All I Want for Valentine's Day... Is Some Peace and Quiet!

[Deleted]

Oriel rolled his eyes, trying not to laugh at Kodi’s near slip of his tongue. Call it a sixth sex sense or something, but Oriel always figured Kodi for a sub. You pick up on these things when you fuck a lot. And they didn’t too much anymore(or at all), but Oriel remembered seeing this kind of adorable Kodi that the boy was trying oh so hard to keep hidden under snark and hostility at least once before. Funny how he’d only shown it to Oriel when he was drugged up on too much cough syrup. Even more funny was that it was shortly after that when Oriel caught the two of them on their ice-cream date. With snap-shots and all. Oriel had plans for those pictures, heh heh heh. The turkey-shark couple had something to look forward to on the anniversary of that little date of theirs(because he didn’t now when it was they met, so had to go for the next best thing).

It was…supposed to be a sort of piece offering…combined with a no-doubt hilarious joke(to him). When was he going to get another chance like that? Oriel liked to take advantage when he could.

“Mmm?” Oriel hummed at Phoenix’s comment. “You think?” Oriel fluffed his own hair a bit, running his fingers through it so it floofed away from his face. “This is pretty normal, actually. It was the long shit…that was the first time I grew my hair out that long.” And he liked it, but it was a little annoying and in the way. And maybe Kodi was right, it made him look more like a hobo. Oriel didn’t need to look like that, not when meeting Phoenix’s mom. Besides, his boss at the theater would appreciate the more clean-cut look too, he bet. “Yeah, ain’t shit,” he replied after toting in their bags. He was more than strong enough to handle a couple of roll-aways.

Oriel nodded, however, agreeing with Phoenix’s comments about the room. “Yeah…I don’t even want to know how much he paid for this shit.” He really didn’t. Because then Oriel would feel even more guilty for accepting, especially from someone he more-or-less despised. He just needed to push that out of his head and be done with it.

And that’s what Oriel decided to do, once out on the balcony with Phoenix clinging to him from behind. Oriel smiled. “It really does remind me of home,” he mused. It was nice being back in the city. It was so much more comforting…Oriel missed it a lot more than he realized. Oriel snickered at Phoenix’s stumbling. He was still messing up those big words, wasn’t he? Oriel spun around and wrapped his arms around his thin lover, pulling him in close against his chest. And that’s when he noticed the other couple standing out on their own balcony, being their stupid lovey-dovey selves. Oriel snarled, then smirked at the challenge. “You think anyone will see us up here?” he whispered into Phoenix’s ear, his hand creeping down to clasp over Phoenix’s rear end. Oriel gave it a good squeeze. “I’ve always wanted to fuck you, with the lights of the city before us.” Oriel nibbled a little on his fiancee’s neck and then gradually moved up to his plump lips, where he invaded deep into that sultry mouth without hesitation and with no intention to let up until Phoenix had completely swooned from the stimulation. Two could play at this game, heh heh.

[Deleted]

Kodi snorted. “Me? A gold digger? Please…” Gryph could have been poor as hell and the dentokinetic would still be crazy about him. He knew the winged boy knew that, though. His eyes were sparkling affectionately as they headed out. “Mmm… Probably not as gorgeous as the view in here, though,” he murmured, gazing up at his lover.

It was nearly spoiled by those two losers over there, but fortunately Gryph seemed to know exactly what to do. “Huh?” he said stupidly, his grumpiness switching to brief bewilderment as Gryphon pulled him in. Mmmm… Yep, all care melted away as their lips met, and Kodi blissfully returned the kiss, lost in the moment. The sun was setting over the horizon… There was a stream gurgling nearby… Everything was just…. So perfect…

Phoenix was feeling the same. “Reminds you of home… That’s a good thing, right?” he murmured. He knew Oriel had a lot of bad memories from his home town, so he hoped he wasn’t thinking of those. Phen cuddled up tight to his big manly man as Oriel wrapped around him, trying to ignore the other two. Were they….? Nooooo, he didn’t want to see that…! He didn’t want to see that Gryph really did kiss that jerk….! “Oriel,” he whined, missing the boy’s question. It was only when Oriel’s hands started wandering that he realized what his fiancé was doing. “O-oh, uh… R-really?” he squeaked, trying to transition from horrified to lovey. It didn’t take much; the nibbling, and then the kiss, effectively removed the other pair from his mind. Swoon he did, only managing to stay standing by clinging onto Oriel’s waist for dear life. He didn’t realize they were being quite loud with their smooching; the wet, hungry sounds carried easily over the distance to the other balcony.

