Mmmm, [ it's meant to be a sound of agreement, or something noncommittal, to Fabian's rather pointed observation (complaint, Gorgug knows it's a complaint). ] I'm gonna get dust all over you.

[ And that's a threat, the kind that still comes with a few more kisses. If he cared enough for Fabian's annoyance for his hygiene, he might go for a revenge that's more immediate. But what Gorgug wants and cares for is Fabian, being with him, and what his impulses tell him to do...

is to lift Fabian up around the waist and direct him, ] Wrap your legs, [ so he can hold Fabian up by the butt proper. Get those legs off the floor, bro, your boyfriend is now carrying you.

And if he succeeds in getting his way, he will ask with a tone and expression that's probably hard to tell if he's serious: ]

Tell me the way to the lake.

[ .. oh.

O-Oh?!

Sure, they were kissing. Fabian expected some makeouts, maybe, if there wouldn't be too many people around. But he didn't expect Gorgug to be this forward about it, especially while they're in public. It doesn't mean that Fabian isn't going along with this all the same - y-yes, Gorgug, okay Gorgug, he's already wrapping his legs around you and holding on, no need to tell him twice - but he's sure looking surprised about it.

If you'd ask him though, he would say he's totally not blushing. Nuh-uh. His face is just growing a little darker because of-- b-because of a burn! From all this sun! Yeah, totally!!

It's not because his boyfriend is being so forward, and carrying him off to have some sweet wild s--

.. wait.

What? ]

What?

[ Fabian would like to formulate a more intelligent response than that, but his brain momentarily is turned off after having ran wild with what turns out to maybe have been an incorrect assumption entirely. ]

[ He's cradling Fabian's body easily against his, Fabian's hips somewhere around his stomach, and his legs exactly as he wanted them. This is all that Gorgug wants right now, and sure, Fabian isn't actually hurrying to tell him the direction towards the lake, but does that mean Gorgug is going to stay standing in place?

No. He's walking, to get from around the cabins clustered together. If he's going the short way or the long way towards their destination doesn't matter. Gorgug's just moving his feet!! ]

We're going to the lake, [ Gorgug explains--in case that's what Fabian needs right now. ] We're going inside it.

[ See?

So helpful. So much detail. And with a peck on Fabian's lips: ] And I'll keep kissing you.

[ So that they're on the same page about that, too. ]

[ M.. Maybe it's not false after all, then? Granted, maybe it's just that his head is more likely to head in certain directions while he's pressed up entirely against Gorgug and with Gorgug's arms around him, but what else could he want to do in the lake of all places?!

That is also a kind of a wild place to have sex, but.. if Gorgug wants to try it, then.. sure? ]

Alright.

[ Maybe it's a decision he'll regret later, but right now his head is definitely full of nothing but libido. If Gorgug wants to take him in the lake, then that's what they'll do. ]

It's, uh.. [ Just don't mind the way he still sounds a little flustered, his hands clinging onto Gorgug's shoulders, squeezing them a little. ] You head to the left here, and then you just keep on walking. You'll see it. [ Dude.

Dude.

Gorgug is going to screw him in the lake, dude!!!!!!! Sorry if Fabian isn't the most talkative right now - unlike the usual. He's far too busy already imagining this in his mind palace at the moment. ]

[ Head to left, keeping walking. Gorgug gives an "Okay" in acknowledgement, and as he walks--passing by people, which Fabian may or may not be paying any attention to, but he might hear it--he doesn't question the lack of words from his usually talkative partner. He's never quite done this before, holding someone around his waist and walking to a destination (okay, he never has), but it's easy enough. Fabian isn't too heavy, and with his legs locked around him, their balance works well.

He keeps his eyes over Fabian's shoulder, but sneaks looks at him; and he can't actually sneak kisses at him either unless Fabian leans his head towards him, but there's some form of affirmations he gives without prompt: ]

I missed you. [ ... ] I don't like going on missions without you. [ ... ] I don't care about what we're meant to be doing anymore.

[ His voice is low, private, but without trying to hide his words from anyone; intimate, with his gaze on Fabian whenever he speaks, his mild expression making it hard to decipher if it's distaste he's speaking with, or something deeper, more along the lines of where Fabian's mind is. The sound of other "camp" goers might come and go, and as they reach a line of trees that give way to a larger view of the lake, Fabian's ears might pick up more clear that they're not the only other people using the lake. There's at least no one else in their vincinity, but it's also not that late in the day.

It's not private.

And Gorgug comes to the edge line between land and water and surveys everything for a moment. Kicks off his shoes onto the green grass.

... ]

[ And then starts backtracking enough so that he can go into a sprint and throw them both into the water like a bullet.

