[Cloud learning to comfort... Character development. That may vanish instantaneously next week when nothing is urging him to be affectionate.
It doesn't matter, Jason tilts his head a little into the hand. Thank you... he's comforted.]
I know. [Thoughtfully quiet.] You think there's a mole among them? Or maybe... one of them has sort of... sorted themselves out? Unless one of us stole them somehow.
... I think... [ he looks away, pensive, softly petting jason's face with a thumb. yeah none of this is going to be happening next week. ] It could be one of us. Could be the Nightman fucking with us. But. That thing Sheila's group found, it's a journal. It doesn't just talk about contracts. Mentions meeting the rest of the staff. Seven names dropped. Obviously, they think Aquarius wrote it, since theirs isn't in there.
They are acting like other people. Actors, remember? [ he was trying to hint so he didn't spell it out because he's paranoid, but it just made him too subtle. very funny. ] Whatever the reason, they can't drop it. Not really, and not fully. Which means it's got something to do with their contract.
That's why it's so weird to give us access to their rooms. Like spelling it out for as many people as possible who might not have gotten memories or noticed.
I-- [He lets Cloud finish.] I get it. I get that. They're acting like other people, but I didn't think it was... like... other people? I thought it was just, you know. Hotel staff. Their "jobs."
[He sighs.]
Well, maybe whoever or whatever did this is actually doing us a favor.
... Yeah, well. That's what I meant by weird. [ Other people. but he shakes his head ] No way to tell what the goal was with us outside of trying to make what's happening with the staff more obvious. Not necessarily a bad thing, but...
[ he trails off and just. tugs at jason's shirt a little. why does he still want to kiss this dumbass so bad goddamn what is with this week ]
Wouldn't go shouting it out to the rooftops, either.
[Cloud, your tastes in this moment are bad.] I know. I don't plan on it. [Cloud, have you not realized you're like one of the only people Jason will talk about these things to? Sheesh.
He sticks his hands under the back of Cloud's shirt because he just wants to feel some skin for some reason. But it also keeps Cloud still so he can lean in and smooch him.
[ he has not realized it he's stupid, but it doesn't matter because he's distracted when jason shoves his hands in the back of his shirt? his back curves a bit reflexively and he makes a little :o face that doesn't last very long because jason is kissing him.
so obviously he has to smooch back?? what plot. despite the surprise he's very eager, grasping at jason's bicep to hold him in place. like he's gonna go?? anywhere??? when he's holding onto cloud??? it's fine. ]
[Well, goodbye plot. The plot is gone. They at least talked about a good bit of it before being thoroughly distracted by horny feelings.
Don't kiss him back, hugh!! He drags his nails and hands up the curve of the back, sorry for hiking the shirt all up. Even pulling away so they can breathe for a few seconds, he doesn't really? want to? So Cloud keeps getting spots of kisses over and over.]
Want me to stop?
[He says this almost like he is just wanting to hear Cloud tell him no. :)]
[ day two of affection like this means cloud is still a bit of a flustered mess over like. all of it. so enjoy that blush I guess. horrid.
horrid that he likes the nails and isn't even remotely bothered by that either, sneaking his one hand up Jason's shirt over his abs in retaliation. or just to touch. both are true. ]
... No. [ it's hesitant because he's a little aware Jason just wanted him to say no, and that's embarrassing, not because he has real reservations. I wish he did. ] You can... We ...
[ he shakes his head a little because he's too flustered by saying it so instead Jason just gets another kiss. perfect. nailed it. ]
[It's so horrible that Jason thinks the flustering is cute in a bullying way. Cloud can touch his abs. Cloud, your type.]
We...?
[Now he's just being mean, trying to make Cloud continue to be flustered. He's a big boy, so all he has to do is start moving forward to bully Cloud backward. Might as well throw the towel in now and admit they are about to fuck since Jason is going to the bed.
He keeps bringing his hands up, taking the shirt along. Cloud is going to have to raise his arms because he really is just taking it off.]
[ <3 if men aren't tall and buff they are worthless <3
anyway, he could stand his ground if he really wanted to? he does not want to. unfortunately. so instead he moves backwards with jason while lifting his arms up to help jason undress him faster. he could do it himself but this is what's happening now. ]
I've got a bed. [ he's tilted his chin up in defiance, like the trailed off we was a challenge he must absolutely meet. it does nothing to make him look less blushy blushy. dichotomy of bottoms. ] Pretty sure you've noticed.
[ because he's leading them there. cloud doesn't entirely wait until the back of his knees hit the mattress to take hold of jason's collar with both hands as a mini show of stupid SOLDIER force and drag him down with him. you're not that big and solid, bitch, ]
You do have a bed. It'd look a lot better with you on it.
[Which he is forcing Cloud toward for very clear intentions, but at least a) they are clear, and b) he asked and Cloud gave consent. He probably stole these moves from Dick.
The shirt gets tossed on the floor. He's more than ready to start touching on Cloud, but Cloud grabs him and manhandles him on the bed. Hate how much this is attractive to Jason. And it's unfortunate he starts trying to play fight for dominance even if what he's mostly attempting to do is kiss and bite other parts of Cloud that aren't just his mouth.]
[ the FACE cloud makes at that line is pure judgment, i'm sorry, that was so bad ]
You get that one off a dating playbook or a bad porno? Be honest.
