[Voice/Action] Forward-dated to the afternoon of the 9th

[He should have seen this coming- it's like it's some kind of retaliation for what he'd done on Teddy's birthday. He still manages to be surprised when Teddy shoos him out of the apartment some time after breakfast on the 9th, barely given time to grab his coat and stuff his laptop into a bag before he's been officially banished from his own home.

...Well then. Looks like he's in the wind today. First things first: while he isn't usually the type to announce this kind of thing, thanks to having the afternoon to himself (whereas usually his birthday is filled with doting parents and obnoxious little brothers vying for attention) he's feeling indulgent enough to go for it, and he remembers something in particular...]

Okay- first of all, question for everybody. Now that I know about that whole... Valentine's Day thing that's supposed to happen every year, does anyone know how to avoid it? Or should I just lock myself in my room for a few days and hope for the best?

And second, to the X-Men? If the team training is still on for today, it's probably safe to go ahead and assume I won't make it. I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday. But happy birthday to Logan whenever he gets back- 180 is a pretty big landmark, right?

[Hopefully he won't get killed for that one, but he just couldn't help himself. Even if the accuracy of that number is questionable.

The rest of the afternoon will be spent in the following ways: goofing off in the Battle Dome with some self-indulgent hologram scenarios blatantly ripped out of Star Trek, wasting time in Seventh Heaven with excessive amounts of coffee and his laptop like a proper teenage hipster, and then, when his battery's running dry, returning to building #5 to bully Teddy into feeding the laptop's power cord under the door, at which point he'll be curled up on the floor outside his apartment playing Minecraft or something while he waits for his boyfriend to finish... whatever he's doing in there.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Quietly amused, Billy offers up his cup with the remainder of his coffee if Teddy wants to finish it off. He tends to get so immersed in the movie and the music that he forgets about snacks, so it's been mostly wasted on him anyway.]

There's a war starting. That's exciting, right? ...Also the captain married Maria.

[He's always dead asleep around this part, so.]

You don't say...

[Pft, Billy, you know he's more focused on the war thing than the marriage thing. Teddy leans his elbow against his knee and rests his chin in his hand, and he actually looks halfway interested in what's happening.

Okay, it's not a high-adrenaline chase scene with explosions and heroes walking away from crashes relatively unharmed, but it's at least better than what was going on before that, and Teddy can get behind this. He idly sips at the coffee Billy offered him, feeling more and more awake as he does so. Dammit, now he's going to be up all night, isn't he?]

[And you were being so romantic up until now, man.

Now that Teddy's shifted position a bit, Billy returns his head to Teddy's shoulder, cuddling up and looking pleased to have found a part that even remotely interests his boyfriend. As for him, the fact that it's like 2 in the morning by now has finally taken its toll- it's not that late for most teenagers, sure, but he also gets up around 6AM. So his eyes are starting to droop contentedly.

He lasts up until just after the music festival (AKA when things get more interesting for Teddy again), and then starts to nod off, all but passing out on his boyfriend.]

[While Teddy's eyes glazed over at a few parts, he still ends up watching, and his attention renews itself when the movie gets interesting again. He very nearly nudges Billy to ask him about something, but

But he notices that he's asleep.

And he is surprised. This is the first time ever that Teddy's seen Billy fall asleep during Sound of Music. Then again, he's never been awake to see it happen, but he's sure this is the first time, and it's as shocking as Billy turning down a peanut butter cup or a bag of pretzels.

So after staring sidelong at his boyfriend, and then staring some more while wondering if he should turn off the movie or watch it until the end, he decides on the latter, and he looks back at the screen to watch.

He's surprised again when he sees the credits. Usually, he's woken up again by Billy by this time, not watching it for the hell of it. Sure, he still didn't watch it all the way through, but it's the first time he's ever seen the ending. And Billy was asleep for it. Aww.

Teddy knows that he can't possibly bring Billy home without waking him up, so he gets over his shock and turns off the screen, then lifts his shoulder to nudge Billy back into the world of semi-consciousness.]

Hey, Sleeping Beauty, do you want me to carry you home tonight?

[The only response Teddy gets at first is a vague, muffled groan against his shoulder as Billy buries his face, resisting the prod. He's warm, cozy, and comfortable, why in the world would he want to wake up? Eventually Teddy gets a barely-comprehensible reply, though one could not really call it an answer.]

'm not Sleep... Beauty...

[Uuugh, seriously, he needs more coffee if Teddy wants him to get up. It's like 3 in the morning, what sensible human being is awake at this hour?]

You totally are.

[It's said more affectionately than anything, and he shakes his head to himself before he gets off of his chair. He wouldn't mind sleeping here for the night, but he's pretty sure someone else will need the dome soon, and he doesn't want Billy to wake up with sore muscles. He himself doesn't have to worry about that, but...