And Kodi definitely heard it. He scowled, breaking away from his own sweet kiss with Gryphon just long enough to see what the ruckus was. Oh, for fuck’s sake… “Gross,” he growled, but all it did was… Make him want to out-do the other two. Within moments, his lips were locked onto Gryph’s again, drinking him in and invading his mouth with his tongue, while his hands wandered under the hem of the older boy’s shirt and clung to his yummy abs. Two could definitely play at this game.

Meanwhile, Phoenix was still drowning in his own affection. His knees wobbled and eventually gave out, making him go limp against his taller lover. “Oriel,” he panted at a quick pause between kisses. “I want… I need….” He seemed to have forgotten where they were and who was near. Oriel tended to have that effect on him. “I l-love you….” he breathed, falling into another deep kiss.

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Sweet kisses were most probably Gryphon's speciality. He didn't know if it was only something so effective on Kodi, but making a kiss special was simple to him - and if he ignored the small chatter going on behind him, it was pretty easy for him to fall into the moment as well. The atmosphere, the surroundings, the romantic feel of this time of year... it made it a moment more like the one's he'd been imagining on the way here. He was glad of that.

However, it was difficult to block out the horny sounds from the next balcony along, and he sighed when Kodi pulled away, humming in quiet agreement. He turned his head a little to see what they were doing that would be making so much noise, but he was kinda distracted by Kodi before he could do that. Suddenly, this kiss had become a lot deeper. The taller boy went with it for now, enjoying what seemed to be the competitive behaviour that was coming from his lover and taking advantage of it, kissing him back with just as much vigour.

Gryph hummed as Kodi felt up his abs - nothing knew there. He spoke in between kisses, lips smacking each time he pulled away, "I love getting.... lost in you." He said, "You're.... intoxicating~" He giggled a little before pulling away fully. He quickly swiped a look at the other two and noticed all the groping, before looking at Kodi again, "I hope you realise I won't do that out here," He murmured, "I have class." Unlike Oriel who seemed happy to probably screw Phen in the broad daylight. No, Gryphon wouldn't do that. "Besides, wouldn't want to show your sub side out here, would you?" The winged man would be surprised if he was actually okay with that - but with all that talking done he threaded a hand into Kodi's hair, tugging slightly as they fell into those deep, heavy kisses again, with Gryph being a little more rough with tugs and lip bites. He knew what Kodi liked.

[Deleted]

As many bad memories that Oriel had of his home city, he still felt the nostalgia at being in a place that was so much like it. Sure, Seattle was a lot smaller, but the skyline was no less beautiful than that of downtown Manhattan. It was…comforting to him. Far more relaxing than he anticipated. It made him forget for a moment the whole fancy aspect of their lodgings. It also made it so that his fondling of Phoenix was more than just a competitive move against Team Fancy-Pants and Co..

When it came to excessive PDA, Oriel considered himself the master. And considering they weren’t even in public, Oriel had even less inhibition about what he decided to do to his dear, lovable fiancee. After all, this was their Valentine’s weekend. They were on their private trip. There was no reason why Oriel shouldn’t be allowed to express his affection for his Squish, regardless of the pathetic voyeurs peeping in on them from the balcony next door. If they wanted a show, Oriel would give them a show.

Oriel smiled into his kisses, feeling Phoenix turn to putty in his arms, so much that the younger boy very near had to hold him up, one hand pressed tight against the center of his back, while the other was cupped fiercely underneath Phoenix’s tight little rump. He squeezed and slid his hand up and down his lover’s back, hoping to coax out a lustful moan from his lover. “I know,” he breathed, feeling a bit dizzy himself. “I know, I do too.” Oriel could already feel himself responding, and he pressed his desire up against Phoenix, ensuring that the older boy could feel it as well. “I love you, Squish.”

