Thaddeus smirked and spoke airily.
Ah, but you forget; -I- am a good influence on your trouble making ways.
He snuggled up to Alfarinn, throwing and arm around the other man and kissing him lightly on the neck.
You see? An -excellent- influence. As for what you would do with me...I do believe I can think of a few ways to keep you out of trouble.
He looked up at Alfarinn and smiled mischievously. It would be good to have this short time to themselves, though much of it would be spent pursuing the killer. The fact that the two men worked together as well as they played made the thought of the task ahead of them more than bearable. In fact, Thaddeus felt it was better this way, to become involved in each other's lives and find out what is important to each other. It made everything more real to him, knowing that there was more to the two of them than this apartment and a short time in his life. And while Thaddeus could not say he was looking forward to telling Anantya his choice, it was somewhat of a relief to have a plan in place.
I am sorry to say, however, that I do not have a chess set. So we shall have to come up with another activity to keep you on your best behavior.
Whatever will we do?
Alfarinn set down the bags just to the side of the entrance, barely having time to scoop them up before Thaddeus pulled him towards the apartment. He still had not been able to erase the grin from his face at his companion's haste. Feeling an equal excitement at the thought of finally have a few moments of privacy with the Anantya.
Now that they were out of the public eye once more, He leaned against the door and regarded his companion with a smirk.
"So here we are two people, alone in an apartment, at night, eternally in the prime of our lives... hmm He paused, hand rubbing his chin thoughtfully, eyes glinting with mischief.
"How about a nice game of chess?"

"I see. Well that -is- unfortunate."
Alfarinn smiled and put his arms around Thaddeus. Happy to have him close again. It was ironic in some ways that several of his abilities were heightened by touch. There were times he'd tried his best to minimize contact just for that reason, overwhelmed by his own emotions, he didn't want to add another person's. Over the years though, he'd come to use his senses and contact without giving it a second thought. He had been this way so long now that it was hard to imagine being any other. At the moment touching someone was about the most pleasant thing he could think of doing and Alfarinn settled more comfortably in the embrace.
"So since we will not be playing chess this evening, what does the good influence suggest?"
He tried his best to hide a smile but was unsuccessful. Truth be told, Thaddeus probably would be a good influence on him and no one saw that better than he did.

Thaddeus bit his lip and smiled slowly.
I might have an idea. His shy smile turned to a smirk as he regarded Alfarinn. And I assure you, he leaned forward and kissed the Evenhet ever so lightly on the neck, it would be good, -clean- fun.
He made a valiant effort to look serious now in spite of the grin attempting to come through, arching his eyebrow and speaking in a solemn tone.
Additionally, we would be contributing to responsible conservation practices. Conserving water is, I hear, good for the environment.
That said, he nodded in the direction of the bathroom, hoping his suggestion was clear enough.
Of course, he leaned forward again, kissing the Evenhet on the mouth this time, there are more ideas where that came from, if that one doesn't suit you.
Thaddeus ran his fingers through Alfarinn's hair and smiled easily, keeping eye contact with the other man and hoping his sincerity came through. If his admittedly bold proposition did not interest him, Thaddeus would take no issue with him saying so. There was in fact a part of him that wanted to blush and look away even though it was his idea to begin with, but he kept his gaze steady.

"Well if it is for such a good cause..."
Alfarinn smiled at Thaddeus. The man was absolutely charming with his demure advances. It had been a very long time since he felt so thoroughly taken in by such a suggestion. Playful banter and innuendo were typical and all too easily taken for granted, just not from Thaddeus, Alfarinn assumed it was that the forwardness was so contrary to the Anantya's very proper nature.
He pulled Thaddeus to him for another kiss not quite willing to move without at least one more and then slid out from under his companion to stood next to the bed. He looked back at the Anantya and smiled.
"You are completely irresistible, you know."

