carnivale


In the days leading up to July 1st, residents new and old will notice preparations beginning, a flurry of activity getting the city ready for the upcoming celebration: Carnivale. This holiday is in celebration of music, and the onset of summer and warmer weather. The celebrations are marked by street parties, an extensive program of live musical performances, with a large parade (and paid holiday!) capping it off on July 8th.

celebrating music, and summer


After a couple of months of low-key or even solemn celebrations, it's time for Riverview Quarantine to throw a good, old-fashioned party. Carnivale is a city-wide festival that pretty much everyone gets into, and many residents take the entire week off so they can enjoy all the festivities. With events ranging from impromptu street parties, free live musical performances, food stands, themed club nights, adult lounges with kink shows, and topped off with a massive party parade, the holiday has a lot to offer for anyone who likes to sing, dance, and show some skin!


i. street parties and food

One of the staples of the Carnivale festival is the spontaneous street parties and food trucks and carts. It's not unusual during the holiday to turn a corner and run into a group of people dressed in bright colors and sequins having an impromptu party with a few drinks, and then be invited to join right in! Carnivale is a celebration of music as well as summer, so most shops and stalls will be blasting danceable music into the streets to facilitate these little street parties - it's considered a sign of good luck for the owner of a business if an impromptu Carnivale celebration starts up in front of their door.

Considering the proliferation of street parties and people out and about to celebrate the warmer weather, local business owners also take to the streets. Food carts, stands, and trucks pop up on almost every street corner offering a wide variety of food from savory treats to sweet desserts. Many of the carts are offering one free item to anyone dressed up for Carnivale - anything shimmery, shiny, or brightly colored will do!


ii. live musical performances

One of the major roads in the city center has been completely roped off for the entire week, and all along this street, various temporary stages have been set up, each with a nice hefty sound system. Volunteers hand out printed flyers, and digital boards are set up here and there with schedules of various performances that are all free to attend, ranging from well-known popular music artists to new up-and-comers or independent artists who are looking to make a name for themselves. This event is very widely advertised around the city, and is accepting entries until the very last minute.

At couple of the acts might be familiar faces to some of the residents.

Eichi Tenshouin has signed up himself and his friend Tsumugi Aoba into the music festival as a first-time appearing idol unit called "Higanbana." Dressed in all white with splashes of color (blue, largely, with only their headsets being a red spider lily), they carry a very commanding and angelic image together. They'll have a routine that emphasizes their great harmony with each other, taking turns doing solo lines and joining together to show off each of their talents. Singing and dancing, they interact heavily with the audience and will encourage a lot of involvement with speaking between songs and gestures, winks, and so on. Basically, they intend to make this Riverview's very first prominent "idol performance".

For his performance, Otabek Altin will start with rock remixes of a few popular pop songs. He wants to make sure that it starts off with recognizable pieces for some people, and he certainly thinks it is something that could get people excited even if they don't know it. Then, it shifts into a few original songs. They are upbeat, rock songs that he put together with the intention to make people dance and move, since he is a DJ. He'll end his set with a slower piece he put together that is also an original. Through the entire performance, he's focused and quiet, though he may occasionally try and excite the crowd with a few words.

Any other player-characters who are musically inclined are more than welcome to assume their character was fit in for a performance, and can post up a top-level with a rundown of their performance to get bonus Activity Points for posting a mingle!


iii. carnivale parade

The other main attraction of Carnivale week comes on July 8th, which is a paid holiday for everyone in the city. The Carnivale Parade will be starting out by City Hall and winding through downtown in a lazy pattern so everyone in the city has a chance to see it. There will be all sorts of floats, dancers, marching bands, with all sorts of clubs, businesses, and other organizations represented. The theme is theatrical, big and showy, bright and colorful, sparkly and shiny, with loud music and lots of glitz and glamour. Observers can expect great music, excellent dancing and marching shows, neat vehicles provided by classic car clubs, the fire, police, and Perimeter Guard. They can also expect a lot of party favors, whether it's a sparkly plastic beaded necklace, a fan to take the edge off the heat, candy, popsicles, a temporary tattoo, or any number of other little treats or toys to be tossed into the crowd - some of them fit for kids and teens, others of a more 'adult' nature handed out a bit more discreetly to anyone who looks the part.