Soon, Oriel was no longer drowning Phoenix in kisses, but smothering him with touches of heated affection, sliding both his hands down under his buttocks and lifting him strongly up against his broad chest. Meanwhile, Oriel’s lips fell upon a tawny skinned shoulder and suckled into it until it blistered, beautiful and ruddy. His large hands began kneading both of Phoenix’s butt-cheeks in gripping, uniform circles.

Gryphon was right about one thing. Oriel lacked enough shame to molest Phoenix wherever and whenever he felt like it. Even on the second floor balcony of a fancy hotel. Oriel gradually dug his teeth into the spot he’d just been sucking, wanting to finish off his mark with a little something special.

[Deleted]

Kodi, in this regard, was much like Oriel. He was shameless, and wouldn’t have hesitated to do all the things he wanted to do to Gryph right out here on this balcony. His hands slid up further under his lover’s shirt, teasing upwards ever so slowly. His nails lightly scratched the older boy’s skin. “Heh… Look… Mmm… Who’s talkin’…” he murmured back between kisses, until Gryph pulled away and glanced at the other two, who looked about ready to copulate right there on deck. Kodi made a disgusted face. “Grrrr,” he growled, slightly frustrated that those dipwads were going to ‘win’ in this ‘competition’. However, when Gryphon mentioned his sub behavior, Kodi paled slightly, realizing he was right. “… Fine…” he grumbled, falling back into the aggressive kisses. He felt a hint of teeth, and growled playfully, enjoying the slightly painful sensations. Gryph really did know how to turn him on even more, and it was evident when Kodi pressed himself tightly against his older lover. For another few moments, he managed to ignore the other two.

Phoenix wasn’t paying them much attention either, fortunately, otherwise he would have been horrified to see what the toothy demon was doing to his sweet Gryphy. Had Oriel not been holding him up, he would have melted into a puddle right there on the balcony by now. The younger boy’s touches succeeded in gaining a needy groan from the pixie. He felt so hot, despite the chilly air outside. He needed Oriel like he needed oxygen.

Before he knew what was happening, Phoenix found himself wrapping his thin legs around Oriel’s waist, his shoulders looped around the other boy’s shoulders for support as his younger lover lifted him with ease. Another shaky moan escaped his lips when they were freed from Oriel’s onslaught only to be driven back into ecstasy by Oriel’s wandering hands and mouth. He eventually mewled when he felt teeth digging into his skin, his fingers tangling and gripping into his fiance’s shorter hair. “O-Oriel…” he whined, his desire apparent. “Let’s… G-go inside….” Granted, if Oriel insisted on staying out here, Phoenix wouldn’t have the strength to argue. And it wasn’t like he felt too cold anyway; for once, he felt too hot even out in the cool weather. “S-someone will see us out here….” Whoops, sorry Gryphon.

Kodi had eventually broken away from his kissing again, glaring darkly at the noisy, sloppy couple next door. “That makes me wanna vomit,” he growled, clinging possessively onto Gryphon. Seriously, did they think that was hot? Gross…. No, he was not jealous of how shameless Oriel was with his lover! “I hope we don’t look like that.” He wasn’t lying either! Still, he grumbled and buried his face into the crook of Gryphon’s neck, wishing he could block out the sounds. “…. Let’s go inside and leave them t’their fuckin’ out here in the cold,” he mumbled. It would be easier for him to get lost in Gryph again once they were away from the gross noises. Kodi began pulling away, expecting Gryph to follow after him.

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Gryphon smirked, shivering at the feeling of Kodi's nails against him, and smiling wider at his comments. However, this whole experience was probably going to be a lot more enjoyable if they didn't have to be disturbed by the other two and their... well, maybe it was kissing, either that or they were slapping two wet fish together. They weren't exactly quiet, or subtle. That was probably how it was supposed to be, he guessed. How Oriel was intending it to be. Gryph didn't care so much about the 'contest' itself, just the way it riled Kodi up. Fiesty was fun. The older boy chuckled, expecting Kodi would react in such a way, and just fell back into the kisses, trying to distract himself from Phoenix and his pet sex maniac - well, maybe 'try' wasn't the right word. Kodi made a brilliant distraction.

