Oh, look who comes wandering into the lobby. And all dressed up, too! (His original plans were work-related, after all. If Ash declined his offer to hang out, he would've showered and curled up in his sweats. Alas, gotta look nice for a date! ))
( it isn't often that ash is rendered speechless, and yet.
his eyes widen the moment the automatic doors open and gavi strolls inside, standing up far too abruptly as he approaches the desk, rolling chair rattling a little in the process. why does his mouth feel so dry all of a sudden? why does his throat ache with thirst when he'd fed two days ago? where did that cozy, fluffy boy go?
he clears his throat. ) If you think mid-range hotel rooms are very nice, then yes.
( he's keeping it very cool. ) I have to go clock out โ I'll be right back. ( and ash disappears behind a door in a flash, mostly to scream internally, but also to clock out. when he returns, it's through a different door that leads to the lobby. with a small smile, he offers his hand, gesturing to the elevators. ) Shall we?
(( Listen, Ash isn't the only one freaking out inside. Gavi may have learned how to control his expressions but he can't stop his heart from pounding and -- UGH -- vampires can usually hear that! You'd think he'd be better at keeping his cool since he works with vampires nightly. Or maybe he's just extra nervous because this is a personal rendezvous, not just something transactional.
Okay, Gavi, just take a deep breath. Breathe.
When Ash comes back from screaming internally clocking out, Gavi smiles warmly and nods at the invitation. ))
( in all honesty, ash does hear gavi's quickening heartbeat in his ears โ except he thinks that it's his. he's fresh enough to to this life that he sometimes ... forgets that his heart doesn't beat anymore. he's unsubtle about the way he reaches for gavi's hand, interlinking their fingers together and he leads them into an elevator, pressing the button for the eleventh floor.
it's easier for ash to keep his wits about him standing beside him since looking at gavi all made up and in that outfit is like staring into the sun. sure, a sideways glance reminds ash how much taller gavi is than him, makes him think about how much he'd like to end up tangled up in him โ )
Oh, I live here. It's part of my employment contract since I needed something a little more ... private than my childhood bedroom once things changed for me.
((Oh!. Gavi blinks but tries his hardest not to look so very surprised when Ash threads their fingers together. Sure, it's hardly the first time someone's taken him by the hand to lead him elsewhere. But coming from Ash, it feels more like genuine affection than some sort of territorial act to show 'this one is mine for the night.'
For the record, Ash isn't the only one of them thinking about how nice it would be to get all tangled up. Gavi makes a great big spoon! ))
I get that. Amour's the same way. Room and board is part of the compensation.
(( Did Ash know Gavi worked and lived there? Oops. Well, he does now. ))
It's so convenient. No driving across town when you're pooped to get to bed.
( oh, that's โ hmm. ash's teeth worry at his lip as he considers that thought. humans, essentially living in vampire captivity (or so he thinks โ his perceptions of the club are admittedly warped). maybe that's a little dramatic, much like his very vocal concerns over gavi's safety in a club like that, but.
it's genuine. probably too much so โ if only because ash knows how vampires can get. when he hasn't fed for a while, he gets cranky, morose, glaring down everything with a pulse, dark circles under his eyes. there was once he'd gone so long that he'd nearly lost control.
gavi is far too cute to get eaten by some selfish prick vampire, even if a glance at the tall boy beside him in the mirrored walls of the elevator remind him that he's dressed far less than cute this evening. he clears his throat as the elevator pings for his floor, starting a long walk down the hallway towards his room. )
I know what you mean. Ten A.M. rolls around and I'm ready to throw on my pajamas and curl up in bed. ( there's a beat, in which ash tips his chin up to smile ever-so-innocently at gavi. ) You don't have to worry about making it home today.
(( In Gavi's defense, he was supposed to have a work date tonight. That's really the only reason he dressed like that! Not that he doesn't want to look hot for Ash, but honestly, he'd rather be in comfy sweatpants and an oversized hoodie. He'd rather scrub the makeup off and make a cup of a cocoa and chill. At least the chill part will happen.
Gavi jerks his head to gape at Ash. A few seconds drag on and he finally mumbles... ))
( guess who has a cheeky grin for that, briefly pausing their walk because this is serious. )
Guess you'll have to sleep naked, then.
( and there's a beat that ash lets linger in the air for a moment ... before he bursts out laughing and gives gavi's hand a squeeze, practically dragging him the rest of the way down the hallway. )
I'm kidding. ( mostly! kind of! he fishes in his pocket for his room key and taps it against the lock, pushing the door open and standing against it to let gavi in first, ever a gentleman. ) You can borrow mine, even if I think you're gonna give me a complex when you look better in them than I do.
(( He wearing underwear, after all! So it's not like he's getting completely naked here. Okay, time to examine the room so he doesn't have to dwell on the idea of Ash thinking of him naked. ))
It's bigger than my place.
(( Granted, his place is meant for entertaining customers and sleeping on off hours, so it's not grand. ))
It's bigger than my old room at my parents' house, too.