And make sure you wear your waterproof mascara - Carnivale floats have a tendency of spraying or spritzing water, both in an unspoken competition to see who can make the biggest water-refraction rainbow in the air, and to keep observers cool in the new summer heat.


iv. adult: lounges and kink exhibition

Thanks to the Carnivale tradition of showing as much skin as possible, some event organizers' minds have turned to topics of a more adult nature. In the evenings, residents may see clubs doing "lounge nights"; these adults-only events have bouncers IDing everyone at the door to ensure they're 18+. The themes may vary, from very specific niche themes like 'golden age superheroes' to broad themes like 'rainbows,' and each event is clearly marked as what it is - all-nude or clothing-optional, and can host events ranging from amateur to professional exotic dancing, food served off of nude bodies, anonymous masked hookups, or just provide a comfortable space where casual sex is encouraged with whoever happens to be around. Various legal substances can be found at these lounges, but nothing that would cause violation of consent, and every substance would be clearly labeled and have warnings to ensure that no one partakes unless they choose to. Please be sure to warn in the subject line for sexual content or drug use (since some mild party drugs are legal in Riverview).

For the weekend from July 7th-9th, there will be a kink exhibition in one of the large exhibition centers downtown, limited to characters 18+. The exhibition is a sexy adult informational convention featuring various kinks and fetishes. Whether you're into leather, latex, lace, or anything else, you'll be able to find the clothes, toys, guides, books, erotica, fiction, and a wide variety of other interesting stuff to explore. While the atmosphere is sex-positive and there are private and public (for the voyeurs and exhibitionists in the room) venues for having sex, it's definitely focused on exploration and information about different stuff to try.


v. roommates or wildcard

Feel free to use this prompt to meet new roommates, for the purpose of getting to know each other, or hit up one of the mod-posted prompts for each Communal Floor. Or if you have an idea for a prompt that isn't in this list, set during Carnivale, feel free to write it up!

[ Oh god, stop. Gladio catches him trying to stand up and he just rolls over and pushes him back down with his hand. ]

I'm joking, c'mere!

[ Pulling Eichi's body against his, he gently wrestles him into place, laying on his side flush against him in a spooning position. One of Gladio's legs locking over his and a massive arm hooked around his neck to keep Eichi's face looking into his. He's clumsy, forceful, but not enough to hurt or bruise. Practically a gentle giant in this case. ]

...Eichi, you looked like you were going to do that for a minute there. Are you so head over heels in love?

[ Gladio, that's really not the most appropriate joke to make... ]
finethanks: (☆ 23)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-11 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[It's surprising at first, but it's also so easy to go with Gladio's forceful movements. He's strong but gentle, surrounding him in this satisfying way he can't describe. He laughs, half because he's embarrassed about thinking it was serious, and half because the alcohol. It's a miracle he's awake at this point, but he definitely owes it to his heart still going off like this.]

I can feel you, Gladio. ♪ [That's his response; a lack of a response at all to that. He's busy wiggling a bit in this hold just to see if he can tease him, looking right into Gladio's face like he's being forced to. His hands reach up to touch his cheeks.] You have so much patience.
leatherdaddy: (pic#11180039)

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-11 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ The corner of his mouth pulls, Gladio smirks at that sing-song tone used to alert him that he can still feel his arousal and at Eichi's prompting, nudges it against the cleft of his ass. He can only take so much of that squirming before he'll just seek out the heat of his body and that closeness. ]

Hardly. Couldn't wait to see you get off.

[ Gladio feels that gentle touch on his cheeks and pushes his mouth into the palm of one of them. His facial hair prickles his skin. His other hand slips over Eichi's side up to his chest, feeling his way down his stomach as he drags his erection against his backside again. ]

Your pulse is racing, Eichi...
finethanks: (☆ 100)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-11 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[He gasps lightly at that arousal pressing closer. If his body weren't so exhausted, he swears he'd be getting aroused again. It's there emotionally, even if not physically, and every touch still feels so good. Gentle touches over his chest and stomach make him arch against Gladio, encouraging more with a little hum and a sheepish smile.]

Is that strange? It's because I'm still excited. [He smooths his palm over his facial hair, taking in a slow breath.] If you could hardly wait, why is it that you're going so slow? I want to feel you.

