[foolmetwice]

[another yawn, and Mars rolls over onto his back, stretching his arms above his head like a lazy cat]

Li'l too comfortable, really.

[if there is such a thing!!]

. . . where are we?

[artisticliberty]

[watching him stretch, pleased, and he curls closer until he's pressed along mars's side]

I'm not certain. I think it just a room... somewhere to rest and relax. You could take a bath if you like.

[foolmetwice]

[when he brings is arm down, it drapes itself across Fox's shoulders. and for some reason, he feels like that is perfectly okay]

Don't need a bath. . . maybe another nap, though.

[he's teasing]

[artisticliberty]

[mars's arm over his shoulders also seems to perfectly suit fox, and he shifts comfortably, resting his head on mars's shoulder while his hand finds its way to his chest, idly rubbing the fabric between his fingers]

Do you want to rest your head in my lap again?

[foolmetwice]

[. . . huffs an amused noise, raking his fingers through Fox's hair]

I think you're trying to spoil me.

[artisticliberty]

[he lets out a low hum, deep in his chest, and tilts his head into that]

I like spoiling you. You need to be spoiled every now and again.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . pffft. snorts a bit]

I don't know about that.

[artisticliberty]

It's true. You carry so much weight on your shoulders, so much tension coiled up inside of you, ready to spring. It takes every ounce of willpower I have not to take you apart...

[presses a soft kiss to mars's neck]

So, I spoil you.

[foolmetwice]

[ah. . .]

[stiffens a little bit, but the atmosphere is so cozy and soft and warm that any spike of uncertainty or anxiety that would accompany that movement stays buried in his heart, where it belongs]

[. . .]

[tilts his head a little bit. . . to allow more access to his neck]

. . . what's that mean? "Take me apart?"

[artisticliberty]

[obligingly fox kisses a path up to mars's jawline, letting out a warm sigh against his skin]

It means I want to do things for you that make you feel like you can let go with me, so you can let go of every worry that holds you down, so you can relax and be yourself without feeling like you need to hide.

[finds mars's earlobe and gently tugs it between his teeth]

It means I want to make love to you until you forget your own name.

[foolmetwice]

[oh my god]

[Mars shivers, a chill coursing down his spine, heat flooding to his cheeks]

[foolmetwice]

[but. . .]

[he does not seem opposed. he swallows thickly, tilting his head so Fox can nibble at his ears, eyes fluttering as his fingers continue to scrape across Fox's scalp]

. . . that's awfully forward of you, Fox.

[artisticliberty]

Forgive me. I cannot find it in me to be coy.

[fox shivers and wets his lips before murmuring directly into mars's ear]

I want... I want to shelter you, take care of you, cherish you, love you, hold you in my arms as you sleep and kiss every nightmare away. I know my desires are selfish, but... I cannot stop myself from wanting.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . huffs a little, mouth twitching]

You don't do things halfway, do you. . .?

[a breathless laugh]

I'm really fussy, you know.

[artisticliberty]

[chuckles, fond]

I know. One would have to be oblivious to have not noticed how fussy you can be.

[foolmetwice]

Because I'm fussy is the reason I've held back. I don't want to. . . overwhelm myself. Or dump all of my issues on other people.

[tugs gently at Fox's hair]

[. . .]

[and then tilts his chin up, mouth pressed against Fox's ear as he mutters]

You wanna know a secret, though. . .?

[artisticliberty]

[sucks in a breath and curls his fingers in mars's shirt]

Tell me.

[foolmetwice]

[presses a kiss against the spot just below Fox's ear, purposefully slow and warm. when he pulls away, he breathes out--]

My name is Ren.

[his words are breathless, rough as though filtered through smoke]

. . . try and make me forget it.

/2

[artisticliberty]

[his eyes hood and he licks his lips, as if already tasting mars on them]

... Ren.

[it's barely audible, just above a whisper, and fox lets out an amused huff]

[artisticliberty]

[and he winds his arms around mars--no, ren's shoulders and pulls him into a kiss, equal parts soft and exploratory, taking his time with it]

[foolmetwice]

[slides his arms around Fox's back in return, arching into him eagerly and wantingly, returning the kiss with everything he's got. Fox takes his time, but Mars attempts to escalate immediately]

[artisticliberty]

[it's not as if fox is going to say no to escalation. he does let out a muffled groan into mars's mouth, feeling heat spread through him like wildfire, and he tangles his fingers in mars's hair, gently tugging but not in protest]

[foolmetwice]

[drinks in that moan, a pleased noise rumbling in the back of his throat like a purr. one hand fists into the back of Fox's shirt, tugging it up so it rides up in the back, exposing skin that Mars is more than eager to explore with his fingers]

[artisticliberty]

[fox's skin feels hot, oversensitive when mars' fingers drag up his spine and he has to break the kiss to let out a moan, his cheeks flushed red. he had anticipated being the one to make mars lose his cool, but right now between the kissing and the touching, fox feels like he's about to melt]

Ren--

[foolmetwice]

[good. because as fussy as Mars is, he likes it when he's the one calling the shots]

[his mouth curves into a grin, hand continuing to glide up Fox's spine until his shirt is near his shoulders. and it's at that point that he draws back and tries to tug said shirt right off over Fox's head]
