's hair stroke through the strands, against his scalp in lazy, random patterns as, granted access to the other's mouth, his tongue licks into it, slow and searching, teasing its way along the inside of the scribe's lips before seeking to trace over his tongue too. His other hand, resting before on Alhaitham's face, slips down, fingers tracing over jaw and neck to trace the line of the t-shirt he's wearing. ]
no subject
It's not unpleasant, no. He doesn't regret agreeing to it.
The scribe walks himself backwards, moving the other man along with him, and as he feels the light bump of one of his calves hitting the bed they both woke up on together he sits down, both of his hands sliding against the backs of the other man's thighs to pull him down onto his lap.
And is that, perhaps, the barest hint of a smirk as he does it..?
Surely not.]
no subject
He breaks the kiss for a breath, answering the younger man's smirk with one of his own, hand leaving his chest for a moment to indicate how they're seated now. ]
Eager, huh?
[ But he's certainly not complaining, nudging his mouth back into Alhaitham's in an attempt to silence him before he can respond. He nips at the other's lower lip before trailing kisses down over his jaw and throat, the breaths stolen between each brief peck short and trembling. ]
no subject
His head tips back, allowing Kaveh slightly easier access to his neck, and he lets out a faintly shuddering breath as his body reacts to the sensations rushing through it. Just because he never sought this out doesn't mean he's dead, as much as many people he knows might consider him incapable of feeling such things at all.
Alhaitham slips one hand beneath Kaveh's t-shirt, his fingertips tentatively brushing over warm skin until they reach the curve of his lowest rib, where he presses his palm against the older man's waist and soaks in the heat against his splayed hand. He's never thought about this before... but it's slowly becoming all he can think about.]
no subject
How unfair— he's the one with experience, but as usual, his roommate is a frighteningly quick study, earning unbidden reactions from actions so simple—
Is it for punishment or pleasure that his teeth graze against the other's larynx, that his hips commit to a slow roll against those seated underneath him? Even Kaveh himself is not entirely sure, what with all his reason slowly being stolen away by Alhaitham's tender, exploratory touches.
(He'd never have guessed him to be so gentle.) ]
no subject
Do not bite me.
[The Scribe has no desire to end up with visible marks as a result of this, or of any other encounter here, but he doesn't try to push Kaveh in any particular direction or wrench his head away. Merely gives that quiet instruction.
He shifts his hand higher, the other added to it as he bunches the fabric up and pushes it to remove the t-shirt entirely. With Kaveh's torso bared in front of him again he keeps his eyes on the other man's as he trails his fingers down the slender muscle of his chest and stomach.]
Hm... [Alhaitham utters softly, his expression keen and almost curious.]
no subject
—and then sits in (almost) silence, interrupted only by soft hitches of his breath, as the other's fingers and eyes explore the skin now bared to him. ]
...What? [ he demands after a few seconds, and if there's irritation lining his voice it's only because he's embarrassed, because the pink touching his cheeks shows all too easily how attracted he is right now
(and the terrycloth of the robe wound around his waist is starting to tent, indicating even more clearly his arousal) ]
It's not like you haven't seen me shirtless before...
no subject
[Sure, he's seen the other man without a shirt, but never with the intention of anything more happening than just... seeing him walk from one room to another. Certainly never this close, and he's never had his hands on him like this. It's a different experience entirely than simply catching the occasional glance of a bare chest.
His eyes lower briefly as the pad of his thumb skims the flushed skin around one pert nipple. Alhaitham stills in thought for a moment then pulls Kaveh closer, as close as he can get, urging him up to his knees. The reason why is not long in coming as he touches his lips to the centre of the man's chest, first light and soft and then firmly, with more purpose. One hand curls around the back of Kaveh's thigh and the other against his waist as Alhaitham dots kisses over his chest and collarbone.
Mm. He smells nice.]
no subject
Archons defend him, but Kaveh was not expecting this— this feeling of being completely overpowered by Alhaitham's tenderness and curiosity. He's more than happy to let him explore, that's in part what this is about, but right now he feels his own effort is pathetic.