The behaviour from the other two was honestly getting grotesque. Sure, they were allowed to have sex, but out here? Seriously? He had to admit, part of his annoyance was from the way Phen was speaking and acting. He didn't like it. But it wasn't his business. Of course his friend had gone and had sexual encounters on a... pretty regular basis, but Gryph didn't want to see it - privacy! So he kind of agreed with Kodi, fiddling with the shorter boy's hair, "It's not exactly porn-worthy." He joked mildly. He tilted his head in curiosity, glanced at the couple again and then shook it, "We don't." At least, he didn't think they did.

Gryph went with Kodi's plan of action - since this was probably going to go further and it wasn't exactly going to happen out here. As Kodi began to move away, however, Gryphon smiled, and approached him quickly, saying in his ear, "Going up." Before scooping him into the bridal hold, giggling. It wasn't easy by any means (more to do with strength than Kodi's weight), but he was capable. He pecked his lover's temple, "Mine~" - he felt this was necessary - before swooping him inside, placing him down gently on the bed and closing the door.

He went back over to Kodi and took his hand, "You mentioned the bath before." He stated, "It looked nice. Do you want a bath?" As he said this, he casually pushed down the dentokinetic's chest, and sat over it, legs on either side of him. Just for the fun of it. "This is an interesting view."

[Deleted]

At some point, yes, Oriel half-way forgot that he was trying to show up his neighbors in a contest of excessive PDA. Just as Phoenix got lost in receiving Oriel’s love and affection, Oriel got carried away in dishing it out. It was easy when every single touch, no matter how slight, evoked such a delicious response from his fiancee, which only encouraged Oriel to do it again. And again. Could he get another? What if he did this? Watching Phoenix twitch and shiver and squirm until he was panting from lust captured Oriel’s attention far more than any silly competition could.

Like when Phoenix wrapped his legs around Oriel’s waist. That drove Oriel to press Phoenix even harder up against the wall of the building and slide one butt-groping hand down his lover’s thigh, digging his fingers in harshly along the way and very near pulling Phoenix’s jeans halfway down his bitty-rump. Oriel’s breath caught and he arched his head back with the slight pulling and scraping of Phoenix’s finger’s in his hair and along his scalp. “Ahh-hah,” he moaned something resembling an agreement. Inside was probably a good idea, though Oriel really was content to show off his love to the whole world, right there on that balcony. But even at this stage, Oriel had the sense to retreat, if just because he knew Phoenix would be upset about it later.

Oriel hooked his hands under Phoenix’s legs and carried him just like that back through the open sliding glass door. But that was about as far as they would go. Oriel fumbled a hand along the handle while trying to keep his attention on his lover, and closed the sliding door completely. Then he dropped Phoenix’s legs and pushed him around, pressing his front up against the large balcony window. “Think they can still see us?” he asked in a low voice, his breathing rough and growing desperate. Whichever it was, Oriel had no plans to move from that spot for the next several minutes.

“Pfft… I’ve seen low-rate porn that was more entertainin’ than that,” Kodi agreed with a grumble. The fact that they were doing it on the balcony was just… Okay, so maybe Kodi wished Gryph had the balls to do it out here too, but he wouldn’t complain. He knew his lover’s limits, even if he struggled not to push them sometimes.

He yelped at the unexpected lift into the air, quickly wrapping his arms around the older boy’s shoulders while he scowled playfully. “I ain’t your princess,” he teased lightly, then gave Gryph a peck on the nose. “Moron.” He didn’t struggle though, and instead just let the featherbutt do what he wanted. He was sure he was heavy, but Gryph managed to get him to the bed somehow. Kodi gazed up at his lover, his lust picking up again now that they were inside and away from those gross sucking, slurping sounds.

