[checkouts]

( yeah, he's trolling. )

[sippy_cup]

Uh-oh. Are you going to want me to cosplay to be sexier?

[checkouts]

nah, you're sexy enough. 😌

[sippy_cup]

🤭🤭🤭 flatterer~

[checkouts]

it's quite literally the least i can do. 😋
this shift feels like it's taking the rest of my eternal life to be over.

[sippy_cup]

want me to come visit?

[checkouts]

i'd never get anything done!
are you excited or something? 😋

[sippy_cup]

(( SO. MUCH. BLUSHING! ))

maybe a little.

[checkouts]

what part are you most excited for hmmmmm?
🤔

[sippy_cup]

(( The make-outs, ofc! Maybe a little nibble? ))

how can you ask that when I don't know what to expect? this is our first date!

[checkouts]

i'm just trying to do a little reconnaissance here lololol
make sure i meet your expectations.

[sippy_cup]

we're really doing Netflix and chill right? like the connotation of it, not the literal version?

(( Please, please, please. He really wants to snuggle and such, Ash! ))

[checkouts]

yes, i'll forgo the hot pirates today.
i think my attention would be better suited elsewhere.

[sippy_cup]

(( YAY! ))

hot pirates next time. you have my word.

[checkouts]

only a little while longer.
my room here is very nice.

(( Not at long as Ash thinks.

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! ))

Very nice, huh?

[checkouts]

( 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 — 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?

[sippy_cup]

(( 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. ))

Do you stay here a lot?

(( With other people? goes unspoken. ))

[checkouts]

( in all honesty, ash does hear gavi's quickening heartbeat in his ears — 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 — )

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.

( casual. very casual. )

[sippy_cup]

(( 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.

[checkouts]

( oh, that's — hmm. ash's teeth worry at his lip as he considers that thought. humans, essentially living in vampire captivity (or so he thinks — 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 — 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.

[sippy_cup]

(( 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... ))

I didn't bring anything to sleep in...

[checkouts]

( 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.