[ they're already on the bed by the time he responds to it, so it absolutely looks like it worked, but just know. it did not. it's unfortunate that jason wants to play fight for dominance because cloud is there for it? he tries to kiss and bite back but it is a fairly unfair fight, in that cloud is shirtless and jason isn't. so he has to make things fair by tugging at jason's shirt himself. off, please. thank you. it is entirely for fairness and no other reason. ]
Older brother. [Is this in bad tastes to say when you're rolling around in bed with a person you're about to have sex with? WELL, IT'S TRUE.] And before you say anything: he gets laid all the time, so whatever dumbass things he says must be working.
[He lifts his arms when he pauses to give Cloud some leeway by letting the shirt come off. For no reason other than fairness. Does it stop him from jumping Cloud again? No. It doesn't.
If Cloud wanted to touch him that's too bad, he is going to try to pin Cloud by the wrists. "Try."]
Either he pulls it off better, or he sleeps with people who are desperate.
[ he'll give both options? but also, stop talking about dick grayson in bed. both of you.
jason's big and cloud doesn't expect it (because he was distracted by jason being shirtless, don't @ him), so that try is pretty successful. fucking rude? he looks tense and wary for a second after it happens, rolling his shoulders like he's considering fighting the hold. not entirely certain he likes this position, to be honest? but he doesn't try to flip them around or anything like that yet, choosing instead to take a breath to relax before he looks up at jason with half-lidded eyes. it's a pensive kind of stare. ]
What's with this?
[ he might not like the feeling of being trapped that much but he likes the view so he's giving it a chance. once again. no @ him. ]
[Jason can feel the tension in the arms he's holding, and he doesn't blame Cloud in the slightest for it. He takes the few seconds of doing it to kiss Cloud hard and deep one good time, and then he slides his hands away from the wrists.
There are some things he doesn't exactly enjoy, and while he's feisty with Cloud, he wouldn't do anything to make Cloud uncomfortable. He'd be a hypocrite.
He places a hand on Cloud's side and uses the thumb to stroke the front. This time! He kisses Cloud a little more tenderly than he'd ever admit he does.]
[ very stupid of him to look a little surprised when jason lets go after the kiss (which, for the record, cloud absolutely bit him during because it felt like the thing to do), but he does. it doesn't last long before he's immediately moving his arms from that position to wrap one around jason's shoulders to keep him there. like he thinks jason noticing him being uncomfortable for two seconds will draw him off entirely.
of course it was a very stupid reflex, considering the next move was another kiss, but it happened and it's too late. he likes feisty? he expects feisty? the slight tenderness isn't unwanted, though, and he matches that energy too. ignore that he looks more flustered after that than he did at the hard and deep kiss.
affection is embarrassing. it does not stop him from raising his free hand to pet jason's face after, cupping it. ]
... Hey. [ he doesn't know how to say "i was fine" without sounding dismissive, so. hey it is. like a dumbass. ]
[He bumps at the palm of the hand gently with his face, and then he sort of nuzzles it. Maybe like an apology. He kisses the concern on Cloud's face away, or tries.]
I'm good. I get it.
[The apprehension at first. He takes Cloud's forearm, but this time doesn't pin it down. Instead, he coaxes the hand to move down his neck and over his shoulder.]
[ he hums at that. always funny to have jason get things cloud isn't even sure he gets about himself. but the concern is gone and replaced with a wry smirk pretty easily ]
Kinda what I was planning to do already. [ he trails from the shoulder to Jason's arm, squeezing it before he moves to bite at Jason's jawline, then neck? they're not harsh bites or even anything that'll leave marks (yet. hateful) and it's maybe not the touch Jason meant but it's a touch! yay ]
[He'd be a liar if he said he didn't like the smirk or the sass on Cloud. Unfortunate.
Cloud is free to touch him since he asked for it anyway. He curls one hand under Cloud's lower back, resting it there while Cloud bites him. They aren't harsh, but they feel good, and he tips his head to give Cloud more space like a ho.
But he pulls up with his hand, notching their hips together, and then he flips them so he can recline on his back, and Cloud can be above him.
Since, you know, Cloud can't touch him very well if he's squished under his broad chest. He smirks about it.]
[ jason stop surprising him for two seconds challenge? the change in position means his hand moves to catch himself on said broad chest, raising an eyebrow at jason's stupid smirk. he kind of hates that he found that entire thing kind of hot. including the stupid smirk. ]
Could've just said you want me to do all the work.
[ this is not what jason reclining means, but it's what cloud is assigning it to mean to be a little shit. he spreads his hands over jason's stupid pecs, digging his fingers in a little before he bends to go back to what he was doing. he will never admit that it is kind of easier from being sat upon him.
or, reiterating, that he likes this position a lot more. he refuses to think about it, he's busy going down the expense of jason's neck with kisses and bites and groping at his chest ]
HATE he likes the fingers, but whatever. He has a very love-hate relationship with being rough, don't think about it too much.] Maybe I just like seeing you enjoy yourself better. [Liking Cloud being on top because Cloud seems to like it more. So it's hotter. They're both insufferable.
He coaxes Cloud by kneading the bare waist with his hands, and he tips his head back to give Cloud more room to work. He could at least resist a little. No, he will not. The kisses get hums. The bites? Get throaty, pleased grunts.]