“I did~” he purred, lacing their fingers together and smiling mischievously. “Mmm… I could use a relaxing soak after that long plane ride.” Although ‘relaxing’ wasn’t really what he had in mind. Still, he allowed Gryph to push him back on the bed, and rose an eyebrow up at the tall boy towering over him. “Yeah, it is down here too,” he said with a smirk, eyeing a particular something that was pretty close to his face like this. “You sure you’re gonna make it to the bathroom?”

Assuming Gryph got off eventually, Kodi would sit up and peel off his shirt, casually working on his bottom half as well as he sauntered to the bathroom. He turned on the water, keeping his back turned towards his boyfriend as he stripped down to his boxers. “Mmm…. We should go down and get dinner afterwards,” he mentioned casually. “Whadaya say?” He finally turned back to the older boy, eyes glittering with desire. Needless to say, he wasn’t really thinking about eating at the moment.

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

It wasn't about having the balls to do it (even if that was partially what was holding Gryph back from doing so), it was just that it was indecent as all hell, and Gryphon was classy. It made it a lot more special and stuff when it was private. Maybe doing... it... somewhere outside where you're hidden would be exciting, but not in plain view. That was ridiculous.

The avian man giggled, "You definitely are, wifey~" Ahh, Gryph liked pushing Kodi's buttons - it was only teasing. He smiled, "Mmm... that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all." He agreed, eyes on his lover and nothing else for the moment. He started wondering what they could do while they waited for the bath to fill... oh, the possibilities~ Gryphon chuckled, "Maybe~ I do have self control, unlike somebody." He bounced on Kodi a little as he said that. The horny dentokinetic really did struggle to keep his hands off of him a lot of the time. Ehe. He sighed after a couple moments though, "Well... I can't kiss you from up here, so I'd better get off." He shrugged, "What a shame."

And with that, he mildly gracefully clambered off, not hitting Kodi on the way, thankfully, but almost falling over. He would forever be a derp. It was in his DNA. He didn't follow Kodi's lead of stripping quite yet, but approached the bathroom too. When they were inside, he closed the door and slid off his top as Kodi spoke, "Hm?" He turned and smiled, tilting his head, "Sounds good to me. Just not right now." It was obviously by this point what was going on now, as he began sliding off his bottom half, before holding Kodi's sides with a lustful gaze into his eyes, "I'm only hungry for you right now, babe." From that point on, the mood began to escalate again, so much so that the pair of them were already hot and steamy before even stepping into the bath.

*fade to blaaack~*

“Unnng… I’m gonna have bruises all over, that bathtub was harder than it looked,” Kodi groaned as he began drying off. He ruffled his hair in the incredibly fluffy towel before tossing it playfully at Gryphon. “My knees kept bangin’ against the side, but I didn’t really notice until after…” Oh well, it wasn’t like anyone was going to see his bruised-up knees anyway. “We goin’ to eat now, right? I dunno ‘bout you, but that gave me a helluva appetite.” Kodi smiled and stepped onto his toes to give Gryph a much gentler kiss than the ones they’d been sharing for the past… While. “Ugh… My butt’s sore too,” he added with a short grimace as he pulled away. No surprise there, though.

He went out into the bedroom and began looking through the luggage bags, which they’d so far been too distracted to unpack. Hmmm… He supposed, if they were going to eat at the restaurant in this fancy-shmancy lodge, he should probably dress the part. He began pulling out some of the nicest clothes he owned, which wasn’t all that formal or whatever, but at least he looked hot and not as punkish in them. Well… It was hard not to look punk when you had ear, lip, and neck piercings, dyed white-blonde hair, and (as soon as he put it on) thick eyeliner, but it was what he thought he looked best in, so whatever.