So, he wraps the rest of the blanket around his boyfriend as he slowly lifts him up, bridal style, and lets his head rest against his shoulder. Once he's sure Billy's secure in his arms, he heads on out, and thankfully he finds it easy enough to open the door even with an armful of boyfriend.]

All right, home it is.

[Billy's only response this time is a contented murmur, cuddling up closer when they're out of the area and exposed to the colder air. Yeah, he's pretty much down for the count, but at least he looks ridiculously happy for it, anyway. Being carried when he's tired is just about the most secure and cozy that someone can feel, and even if he doesn't always indulge in it, there's just something fantastic about having someone who can do this so effortlessly.]

[Yeah, Teddy figured Billy was out like a light. With a smile and an affectionate roll of his eyes, Teddy uses his own shifting to slide his shirt up, enough so that he can sprout his wings without having them tear his pajamas up, and then he takes to the sky, the initial burst of wind causing tears to appear in his eyes only due to sleepiness. Hey, this is past his bedtime too, the only reason he's really awake is due to the coffee.

With a hard blink, the wetness mostly goes away, and then he's focused on flying and keeping Billy as well as his new-old camera close. It still kind of surprises him just how much his boyfriend trusts him, enough to keep dozing on peacefully even while high up in the air. But... well, it's one of the many things he loves so much about him.]

[The cold air outside rouses Billy somewhat, curling up even closer and muttering under his breath. His arms slip out of the blanket, though, just enough to snake around Teddy's neck fingers tickling gently over the hard leather of his wings where they connect to his back. There's something extra-comforting about that texture, as if his Hulkling form makes Billy feel that much more secure, which is a bit silly since Teddy's got the same strength regardless of his form, but hey, when does logic ever apply when one is half-asleep?]

Mmm... T... stay as Hulkling...

[It's still half-muffled, but it seems like he's halfway between sleep and consciousness now.]

Hmm?

[Teddy glances down at Billy before he looks ahead again, then makes a gentle turn around a building. There's a lopsided grin on his face due to Billy teasing his Hulkling wings; they're not as sensitive as his Luceti wings, but considering all the subtle currents of the wind he has to feel against them? Yeah, they're pretty sensitive anyway.]

What, stay as Hulking 'til we get to bed? [Not that he's actually Hulkling right now, but hey, Billy's half asleep. Might as well indulge.]

Mm... bed.

[It's something of a non-committal answer, and the mention of their bed brings to mind a very different idea, one that might be easily predicted by the way his mouth is suddenly busy (albeit sleepily) against Teddy's neck beneath the blanket.]

When we get there... hn... gonna rip these clothes off, kay...

[In his sleep-deprived head, he totally thinks he has the energy for some fun- and after the evening that Teddy gave him, he's pretty sure his boyfriend is due for a little pampering. Which he'll most definitely be awake for.]

Haha... okay, Billy.

[Of course, Teddy knows for sure that Billy's not even going to last that long. Maybe tomorrow, just to add on to all the birthday fun, but definitely not tonight. This morning. Right. Even if Billy were awake, now Teddy's tired. Better to do it when they're both energized. (Can Billy even rip Teddy's clothes off? ... Huh. That image is really - nope, not going there.)

... Not that he's stopping Billy from doing sloppy things to his neck. That feels pretty nice, okay.]

Mmhm. Damn right it's okay.

[Teeth have officially been introduced to the equation. He's also sucking lazily on the patch of skin between Teddy's collar and cheekbone, like he's determined to leave the most ineffective hickey ever.]

You should... nn... best idea. Best idea. You should... hulk-out when we do it.

[He probably sounds half-stoned at this point, mumbling vaguely against the blond's neck.]

[lol oh good luck leaving a hickey on an alien with fast healing factor, Billy. But that doesn't mean Teddy can't enjoy it, especially with teeth involved, so his smile turns a little lazy, and he looks ahead with half-lidded eyes -

that suddenly shoot open when Billy makes that suggestion.

wh

at]

... What?

[Did he hear that right - no way. Hulk-out during - no way. Hulkling is for intimidation, for fighting, not for... for that. It'd be so much easier to hurt Billy like that, and -

And... okay. Billy pretty much sounds like he's drifting off, so he's probably lucid dreaming or something. That makes more sense. Teddy relaxes at that, not even realizing that he'd tensed out of surprise, and focuses on what's ahead again. Their apartment shouldn't be too far away now.]

That, um... sure is an idea, yeah. [And maybe - no, no. Not a best idea. Not even a good idea. Nope nope nope.]

[Oh, nice, he agreed.]

No, no. Best idea. Best.

[Bite. Just because the hickey won't stay doesn't mean he isn't going to try his damnedest to keep it there. And the noises he's making between words are practically purrs. If this is lucid dreaming, it's a good dream.]

Promise? You can't... back out later, 'kay...

[what no that wasn't agreeing fuck

He at least gives a sharper little intake of breath at the bite, and that felt nice, but other than that - oooh no this conversation is driving into weird territory. Teddy glances off to the side as if he's unsure, and when he looks ahead - oh thank god, there's the apartment.

