[ Sylvain doesn't even try to bite back an answering laugh, collapsing onto his side with a groan a moment later. He's close enough, however, that he can roll near enough to press a kiss to the back of Jesper's shoulder, where he's sprawled beside him.
He loves the sight of that smile. He can't help but return it, reaching out to flick a damp strand of hair off Jesper's forehead. ]
Have I told you how beautiful you are? Because I feel like I really need to. Although you've been excellent at making me forget just about every train of thought I've had tonight.
[ Jesper turns on his side facing Sylvain and immediately lifts a hand to his cheek, snuggling in close without a moment of hesitation. Perhaps other people aren't so affectionate in the afterglow, but Jesper loves contact. He slides his leg between Sylvain's legs and leans in to kiss him slowly, sweetly. His fingers caress through his hair much more gently than the rest of tonight. The sharp edge is off but the desire is far from gone. ]
Thank you, love. I could use a night free of my demons.
[ He won't be able to escape it forever, but he feels less afraid of being sucked back in as long as Sylvain's body is in the way. ]
[ Sylvain’s lis quirk faintly at that and he leans in to meet that kiss, slow and lazy now in sated bliss. His hand slides up to cup at the nape of Jesper’s neck, touch warm and gentle. It’s not often he has someone like this that he wants to linger and enjoy the afterglow with, so this is a delightful novelty and he intends to indulge it to the fullest. ]
Trust me, I understand. [ Another slow kiss before he rests his forehead against Jesper’s and smiles at him crookedly. ] We could all use one of those, every once in a while. And I’m happy to provide it, whenever you need one.
[ Jesper grins and kisses him again, running his hand down his bare back. He playfully pats his ass because he can, and they're both in a good mood.]
I plan on taking full advantage of you. Most of my lovers are in the Horizon and while that's lovely, and I look forward to fucking you there too, it's still nice to be in the flesh.
[ The Horizon is very fun in terms of what creatively you can come up with. Jesper has learned about a whole lot of toys and fun things that he's incorporated into his cabin, so he is always for fooling around. And it's far easier to clean up and there's never a need to stop really, unless you feel like it. But it's still not technically real.
Little does he know that Nocwich will open permanently and that will change, all that will mean is that he can try to have sex with Sylvain in the hot springs next time. ]
[ They really do need a redo of the Hot Springs Date, with way more sex this time. Sounds very relaxing. Eventually.
But for now, he just laughs and nips playfully at Jesper’s shoulder, teeth scraping lightly against the warm skin before he drops a kiss on the same spot. ]
In that case, I can’t wait to be taken advantage of in all the best ways. And return the favor in kind. I guess I really did luck out, to land in the same city, hmm? [ He’s teasing him, but that doesn’t make the words untrue. ]
[ Jesper's breath catches just a little at the bite, he does really love those, and then he's chuckling. ]
Eh, we would've ended up here no matter where we were. As if I could resist a sassy redhead built like the dream of any man-lover.
[ They still would have met at Nocwich no doubt, Jesper would have been drawn to him no matter what, and then just seduced him in the Horizon instead. He knows himself. It's always a matter of time when he sees someone he wants, within reason. He does have an instinct for who he can and cannot have. ]
[ There’s the faintest hint of a flush that creeps up the back of his neck. It’s still such a novel feeling, to be wanted for himself here. He could count on his fingers the number of times that had happened back home. And then still probably have fingers left over to spare. ]
I’m pretty sure I’m the lucky one, since you apparently find redheads irresistible. [ His smirk is amused as he teases him. ] I’ve never been so happy not to have been born a blond. The sassy, though… Yeah, that’s just a hazard of me, I’m afraid.
Well I like them all, but I do have a weakness for redheads. Redheads, dominant women, and sad soft boys.
[ Jesper wouldn't say he has a type though, he really just likes who he likes, but he'd be lying if he said he doesn't know the things that get to him the most. Sad soft boys being the particular worst. Wylan was two out of three! No wonder he was putty in the merchling's hands. ]
But I would have wanted you whatever the hair color, love. I might adore handsome faces, but I like personalities more than anything else.