Once dressed, he studied himself in the mirror, looking himself up and down and doing a short spin for Gryph. “Do I look enough like a hot mess?” he asked, smirking playfully. He walked closer to his lover, trying to hide the slight limp he’d mysteriously developed in the last few minutes. “Let’s just hope the twerps are stayin’ in their room for the rest of the night,” he added in a low grumble. The last thing he wanted was for Phoenix to…

“Let’s go eat, Squishy~” Phoenix squeaked at Oriel, struggling to recover from his bout against the balcony window. If Kodi was tired, he was exhausted; he tried standing, but his knees were wobbling too much to hold his slight weight, so he ended up crawling over to their luggage (which they also had yet to unpack). “Dad bought this really nice, warm coat for me… It makes me look bigger, too!” He finally managed to find the article of clothing and held it up for Oriel’s approval. “Think it’s nice enough t’go and eat in?” He didn’t really know how fancy hotels worked, he just didn’t want to look like a complete idiot.

He finally managed to push himself to his feet, with the help of the bed, but his joints complained with every move. “Guh… I’m gettin’ too old for that stuff,” he pouted. Phoenix draped the coat over himself before scooting over to Oriel and nuzzling his cheek. “… Did you enjoy yourself?” he murmured, squeezing his side. “’Cause I did…” Despite the aches and pains that came after, it was always worth it. Oriel’s unpredictability was exciting and erotic, and Phen didn’t think he’d ever get tired of it.

[Deleted]

Oriel was a lot less tired than Phoenix was. In fact, that whole bout just seemed to energize him even more. After the stress of flying and traveling, Oriel needed it, to be honest. He’d fully recovered from that disaster and was more than ready to start their holiday in full force.

Oriel sat on the bed with one of the hotel pamphlets folded out between his hands. The fact that he could look at this POS casually and not feel intimidated anymore was a miracle, and a sign he was definitely getting better, right? Anyway, he was (slowly) looking at the amenities which came with this hotel. Fitness center, heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi(along with the Jacuzzi-sized baths in the rooms themselves), a recreation room, restaurant and a lounge(21 and over only). Shit, this place was loaded. And it came with all those freebies in the packages they stashed in the room? Oriel was definitely not worthy.

What caught his notice, however, was the restaurant. It was so high class, Oriel wondered if he’d even fit in with his hole-y jeans and 200 year old plaid shirt. He was sure it would be fine, but….Oriel looked up at the coat that Phoenix was showing off, the one his “daddy” bought him, and Oriel suddenly felt very…inadequate. “Should be,” he said with a bit a grump. “Don’t know what’s so important ‘bout ‘looking nice’ for a fucking meal though.” Fucking rich people, fucking…people…it wasn’t just the right who had that fixation. “’Least I can fantasize ‘bout you in red heels and curves under that ball of fluff. Rawr~” Oriel ran his tongue over the rim of his teeth, giving Phoenix the sexy eye.

Oriel smiled into a short laugh, rubbing his head back against his squishy lover as he crawled up to and nuzzled against the younger boy. “Of course I did, couldn’t you tell? Only you can drive me that fucking crazy,” he murmured in his ear. Yes, to the point where he lost so much control, he didn’t care who was listening or watching. Well, Oriel didn’t care much either way, but he’d completely forgotten about the imposing duo next door he was trying to one up. Oriel gave Phoenix one extra nibble before shuffling to the edge of the bed.

Sigh….speaking of that duo, Oriel had a beef with one of them, though hopefully not in a bad way. Though just the thought of going over there for this intention was making him sick to his stomach and he was two steps away from just saying ‘fuck it’ and doing his own thing per the usual. But watching Phoenix…..shit, he had no choice, did he? Oriel nabbed his pants and slipped them on, then pulled his tank-undershirt on over his head. “Oy, I’ll be right back, got to take care of something real quick.” Oriel sent Phoenix a reassuring smile, then showed himself out into the hallway. He took a deep breath, then, cautiously, stepped to the door of the room beside theirs. Was he really going to do this? Oriel sighed again, a subdued moan resonating in the back of his throat, before finally raising his arm and rapping against the wooden door. Oriel hated this….

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Woops... Gryph had heard something going in during their little... bout, but he hadn't exactly stopped the check. Kodi never said anything, so he thought it was nothing... he gave a sheepish chuckle as he caught the towel, sticking out his tongue, "Well... you can only blame yourself, numpty." He teased, before quickly recovering what he had said, "If I'd realised, I would have stopped." That much was obvious.