Lake dive, HOOT GROWL!!!!! ]

Edited 2025-06-23 12:47 (UTC)

[ It's hot.

It's so hot. It doesn't help that Fabian is an extremely dumb teenage boy who is extremely easily turned on by something, but he still thinks this is hot. All of the things Gorgug is telling him are hot, especially when he's saying it nearly like it's a whisper. Being carried like this is hot. The fact that other people are clearly around is-- W-Well, it's kind of hot too, actually--

But Fabian doesn't even have that much time to contemplate that last one. The way Gorgug chooses for them to enter the water is so unexpected and startling that Fabian doesn't even have the reflexes to cast Feather Fall or something, so instead they slam right into the water.

Not exactly sexy. Not the kind of getting slammed Fabian was looking forward to.

The water shocks him out of his surprise a little bit. At least enough for some reflexes to kick in, releasing the hold his legs have on Gorgug's waist and trying to wriggle his way out of the other's arms enough to be able to keep himself afloat before they outright sink and drown. That would be the most embarrassing way to go out. What would they ever tell Riz?!

Fabian's head is at least above the water now, even as he's paddling like a madman to keep himself afloat, still looking thoroughly flustered. Because of how turned on he was? Because of the surprise? Who knows! ]

G-Gorgug--

[ Hold on, he's sputtering out water now. ]

What was that?!

[ They sink, and Gorgug should have thought about telling Fabian to hold his breath like he already has, but the thought never enters his mind--the water engulfs them, their combined weight lets them sink, and Gorgug doesn't restrict Fabian as he unravels from around him, letting go of him to move freely. His eyes open just to see what Fabian's doing, and he sees him rising, so--

well, he can come up too. Splashing, ungraceful, because even when he was the only one who knew what he was going to do, it doesn't mean he's a great swimmer or anything!

But if it's there's something to be noticed, perhaps, is the smile that Gorgug comes up with, wiping the water off his face and letting his arms keep him bobbing. ]

Wasn't it fun? [ It's not a worried question--it's as happy as he looks, and he kicks his legs to get closer to Fabian, to take one of his hands above water. Eyes on Fabian's one, focused. ]

Let's do whatever the fuck we want.

[ Who cares if it's sensible? ]

I thought we were going to--

[ Apparently even Fabian can't finish that sentence, despite his horny feelings from a moment ago. Maybe it's because he's being rather loud right now - as Fabian ever is - and he's kind of realizing that half of the people out on the lake would be able to hear him yell about having sex with his boyfriend.

Embarrassing. That's what that thought is. That's what everything right now is. Just straight up embarrassing.

Rather than smiling over at Gorgug, Fabian is just.. slowly lowering himself into the water until only his eye and eyepatch is left right above the waterline.. Blowing some bubbles in embarrassment... ]

[ Dude? Didn't you think he sounded so shounen moment cool there?? Dude???

Gorgug was feeling his empowered moment, thank you very much, but then he's watching his boyfriend sink and, hm, that's something? He waits for a few seconds, then gives his arm a shake by the hand he's holding. Just-- a wobble wobble.

There's no sinking into the depths, so he's not worried about that, but also... ]

...We're still going to kiss. [ ... wobble wobble. ] I still want us to make out?

[ Did Fabian think he forgot? Did Fabian hit the water too hard....?? ]

[ Maybe Fabian did hit the water too hard.. Maybe it knocked that last braincell finally out of him.. :(

Though Fabian actually is thinking here. Gorgug told him before that he should just.. use his words to talk about what he feels, even though it still doesn't always feel all that great for Fabian...

But he's trying. He's pathetically sunk into the water, but he's trying.

And that involves getting his head up a little bit from the water again, so he isn't talking right into the water to a point where Gorgug wouldn't be able to understand. ]

I thought we were going to have sex. [ See, he feels so pathetic saying that!!! But he's saying it anyway!! This is just for you, Gorgug. He's doing his best. ] You were being very sexy.

[ Oh?

Oh???

That doesn't take a lot for his brain to understand, but he still needs to process it--or get the wrench unstuck in the gear that is his brain. Fabian thought they were going to have sex. Fabian thought he was being sexy.

Gorgug doesn't need to be told twice--e-even if it would be nice, probably...! ]

We can find a place to have sex. [ They're the only two immediately around, so, Gorgug doesn't mind saying that. ] I don't have anything on me, though.

[ Still--they can do other things, right? Just as long as that's okay for Fabian. Is it? Is he still in the mood?

Because even admitting his expectations is enough for Gorgug to be into the idea. ]

[ Fabian exhales a breath. ]

We don't need to right now.