[He's so god damn thirsty and he was already satisfied...]
leatherdaddy: (pic#11180034)

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-11 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Gladio laughs, such impatience! He settles, feeling the lithe body of the idol beside him stretch and arch against him. ]

Why, I wonder... [ Because he feels like it. Because there might be some concern given Eichi's condition. Because he's drunk. Because he's also pretty big (like the rest of him) and that alone warrants taking it slow. There's a number of reasons why, but Gladio offers none of them. He'd rather just continue as he is and let passion dictate the pace. ]

Here, bend your knee. Like this...

[ Gladio slides his hand over his hip, then reaches behind him to grip behind his thigh and adjust his leg so he can fit in easier. It should help Eichi relax a little more at least in that first too-tight push. Then he grasps himself at the base and guides the swollen head of his cock against his ass, taking his time to roll against it in teasing touches before finally pushing forward with his hips for entry. ]
finethanks: (☆ 25)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-11 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Gladio's calm and slow way of handling this is only more attractive, honestly. Eichi likes feeling so much behind him, wrapped around him and guiding him, and so he moves easily with each suggestion, even as tired as he is. Then Gladio is teasing and finally pressing into him, and Eichi can only take in a quick breath.

He's so much bigger than that toy. Obviously, but also even stretched and relaxed, Eichi is a tight fit. Thankfully, he's still slick from all of the messing around earlier, otherwise he's not sure how Gladio would fit in at all. This is so new, so different, and Eichi feels so hot, but he's still okay. Maybe he's more than okay. ]


How is... that?
leatherdaddy: (pic#11180040)

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-11 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It isn't that Gladio's particularly knowledgable or experienced, he's had occasion to enjoy his passions on a casual level -- his job as Shield meant his social circle was often limited to those who sought Noctis out for better or worse. Sometimes, when he did have free time, when the mood was right and the chemistry was there, he'd return to the job with his sexual urges satisfied. But his job wasn't conducive to long term relationships, despite the fact that the line of Amicitia would have to eventually continue.

That said, it was that confidence that is in play here, and there's no replacement for this, not even the most attractive body can measure up. Confidence he has in spades, even while intoxicated to this degree.

Gladio grunts as he pushes past that initial band of incredibly tight resistance, and finds the snug, slick heat that welcomes him so inviting that he grasps Eichi's narrow hip and continues to sink his length into him. ]


...Ungh, good. [ He tightens around him fingers over the top of Eichi's head and raking into his hair as he shrugs his hips back and forth, slowly rocking into him. He closes his eyes briefly but soon returns to looking into Eichi's face, their foreheads nearly touching as he curls around him. ]
finethanks: (☆ 26)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-11 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This is really intimate, isn't it? Now that he's been satisfied himself, he has more time to focus on their closeness, shared breaths, Gladio wrapped around him. He's feeling warmer by the minute, just when he thought he'd started to cool down. Their foreheads are so close that Eichi turns more into it automatically, as much as he can, so that he can kiss at Gladio. Wherever he might reach, he's decided this is what he wants. ]

I like hearing you make that sound. [ He admits that quietly as well, drunk and loving it, even as each slow rock into him causes more gasps. He's so much... ]
leatherdaddy: (pic#11388246)

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-12 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a reason he likes this position. It's easy to perform, especially given his lack of, well, coordination. It allows for partners to communicate relatively face to face, enables touch and touch he does - running his hand over Eichi's scrawnier figure to grasp and pull him close, or simply to acquaint himself with the feel of his body he's only just getting to know intimately. ]

Should've held off... until you were ready again.

[ Gladio breathes between thrusts, the slow kind that relishes the drag out of his body as much as sinking deep into him, rolling against his body. He slides his hair through his fingers as he kisses him, eyes half-open so he doesn't miss a thing. Gladio interrupts that steady roll of his hips to bury himself entirely, kissing Eichi more passionately before he moves again, his pace more urgent. He's been hard all through teasing Eichi with that toy, switched on and enthralled by the snug fit he pushes into that he's quickly approaching his climax.

He pulls away from the kiss, licking the taste of Eichi off his lips as he looks down between their bodies, watches himself pull back and push into him and groans as he hugs him against his body again. His breathing quickens, roughened with lust. ]


Hah, then you must... nngh, love listening to me work out...
finethanks: (☆ 180)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-13 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He can't answer that. He finds the answer right away, that he must, but thinking about that is a blur right now. All he wants is for Gladio to keep kissing him like this, holding him like this, pressing into him like this. He wants this warmth and the butterflies that come with it. And has hands move over his body and through his hair, he shivers, gasping out against his lips at that quicker pace.

Gladio better hurry up or he'll get hard again.