Where the scribe has him right now, though, he's somewhat locked in, and there's little for him to do but run his fingers through his hair, scratch nails gently against the scalp— to caress but not to leave marks— and roll his hips up against the other in slow movements, dragging his burgeoning erection against Alhaitham's abdomen.
His voice when he speaks is breathless, huskier than usual: ] Then explore as much as you like, but— mm, don't forget to let me explore you too. You're making me feel good, you can tell, right? I want— ah— wanna make you feel good too, Haitham.
no subject
It seems he's paying little heed to the evident erection pressing against his stomach for the moment. They'll get to that eventually.
The ashen-haired man lets out a little sigh, his breath ghosting over the dampened skin in front of his lips, and he looks up to observe the mess that he's already managed to make of his former research partner. He'd wonder how it had been so easy, but... he isn't really that surprised.]
I have an academic understanding of how sex works. [Since that is where this is going and he still has no objections to raise.] But you're going to need to be specific about what you want.
no subject
It should really make Kaveh more annoyed than it does.
In response to the other's statement, the blonde nods, reaches both hands to run through the slight mess he's made of Alhaitham's hair, before letting them drop between them again to slide up and against his abdomen, ridding him of his t-shirt in the same way he did Kaveh earlier.
What he wants... the truth is...
Well, the truth is that it doesn't matter. ]
Mm, I have my preferences, but I can go either way. Because it's your first time, I think it would be best if you told me what would make it most comfortable for you. [ His fingers skim over Alhaitham's chest, exploring each line, every muscle. ] What do you think?
no subject
Kaveh's fingers trail goosebumps in their wake as he watches Kaveh while he speaks, then exhales a soft breath through his nose.]
I think you should answer my question. [He replies in a low voice, moving the hand curled around the older man's leg to the front of his thigh and sliding it higher.]
I didn't ask for no reason.
no subject
If his once-friend wants him to answer his question, then... ]
When it comes to intercourse specifically, I prefer to receive, rather than give— Does that... answer your question?
[ Archons, why is this so hard to say? Is it because it's Alhaitham to whom it's addressed? Perhaps he can rescue it, he thinks, and so with a small quirk of his lips, a lean in to brush them against the shell of the other's ear— he knows how sensitive they are to sound; are they to touch as well? When he speaks again, it's in a low, low murmur: ]
Or do you want to know how good I am with my mouth, too?
no subject
Well, Alhaitham knows what he thinks he's trying to do, but that kind of thing doesn't really work for him. He twitches his head a little as the murmur against his ear makes his skin tingle.]
That won't be necessary.
[But—...
Almost gently, he urges Kaveh to stand up and gets to his feet, then makes a small gesture to the bed for him to get on it. His eyes are serious as always but there is a certain quiet softness behind them, knowing that this is difficult and strange for them both and getting through it is going to be... awkward, no doubt.]
If that's what you prefer then I'm sure I can manage it.
no subject
It is going to difficult, and strange, and awkward. But— well, things between them often are, and they always find a way to make it through, don't they? ]
Then come on, [ he answers softly, a slight push of his arms to remind Alhaitham of what's next. ] Come back here and let me kiss you again.
[ And maybe those words could be considered in some way just as flirtatious as Kaveh's deliberate attempt just moments ago. But these are genuine, spoken soft and sweet as his smile wavers on his lips. Vulnerable. ]
no subject
The other hand slides into his hair, digging into the blond strands and lightly gripping, and he slots one thigh between Kaveh's legs as he draws him into another kiss.
It's less timid now. Alhaitham is a quick study and swiftly picked up in confidence, having noted the way Kaveh reacted to him and how the other man likes to be kissed. He pins one of the other man's hands down as he parts his lips slightly, nipping at Kaveh's lower lip experimentally.
His eyes crack open slightly to steal a glance at his companion's face, but only for a moment.