( which isn't saying much, since ... childhood bedroom and all, but hey. his room here isn't a suite or anything, but he does have a little pull-out couch, a mini fridge, and a plug-in hot plate that his mom bought him when he moved out.
ash flicks on a light or two, kicking off his loafers and undoing his tie so it hangs loosely around his neck before hopping onto the foot of his bed, bouncing a little. he leans back on his hands, head tipping back to admire gavi in all his pretty glory for probably a hair too long, knees parting habitually. ) C'mere. ( and he reaches out to make a little grabby hand towards him. ) I'm ready to chill.
((Oh. Please don't mind the way Gavi's eyes follow Ash's hands when he loosens his tie. That almost-but-not-quite-disheveled look suits him well. Gavi wouldn't mind helping to push him into the solidly disheveled territory. Also don't mind him very intentionally sweeping his tongue across his lips the second before he's beckoned closer.
And closer he comes. Gavi's so ready to chill. With Ash, specifically.
He slinks closer, more keenly aware of their height difference while he's standing between Ash's knees and the other's seated. Looming over him, even. Gavi leans in just a little, draping his arms over Ash's shoulders, a most inviting smile curling his lips. ))
I've been wanting you to kiss me since I walked in.
( well doesn't ash look so very pleased to have this tall, adorable โ ugh, sexy man draped over him, settled between his knees? and if he parts his thighs to invite him in further, how can he be blamed?
his grin is wide as he tips his chin up to look at him, pearly whites on display, quite satisfied with gavi's answer. ash quirks an eyebrow, a hand reaching up to pet through his bleached hair affectionately, brushing lower to settle against his cheek. ) Oh, have you? ( he might sound patronizing were he not so utterly sincere. )
Then maybe I should kiss you, hmm? ( ash is tiny compared to gavi but is kind of reveling in the differences between their heights, craning his neck upwards and yanking gavi's face down till their mouths are a breath away, lips brushing against his as he murmurs, ) I think that sounds like a good idea.
( and then he presses his lips against gavi's in a kiss that's incredibly soft and tender โ at least until he breaks it, shifting back to lay on his bed, pulling gavi with him. )
(( He's been thinking about Ash's lips for longer than that, but he doesn't want to sound desperate. Even if he is desperate for something adjacent to real affection. Those dark eyes flutter closed and Gavi whines deep in his throat, leaning in closer to chase down more, more, more of that much-desired contact.
Gavi follows when he's pulled, leaning as far as he can before he has to put his knees on the bed and crawl over Ash. Peering down at hims through half-lidded eyes, he wets his lips again and, this time, it's Gavi who closes the space between them to catch Ash's lips in a more demanding kiss. ))
( god โ that sound that gavi makes, that desperate little whine once ash finally gives him what he wants โ is practically enough to go right to his dick. at the very least, it goes right to his ego, reveling in the fact that the mere promise of something as simple as a kiss gets gavi worked up. oh, he's gonna have too much fun this lonely morn-evening.
ash lays back easily as gavi climbs on top of him โ all by his own design, of course. he tips his chin up to kiss him back with equal fervor, lips parting to slide slowly against the other boy's, his hand reaching up so his fingers can card through his hair again, back arching up off of the bed so he can press against his front during a deeper, needier meeting of lips. )
What the โ ( ash groans as his head flops back against the mattress, panting softly, needing a breather. ) You're so hot โ it's incredibly hard to resist you.
(( It isn't like Gavi hasn't been fantasizing about Ash prior to this very night... err, morning! Learning Ash is a vampire is just icing on a very delicious cake. So delicious Gavi almost forgets he needs to breathe while his tongue delves into Ash's mouth to make a very thorough map of the terrain.
When Ash flops back against the bedding, Gavi stares down at him, flushed and breathless. Ah, but he can't help smiling at the compliment. In the back of his mind, he hopes that being a little flirty doesn't seem fake. It always feels so fake to him at work. Maybe the fact that he's self-conscious about it not proves its not. ))
( oh, gavi is so fucking cute, flushed and so, so eager, ash could die. well, if he wasn't already dead, technically. he could eat him whole โ and he still might, which is where that nice little thing called self-control begrudgingly comes back into play.
it makes him laugh, really. ) Oh, you have no idea.
( โ because ash desperately, desperately wants this to be more than some quick hook up in the name of quenching his thirst. it doesn't mean that he can't show off his strength, though, especially since gavi already knows his secret. so, his hands grip gavi's shoulders, rolling them over so ash can sit on top of him, grinning a little, preening a lot as he undoes his tie the rest of the way, throwing it to the floor, unbuttoning the first few buttons of his shirt before leaning back down to press a kiss to the corner of gavi's mouth, lingering there with a coy smile. )
(( Oh, shit! Not only was that move fucking sexy but with Ash sitting astride him like that... Well, there isn't really any hiding that he's turned on already. Sorry, not sorry.
Gavi watches him intently, barely even blinking as Ash tugs off the tie and undoes only a few more buttons (what a tease! but Gavi's lying if he says he doesn't like it.). He should probably lose a few things, maybe the belt around his very narrow waist or the glove on his hand... Alas, he's too entranced with Ash to remember any of then.
Finally, he breathes out a sigh and reaches up with his bare hand to ghost in fingers so lightly over Ash's cheek on the way to combing them through his hair. ))