Right now, Eichi looks like he could be dreaming. He's completely flushed, though his body is clearly exhausted, and his lips constantly try to press in for more kisses. His own soft noises pepper the moments in between, mostly just small hums to accompany his breathing and the growing intensity between them.

Some part of him behind all of the alcohol realizes now that this isn't good. This feeling, this overwhelming desire, this emotion. It's too much, isn't it? But he can't hook onto that thought right now. It's just the brief dip of his stomach before it turns into pleasure again, and he inhales against Gladio's lips.]


Gladio... [This time, he kisses deeper, wanting to swallow all of those grunts and groans.]
leatherdaddy: (pic#11388241)

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-13 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Eichi, you're really...

[ Tight, hot, and it's incredible how much he's feeling this. Under the haze of alcohol and desire, he's quickly falling for this slow and steady climb. Gladio would normally employ some discipline to this, to ensure that he gives his partner plenty to enjoy, but there's something to be said about surrendering wholly to one's lust. Gladio runs his hand down Eichi's chest and stomach, palming over his skin as he pulls his body against each roll of his hips. He shares the next sound to escape him with Eichi, feeds it to him along with his tongue when that deeper kiss is offered him, groaning into his mouth.

He tightens his burly body around Eichi, his thrusts becoming stronger and smoother, quickening a bit at a time as he feels his cock stiffening even harder as he climbs towards his peak. His mouth leaves Eichi's only for brief moments to steal breaths needed as he pants roughly as he fucks him, his body needing more air as he starts to approach his orgasm. ]


Ungh... ugh!!
finethanks: (☆ 95)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-13 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Here's when he can really tell that he's going to be sore tomorrow, or he would be able to if he knew any better. It hurts a little now, even with all of the lubrication, because they've been going at it so long, and he's no longer hard but his body thinks he's trying to approach a second time, and Gladio is thrusting harder and faster and he's so big. It feels really good like this, honestly. Eichi soaks in that kiss until it's gone, and then he feels like he has to shift to brace himself. One hand clutches uselessly at the sheets of the bed, the other tries to hold onto Gladio from this position.

His own breaths are short and heavy, shared with Gladio as he's pounded into. His heart is moving all the same, and the sensation of this powerful body around him and inside of him is so wonderfully overwhelming. He's hitting him in that great spot, now, too, and Eichi doesn't know how to deal with it.]
leatherdaddy: (pic#11373058)

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-13 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Gladio had intended for this to be a slow, sensuous fuck. But the moment he started losing himself to that slick, snug heat of his body, he abandoned caution and fucks him through that last stretch. He surges against him as he comes, his pace slowing but he continues through it with rough and harsh breaths as his cock pulses, filling the negligible space inside of Eichi. While riding out the extent of his orgasm, Gladio pulls Eichi against him - one arm around his neck and chest, grasping his shoulder and the other tight at his waist.

That tension leaves him faster than the way it built up, snapping and leaving him boneless in the wake of his climax, satisfied. His body is covered in a thin sheen of sweat, heavier at his hairline, and noses against the side of Eichi's face as he holds him, catching his breath. ]


Haah... [ He breathes out a rough sigh, his hips still not quite getting the memo to cease with the small nudges as his half-hard cock shifts slightly inside him. It's slippery and hot and he can't help but distantly indulge in the messy aftermath. He's sensitive post-orgasm but he endures it in favor of teasing Eichi with it. ] Hah, you feel even better when you're this wet. [ It's not necessarily true, but it's such an indecent thing to say that he can help but lighten the mood by teasing him about it. ]
finethanks: (☆ 73)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-13 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait--

[ But Gladio still shifts inside of him, even when he's feeling this full. It's so lewd, so disgusting and wet, and yet he loves the feeling and sound alike. Still, Gladio is going to leave him wanting more with no energy to do anything about it. Eichi exhales shakily, placing a palm over Gladio's cheek as he squirms a little. It's meant to help him avoid getting worked up, but it's doing the opposite, and so he lets out a frustrated grunt. ]

Don't... [ He needs air so much. God. He takes a second now, face flushed and then trying to turn away as he drops his hands back to himself. ] You'll get me excited again like that. I can't... I'm so tired.
leatherdaddy: (pic#11356638)

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-15 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha... [ Gladio laughs when Eichi presses a hand weakly against his cheek, turning to kiss his palm as he feels his body try to move away, that wet sound of their bodies moving while still connected is a profane icing on this teasing cake he's given him. Mercifully, Gladio ceases his teasing.