Thaddeus returned the smile, not trusting himself to speak, still shocked in a way that Alfarinn had actually agreed, and climbed to his knees on the bed. This gave him a few extra inches of height, which he used to his full advantage, kissing the Evenhet soundly before stepping off the bed and taking the other man by the hand.
And he continued kissing him, walking backward all the way to the bathroom, even when he stumbled over Alfarinn's shoes and had to grab the chest of drawers to keep from falling, knowing that if he broke this contact his hands would start shaking again and he didn't want that, not now, not when he was so close and so sure. By the time his hand reached the bathroom door he felt as though he were floating, dizzy with kisses and anticipation. He turned on the light almost violently, blindly, scraping his knuckles on the fixture, but the light was on, it was alright, and Thaddeus never felt a thing.
He turned for a moment, leaning over to turn the shower on and adjusting the setting to full heat, before bringing his attention back to Alfarinn. His hands really -were- shaking now, it couldn't be helped, but he slid them almost carefully under the Evenhet's shirt and that seemed to steady him some, that sudden touch of cool bare skin under his hands. For a moment he simply relished that feeling, kissing Alfarinn and running his hands up his well sculpted back, before gathering the fabric of the other man's shirt in his hands, up to the shoulders, then breaking the kiss and whispering in his ear.
Indulge me. You're very tall, you know.

Alfarinn watched Thaddeus through the short walk to the bathroom, reaching out a hand once when the blonde stumbled, though it had been unnecessary. He marvelled again how this felt so different than the typical one night fling. How long had it truly been since he'd felt this caught up in just wanting to be near someone? To hear them speak?
Noticing the slight trembling in his companion caused him to feel a rush of affection and sympathy. This meant so much to Thaddeus, and for Alfarinn that evoked more than a little joy and wonder that this man was ready and willing to trust him this much, this soon. It was overwhelming and touching.
He closed his eyes in pleasure as those warm hands slid across his bare skin, causing all thoughts to flee from his mind, chased away by that thrilling touch. When Thaddeus whispered softly in his ear it took Alfarinn a moment to process the words. Eventually understanding, he murmured a somewhat embarrassed apology and helped Thaddeus ease the shirt over his head.
"Of course, I'm sorry." Alfarinn blushed, which seemed to happen with more frequency around the blonde in front of him, Thaddeus caught him off guard more than once, making him feel young and untried once again. It was a strange and marvellous situation and he did not begrudge the relationship a few awkward moments in return for the renewal of such genuine feeling.

Thaddeus vaguely registered Alfarinn's apology, though he was as always slightly mystified by his reasons. Still, he mumbled something that might have been reassuring as he kissed his way along the Evenhet's collarbone, some approximation of Alfarinn's name.
He was finding it rather difficult to stop touching that smooth cool skin pulled taut over firm muscle. He ran his hands softly down the other man's back, along his ribs, brushing over the smooth lines of his stomach with his fingertips before forcing his hands to move to the buttons of his own shirt and resorting to kissing every inch of skin he could reach.
Some distant part of his mind was notifying him of the excessive amount of buttons on his shirt, while another was encouraging him to simply rip the damn thing off, but Thaddeus took his time, enjoying the opportunity to finally fulfill that desire to kiss Alfarinn this way, to explore his body tenderly and without inhibition. At last the shirt dropped to the floor, and Thaddeus took a step back, stripping off the tee shirt underneath in one fluid motion before pulling Alfarinn close to him again, shivering with the pleasure of bare skin on bare skin. His mouth found Alfarinn's, crashed into it with shocking intensity as he ran his hands down the Evenhet's sides, down to his hips, drawing little circles with his thumbs before breaking the kiss and looking questionably into the other man's eyes, as though unsure if this was really allowed, unsure if he could really have this moment.

Thaddeus's roving hands and delicate lips were creating a desire that was achingly intense. It was a good thing the blonde seemed certain about this because Alfarinn had no wish for him to stop. He held on to his companion by the hips, partly to keep his balance from the maddening touches that were making him somewhat dizzy.
Alfarinn watched the Anantya carefully divest himself of the shirt, so precise despite his obvious desire to be otherwise. It was provocative in its own way, those graceful fingers skillfully opening each button, he found himself mesmerized by them.
A small sigh escaped him when Thaddeus pressed himself up against him, warm chest so smooth pushed up against his own. His grip tightened in response and he pulled Thaddeus closer, returning the Anantya's kiss with his own ferocity.
Opening his eyes when the embrace ended, Alfarinn smiled Thaddeus's questioning glance.
"Don't stop on my account." He gave him a sideways grin before moving his hands to the button on Thaddeus's pants.
"In fact, let me help." Alfarinn slowly pushed down the zipper and slid his hands under the waistline of all the garments in the way of that tantalizing skin.
Kneeling in front of Thaddeus, he slid these slowly down sculpted thighs before easing them off completely to join the discarded shirts. Standing back up he regarded his companion with a smile and ran his fingers lazily along one bare hip.
"Perfect."