It is strange. He wouldn't have imagined his first kiss would be with Kaveh, let alone that he would have his first sexual experience with him, but he supposes that if he can trust anyone to respect his boundaries then it would be this man. No one really knows him better, after all.]
no subject
The slot of a thigh and the renewed press of lips are enough to pull Kaveh back out of his own head, and the pin of his hand gets his attention fast, his breath trembling into the kiss as his one free hand winds around the other's shoulders to hold him close, answering his tenderness with abandon.
He was ready to feel awkward and uncomfortable, but he doesn't. He feels... it feels natural somehow, like they were always meant to be doing this— and no, he will never tell Alhaitham as much. His breath is a soft whine against Alhaitham's lips, hips rocking down against the knee that presses against him. ]
no subject
The quiet whine has him pulling back just a bit so he can hear it and he takes a moment to study the flush on Kaveh's face. He is pretty like this, he thinks. Appealing in a way Alhaitham has not considered before. How funny that is.
Alhaitham welcomes the rolling of Kaveh's hips against his thigh with a light press downwards, increasing the pressure for him to rock against as he keeps his hand pinned and presses him gently into the sheets, the heat of their skin mingling as their bodies slot together. The scribe exhales on a soft shudder as the arousal beginning to thrum through him pulls him along.
His tongue pushes past Kaveh's lips, first tentative and quickly with more confidence, and perhaps... more urgency as well.]
no subject
The hand yet free cards into Alhaitham's hair instead, and his lips part willingly for the push of the other's tongue, tongue flicking up in answer— and the hint of increased urgency is clear to him if only because he feels it too, the mingling heat gathering under his skin in a way that makes him crave more despite the room's limited airflow. With his other hand captive to his junior's grip, all he can do is continue to rock his hips, another soft sound uttered into the almost non-existent space between their lips.
Archons, how have they never tried this before? The answer is obvious, and yet right now this feeling seems even more so. ]
no subject
He barely gives Kaveh a moment to make those sounds, catching soft breaths between kisses as he clasps his hand, lightly grips his hair, rolls down against him and Alhaitham feels hot, his skin prickling, perspiration beginning to bead at the nape of his neck. His own physical arousal is clear enough with the firm erection sliding against Kaveh's thigh each time the older man rolls his own hips upwards.
There's not much of a thought in Alhaitham's mind as to why they might not have tried this before - truth be told he had never considered it - but even he couldn't deny that it feels... comfortable in a way he had not anticipated.
His hand slips free of Kaveh's hair, sliding down his body, pushing beneath the loose cloth around his hips and gripping his thigh. His fingernails dig in slightly, dragging over heated skin, the softest hitch of breath caught between their lips as he draws in a quick, shallow gasp.]
Kaveh-- [He mutters, the name slipping out before he can stop it, and as he hears his own voice he pauses to meet the other man's eyes. Alhaitham swallows once, his gaze only wavering for a heartbeat before it's as steady as ever. He looks almost normal save for the light colour on his face and the plump flush to his lips.]
no subject
With the other man's arousal clear against him, with Alhaitham's fingers pressed into the bare skin of his thigh, with his name like gravel on the other's lips— it's all too little, and yet still all too much—
(And it doesn't feel strange at all, that Alhaitham's fingers are gripping his bare skin so close to his swollen arousal.) ]
Are you alright? [ he whispers. He saw the flicker in his eyes, wonders if perhaps he just doesn't know what he's meant to do next— no, he would know, maybe he's just hesitant— and his free hand comes back to his face, a gentle pat of his cheek as Kaveh's head tilts. ] You can touch me if you want. In the basket— there were some lubricants—
[ He'd get them himself, but he's kind of pinned down by the other's body, and literally by his hand. ]
And if you need me to, I can show you how— mm, how to get me ready.
no subject
[The reply is murmured as a low undercurrent to the next words out of Kaveh's mouth, quiet enough to not interrupt but still loud enough to be heard. He's fine. This is fine. If he can just get through it without being swept up in it all.
