( 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. ))
Says the boy who's dressed to kill, ( ash laughs incredulously, head tipping to lean his head into gavi's gloved hand like a cat might, liking how his fingers feel as they brush through his hair.
still smiling, he presses a few teasing pecks to the other boy's lips, hips rolling once, twice, short little movements that let him really feel how hard gavi is already โ which is just another ego boost for ash, a dangerous thing for someone like him who absolutely revels in that shit, takes hold of it and runs with it. )
(( he's about to protest, once again explain that he came straight from work, that he was supposed to be working... but then ash is dotting those little teasing kisses on his lips and rolling his hips...
gavi gasps, his hips jerking up to meet the vampire's. his fingers inadvertently clench in ash's hair and his eyes flutter closed. when he does manage to find his words again, his voice is soft and breathless. ))
That was cheesy, ( ash teases, barely resisting the urge to pinch gavi's cheeks, watch them flush even more than the pink already spread over his skin. ) But cute.
( gavi's reaction to the way ash moves above him is practically anything but cute, though, those fingers tightening in his hair, lashes dusting his cheeks far too reminiscent of what it's like when he sinks his teeth into someone's skin at last, feeling any resistance giving way until they become soft and pliable beneath his lips. he bets gavi tastes as sweet as he acts ...
โ but ash is not going to feed from him tonight. he's not. even if the thought of it might get him a little flustered. licking his lips, he flattens his torso against gavi's, nose bumping against the other boy's and lips parted, breathing in his air as his own eyes flutter closed. he focuses on grinding against his lap, far more purposeful now, cock starting to fill out and strain against the tailored fabric of his slacks as he revels in the friction, in how warm the other boy is beneath him. )
(( but it's true! gavi's never nervous like this with clients at work. admittedly, most of them also don't sit there and grind against him either, but is that really the point? whatever the point is, it's lost to ash moving against him, leaning in so close... gavi even tilts his head back slightly, ready for a kiss that doesn't come.
words, more words. words gavi has to clear his mind to focus on making sense of.
prying his eyes open, gavi gazes up at ash, cheeks flushed and eyes already blown out. hungry, one might say. his fingers flex and loosen in ash's hair and he whimpers so quietly. ))
I am. ( at least he's honest, even if the wicked glint in his eye betrays his motivations. ) But you make the sweetest little sounds.
( and ash leans down to press his lips against gavi's again, kisses slow, purposeful, tongue tracing over his lip before sliding against the other boy's. one hand planted on the mattress to hold himself up, the other goes to gavi's hair, petting through his bleached strands as his hips move in measured circles against his lap.
there's a breath of a laugh against his mouth before ash unbuttons the rest of his shirt, tugging it off of his shoulders and tossing it carelessly to the floor. ) C'mon, ( he murmurs, corners of his mouth turned up into a devious smile. ) I wanna see more of you.
(( he manages a vague pout in the time before ash meets his lips for that deliberate and oh-so-wanted kiss. gavi arches up to meet him, to press closer, to taste and feel more, more, more. even if only briefly. when there's space between them again, gavi sags back against the bed, blinking up in a daze.
but something sharper comes to his eyes the moment ash tosses his shirt aside. he barely has to wait for ash to speak again to start on his own clothes. the glove, gone. fingers tugging impatiently at the belt around his own waist. buttons of the jacket next. he lifts off the bed just enough to wiggle out of it, eyes fixed on ash all the while. then, with a deliberate swipe of his tongue across his lips: ))
( is this enough? gavi asks with that peek of tongue over his kiss-swollen lips, after gazing at him so purposefully while removing one article of clothing after another. ash understands why gavi does what he does โ because he's good at it. a confidence but a sincere earnestness, too. ash's gums practically ache as he looks down at all of gavi's newly exposed skin, licking over his teeth habitually. humans are considered the victims of vampires, but looking at gavi beneath him with his flushed cheeks and quickening heartbeat that ash realizes he can hear, he feels like the prey.
he sighs softly, unbuckling his belt and tugging it off since it's starting to dig into his belly, unbuttoning and unzipping his pants but letting them sit on his hips still โ just for a little bit of relief. palms trace up gavi's torso, up over his chest and back down again, exploring, before he decides to answer. )
I'm trying to decide if it's worse to lie and say yes or tell you that no, it's not enough.
(( his eyes drift to ash's hands, watching each movement, ever habitual flick of his fingers to get the belt off and his pants undone. it's enough to make him breathless all over again. that intense gaze falls away when ash puts his hands on him. a soft puff of breath slips from those kiss-bruised lips and his lashes flutter until they rest on his pinked cheeks.
he arches up subtly into those exploring hands. gavi catches his lower lip in his teeth, a quiet, needy little sound escaping him. and when he opens his eyes again to peer up at ash, he decides to make this an easier decision. ))