[ Jesper is arguably oversexed and he openly admires the beautiful people around them, but he's never had sex with a boring person in his life. He wouldn't even be attracted to them if they had the prettiest face and nothing in their head. No fun! ]
[ That gets a wry chuckle from him, however, even as he lets his legs tangle with Jesper’s, his lips slowly trailing along one bared shoulder as he soaks in the warm affection. ]
Oh, well, in that case, I may have to take it back. Apparently your taste is questionable after all. [ He’s laughing though as he gives Jesper a playful wink. ] Although as far as weaknesses go, those are good ones to have.
[ He even shares some of them. Well, not the redheaded part, but the rest? ]
I do have questionable taste, but it's always the interesting kind.
[ Jesper likes bad boys and bad girls too, he's been attracted to many people he probably shouldn't. Really who even knows what works for him at the end of the day. What matters is who he does have in his bed, and right now it's Sylvain. He grins though and steals a kiss from him, playfully biting his lip and tugging on it afterward. ]
I also love threesomes, so if you ever want to invite someone, I am a permanent yes. You don't even have to ask me, just bring them.
[ Jesper laughs with him because he is absolutely shameless but it's working for both of them so he has no reason to be worried about it. He caresses fingers through his hair. ]
Not yet, although I did really wow him with my fighting skills on our quest, so I was hoping that would earn me some points. I'm not really a planner, I was waiting for my in.
[ Jesper's seductions can take anywhere between ten minutes and ten months. He has no problem playing long games with some people. It's not his usual way, but he does love a challenge. There's no harm in aiming high! Jesper never takes easy bets, always hard ones. ]
It is fair, we probably should try to get him to hook up with one of us separately before sliding that idea in there.
Claude likes a challenge. [ Sylvain just smirks as he rests against the other man, comfortable. ] Give him a puzzle to solve, a mystery to unravel, and you’ll have his undivided attention.
[ A pause, before he snickers, recalling their time in Nocwich. ] Or you just dare him. He does seem to have a weakness for those.
[ Which he still found a little surprising, honestly. Not that he was complaining. ]
I wish. [ Is that a note of wistfulness in his tone? It’s hard to tell, and he’s back to chuckling a moment later anyway, brushing any of that away. ]
There were some students at the Academy that I considered very much off limits and Claude was certainly one of them. He ever tell you he’s basically a prince? Or he would be, if the Alliance did things like rulers instead of governing by a council. His House heads it, though, and he’s the heir.
…Of course there was never any harm in flirting. And here… well. Politics and old traditions don’t really apply here anyway.
I know he was high-ranking, he told me about the Crests. It was very I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
[ And now that Sylvain has seen that Jesper can literally melt the clothes off him and fix them back up in a second, he knows what the 'show me yours' was in that conversation. He does know a thing or two about class differences, being the scoundrel who moved into the fanciest merchant house in Ketterdam. ]
Leave all your world's baggage where it is, Sylvain. It doesn't apply here.
[ He doesn’t deny there’s baggage. In fact, the dry note to his answering chuckle hints at just how much their might be. But he leans into that touch, eyes sliding closed as he just soaks up the contact for a moment. And then he leans in to kiss Jesper once more, slow and deep.
And maybe just a little needy. ]
I’m not so sure it’s that easy. But I’ll take it into consideration. [ Lips quirk in amusement as he nips at Jesper’s lip. ] But in that case, what’s stopped you?
Nothing stops me. I haven't felt the mood shift yet, I'm not in a hurry.
[ Jesper's in tune with how people look at him. When he notices that change, then he'll do something about it. Sylvain and him were always on this tune together though. They were only a matter of time. He senses that shift, for example, when Sylvain became a little needier, and he kisses him intently. His hand slides down the front of Sylvain's bare chest, down down down, and playfully runs up his fingers toward Sylvain's cock. ]
Round three with you, though, I'm in a hurry for that. How about it?
[ Sylvain just laughs, not bothering to hide the shiver that sweeps through him at Jesper’s touch, body already reacting.
He reaches out, hands grasping again as he rolls to press closer, grin turning sly and pleased. The kiss he drops on Jesper’s lips time has more intent behind it than just idle, lazy affection. ]
Mmm. I can be persuaded…
[ …As if he doesn’t set out to do his own persuading a breath later. They still had plenty of hours to fill with distraction yet. ]