It isn't as if he's never experienced arousal before. His body still works in the same way as any man his age and can still have reactions to stimuli... or no stimuli at all, at times. Usually he ignores it, or deals with it quickly. Dragging it out like this is new. Purposefully making it worse even more so.]
You don't need to show me. [Ahaitham says then with a quiet sigh.] I know how it works.
[Kaveh will finally get some room to breathe as Alhaitham investigates the basket for the least offending lube (why do they all smell like desserts) coming back with the least strong-smelling of the bunch. He pushes the lid off with his thumb.]
Are you ready?
[The question seems one of simple consent but the pause is something more. It's giving Kaveh a chance to back out. They have already bulldozed their way through any likelihood that they will ever be able to look at each other in the same way again but going further than this means irrevocably altering their relationship. Forever.
So Alhaitham waits, his eyes calmly on Kaveh's, for that definite go-ahead.]
no subject
[ He's grousing, just a little, a self-defense mechanism as always, but he doesn't look that irritated despite his tone— he isn't that irritated despite his tone, instead leaning back and watching as the other man sorts through the lubricants, pulling face after face as he finds not a one of them to his liking. Next time, he thinks, he'll have to make sure they—
Thankfully Alhaitham comes back at that point because Kaveh is decidedly unhappy with his brain for even going in that direction. What would he have done had he managed to finish that thought? He doesn't want to know— as it is, his cheeks are already flaring anew with color.
And what the other says next, loaded with so much more meaning than the words themselves could possibly imply, doesn't help him at all. Kaveh swallows, and nods— Archons help him, he wants this— before reaching out to snag the other man by one of the ends of the tie holding his robe closed and pulling—
only for it to simply untie the robe and leave Alhaitham naked, and Kaveh biting his lip as his eyes drop, silent for a moment as he takes him in fully, enjoying the way he looks, the way his arousal strains and flushes against his pale skin
—and he blinks back up at him and chuckles his embarrassment. ]
I meant to pull you closer and kiss you, but I don't mind the view. [ In the absence of that action, though, he shifts his arm to snag Alhaitham's arm instead. ]
I'm ready, come here.
no subject
Embarrassment.
His face stays impassive, though, as the fabric pools around the backs of his ankles and Kaveh looks at him like that. The top of his jaw tenses for a moment and he stays standing until his arm is taken, prompting him to move forwards again, kissing the man and pressing him down gently into the sheets.
So, they're actually going to do this. Alhaitham knows it makes sense in a twisted and ridiculous way - who else could he possibly trust to take this step with him? Who else knows and, dare he say it, understands him well enough to get through this without growing frustrated by Alhaitham's personality and quirks? He could think of a single one.
While they're kissing, the scribe pops the lid off the lubrication and applies it to his fingers. He does make a small face at the sensation of it - slick and almost-sticky - before he locks eyes with Kaveh as he lightly nudges his thighs apart.]
You'll tell me if anything hurts.
[It's not really a question, but despite the lack of querying tone there is something about what he says. It's more of a request, wrapped up in a statement.]
no subject
So, he thinks, unaware of how closely his thoughts echo the Scribe's— they're going to do this. As much as he's relieved that Alhaitham said yes, Kaveh didn't for one moment anticipate that he would, and on that front he's still reeling, still trying to get accustomed to the fact that this is happening. But he keeps that in the back of his mind— at the front, he's trying to focus on his roommate, and what he needs—
Which is, apparently, to offer something of a request in his usual, nearly-commanding tone.
Kaveh just smiles, and kisses him again. ] I promise I'll tell you, [ he murmurs against Alhaitham's lips, and he parts his thighs a little further open, reaching to undo his robe too so that he's just as naked under the other's eyes as Alhaitham is above his. ] But I trust you.
[ If anything, based on how tender and careful Alhaitham has been, Kaveh wonders if he won't have to tell him to speed up, rather than complain of hurt. ]