"Oh, yeah," Gryphon spoke with utter certainty, he was starving. The kiss made him smile dip his head a little, giving another one back, "Damn, I wish your kisses were nutritional, then I could just stay here and kiss you for ages." Not like that hadn't been happening already. He rolled his eyes at the complaint, still grinning softly, "Well, what did you expect, silly?" He gently touched their heads together, "Maybe I'm the intelligent one now."

As Kodi got started with getting changed, so did Gryph. He noticed the differences in their clothing, but said nothing about it. It would be rude to. Besides, Kodi would still be gorgeous no matter what he wore. Gryphon himself pulled out a few items and didn't go too far on the smart side, there was no need. The place might have been fancy and such but... he just needed to be smart enough, so he pulled on some clothes he was happy and comfortable with before turning his attention back to Kodi (and the mirror).

Gryphon giggled, "Well, you look hot and that's good enough for me." He eyed the eyeliner as usual, but said nothing, as usual. Kodi wasn't comfortable without it, and that was fine. He just... looked better without. By this point, that was an opinion Gryph was solid on. He peeked in the mirror as Kodi spoke, happy with himself before focusing on his boyfriend again, looping his arms loosely around his waist, "Mmm... it would be nice. I prefer it being just the pair of us." He leveled with Kodi to give him a slow, soft kiss, "I love you, Kodi."

And then he was interrupted by knocking. He assumed it could be a couple things, one of the options being less desirable than the others by a considerable amount. The winged man pecked Kodi's forehead and pulled away to get the door, looking through the peephole and sighing in annoyance at what he saw. Were those two fucking psychic or something? Regretting it the moment he touched the door handle, he opened the door for the scruffy haired individual, but not fully, his expression clearly unimpressed, "I hope this is good. What do you want?"

[Deleted]

Phoenix frowned at the tone of voice Oriel used when he spoke, and tucked the jacket closer against himself, feeling weirdly guilty. “I… I dunno either, I guess… I guess I just don’t wanna stand out too bad,” he mumbled. Being so close to the place where he’d been at one of his lowest points in life… Hanging out with those gangs… It made him feel like he needed to try extra hard to look okay here now. “You imagine whatever you want,” he giggled, pecking Oriel on the nose.

He beamed brighter as Oriel kept speaking. “You drive me crazy too~” he giggled, glomping onto the boy’s waist. Phoenix hadn’t been thinking about the other two at all. Yes, he’d worried somewhat about someone else looking at their window and seeing him, but… No one had come and complained, so no harm done, right?

Phen found a decent pair of pants to put on under his jacket as he watched Oriel start to get dressed too. “Hm? Where are you going?” he asked, mildly confused. Shuffling with a limp similar to Kodi’s, he trailed after his taller lover, peeking out the doorway to see where he was going. Was he… doing something with them…? He kept watching through the crack, curiosity piqued.

Kodi chuckled at Gryph’s various comments, amused. “Don’t let it all go t’your head,” he chided. “I still got some brains, you just make ‘em go all mushy somehow.” Yep, the moron had something magic about him that drove everything else from Kodi’s mind.

He posed a little, pleased with his new-ish hair. “Well, that’s good enough for me too,” Kodi chuckled before glancing over to his boyfriend. He whistled. “You look great, but what else would I expect?” When didn’t Gryph look perfect? When Gryph came close, Kodi nipped at him playfully. “Rawr~ ‘Course, I think you look hottest without anything on.” He looked at them in the mirror – Gryphon standing behind him, a few inches taller, with his arms resting on Gryph’s around him. Fuck… How’d he end up like this? “Mm… Me too,” he murmured, returning the kiss. “I love you too…” He let out a soft sigh, momentarily overwhelmed.