A moment ago Thaddeus could not seem to stop himself from touching the Evenhet, from running his hands over that smooth skin; now he found himself quite frozen in place, transfixed by the feel of the last of his clothing slipping away from him, by the man kneeling in front of him.
He let his eyes slide shut, just for a moment, but when he opened them Alfarinn's eyes met his own. He could not seem to tear his gaze away, though a part of him, suddenly aware of just how exposed he was, how laid bare, wanted to bury his face in the Evenhet's shoulder, wanted the security of his arms. He shivered at the delicate touch on his hip, cool fingers against his burning skin, but even then he did not look away.
There was, however, the matter of far too much clothing between them still, and so when Alfarinn made his gentle declaration Thaddeus found that whatever held him immobile fell away from him, and he smiled, softly, and shook his head.
Nearly. Not yet.
Still meeting Alfarinn's eyes, Thaddeus ran his fingers lightly down the other man's chest, then lower, stopping at the top of his pants. He was sure, hands shaking as they were, that this would be beyond him, and was pleasantly surprised when his trembling fingers actually obeyed his wishes, unbuttoning the pants, pulling down the zipper, sliding deftly down Alfarinn's bare hips, curving around his thighs, letting the fabric gather on the inside edge of his thumbs. Even when he kissed the Evenhet's hip, having somehow slid to his knees, he kept his eyes on Alfarinn's, his mouth curving into a smile against the other man's skin as he slid his pants completely off.
He came to his feet slowly, running his hand up one thigh as he went, curving it around and letting it rest at the small of the other man's back, and only then did rest his head, for a moment, on Alfarinn's shoulder, kissing his neck gently and speaking softly.
Much better. Now how about that shower?
With that, he adjusted the temperature to a more reasonable level and stepped in, carefully, pulling Alfarinn with him.

Alfarinn watched his companion patiently, enjoying the feeling of warm hands divesting him of the last of his clothing. The slide of fabric and flesh down his legs made him shiver slightly, sending a small thrill of anticipation through him. Hardly shy about being naked, He regarded Thaddeus calmly, grinning at the gentle kiss upon his hip. The Anantya was seductive with his small smile and sincere focus. He found himself caught in that heated gaze that was at once passionate and shy.
He reached out a hand and gently ran a hand through it through short blonde hair, twirling a small piece between the tips of his fingers as he continued to watch his companion.
Alfarinn held Thaddeus close for a brief moment, enjoying the feeling of him fully pressed against his now bare skin. A disappointed frown appeared briefly as the Anantya pulled away from him.
Alfarinn stepped into the shower after the blonde and once more pulled him close.
"You know... somehow I think we'll end up being in here twice as long as we normally would." He shrugged slightly "However, I think we'll more than make up for using the same amount of water."

Thaddeus grinned and nuzzled Alfarinn's neck, simply enjoying the feel of his body pressed close to the other man's, the hot water streaming over them both, pounding on the back of his neck, soaking their hair and leaving little droplets on their skin. He brushed his lips smoothly over that perfect curve, then traced the same path carefully with his tongue, tasting the water mingled with Alfarinn's skin, shivering in spite of the warmth from the shower. He rested his head on the Evenhet's shoulder once again and reached up to play with a strand of wet hair as he whispered in the other man's ear.
Anything for the sake of cleanliness, after all.
With one hand on either shoulder, he kissed the other man's collarbone, then slid down his chest, slowly, tasting as he went, knees bent but not kneeling just yet, kissing between his ribs, along the lines of his defined muscles, marking each spot, remembering, taking note of a few to enjoy later on, before reaching underneath the other man's arm and taking the shampoo bottle out of the caddy hanging off the side of the tub. He rose to his full height once again, stealing a few kisses as he went, and smiled at the Evenhet.
By your leave, of course?
He held up the bottle of shampoo in what he hoped was an enticing manner and raised an eyebrow.

