Mm, cut it out...?

[Well, since he requested it.

Teddy sits up on his knees, hands lifted up and away while he gives a big smile. He has, indeed, cut it out.]

[Billy shudders, breathing heavily, and then pauses. His eyes open, and he props himself up, glowering at the blond. Really, Teddy? Really?

And then he tucks his legs under himself and lunges, tackling the other boy.]

Why am I marrying such a jerk, oh my god!

[Now, Billy tackling a super strong man might not seem like the greatest of ideas, but this super strong man is used to it and always follows through with the motion, leading him to fall backwards as Billy tackles him. Their bed isn't exactly the biggest bed, though, so Teddy ends up with his head and shoulders hanging off the edge of the bed, and even though it feels awkward, Teddy still tips his head back and laughs. It's all just so wonderful - Billy growing hornily indignant enough to tackle him, Billy saying yes, the two of them being fiances and, someday, husbands.

So he just laughs, one hand hanging on to the blankets to keep him from hanging too far off the bed and the other tangled up in Billy's hair.]

Haha! Because you love this jerk?

I do.

[Billy's expression softens a little, his irritation still lingering, and he leans in, tilting Teddy's head up with both hands behind the back to kiss him again, long and deep. Despite his expression there's almost as much aggression behind the kiss as there had been in the pounce, and he's far from ready to relent yet. If Teddy's going to tease, then he's damn well going to take.]

I do love this jerk. Even if he is a jerk.

Mmm...

[He's a little caught up in the kiss, so he can't answer just yet. It takes his breath away, because as someone who's so strong, someone like Billy asserting himself over him is such a turn-on. Not to mention all those things he said...

Once the kiss is over, Teddy lets out a breath, forehead against Billy's, then leans back again to give a soft expression of his own.]

And this jerk loves his incredible fiancé. Even if he can be just as much of a jerk sometimes.

I can be. But not, I think, as big of one as you.

[Well, maybe sometimes. But not today. Today, he proves his point by reaching back and sliding a hand right down Teddy's jeans, groping what he finds there. He stops supporting Teddy's head to instead hold himself up, letting it drop to expose the blond's neck, which he starts teasing with his mouth and tongue to get things moving forward once more. The aggression is still there, which means that this time, so are his teeth.]

[The sudden grope makes Teddy intake shakily and lift his hips up to it, though that makes him hold the blankets even tighter. Don't want to ruin the moment by sliding off the bed and all.]

Ha... oh, yeah? [He tilts his head away to give Billy more room and shuts his eyes, fingers curling into his hair. Yeah, Billy can't leave a hickie for longer than a minute or so, which sucks, but that doesn't mean it doesn't feel good. Quite the opposite, really. Though it does feel a little weird, hanging near-half upside down like this. But whatever, he can take it; and he did deserve it, too.]

Mmhm...

[With his mouth preoccupied, Billy doesn't offer much response, busily pressing teeth and tongue against the skin of Teddy's neck. He's well past the point of caring that he can't leave long-term marks on his boyfriend's skin, but he never shies away from the challenge, either. If anything, it makes it more fun- the challenge of beating past records of how long it takes Teddy's powers to make the marks disappear. His fingers curl around the erection and starts to stroke, the tight friction of Teddy's pants making the movement difficult, and it makes him more determined, too. If he can just stay balanced long enough to get his other hand back, undo the button...]

[It's too easy to lose himself in this, too easy to lose his own balance. The cargo pants, loose as they are, are still zipped and buttoned up, so as good as the stroking feels, it's also way too confining. It makes Teddy tilt his hip up more, feet pressing down against the bed to do so, both to encourage him to keep going and try to get his pants off -

But the movement makes him slide further down, enough for him to let out a noise that's more surprise than pleasure and let go of Billy's hair to press against the floor instead, catching them both before they slide further. With one hand holding the bed and the other on the floor, Teddy looks between the two. Hmm. ... Yeah.]

Jerk or not, I don't think we want to have engagement sex on the floor.

[That makes Billy stop, and then abruptly let loose a little burst of giggles. Teddy does look like he's about to fall off, so Billy rolls off him to flop on the other half of the bed, lying beside him instead with his head tilting off the edge to grin at him.]

I don't know, we've never done it on the floor before.

[Teddy tilts his head to look at him, one brow slowly raising.]