[ Look how mature he's being. Look at him, Gorgug! He really doesn't want to have to clarify any of these things - Fabian would still love to always be understood without having to voice a single one of his feelings ever, for the record! - but he's trying to be a big boy and actually voice them.

Mostly because Gorgug has asked him to. But it still feels like pulling teeth to him, even after all this time. His face still feels so hot with the dumb blush, and he can't even blame it on the water since it's cold. Ugh!!! UGH!!!! ]

I just feel dumb because I misunderstood you. That's all. [ UGH!!!! He is being SO mature and communicative right now, and you better appreciate him, Gorgug! You better give him the Best Boyfriend Of The Year award!

He can't even directly look at Gorgug as he speaks, he's that embarrassed. In the same way a little kid might be. ]

I'm already glad that you're here again, instead of being off in-- in whateverland, potentially getting into trouble by yourself. [ Not that he was worried!!!! Or anything!!! Baka!!!!! He didn't lie awake at night here thinking about it at all!!!!!! ]

[ The water is so nice, Fabian. And so are you.

Sure, actually--being in a lake with wet clothes is actually awkward and heavy, and the desire to be in a cold lake is different when you're not in the same stuffy weather as it was back in Solmara. But the atmosphere is still warm, and Gorgug is listening to Fabian, watching him, with that sulky huff that he gets when he's not on the right track. Even though he could be--they both could be.

It's nice, the way that Fabian's being honest. Revealing himself, and the way that he looks. And speaking about him, too.

Gorgug lets the huffy concern soak in, appreciating it, before he moves in closer; so that he might get his arms around Fabian's upper back. He's looking at him, considering his next moves, the things he wouldn't mind doing, and ends up slipping a kiss down onto Fabian's lips. Wet from their dive in, but he plants it firmly. ]

I want to be with you, [ he tries again--to be more convincing. That they might've not been on the same page, but now... ] I've missed--touching your body. We could go somewhere private. Just you and me, for a while?

[ One of his hands move down into the water, finding the rim of Fabian's shirt and pushing it up to let his hands settle against skin. Nothing suggestive, except perhaps in the action itself, but just from a want to feel Fabian more. Him, his body. ]

[ Having to talk about his emotions is not exactly the most sexy thing Fabian could be doing. It's very much not turning him on over here, actually. All of his desire to have wild lake sex with Gorgug died down the moment he realizes he was an idiot living out a dream of misunderstandings and then even had to explain himself. Pah!!

But the problem is that Gorgug is being Gorgug. Sweet. And also kind of irresistible. Nothing should be sexy about getting that wet of a kiss from the other while they're both soaked in cold water, and yet Fabian has a real hard time doing as much as contemplating the idea of turning the other down.

Even if he's still looking very flustered. And huffy. And feeling not very sexy at all right now, actually. ]

Can it at least be-- I don't know, under a hot shower or something? [ Judging by the tone of his voice, he's totally giving in though.. That's the sound of Fabian giving in, even though he's feeling embarrassed as hell right now.. ] I'm fully aware that I am one of the most attractive beings alive, but soaking in cold lake water doesn't exactly make me feel very sexy.

You're sexy to me.

[ Sometimes, you don't need to think of a response. This is one of those times for Gorgug, and not because he should know by now how much Fabian likes to be called that. It might help him though, if he isn't feeling sexy, and Gorgug knows he's told him before--because it's true--that he thinks he's hot. That's kind of Fabian's thing, being the hot jock on top of all the other stuff he is.

And Gorgug is his boyfriend. His boyfriend that's going to have sex with him, but also, his boyfriend that reassures him. Something's shifted in him with Solmara, or maybe it was the distance alone, but he's feeling appreciative of what he has--the people he has.

What Gorgug also has is Fabian in his arms, and he's thinking, now... ]

We can go for a shower, if you want. [ Not that Gorgug knows where they are, but.. ] Do you want me to carry you out?

[ Uppies again, bro? ]

[ ...

There's a slight pause, because it is kind of embarrassing, but.. ]

Yeah.

[ It's said on the quieter side. Even though no one could overhear them here anyway. Fabian might be looking after his personal pride in this moment, not exactly feeling all that cool when he's asking his boyfriend to uppies him out of the lake.. ]

You have to carry me there. Punishment for making me have to-- [ He can't say it. He can't say the word!! The word miss is not allowed in the vocabulary of Fabian Aramais Seacaster!!!! ]

T-To not see you for a while.

[ Please don't take anything too seriously right now, Gorgug. He's just embarrassed. Very embarrassed. ]

Okay. [ It's soft, assenting--because sorry, but there's something about that being the reason behind his punishment. Not seeing you for a while. It may or may not make Gorgug's heart jump some, his brain processing and acknowledging the implication that Fabian missed him, even though it's more than an implication by now.