Alfarinn had to let go of Thaddeus who was steadily sliding down his chest kissing as he went. He put his hands out to the side of the shower in order to hold himself steady, the mix of warm water and smooth lips leaving him weak in the knees.
Anything for cleanliness, indeed!. That well spoken voice, so quiet and suggestive near his ear, sent shivers down his spine. He was about to remark on it but was immediately preoccupied by some new touch of his companion.
When Thaddeus stood up in front of him once more he carefully removed his hands and placed them back around his companion enjoying the feeling of warm wet skin under his cool touch.
Alfarinn arched an eyebrow at the bottle in the Anantya's hand. It would seem they were to get very clean after all. He smiled and took one long kiss from Thaddeus's lips before turning around and placing a hand out to the wall to steady himself once more.
"Certainly."
Inwardly he was still surprised at the interest his hair seemed to hold. The blonde's hands running through it were enough to drive him to distraction and he was grateful that Thaddeus seemed more than willing to place them there.

Thaddeus leaned into the kiss, relishing the taste of Alfarinn's mouth on his own, and slid one arm around the other man as he turned around.
With his other hand Thaddeus reached up and gathered Alfarinn's hair, lifting it out of his way and standing lightly on the balls of his feet to kiss the back of the other man's neck He lingered there for a moment and allowed his hands to wander over the Evenhet's shoulders and trace the line of his spine. His eyes he permitted to roam even lower before he told himself in mock sternness that he was meant to be washing the other man's hair. He did, however, allow himself a smile before opening the shampoo bottle and pouring some into his hand.
Still on his toes, he began at the roots, running his hands through the silky wet strands of hair and moving his fingers in little spirals over the Evenhet's scalp, careful to ensure he included even the small fine hairs at the hairline before letting his hands glide down to work the shampoo through the length of his mane.
He would freely admit he was taking longer than strictly necessary, though Alfarinn did have an impressive amount of hair to be washed. Sliding his fingers up through the now quite well lathered hair was enough to make him weak in the knees, which wouldn't do at all considering he had to stand on tip toe to reach the other man properly, and so he leaned a little on the Evenhet and kissed his shoulder.
Have you -any- idea of the effect this has on me? Now close your eyes.
Thaddeus slid his hand gently under Alfarinn's chin, tilting it back slightly, and moved aside to let the water rinse the other man's hair, continuing to run his fingers through it as the soapy lather washed away.

Alfarinn sighed content, his eyes closed enjoying the feel of Thaddeus's fingers moving through his hair. At any other time the gentle pulls of the graceful hands sliding down the long strands would be relaxing and he could imagine no better way to fall asleep than laying his head on the Anantya's chest and feeling those fingers combed slowly through his hair.
At this moment it was arousing, along with the gentle brushes of Thaddeus up against him as he leaned forward to reach the highest parts of his head. Alfarinn longed to turn around and pull that warm enticing body up against his own.
It was a pleasant sort of pain, this inability to touch and he was willing to be patient. This allowed him to be still and simply sense his companion which was a joy all its own. There was comfort in feeling the same emotions returned to him, the desire and affection mingled with the things that was so uniquely Thaddeus, the determination to move forward despite being nervous. It once more made him wish to turn and pull the blonde close and prove that there is no need to be concerned.
Alfarinn waited until the water had thoroughly rinsed his hair before turning around and finally pulling Thaddeus close to him.
"No, perhaps you could show me?" He smiled with feigned innocence pleased that something that he took for granted meant so much to Thaddeus. It was amazing to him that the Anantya enjoyed playing with his hair as much or more than Alfarinn enjoyed having it played with.

