I don't want it if you'll use magic. [ Which is what the shortcut lacked in appeal as he considered doing it himself. That, and actually sitting down to make a hand-painted version isn't something he fancies trying. So he firmly says, ] You'd have to repaint it yourself for it to hold any value.
[ Slumping in the pillows, he opens an arm for Billy and tries not to look too pleased with how tonight is turning out. Mostly, he succeeds because of the subject matter giving him something to complain about.
If I hand paint you anything, Loki, I'm going to expect a really good thank you in return.
[Billy watches him for a moment before shifting to lie against him, arm sliding around Loki's waist loosely. Part of this still feels unreal... like he can't believe he actually did this with Loki.
With anybody, to be honest. But it's been like that with every date or kiss so far.
Tonight hadn't been bad though, not at all, even with the rough patches.]
[ His touch smooths over the arm around his waist, fingers brushing idly through Billy's hair as they settle in a nest of soft blankets. Through it all, Loki's attention remains pleasantly buzzed from being here with someone who means so much to him, even if he never wants to admit it. If he was strong enough to stay away it would undoubtedly be better for Billy, for everyone, that hasn't changed by coming to Eudio and never will; Loki's guilt is a very real leaden weight in the pit of his stomach, never lightening. And yet he thinks he might have a terribly inconvenient crush that impairs all logic and defies his reason, despite that. Ah.
Ducking his chin, he pecks him on the lips and relishes the soft warm press while it lasts. ]
You'll have to start telling me what you want to do in bed, Billy.
[ And not just for the sake of letting him repay any Pez-related debts. The purr in his voice implies it might just be a good idea in general. ]
[He laughs a little at that because really, Loki? A 'thank you' could have just been dinner for a few nights for all his hard work. Unless he just means in general.
... And then he'll have to debate that a little bit. Sleeping with Loki had been so far from being on the agenda. Doing anything with Loki really had been actually.
Now they had this thing and it was actually not bad. It was nice.]
So you want to keep doing this?
[He thinks that's a fair question... though probably one with an obvious answer. He shrugs idly.]
I don't know. I might have to think about that one... And you know you can tell me if there's anything you'd like to try too, right?
What wow? No wow. Average wow-ing appropriate, why wouldn't I want you?
[ Scoffing lightly, all the possible scenarios run through his head in a blur and he simply grins, wolfish and greedy as a roaming hand slides down to squeeze a pert ass. The look eases while he hums thoughtfully and raps his fingers on Billy's hip, walking them higher. ]
I'll tell you if anything in particular pops up.
[ Heh. Puns aside, he has more than a few ideas. ]
[ Which is true, it's significantly difficult to make sex for Loki more than a passing recreation. Billy knows how far to let Loki push him, where the unspecified boundaries need to be and so on. Loki trusts him to.
He ruffles the back of those brunette locks as he laughs, slinging his arm around him in a hug. ]
Mmm ... You looked especially memorable on my lap, I won't deny it.
[ Which is to say he hasn't had many at all (one, to be honest). Loki's grin returns at the flattery and he gives a token wriggle away from the touches tickling up his side, only that allows him to press against Billy's warmth a bit more. Oh, no, how terrible. ]
[ He might not think he's being sweet with all this honesty, but it's likely unavoidable. The kiss against his cheek helps him settle, snorting as he tries to hold in a laugh and can't help a singsong voice when he looks pleased with being fussed over. ]
It's hard to remember you have to be honest right now...
[It's just a quiet observation. When Loki says stuff like that -- it's hard to remember there's at least a bit of truth to it, that Billy ever could be worth remembering in the scheme of things.
It's hard to remember, but it's also hard to not enjoy hearing.
He curls closer to Loki, presses a kiss against his chest -- and probably ruins it with another playful nudge at Loki's side.]
Gross. You're gross, Kaplan ... ! The places your mind goes while you're in bed with me are uncharted horrors.
[ Barking out a laugh, he drags the covers up to cover over Billy's face and rolls away on his side, the duvet slipping away to reveal the long length of Loki's pale, mildly scarred back. ]
[ A quiet eep leaves him as gentle fingertips dance along his back, the touches filtering over numb, dead nerve-endings to the live surrounding skin in a way that makes him wriggle and tip a head back on Billy's shoulder. ]
Do you need some help with the 'sort of'? I'm a good listener.
[ He kisses underneath Billy's jaw, having slid down in the bed far enough to leave the other boy the tallest for once. ]
[He tips his head back at the kiss, sliding an arm back around Loki when he moves back close.]
Actually-- I think it's okay, Loki. [And he means that.]
Hearing about the future from you and Tommy... I mean, it wasn't all good, but it's left me kind of-- hopeful. I feel like maybe things might be okay, whatever happens. [He stops Mother in the end. He's not a total failure. It's... good to know. He lifts a hand to idly push through Loki's hair.]
And things aren't bad here either. [Fights with Teddy aside, but that would sort itself out one way or another.]
[ A hand slides up the arm around his middle, hugging and wriggling back against Billy to get comfortable. They're different creatures, he and Billy, the latter finding comfort in his written future (which is admittedly a good one) whereas Loki inwardly balks at the thought of there not being an uncertain outcome to affect. ]
Things are wonderful here, I think that's what is wanted. It would be nice if this really was a holiday dimension, somewhere to dive in and take a load off from reality. I should note the address down in case I forget when we leave.
Mm, might not be a bad idea. I don't think I'd actually mind coming back here occasionally... [But it did make him wonder what they'll remember, what they'll forget when they go home. He hopes not a lot.]
Either way, we get to enjoy it for a little while at least, I guess. [You know, if things didn't go all crazy and weird. Tipping his head down, he brushed a kiss over Loki's shoulder.]
Although, we probably filled up a bit of our quota tonight...
[ He'd like to go out and find something in the city, unearth some dirty secrets and maybe find leverage over more of the corrupted that the nice-y nice police force can't cope with. Go to a club and dance until he loses his breath after hours and hours under hot electric lights ...
The kiss on his shoulder settles Loki in place, closing his eyes. Yes, he prefers to be here, strangely enough thrilled as it is. ]
We can top it up tomorrow, Bright Eyes, if you're in the mood.
[ Like a wolf keeping his jaws safely clamped shut around the rabbit in his bed, albeit Billy's, Loki resolves not to push him into anything whether accidentally or otherwise, never mind his energy levels. He pets the arm around his middle and isn't sure which of them he seeks to reassure with the touch. ]
[Unearthing secrets... isn't something that Billy would be against actually. Finding out more about this place, about what's going on--
But right now? He's kind of too comfortable to move. He smiles a bit at that. He'll take 'Bright Eyes' over dear any day.]
Your chances are pretty good.
[Billy settles a bit, sticks close to Loki because it's nice to have another body to curl around and he doesn't seem to be protesting it, he lets his eyes drift shut.]

[With likely way more experience than him, he's sure. But that line of thought is broken when there's a hand on his ass and that grin--
It earns Loki a playful nudge to the side and Billy's head going back down to rest against his chest.]
You're terrible. [And that's a terrible pun too.]
