<font color="#e6c519] Likereal felt the slight stiffening in his boyfriend's shoulders before he felt Lotus relax within his arms once more, he felt it but didn't comment on it. His arms linking comfortably against his boyfriend, one of his hands rubbed softly at Lotus' hip as he glanced at the soup, "Mm...I finished the bathroom."
Remaining slightly bent over he lightly brushed his lips back and forth against his neck, soft and gentle before he murmured against his ear. "And you were inspirational, you helped me feel better about how my art was going, so I think it was a very important job.[/font]
<font color="19e65b]"Bathrooms finished already? My but you're fast," Lotus said, a bit surprised as he tipped his head back against Likèreal’s shoulder. He shrugged off the compliment though, knowing for himself that wasn't anything special as far as helping the artist out.
Lotus jerked a chin at the food simmering and waiting for them on the stove top, "You hungry? And if you need, you can take a shower after you eat, the food's perfect now. Not later."[/font]
<font color="#e6c519]Likereal chuckled softly as the other male rested his head against his shoulder, his thumb still rubbing across Lotus' hip as he glanced over at the food. "Well, bamboo isn't too difficult to do plus you've been cooking for about forty-five minutes and it smells delicious."
His lips quirked slightly at the command that he could shower later and not now. He kissed the male's neck softly and responded, "Of course I wouldn't want to ruin the food. Have I done all of the rooms then?"
Thoughtful his gaze shifted towards the food catching sight of the desert he smiled before adding, "Didn't you say they wanted something in the bedroom?"[/font]
<font color="19e65b]Lotus frowned in thought, did he want the bedroom done? He supposed after all this, it would make sense that that would be the last room. He certainly wasn't going to have his lab room painted, it would look---odd.
"Y-es. That would be the last room, this place isn't too terribly large. Uhm..." his thought process did a small tumble at the thought of Likereal in the sanctuary of his room. In his bedroom. A sexual image of the Fallen dark man stretched out naked in his masculine ease on this sheets made the assassin's face turn white to beat red.
He brusquely nodded his head, not even paying attention to Like as he wiggled from his arms to busy himself with getting plates and forks and chopsticks and spoons...and....placemats....and..........glasses....and......and..... [/font]
<font color="#e6c519]Golden eyes shifted back towards Lotus when he didn't answer for a while, curious about whether or not he was wrong. He'd been almost positive the male had mentioned the bedroom earlier. He nodded slightly in agreement when Lotus said it would be the last room, though he caught sight of his face that had turned bright red before the other assassin pulled away.
Bemused he watched Lotus as he tried to wiggle from his arms, allowing them to drop and the other male to escape with a tad reluctance. He continued watching as he started moving around the kitchen gathering all the various things with surprising ease, but perhaps he'd checked where everything was while he was still upstairs painting. Still he was curious what it was that had caused him to flush so deeply, it was when he'd mentioned the bedroom. Perhaps Lotus' libido had kicked in momentarily at the mention of the bedroom? He could only wish. Likereal said softly, "Do you need any help in setting the table or putting the food out?" [/font]
<font color="19e65b]"Nope. Got it covered. You go and plant yourself in a chair and I'll follow after," he said, still trying to get his facial features under control, not to mention the hardness that was growing between his legs---apparently not going to easily be dispersed with sheer mental thought.
He gathered all the things he needed and then some, quickly placing out the mats and glassware and utensils, getting a tray to carry the soup bowls and plates heavily laddened. [/font]
<font color="#e6c519]Likereal watched the other male curious, he'd never seen him flush so darkly before...not that he could remember anyway. Despite his teasing and flirting he rarely ever got such a response. He stepped slightly closer, his fingers lightly brushing through Lotus' hair as his breath tickled his ear, "Are you sure?"
Golden eyes sliding across to the various things that needed to be brought across, "Because that is a lot for you to bring across yourself..." [/font]
<font color="19e65b]"I worked as a server before, I can manage," He mumbled, brushing off the concern as he more immediately fretted about how he was going to walk that distance from the kitchen to the table and back without his...dilemma...getting noticed.[/font]
<font color="#e6c519]Likereal watched Lotus for a few moments wondering why he was so adament about doing it himself before he finally shrugged lightly, fingers trailing down the other male's spine as he stepped away from him. "Alright, but I hope your stubbornness doesn't make you drop something," he stated as he walked towards the table.
He pulled out one of the chairs and sat down, crossing his legs at the ankles though his gaze once more focused on Lotus as he did so. He was the most interesting thing in the room after all, and he wasn't entirely certain he wasn't going to end up dropping something.[/font]
<font color="19e65b]Lotus grabbed a serving tray, placing portions on the plates, and then the bowls ladeled with the steaming soup, hoisting it up by a strong arm to rest on his shoulder as he grabbed two bottles of beer by the neck, and walked up to the table where Likereal was reposed. He carefully put down the chilled bottles next to the tall glasses, before handing out the plate and the bowl.