Thaddeus felt his eyes go wide, both at that sudden contact and at Alfarinn's playful suggestion, but this time he did not pause long before wrapping his arms around the other man's neck, pulling him down to meet his mouth in a searing kiss that he could only hope conveyed the intensity he felt. He could not seem to get close enough; every part of his body longed for the feel of Alfarinn's skin against his own, every inch of Alfarinn screamed to be touched, and he ran his hands over the other man's body as though he believed he could touch him everywhere at once.
He broke the kiss, sucking gently on the other man's lower lip, running his tongue lightly along it, just tasting him, part a tease and part a promise, before moving lower, ravishing the Evenhet's neck with his mouth. And lower, down the smooth plane of the other man's chest, kissing away the little drops of water on his skin, licking gently when his lips found a nipple, flicking with his tongue before bringing his mouth back up in a smooth dragging trail to the other man's ear. One hand now wound in Alfarinn's hair, the other on his hip, he pulled closer and it was all he could do not to moan at that aching pressure. Instead, he spoke, barely recognizing his own voice, low and shaky and nearly beyond control.
Does that give you a better idea?
He broke the kiss, sucking gently on the other man's lower lip, running his tongue lightly along it, just tasting him, part a tease and part a promise, before moving lower, ravishing the Evenhet's neck with his mouth. And lower, down the smooth plane of the other man's chest, kissing away the little drops of water on his skin, licking gently when his lips found a nipple, flicking with his tongue before bringing his mouth back up in a smooth dragging trail to the other man's ear. One hand now wound in Alfarinn's hair, the other on his hip, he pulled closer and it was all he could do not to moan at that aching pressure. Instead, he spoke, barely recognizing his own voice, low and shaky and nearly beyond control.

His faint smile was completely lost under the power of that kiss, far from complaining, he tightened his embrace and returned it with equal ferocity. Thaddeus's answer screamed loudly through his senses just as the blonde's lips set fire to his cool skin.
Alfarinn mused that he might have unleashed some unknown demon of passion with that question. His shy companion had vanished and he was being consumed by a tide of sensual touch and barely controlled desire. Swaying slightly from the unrestrained barrage of kisses, He fell backwards, leaning against the wall of the shower clinging desperately to Thaddeus, unwilling to let him go even for balance. When that warm mouth reached his ear, he moaned softly and arched his back in response, hands tightning in a vain effort to pull the blonde closer.
He felt close to collapse by the time Thaddeus paused to speak. Taking a moment to make sure his legs would support him, Alfarinn pushed himself upright and then turned his companion around. Pressing Thaddeus against the wall with his weight, he placed both hands either side of the blonde, before bending down to return the favor.
Alfarinn gave him a gentle reassuring kiss before moving down his jaw line with slow teasing kisses. He nibbled slightly on one ear before reaching his true destination which was the curve of Thaddeus's neck. This location he gave special attention, running his lips slowly down the water slicked skin, pressing gently then firmly, taking the occasional light nip before once more finding the Anantya's mouth with his own.
Eventually he turned away enough to whisper in Thaddeus's ear.
"It might have given me a vague idea."

Thaddeus let his eyes slip closed. He could feel the cold tile against his back, the smooth firm body pressed against him, holding him in place, and soon Thaddeus was sure this was the only thing keeping him from sliding helplessly to the floor.
He moved his fingertips lightly and slowly over Alfarinn's skin, his hips, his thighs, unhurried now as he surrendered completely to the other man's mouth over his own, returning the kiss softly. He sighed in contentment as the Evenhet trailed along his jaw line, smiled in pleasure when he nibbled at his ear, but when Alfarinn moved to his neck, he gripped the other man tightly, gasping and vulnerable. He tilted his head back, silently begging him not to stop, and was quite suddenly overcome by just how much he trusted this man.
He hadn't known he could do that, had not realized that he could be so utterly helpless and exposed to his very soul. He'd had no idea how very -completing- this feeling could be, how achingly sweet.
At the sensation of teeth scraping gently on his skin, he shivered, and his mind managed to form the semi coherent realization that this was only the beginning before Alfarinn's kiss undid him once again.
He let out a soft whimper of protest when Alfarinn broke the kiss, but he did not pull away, Thaddeus could still feel that reassuring weight against him, and the other man was speaking now, lips so close to his skin, and that was alright too. He even smiled at the sentiment.
He let his hand run slowly up the other man's back, over his shoulder, up to his cheekbone, which he stroked tenderly.
And this is only the beginning.
He turned his face toward Alfarinn's then, and lost himself completely to the kiss that followed.

