Dubious Purchase

[ochitashinigami]

Who: Eric Slingby and Alan Humphries
When: Monday, April 16th
Where: Eric's starter apartment, that Alan is sharing
Summary: Eric has purchased Grell's shoes from William. Whether he's adventureous or just plain bored is hard to tell.
Warnings: Sexy shoes, sexual tension, and well... anything else. Will update is necessary. WOOPS HAS TURNED INTO SEXYTIMES! Warning!


Eric examines the bright red boots with the absurd heels. Clearly, they're made for the sexual gratification of the person wearing them, or the person looking at the person wearing them. They're not for walking.

He thinks for a moment what acts the shoes may have been a part of with it's previous owner and his... roommate. He pushes the thought from his mind.

Curiosity nags at the back of his mind. With a smirk, he takes off his pants and black loafers, and sets them aside. He slides his leg into the shoe. The shoe is a bit long to fit his foot, and it's tight over his calf, but he can wear them reasonably. He slips on the other one, looking down and studying the effect.

He chuckles to himself, and tries to stand.

There are a few things one learns when dealing with Eric Slingby. In fact, Alan is certain he could write a book on how to look after Eric and those similar to him. And one of those things was if it was quiet for an extended period of time then something was most certainly going on. The kind of something that could lead to trouble and you won't like.

He stepped from the kitchen having just taken a tray of cookies from the oven. Hearing that chuckle he arched a brow. Most assuredly he was up to something. His fingers leave the tie at his waist as he gets closer.

"What on earth are you doing?" And then he's just there and he can see but there's a delay, a disconnect between what he sees and what is logical...

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric's in his briefs and shirttails and well... the boots. But he looks more amused than surprised when he sees his friend there. He's on his feet now, and he looks down at his legs and back up at Alan.]

They were Grell's. I think he and William had a fight and William was selling them. Isn't it hilarious?

[amongthethorns]

[He's trying his dead level best not to burst with laughter but it's right there. Alan gives a shake of his head.]

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous... What in the world possessed you to put them on? They can't possibly be comfortable. I beat you can't even take a step in those things.

[That might have been a bit of a challenge if one went by his tone and the slight twitch of his lips.]

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric raises his eyebrows. The corner of his mouth twitches in a near smirk.]

You bet me, huh?

[amongthethorns]

I do. If you can walk from here into the kitchen touch the fridge and make it back here to me you win. If you can't, if you stumble or fall even slightly; I win.

[He adjusts his glasses.]

Prize will be determined by the winner.

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric raises his eyebrows and grins. Alan doesn't get playful all that often. He likes it, and his heart feels warm as he sees Alan smile.]

The kitchen?

[He takes a step towards Alan. Wah, all right, this is worse than he thought.]

2/2

[ochitashinigami]

You really want to bet me?

[He smirks, trying to keep his swagger. Damn, this is hard.]

I could think of all kinds of things for when I...

[And he's down. His ankle turns and he over-corrects and lurches forward, falling in Alan's direction. In fact, the only thing breaking his fall IS Alan. He catches Alan around the shoulders and for a moment they're nose to nose.]

[amongthethorns]

Mhm! Our kitchen. I'm sure you can make it there...

[Only he's no sure at all. Really Eric you shouldn't always dive into things head fist.]

I just did, didn't I? When have I ever done something when I didn't want to?

2/2

[amongthethorns]

Oh really?

[And then Eric pitches forward and he finds himself reaching out to grip him - as if he could stop his fall by grabbing him. There's not way he can really but he does his best.

His breath catches slightly just from how close they are like this. It's a common enough thing that he shouldn't react this way but always... always every time they were this close his breathing and pulse reacted.]

[ochitashinigami]

[And, Eric is subject to the completely unfamiliar feeling of his cheeks getting hot and going bright red. He freezes, just staring into Alan's face. Pain shoots up his ankle, but he hardly notices.

After a moment, he manages to speak.]

I... I'm sorry...

[But he doesn't move. His arms stay firm around Alan.]

[amongthethorns]

And just like that you lost the bet. I told you.

[He licks at his own lower lip before biting it gently. He holds Eric tighter.]

Are you okay?

[He shakes his head and leans in brushing his forehead against Eric's, nose to nose.]

Don't apologize. I should have told you to take those heels off the instant I saw you in them. You don't know how to walk in them, obviously.

[ochitashinigami]

[Alan licking his lips is distracting. Bet? What?

He clears his throat.

The nuzzle is nice. He leans into it, trying to regain some of his composure.]

I lost? I guess I'm yours then.

[Nope... that didn't help.]

[amongthethorns]

You didn't even manage a step.

[His eyes widen slightly and he takes in a breath, a sharp inhale. In on the tip of his tongue to make him explain that; to clarify it so he isn't left to take it in such a misleading way like he wants to.

He swallows hard before clearing his throat.]

Of course you are.

[ochitashinigami]

I suppose I am.

[Nope, still dizzy.]

Now what?

[amongthethorns]

[He laughs softly.]

I didn't expect to win, especially not so easily.

[Now what indeed. Well, he always did want Eric to do something and if he did it like this there'd be no guilt right?]

How about a kiss? That'll work as a prize right?

[ochitashinigami]

A kiss. [There goes the blood in his cheeks again.]

Hey now, who's reward is this?

[amongthethorns]

Is that not enough?

[Reaching he'll touch his cheek feeling for fever.]

It's mine obviously. Was that what you were going to ask for?

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric's cheeks are warm with the flush, but he's not feverish. He rolls his face into Alan's hand.]

I never thought it would be you who would ask me to be kissed.

[amongthethorns]

[Well so long as there's no fever. He cups a hand to his cheek, thumb trailing along his cheekbone.]

You don't have to if you don't want to. It was just a game after all.

[He gives a little laugh, his cheeks taking on a faint pink tint.]

Or are you saying I should ask someone else?

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric's heart is beating so fast now, that he's sure Alan must be able to feel it, even hear it!

How many times has he wanted to? How many times has he TRIED. And now, here's Alan in his arms, completely unexpected, asking to be kissed.

For some reason, he suddenly feels terrified.]

[amongthethorns]

Is it really such a bad thing to ask?

[He can feel the way his pulse jumps, the way it speeds up. Why did he feel this way? Did he ask for too much? Great now he was second guessing himself.]

Eric, really it's fine you don't have to kiss me if you don't want to. It was just a game, a way to amuse ourselves.

[ochitashinigami]

No no... [He answers too quickly.]

It's not bad. I just didn't think...

[He takes a long, shaking breath and leans in.

He's thought about this... dreamed about this... He's even tried it when he was drunk and could laugh it off as a joke... pretend it wasn't real but...

With a last breath he leans in and find his lips on Alan's.]

[amongthethorns]

You didn't think?

[Could you be more confusing Eric? Honestly. It's a wonder Alan hasn't pulled all his hair out just yet. His breath catches slightly when the other leans in. His eyes drift closed and he presses his lips against Eric's.

His heart is racing so fast it's skipped a few beats here and there but he doesn't care. Those lips are on his and every other thought is gone - Eric is kissing him. The hand against his back fists in his coattails and his arm moves to wrap about his neck.]

[ochitashinigami]

[The contact is like an electric shock. One hand creeps up Alan's neck and strokes through his hair, never breaking the kiss.

He lingers, as if he'd never want to stop.]

[amongthethorns]

[He shivers slightly before pressing himself firmly against Eric's chest, seeking to get closer enough if they're as close as they can really get like this.

Maybe he really should have let him just have his way with kissing him while he was drunk. This was amazing and here he'd been making them both wait so long for this.]
