[ 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!

Edited (the previous icon was absolutely not nearly pathetic enough) 2025-08-26 19:54 (UTC)

[ Oh. Gorgug isn't thinking with his dick in the background, anymore.

Granted, cuddling can happen after certain activities, but hearing Fabian whine about what he does, and be honest about it, it does touch him. That what he's complaining about is not cuddling with him instead of the plethora of other grievances Fabian surely has locked and loaded. This is-- not first, but second. And Gorgug regrets getting them wet, feeling his hoodie heavy on his body.

... So he removes it (would've probably been a good idea to do before, really), kneeled, and then swaps over to his butt, right next to Fabian. Offers: ]

We can cuddle now. [ ... ] Should I get on the ground? [ You know, if he has to get really down low to Fabian's level--he'll do it! But not before opening his arms, still trying to give Fabian what he wants. ] Or you can get up, and I'll hug you like this...

[ Just hold Fabian up against his side. ]

[ There's a grumpy noise coming from Fabian. Grumpy!! Fussy!!!

But Fabian does move, even though he initially made that noise. It's probably just still general dissatisfaction with the state of things, or maybe just recollecting all of the stuff he was talking about a moment ago. It's not about Gorgug's offer at all, since he sits up, and the moment he is firmly sitting he just allows his body to drop against Gorgug's own like Fabian is nothing but a sack of potatoes. Ready to be held. You need to remember to hold the baby, Gorgug!! The baby needs to be held right now in the middle of the grumpiness!! ]

We need to find a way to smuggle you into my cabin.

[ Gorgug is holding the baby.

The moment that Fabian flops against him, those arms are open and wrap around Fabian's side to bring him flush against him. Not squeezing, and there will be room for Fabian to make himself comfortable, if he likes. But Gorgug said he would hold him, and that's exactly what he'll do. ]

I bet you can smuggle me somehow. [ Indeed. A nearly 7 foot half-orc being smuggled unnoticed. But it does remind Gorgug of... ] Have you heard of the pocket spaces they sell in gems? Privates room you can go into whenever you want. [ Super expensive.

Gorgug's about to say about buying one, but then realises, ] --do you think your parents had one in the manor?

[ Imagine.

Fabian's family is rich. They probably have twelve! ]

Probably.

[ Honestly, there's so much stuff in the manor that Fabian believes pretty much anything could be in there. It's not like money is an objection - and even more so, it's not like Fabian really knows the monetary value of.. anything at all.

So the answer comes out easily, even though Fabian can't be certain. After all-- ]

I haven't seen everything in there. It's so big. [ Gorgug, you could go on a treasure hunt in there.. Maybe you could even find robots!!! (Doubtful.)

Fabian is also totally making himself comfortable and properly cuddling Gorgug over here, but don't call him out on it. Ssh. It's a secret. Secret cuddling. ]

It's not as if we could go back and look for one though. They are herding us here. They gave Dean a little bit of power, and now he is acting like a dictator, even though he was fine before.

[ The cuddling is happening around them, and to them. It's not something that needs fussing over, anyway; Gorgug enjoys this contact that he's been missing out on, though it's a shame about how wet they are, and not in a fun way. But Gorgug dips his head against Fabian's, feels some skin against skin, and that's nice. They're together again. ]

Is that the guy with the cool car?

[ This, apparently, is all that Gorgug remembers about Dean. Tell him more, boyfriend! Give him the deets! ]