If that delicious slide of his softening length inside him is turning Eichi on, he's going to file that away, but who knows if his level of intoxication will mean he memory is blurred come morning. Right now he's feeling boneless and satisfied, sweaty but good and he ruffles Eichi's hair as he hides his face. ]


Mm... me too. I could just drift off... just like this.

[ Gladio mumbles as he draws back his hips enough to let himself slip out slowly, not wanting to cause him discomfort. But he's curling up around him a moment later despite the sweat on his skin. He desires that closeness even as drowsiness creeps into every corner of his body.

EIchi is about to learn two new facts tonight aside from whatever he's gleaned from this experience. The first being Gladio throws off an enormous amount of heat. The second? He hogs the bed, tends to spread his massive body out and stretch until he's spread-eagled over it or just tangles up in whatever he's sharing the sheets with. Probably a bit of both. ]
finethanks: (☆ 27)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-15 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[This is so intimate. His heart hurts, his body hurts, but Gladio's closeness makes it all okay. For now, he can enjoy this without any creeping anxiety. As soon as he's freed from Gladio inside of him teasing like that, he falls asleep near instantly.

Eichi isn't used to sharing a bed at all. He tries to spread out himself, but there's so much Gladio that he just can't. So he ends up trying to roll and turn away half of the time, and snuggling back into him the other half. At one point, he wakes up just enough to see Gladio's hand around him and gently slips his own fingers into it, quickly shutting his eyes afterwards.

He sleeps again through to the morning, and he'd be freezing if it weren't for Gladio right now. He normally sleeps fully clothed and still ends up cold, so this is a shock. Even still, he's not stirring enough to be actually awake, or he doesn't seem like it, at least. He's still, breathing normally, his legs tangled with Gladio's and his fingers still grabbing onto the shield's as well.

With the horrible hangover and pains he's about to wake up with, Gladio is going to have to be the first to wake up to this literal mess.]
leatherdaddy: (pic#11180050)

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-15 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Morning comes, but it's still too early for the sun to peak out over the horizon of the moon they're on by the time Gladio rouses sluggishly from sleep. His eyes feel heavy, stuck together with lack of hydration, his mouth feels dry and his head distantly hurts somewhere behind his eyes. In terms of hangovers, this is pretty mild. His stomach feels a little sour, but nothing he can't handle. He's just not ready to get out of bed, or swing his legs over it as he usually does. So he'll just stay here where he's warm a little longer...

His lips brush against soft, pale skin. They instinctively kiss it, attracted to the smoothness. There's something soft near his face, cool and fragrant with some familiar shampoo. He noses into it, murmuring a quiet sound as he moves against that warm body next to his and --

Amber eyes fly open, his shoulder tensing as he rises up on one elbow and stares at the figure he's spooning. ]


...Nn--!

[ Wakefulness suddenly grips him, his brain catching up and starting the slow process of reconciling the memories from last night as not some dirty dream. Dawning realization of who and what he did last night makes him swipe a palm over his eyes, his smile embarrassed and amused at once.

Okay. It's... still really, ridiculously early. The sun isn't even up yet, but there's enough of that grey, pre-dawn light to let him see Eichi's sleeping face. The fingers interlaced with his. Their legs tangled up and the very obvious nakedness beneath the sheets. Should he wake him? Should he gather up his clothes and sneak into his apartment? Should he just feign one of his excursions out past the perimeter as an excuse for his absence?

This is too much to consider right away, so Gladio falls back against the pillow and stares at the ceiling, props his head up behind him with his arm. His fingers flex between Eichi's fingers, his arm still around his sleeping body and holding his hand, hoping that is enough to gently wake him. ]
finethanks: (☆ 92)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-15 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[The truth is that Eichi's body is starting to react so much that he can't sleep very soundly now, anyway. He feels dizzy, or nauseous, and sleeping it off doesn't seem to be working. At first, he thinks Gladio's shifting from beside him is just the room spinning even with his eyes closed, but when those fingers wiggle between his own, his eyebrows twitch in concentration before his eyes open slowly.

Before he can even address the fact that he's naked in bed with Gladio (and the memories are very much there, for the most part), he has to deal with the sudden aching in his head. That, the dizzy-sick feeling, his heart beating too fast, and if Gladio looks at his face now, he'll notice that he looks as horrible as he feels. Heavy bags under his eyes show that he didn't sleep very well at all, even with this comfortable position, and he looks a little pale. Then again, he normally does.]