Only the beginning...? Alfarinn had but a few seconds to ponder just what Thaddeus meant before he was caught up in another kiss. There was the obvious thing that this was the beginning for but somehow he doubted that was what his companion was referring to, at least not fully. The blonde underneath him had a mind that never rested and Alfarinn found that just as attractive as the rest of Thaddeus, probably more so.
He placed his hands on his companion's hips and looked searchingly into the grey eyes before leaning back down to continue his exploration.
Beginning back at Thaddeus's neck, he brought his hands up to glide along smooth shoulders. Alfarinn trailed his lips down the smooth expanse of chest, his fingers following lightly behind them. He spared a moment to give attention to one small nipple, placing his mouth around it and warming it with his tongue before brushing his cool hand over it as his lips moved on. Teasing and kissing his way slowly lower, Alfarinn knelt in front of the Anantya, hands once more on his companion's hips.
He placed a gentle kiss in the hollow of one hip before looking up at Thaddeus with a faint smile.
"Only the beginning? Was there something else you'd like me to start?"

Thaddeus held the other man's gaze, unsure of the question implied in his eyes and driven to distraction by those cool fingers on his hips, but he imagined he must have answered it when Alfarinn moved to kiss him again.
He realized as Alfarinn worked his way down his neck that he was biting his lip, rather hard in fact, one fang denting his skin, nearly drawing blood, and he wondered vaguely why he was doing that. That last semblance of inhibition was automatic for him, a certain amount of tension being a natural state for Thaddeus, but he was finding when he made that conscious effort to relax everything was that much more enjoyable. He traced light patterns on Alfarinn's shoulders as the other man moved lower, his mouth setting every nerve ending on fire and his hands following after to drink in that heat.
When cool fingers chased that warm mouth over his nipple even biting his lip again wasn't enough to keep him from moaning and arching into the other man's touch, and his mind finally figured out the futility of trying to prevent such things. Being vocally appreciative was a rather rare occurrence for Thaddeus, something he would not contrive and in some subconscious way fought against, and so his own voice sounded foreign in his ears, odd in the back of his throat as he gasped and shivered and moaned under the other man's kisses and caresses.
He opened his eyes when Alfarinn spoke, his touches gentle now, sending tingles up his spine, the kiss on his hip making him shiver. He reached out and cupped the other man's cheek in his hand, running his thumb over his lower lip as his mind raced to answer that question, to explain what he meant and what he thought, the words tripping over themselves and forming only one of any coherency.
Please...
Some part of his mind wondered at the fact that he was now near begging for an intimacy that he had never allowed, that no one had touched, before pushing the thought away as rather pointless under the circumstances, rather irrelevant considering how deeply different this was in the first place. Instead, he looked down at Alfarinn through heavy lidded eyes.
Please.

Thaddeus's murmurs of pleasure went like rivers of electricity up his spine, each one going straight through him, making him want to hear another. Kiss him there again, tease this place slowly with the tip of your tongue. He sighed contentedly, his lips pressed against a firm, exquisite abdomen a moment, simply enjoying the feel of the Anantya under his mouth and hands.
"Please..."
Alfarinn paused totally frozen by the simple word. Please...Thaddeus was willing to ask him for something? He was willing to need and want him. This proud man who always tried so desperately to be self reliant and solitary. Thaddeus was giving that up and its significance did not escape him. Far from finding this gratifying to his ego, Alfarinn found it humbling and deeply touching. Being given control was not a position of power but responsibility. He felt it most keenly at this moment with his companion warm and waiting under his hands. It was up to him to please Thaddeus certainly but also to let him know that it was ok to feel these things, to bring him forward without fear...to make him feel safe.
Alfarinn nodded and smiled slightly. Quietly he said.
"Of course."
Bending back down to his companion, he kissed him gently once more on his hip before slowly trailing his touches and licks inward. Alfarinn paused only momentarily before taking Thaddeus into his mouth and sucking gently, ever so gently at first.