He stayed where he was for a moment when Gryph went to open the door, then trailed after more slowly, wondering what was going on. “Who is-?” he began to ask, but caught sight of the familiar mop of hair through the space in the door. “Oh.” His brow furrowed quizzically. “Hey, babe… You don’t gotta be… So rude…” He and Oriel were still friends, after all, and Kodi felt bad for him being mistreated… Even if Gryph had a good reason. “Uh… Hey, Oriel.” He stood behind Gryph and waited to see what the deal was. “… Phoenix too sore t’move?” He didn’t see the pixie, so he assumed as much. “Figures…”

[Deleted]

Oh, he would. Definitely. Phoenix was easily going to become nothing buy a display of eye-candy for the remainder of the night, an object of desire, a tool for feeding any and all of the spur-of-the-moment fantasies that may come up tonight. If he could get Phoenix worked up just from Oriel ogling him all night, then he would call that mission accomplished.

It was too bad Phoenix had to put on pants underneath that jacket. Oriel thought he looked better without.

“Not far,” he said shortly. “You stay here.” The last thing Oriel wanted was for Phoenix to see him embarrass himself. It was bad enough he was considering this in the first place. Oriel really should just…not care, like he always did.

He must’ve been getting soft. Had to happen sometime, he supposed, but what good was it supposed to do him? Just a hell-heap of awkward embarrassment that he didn’t want to put himself through. So once he knocked on the door to Gryphon and Kodi’s room, Oriel’s arms immediately crossed over his chest in a position of obvious discomfort. The initial hostility from Gryphon almost made Oriel have second thoughts about this…no, scratch that, he was having second thought, and third thoughts, and fourth thoughts even.

And then Kodi had to butt in before Oriel could even get a word out. Oriel had to stop himself from shooting the dentokinetic a fierce glare along with some snide comment. He took a breath. “Hey,” he said finally, sending Kodi a shallow nod. Why was he asking about Phoenix? Well, probably because Oriel was with Phoenix here on this trip, and he was hanging out next door with a throbbing, sore ass. “He’ll be fine, uh, hey listen…” Oriel jumped right into it before he could talk himself out of it. “….I got to talk to Gryph ‘bout something, mind if I borrow him a sec?” Of course he completely bypassed the man in question himself and just asked Kodi for the permissions as if he was the turkey’s keeper or something. Oriel strained a smile and forced himself to look back at Gryph. “I mean……” Ugh, words. “Can I please talk to you alone for a second?” His eyes darted away from the winged boy before he could finish out his request. Normally, Oriel wouldn’t have bothered asking, he’d just order the guy out into the hallway like a pushy, obnoxious brat and then start making demands. Things were just so much easier when he did it that way. Mumble grumble.

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

"You're being contradictory~" Gryph chimed, pouting, "You just said to not let things go to my head, and then told me I was special in some way - what am I supposed to think?!" He was overreacting, obviously. It was only joking, he'd been watching a lot of Korean variety shows so the exaggeration used in the programmes had just slid onto him. "Meanie."

Gryphon rolled his eyes, "You always say I look great, I don't know whether to believe you anymore." He said, smiling, "I mean, I could wear a... I don't know, a fucking trash bag and a shower cap and you'd still say I'm sexy." It was probably true. He chuckled, "Oh, I forgot about that. I'm not becoming a nudist, by the way." Noooo, he needed clothes. Decency~ it was necessary~

Gryph looked in the mirror as Kodi did and sighed in content. That was a picture he liked to see. He snuggled his lover closer, closing his eyes and nuzzling him a little after they kissed, "Good. We'd have a problem if you didn't." Cheeky butt. He smiled. He was simply happy, and that was more than enough.

He did wish that there wouldn't be any interruptions, but obviously the desire wasn't detected as he had to answer the door. Being chided by Kodi was... new. It was usually the other way around. He was going to disagree, but... the dentokinetic was right. Gryph wasn't being fair. He reached a hand back, hoping Kodi would notice and take it. Just because. He left them be, staying quiet during their short conversation, surprised by Oriel's semi-civil nature. His eyes narrowed when the taller kid asked Kodi if he could talk to Gryph. Hello? He was right in front of him. But... Oriel got the message before anything was said and, supposing Kodi had taken Gryphon's hand, he sighed, squeezing his boyfriend's hand before letting go, "Alright." He stepped out, peeking back at Kodi with a confused expression before closing the door and folding his arms, "What is it?" The winged man spoke with a nicer tone than he had before now. That was only fair.