And the window's closed. Right, probably one of the flatmates who saw the window open and didn't realize the boys went out flying. Oh well. He can get over that problem easily, when he gets close enough.]

I think you should ask me tomorrow when you're actually more awake, but sure, I promise. [He's pretty sure Billy won't remember this anyway, so what's the harm? Something to laugh about later, anyway.]

[Billy doesn't respond this time: either Teddy's answer satisfied his imagination, or exhaustion finally caught up with him again. As they get closer, the movement at Teddy's neck gets slower, and slower, until finally it stops, and the noises Billy was making quiet down into the soft, muffled snore of someone in deep sleep. He's out like a light this time, and he won't be waking up again.]

Edited 2013-02-14 12:33 (UTC)

... Heh.

[Yeah, Teddy knew Billy wouldn't even make it to the bed.

Once he gets close enough to the window, he shifts another arm to open it up, flies in, then closes it once more before pulling that limb in again. After that, it's only a matter of time before he's got them both in bed, though he raises an eyebrow at the blanket Billy has wrapped around him like a cocoon. Teddy sure would like to get under that with him and cuddle with him like that, but he's pretty sure he can't extract that blanket without waking Billy up too...

So, he lets out a quiet snort before he gets under the covers of the bed, though he still snuggles up close enough to rest his forehead against Billy's shoulder and shut his eyes.]

Night, Billy.

[~~insert chiming music of sleeping at an inn here~~

By the time Billy starts to wake up again, the morning sun is already filtering through the window, and he's untangled himself during the night to re-tangle himself around Teddy, with the blanket twisted around the both of them. He stirs tiredly, feeling not quite rested, but not entirely comfortable, either. Almost like-

...ah.

Yeah, he's totally woken up horny. Making a faint, muffled sound of discomfort, he shifts his body even closer to Teddy's, soaking up the warmth of his bed partner and sliding his arms around Teddy's abdomen, hands brushing over the front of his pajamas. His head is nestled in the crook of Teddy's neck and shoulders, and he's content to leave it there until Teddy wakes up.]

[Teddy is a heavy sleeper, so the warmth and the pressure aren't really noticed yet. They're always tangled with each other during the night anyway, so his body just mistakes it for that and rests on for another minute.

That is, until the hands brushing over his front continue to do so. It keeps causing a soft little tingling sensation in the nerves there, and eventually it stirs him out of sleep and makes him wake up groggily, though enough to recognize that yes, he's being touched, and rather nicely, and yes, that person's head in on his shoulder, and there's really only one person who'd be doing this.]

Mm, Billy...? [It's a little hard to turn his head like this, so he glances sidelong at him while his own fingers brush against Billy's wrist. Is he doing what he thinks he's doing...?]

[Billy is still in the process of waking himself up, but that doesn't stop him from moving, his hands slowly working their way downwards until they reach the base of Teddy's shirt, then back up again, this time under the material so his hands are brushing against skin. He tilts his head up a bit, lips at first pressing against Teddy's ear, then nibbling a bit, his movements lazy but definitely affectionate.]

G'morning...

[The grin Teddy gives thanks to all that is lazy in nature, and is soon interrupted by a huge yawn. One that's also interrupted by a noise due to Billy's nibbling against his ear, and he shuts his mouth soon after, another sleepy smile playing on his lips.]

Morning. [Now that Billy's hands are ducked under his shirt and doing delightful things to his skin, Teddy decides to slide his fingers up Billy's arm, stroking the upper part in a languid fashion.] What's gotten into you?

[The nibbling persists, with a bit of added tongue along the edge of Teddy's ear, hitting all the right spots. He can't help having a fixation on all those earrings, really...

His hands are still moving as well, one sliding up Teddy's chest, the other dipping lower, brushing over the edge of Teddy's pajama pants.]

It's... mm. It's a good morning.

[He bites down gently on a lobe, fingers teasing the waistband.]

I kinda want to make it better...

[... Haha, wow. Horny while falling asleep and horny upon waking up. Damn, Billy.

Teddy lets out a quiet chuckle, his eyes shutting to enjoy the sensations against his skin and his ears. And of course, thanks to all of that, he can feel heat gather gather under his stomach, and he shifts his legs a little as a result.]

S'an early morning. 'n we've both got morning breath.

[Not that he's complaining, with the way he's slowly moving back to press his back against Billy's chest and let their hips push together.]

You sure you wanna?

[Maybe he just had a lot of nice dreams.

Billy shuffles a bit closer to get his crotch spooning comfortably against Teddy's ass, nudging his leg between Teddy's and brushing his toes just below the blond's calves. His hand slips down a few inches before lifting up again, the movement pointedly teasing, but still not terribly energetic. He's getting there, but it's a slow, languid motion.]

I can't smell morning breath from this position...

[His hips move, a casually firm grind that should be answer enough to the question.]