"Is there anything else you might want? Soy sauce, chinese mustard?" He asked as he moved carefully to put his own meal down, careful to cover himself with the tray when it was empty. [/font]
<font color="#e6c519]Likereal continued watching him, resting his chin on the palm of his hand as the other male hoisted the tray upwards, he was half expecting it to all crash. He was sure it had to be heavy but it didn't seem to bother the other male and that caused him to smile slightly as his gaze trailed down the other male's form.
The golden gaze pausing momentarily on the tightness of the male's pants before his gaze shifted upwards to the food that the male was putting down. One hand shifting to grasp the bottles and he twisted the cap, opening it easily before pouring it into the glass and repeating it, having disregarded it as just Lotus' choice of pants.
"No this is fine, thank you," He said with a smile though his attention shifted slightly at the shift of the tray. "Did you spill something on yourself?" he queried.[/font]
<font color="19e65b]Lotus stared at his boyfriend blankly for a moment, not understanding until he followed Likereal's gaze down his tummy to his....he caught his breath with a groan before letting it out to play it off with a loud laugh. "Ah...yeah. I thought I was being subtle. I'll just need a minute to clean up," he quickly said, already turning tail to head back into the safety the kitchen offered.
He made sure to make a fuss about it--getting a towel, turning on the water....but the rubbing was superficial with his back to the Fallen. That surely would make this only more awkward, he thought with silent groan, glaring down at himself.
What timing!
The assassin knew he couldn't just stand there all night, though the thought was tempting indeed. Instead he tried to calm himself as best he could before quickly sauntering back to the table, plopping himself down fast.[/font]
<font color="#e6c519]Likereal's lips quirked slightly as Lotus looked embarrassed before admitting that he had spilled something over himself. Gold eyes focused on him as Lotus made his way into the kitchen and went about cleaning himself up, the fallen didn't hide his curiosity. He wondered whether perhaps he was aroused and that was the reason for his reactions and the tight pants, but he'd never caught Lotus like that before, usually the male spent the majority his time pushing him off and telling him he wasn't interested. And he hadn't even done anything this time...
He smiled at Lotus when he made his way back over and sat down. He picked up his own glass of beer and sipped it lightly before putting it back down again, picking up his spoon. He lightly stirred it before bringing a spoonful to his lips, blowing it before bringing it into his mouth.
Likereal smiled as he lowered the spoon once more, "Delicious, thank you."[/font]
<font color="19e65b]Lotus smiled at that, pleased to see Likereal take the first bite and taste, even as he pretended that Likereal hadn't been staring at him more intently than usual. He couldn't cross his legs, so he carefully spread them and leaned forward, assuming a very casual position, as he picked up his chopsticks and started in himself.
"I'm glad to hear. How long do you think you'll need to finish up? Or did you have other plans tonight? I think you could come back tomorrow if you needed instead?" he inquired around a chicken and pork potsticker. [/font]
<font color="#e6c519]Likereal smiled and continued to drink the soup, picking up the bowl carefully he brought it up slightly making it easier, he'd never understood why most mortals liked bringing food such a long distance from the plate to their mouth. He liked the japanese custom a lot more, made more sense.
He continued sipping the soup though he paused, uncrossing his legs at the ankles he moved one leg forward slightly, rubbing his calf along Lotus' as he pondered the question, "Well I'm going to have to leave them a few hours before I can put a few coats of protective gloss over them, so I can do that tomorrow."
"As for how long I need to finish up..." Likereal thought to himself about the last room, he'd been making quite good time with the rest of the rooms. "Well it depends on how complicated I make the painting in that room, I haven't seen it so I haven't made a decision...perhaps a few more hours?"[/font]
<font color="19e65b]Lotus felt a shiver up his leg at the brief contact, pausing in his bite even to let it wash through him before saying with a slightly husky voice, "There are many more layers and processes to this than I had thought. I'm sure the owners will be pleased at your attention to detail and care."
A few more hours? Lotus glanced at the clock, and shook his head, "It'll be awfully late by the time you're finished. You wanna just save yourself the extra trip and crash here tonight?" He said it lightly enough, but to be truthful, he was terrified that he'd say yes.
Or that he'd say no. [/font]
<font color="#e6c519]Golden eyes watched Lotus carefully and he smiled at the other male's response, his calf continued to rub gently back and forth against Lotus' as he smiled around the spoon. Lowering it he nodded, "If I don't put anything over it the paint can chip, peel or fade so its important to protect it."
He hadn't expected that, the rubbing paused and the spoon paused as well on its way to his mouth. Contemplating for a moment he lowered the bowl and spoon once more, taking a sip of his beer, it would make things a lot easier than Lotus going through the long route in an attempt for him to not recognise the address again tonight and tomorrow.
His gaze glimmered softly at the thought of sleeping in the same place as Lotus once more, it had been a while since he'd managed that. Who was he to let such a chance slip by him again? "That's true...it would make it easier not to have to go through an extended drive tonight and tomorrow morning. They wouldn't mind?" He queried.[/font]
Remaining slightly bent over he lightly brushed his lips back and forth against his neck, soft and gentle before he murmured against his ear. "And you were inspirational, you helped me feel better about how my art was going, so I think it was a very important job.[/font]
