Takatora & Basco, cellphone wars [NSFW]

[a_divine_island]

[It's 7-something in the morning and when Takatora's ringtone starts up again it signals the fifth phone call he's already taken since waking up. Not that that sort of thing is a concern to him; it's part of his job to be informed of events and handle any necessarily issues or authorisations that crop up.

It wouldn't be very professional to take his calls from his bed so he's at the desk in his bedroom, fully clothed, if somewhat more casually than usual, considering a few more shirt buttons are open than one would expect. It was adequate enough at the time and that's all the matters.

Nobody is going to see currently except for Basco.

Ah, yes. Basco. He had done... that again last night. Wine had been involved.

Perhaps he'll simply realise how busy Takatora is and see himself quietly out?

...As if. Meanwhile-- ]

That wasn't in the original draft of the contract I read, and I hadn't agreed to any alterations. Have it sent to my home so that I can inspect it-

[And he is back to being serious again. Of course. But Basco does laugh it off and stretches himself onto the bed, just avoiding the part where he did come on the sheets. Surely someone will clean that up. But rolling around being used and naked for most of the morning, and a bit from the night before, Basco definitely needed a moment to clean himself up.]

I'm using your shower. You want to join or are you going to rest and feel the guilt of irresponsibility crushing down on you?

[a_divine_island]

You make it sound unreasonable to feel guilt for abandoning work to engage in sex.

[It is not unreasonable, Basco; it is NORMAL.

And won't twenty minutes in the shower just lead to the same again? Have a suspicious look that says basically that.]

[trollininthedeep]

So moping it is. [It's not unreasonable but, it's not what Basco does. He doesn't like having regrets. So enjoy your thoughts for the next few minutes while he goes and gets himself clean and wet.]

[a_divine_island]

[Sigh. Why does he sleep with Basco again?

It's fine, Takatora could use a few minutes of not being pushed to do this and that, thank you. He will just (try to) relax all stretched out and almost naked.]

[trollininthedeep]

[Guess who's hopping back into bed with his hair still wet and dressed only in Takatora's work shirt?]

Thinking?

[a_divine_island]

[Could you get any cheekier? Takatora would swat you if he was so inclined.]

I was wondering how you wormed your way into my bed when you can be so unreasonable sometimes.

[trollininthedeep]

[And it's a clean work shirt too. Extra laundry for the help to do as he just lies down on his stomach next to you.]

I would think it was because I'm unreasonable but, that doesn't explain why I keep getting invited back in.

[a_divine_island]

[Yeah, it's not like the amount of laundry involved directly impacts Takatora. It's simply Basco's dominion over his wardrobe when it's not to his personal tastes at all. Far too plain and muted.

Why is your rear still on display, Basco.]

I honestly don't know. There's something about you.

[Something fascinating and smart. Some of Takatora's biggest weaknesses in a partner.]

[trollininthedeep]

[Smart? Smartass might be a better description. Might also explain why his is on display still, because he couldn't be damned to put on pants. Or his usual clothes.]

You think so?

[a_divine_island]

[Street-smart is still a kind of smart. You don't need to be a bookworm, or have certificates and degrees to gain Takatora's attention or admiration.]

Are you fishing for compliments?

[There is a difference between telling a cherished lover how much you adore them and why, and praising a... Well. Bedpartner would be accurate without being rude.]

[trollininthedeep]

[Frequent bedpartner thank you very much.]

I'm curious what you think of me since I don't tell you anything. [Because really, personal life never really was a main point in conversations. Just the present.]

[a_divine_island]

[Yes, yes, true enough.]

I think you're secretive. Since you don't tell me anything.

...But I suppose I don't share with you either, so it's only to be expected.

[trollininthedeep]

Do you want to know more? It's at a fairly comfortable place for keeping it at casual sex between two people.

[a_divine_island]

[Honestly, the moment Takatora spoke he realised that in knowing his home, and knowing of his younger brother Basco actually knows plenty more than Takatora knows of him in turn. So while he's thinking of those topics-]

Do you live nearby? Do you have family?

[trollininthedeep]

[Well, those were easy topics to give vague facts about.]

No family. No settled home either since I jump from place to place. Lived on ships for almost all of my life.

[a_divine_island]

[Well, nothing to report is still a report, as such. Now Takatora knows Basco has no family rather than being uncertain of the fact. And that he was brought up on... the sea.]

You are difficult to pin down, then.

[trollininthedeep]

I've stayed here, haven't I?

[a_divine_island]

[What does... that mean...

Don't play with Takatota's feelings, Basco.]

[trollininthedeep]

[But that's what he does, along with curling up a bit closer for some cuddling]

[a_divine_island]

[You monster, Takatora can't resist cuddling and you must know that by now.]

[trollininthedeep]

[He does know.]

[a_divine_island]

[Well then now you're going to have to suffer being pulled into Takatora's embrace and having your head laid on his chest so he can thread fingers through your pretty hair. Even if it is wet. That's not the worst feeling right now after all the intense heat of fucking.]

[trollininthedeep]

[Well.....that's comfortable. At this rate, it's going to lead to talking more about each other's hopes and aspirations.]

You still upset that we're here like this instead of you being at work?

[a_divine_island]

Upset might be the wrong word. Concerned about the influence I've allowed you over me.

[Takatora might just be smiling fondly a little bit where you can't see it. He knows this is dangerous and he still can't help himself getting attached.]

And now that I've admitted as much to you you're going to become insufferable. I can only imagine what you'll try next.

[trollininthedeep]

I can tell you what I want to do that you'll say no to.