If floor sex is your thing, we can totally try it someday. [With both hands free and now on the floor, Teddy slides the rest of the way off and flips his body over so that his knees hit the floor rather than his shoulders or back. And now that he's stable, Teddy shares that grin of Billy's as he leans forward enough to hold his face in his hands.]

I just don't think it's an engagement thing. [And since he's in the perfect position, he leans the rest of the way to kiss his boyfriend's lips, this one slower than the ones they shared just a moment ago.

Yeah. This is definitely a bed thing.]

[Billy was teasing anyway, which is probably evident by the way he smiles into the kiss. He's happy to let the kiss linger, indulging in it nice and slow, and when they pull back, he licks his lips, eyes hazy.]

...Okay, Spider-man, have it your way. Come on back up and let me get your pants off.

Our pants. I'm not going pantsless without you this time, Kaplan.

[He says it as he climbs onto the bed again, one hand sliding along Billy's hip and under the waistband of his pants once he's close enough. Now that he's had his fun with being a jerk, Teddy's ready to go for real.]

Hah. Come and get me, then.

[It's a bit redundant, considering Teddy already is, but he can't help it, wiggling his body a bit to scootch closer to his partner. With Teddy close enough to him again, Billy reaches out and lets his hands travel along the blond's chest, then down, tugging at the band of his khakis in response to where Teddy's hand is. He's impatient and doesn't really want to wait his turn.]

[Teddy lets out a hum as he does just that - He lowers his head to kiss along Billy's jawbone, then down a little further, enough to nip just above the scar on his neck. Since Billy got the scar, it was a bit of an adjustment to tease the area around his favorite nipping area rather than right on it, and even though Teddy hates the reason it happened, he hasn't minded the scar one bit; it's just a part of his boyfriend now, plain and simple.

And since Billy's so impatient, Teddy gets to work on removing his pants; he already undid them, so with Billy's help, it's no trouble at all to slide them down further. Taking them all the way off without cheating would mean getting away from Billy's neck, but he just can't bring himself to move back right away...]

[Billy groans softly at each kiss, his body arching eagerly, legs sliding to try and urge Teddy's pants further down with wriggling feet. His toes curl in the fabric to drag it off and expose those fine, muscular legs. He lets his hands stretch and curve over the bare skin of his fiancé's shoulders, slim fingers teasing and pulling gently to keep him close as Teddy reaches his neck. For a while after... well, everything, he'd been so afraid of being intimate, and even after they'd gotten themselves sorted out he'd been too sensitive to enjoy this kind of treatment, shying away from the touch the way he used to with his ears, or Teddy with his stomach.

But just like after the Cube, it had been something to work on together, something to overcome and endure. And that was before Teddy discovered the right spots to explore- above and below the damaged skin, the white space of broken nerves just creating a pleasant tension of surprise as to what direction the touch will come from, whether Teddy's mouth will be up or down next. It's so subtle that he hardly notices anymore, only enough to stubbornly push aside what had happened back then and enjoy it. And especially today, after Teddy's proposal... there's no room for bad memories, here. He won't let them in.]

Nn... Tee... get your feet loose, I want you- hah- on me...

[Something about those words just turns Teddy on further, and he lets out a quiet groan against Billy's neck before he pulls back to actually get out of his clothes - much as he enjoys this slow, shimmying out of clothes method, he's getting a little impatient, and it looks like Billy is too.]

Yeah - Yeah, hold on, just gotta...

[He slides his shoes off and tosses them gently to the side - he knows better than to kick them off, then leans back to slide his pants and underwear the rest of the way off.]

We're, uh, kind of at the end of the bed here, do you want to...?

[Their little wrestling match kind of messed up their initial positioning, so it really depends on if they want this absolutely perfect or, well... if they just don't care about positioning and want to keep going.]

[Billy blinks off his dazed expression, shivering as the cool air hits his naked skin as his eyes wander over Teddy's. It clicks that hey, yeah, they are kind of about to fall off, here...]

Um... yeah, lemme-

[He shimmies backwards a few feet, flopping back against the pillows with a quiet, satisfied sigh.]

Okay, much better. You did say you'd rather not do it on the floor, so...

[Admittedly engagement sex sounds a lot sexier when it doesn't involve rolling off the bed and breaking an arm or something.]

[By the time Billy gets to the pillows, Teddy's tossed his pants and underwear aside, and he has to take a moment to look up and down his fiancé's body, appreciative and loving and just marveling over how he can see this all his life, be able to press kisses against it or run his hand down it, treat it like the gift of trusting someone enough with this truly is.