Ugh... [That's all he can say or think to say right now, closing his eyes and bringing his free hand to cover them even more. The room is still spinning, his head is pounding enough to shake his entire body, and he doesn't feel like he should move at all. But Gladio is very much next to him, isn't he?]

Good morning. [Kinda.]
leatherdaddy: (2567435 (2))

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-15 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey. You look terrible.

[ Wow, real nice, Gladio. To add insult to injury, Gladio looks aesthetic when he has no business being after going way too hard on the partying last night. He looks pretty relaxed against the pillow, languidly stretched out with an arm behind his head and his legs crossed at the ankles.

He pulls his arm, taking Eichi with it as he helps to roll him over to look at him. ]


We kinda partied a little too hard, huh? How bad is it?

[ That hangover, he means. He's trying to play it cool, but Eichi looks sick. That's... not good. And he's concerned that this is all going to compound into a bad situation. ]
finethanks: (☆ 93)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-15 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
["You look terrible" is the last thing he wants to hear right now, especially when he only wants to answer with "you don't." He's puzzling these thoughts out when Gladio tugs him closer and he rolls, placing his free hand on Gladio's chest to steady himself as he lets out a surprised little breath. Now, staring right at his chest, his cheeks begin to burn.]

I... I'd like to say "it's fine, I feel fine," but I don't think my lie would be very convincing right now. My head is hurting more than it ever has before, and I feel as though I might be sick, so please be careful where you're rolling me. I'm also quite sore...

[Everywhere. He's sore everywhere, and trying to shift into a better position tells him that in more detail. He makes a small noise at his pain, just collapsing back where he is, fingers curling lightly against Gladio's chest, and the others in Gladio's hand still.]

It's just that, well, that was the first time I've ever done anything like any of that, you know, so it makes sense that my body would be reacting like this. Is this what they call a "hangover?"
leatherdaddy: (pic#11388222)

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-07-15 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Gladio's brows lift and he laughs. Please don't get sick on him, that'll feel gross and then he'd have to wash not only the sheets but the mattress and... yeah. Let's just handle Eichi with extreme care, shall we? ]

If you feel a little queasy and your head hurts, that's definitely a hangover.

[ He looks at the hand on his chest, resting casually. Okay, that's... a sign he's not going to get his hopes up too high over, but Eichi isn't cringing into himself or bolting out of bed. Then again, he's not really in any condition to make sudden movements. Nevertheless, Gladio hopes his lighthearted attitude is infectious, that last night didn't scare off the best friend he has had in Riverview. ]

...What you need is a greasy breakfast. [ And a hot soak in a bath, if he's that sore. ]
finethanks: (☆ 30)

[personal profile] finethanks 2017-07-16 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
That... sort of thing is the opposite of what my doctor usually recommends.

[Ah, but his face is still red, and he's still naked and pressed up against Gladio. Is this fine? It feels fine, and everything that had been said the night before was... nice. He thinks? He can't remember every detail.

But he watches his own finger draw a curious line down Gladio's chest before turning it into a star.]


I can't make anything like that, you know. Even if I could, I feel as though it would be difficult to move, let alone try that.

[ Gladio probably shouldn't try to joke about this, but it slips out before he can help it. That implication, unintended of course, that he's bad for him. It's not untrue, not when he can't afford romance of a long term sort in his position, or what he thinks is his position... and also what Eichi can handle given his condition. ]

You saying this is bad for your heart?

[ That's reason for concern, considering their activities last night were of the heart-pounding kind. ]

...Does that mean what we did last night was dangerous?

...No, I don't think so.

[He decides to slide that hand more around Gladio, like a hug, ignoring the way his heart seizes up at the action.] I never feel truly in danger as long as Gladio is there. It's true that I never thought it would be possible for someone like me... but I was happy.

[He pauses, not wanting to look at Gladio's face.] Is that strange?

[ Gladio's brows lift. ]

Uh, considering I'm a bodyguard back home? No, that's... normal.

[ Him being that guy people feel safe around is the kind of thing he actively tries to be. Still, he has a feeling this means something slightly different to Eichi, so he pulls his arm from behind his head and strokes his forearm with a calloused thumb. ]

It was fun but not worth it if it puts you in danger.