He wants to think about it some more, and maybe he will, but first, he has to give Fabian that uppies. Muttering, his arms around Fabian already, and he guides the two of them back towards the lake edge to get a surface underneath his feet, ] If we get close, then we turn, I can pick us up out of the lake.

[ There's an added weight now, thanks to the water, but Gorgug will manage--as long a Fabian puts his legs around him again--to get them both out, an arm wrapping around Fabian's back to make sure he doesn't tip him and throw off their balance upon stepping out. His socks squelch, and it's the feel of it that makes Gorgug pull a face. ]

Oh yeah. I need to put my shoes back on.

[ So much for immediate uppies and carrying... ]

[ Sometimes reality sure sets in, huh. Like right now. And it's not even that Gorgug is being unreasonable in any way - he's just being realistic. But reality is something Fabian does not want any part of in the middle of his embarrassment.

So when Gorgug says that, he lets out a very, very dramatic and half-embarrassed sigh. The next moment the half-elf is releasing his hold on Gorgug - before he can drag the other down with him by accident - and falling to the ground.

.. falling surprisingly slowly, actually. Maybe Fabian's dramatic ass just cast Feather Fall on himself for no other reason than to drop as dramatically to the ground as possible. Lying there in the grass. Wetly. Absolutely dripping everywhere. ]

You know, you're not very good at getting punished.

Sorry. [ The dramatic fall is interesting to watch, and Gorgug does admittedly stand there and watch him, at least for most of it before going to grab his shoes. He takes off his socks, stuffing them into his pocket without anywhere better to put them, and while he could immediately put on his shoes, he goes back to looking down at Fabian--moping, dramatically laid out on the grass. ]

I can think about what I did and feel really bad about it, [ he offers. That sounds like punishment, maybe? ]

I don't want you to feel bad.

[ It sounds muffled, even though Fabian's face is clearly pointing upwards. He wouldn't do a dramatic fall onto his stomach, after all. He's just lying there on his back. Spread eagle. Spread out as much as dramatically possible in this moment.

Maybe it's just that he's mumbling. Pouting. Like a little kid throwing the world's most melodramatic tantrum. ]

I just want us to have fun. Camp's been awful. [ And though Gorgug doesn't seem very forthcoming with details about what he's been doing-- Well, it doesn't exactly sound like it was a funfest either. ]

[ Gorgug crouches, since talking to your boyfriend (or probably most people) at such a height as his isn't very fun, and it doesn't seem like Fabian's going to immediately get up.

Because Gorgug needs to put his shoes on. Which he does remember a moment later, and sits so he can reach for his trainers and slip back on, but before that: ]

We can have fun. I'll go have fun with you. [ Though, he has to wonder- ] Is camp just about doing the most stuff here the best? Are we getting marked?

[ What have they even been doing here? Just random activities? ]

[ Another - extremely melodramatic - groan from Fabian. ]

It's not even about doing it the best. It's about participation. [ Do you get why he's groaning so much now, Gorgug? Do you think Fabian Aramais Seacaster could ever be satisfied with a dumb participation medal when he's always been taught to be the best at absolutely everything?

This camp goes against his very existence. His very soul! ]

They made me do archery with a bunch of people who did not even know how to hold a bow. Me, Gorgug! Archery! [ He has killed a man with a crossbow, why was he stuck in the beginners club!!! ]

[ Gorgug does need to process this. While he can understand the problem here, his brain is thinking of ways it could be okay--like the parts where Fabian gets to show himself off to others about how talented he is. But it sounds like it didn't go that way, or it wasn't fulfilling enough.

And considering Fabian's mood in general about Etraya, Gorgug doubts that he even peacocked much in the process. ]

You're good with a bow, [ is what Gorgug says first, finally. He just needs somewhere to start... ] You didn't have fun doing anything? Nothing?

[ Really, the point of missions isn't to have fun... but it's sad to think about Fabian being so miserable all the time. ]

I wanted to cuddle with you.

[ .. That's not really an answer to the question.

On the other hand, it's likely Fabian is not even being dodgy with the way he's still sprawled out on the ground. It's more just that he's being whiny.. The only reason to remain lying there on the ground pathetically and dripping wet is if you're being a huge baby, after all.

And here he is. Fabian "Huge Baby" Seacaster. Gorgug's boyfriend. ]

I was thinking about that the entire time. Especially in the cabin. It's so cramped, Gorgug. There's hardly even room in there, and I had to share it with these other people! When I could be in the Manor cuddling with you!