And he moves forward to do just that, one hand sliding down Billy's waist and hip while the other holds him up, lips brushing against his shoulder as he rolls his own hips forward - Billy wanted Teddy on him, and that's what he'll get.]

I just don't think... the floor's special enough.

[That's exactly what he'd wanted, and now that he's finally receiving it he makes his delight known, arching his body up to press against Teddy's and sliding his hands up the blond's chest just as appreciatively. He seeks out all the pleasantly sensitive spots that he's discovered over the past couple of years, the movement of his fingers practised and refined to an art form only for Teddy.]

I think... wherever we do this, from now on, is going to be special. Whether it's in a bed or on the floor or against a wall or in some underground cave in the middle of nowhere- anywhere- it won't matter. This is what matters...

[He draws one hand back, stroking it through Teddy's hair, touching his cheek, the ring finger trailing cold metal over this skin.]

Just this. Just us. The rest is just... fanfare. Noise. Meaningless details. That's how I feel.

[His comment was a start-up to a joke, really, which he would've followed up with the floor having had its feelings hurt for not being special enough. But then Billy says that, and all thoughts of making it a joke are just... swept out of his head. The words, and Billy's touch, brings Teddy back to gazing down at his face and his eyes especially, leaning into the touch against his cheek, loving the contrast of warm skin and a band of cool metal.]

That's how I feel, too... [He leans in to press his forehead against Billy's, unable to keep the smile off his face.] I love you... God, I love you so much.

[Sex is awkward and funny and amazing, but most of all, it's deeply intimate to Teddy; sharing something like this with the person he loves, being completely vulnerable and trusting the other person... Billy's right; the location is just fanfare, meaningless details. It's them that counts, just moving with each other, touching, being. Sharing their deepest and most intimate parts of themselves with the person they intend to spend the rest of their life with.

... But he also can't help making a little quip as he opens his eyes slightly.]

So should I start looking for a cave after this?

[Billy grins, helplessly amused at his dork of a fiancé- amused, and not particularly surprised by the quip.]

Mm... only if you find one with, like, moss or something.

[He can only imagine the grating their skin would receive if they were doing what they normally do in a cave. Teddy would heal quickly enough, but he'd likely be complaining for weeks afterwards.]

We can think up other places to have sex later, though. I like it right here at the moment.

[He tilts his head suddenly at that, wanting to kiss Teddy just then, needing it rather desperately. Fluff and gentle words of love are only half of what he's feeling right now, and the rest is pure and enthused passion.

[It's a sentiment Teddy completely agrees with, and he lets it be known by meeting Billy halfway and kissing his fiancé with all the passion he's feeling as well. Love and affection are well and good and just as much a part of sex between them, but he'd really, really like to get the ball moving.

When Teddy breaks the kiss, he starts to travel downward, first pressing several kisses against Billy's neck, then his collarbone, while one hand smears along his hip and thigh and strokes at a spot just behind his knee.]

We have the where... but what about the how? [The kisses travel further down, grazing against one of Billy's nipples before settling there, lips and breath brushing against it.] Do you want it slow or hard? Do you want me to make you scream, [and down again, teeth grazing against him as he keeps murmuring,] or do you want me to ride you until I'm moaning your name? [Once he's at Billy's abdomen, he lets his hand move up again, stroking against Billy's side.] Do you want something more gentle... or hard and fast...?

[God. God. Is Teddy trying to make him come just with words alone? Billy shivers, fingers and toes curling first in the fabric of their blankets, then - as he lifts his hands to press them against Teddy's head, and he slides a leg up to curl around the blond's - in soft hair and warm skin. Nails scraping, he encourages the pampering as best as he can without getting in the way of it, his breath catching softly with each stroke, and every arousing suggestion.]

...Nnnn... is "all of the above" an option...?

[That's way too much wonderful to choose between, bf.]

[Maybe that's exactly what Teddy's trying to do; how much would it boost his pride to know that he made Billy come just by talking to him? More seriously, though, Teddy smirks a little from that question, head leaning up into Billy's hand for a second before moving on.]

Well... [Finally, Teddy reaches the destination he'd been deliberately avoiding all this time - Billy's woefully neglected erection. He lets his lips trail from base to tip, then back down again from the side, answering quietly as he does so.] We've got all night. We can make it an option...

[And even if they get too tired, Teddy's pretty sure they're not going to venture out of the bedroom for a day or two anyway. They've got plenty of time.]
