keep it covered, I need you to run to me
It had been a few days since the party at Semele's, which of course meant it had been a few days for Darrow to see that Krem's life had gone sideways in the worst kind of ways. Still, he was well aware that dwelling on his anxieties wasn't going to solve anything. After he'd discovered Aggie's disappearance, he'd been vocal in his protest against the statements that those that had disappeared had just, like so many others, returned home. The whole mess of it stank. And he'd dealt with enough corrupt situations to know the stink of it when he encountered it. But tonight wasn't about that. He'd done everything that he could for now. And for now, all he could do was wait and hope.
So he'd let Thomas know that he had an evening and day off in a row--a rare occurrence for him, and he planned to spend the day tomorrow filled with looking for Aggie again; but that could wait until after Thomas headed home. He knew that Thomas worked, but he let him know that the doors was open, that he was welcome to let himself in when he got here. He wasn't entirely sure when Thomas got off of work, supposing it probably depended on any number of things, but it wasn't as if Krem was likely to fall asleep.
He did wonder if he ought to put anything out in anticipation or presumption of the rest of the evening, but somehow that seemed to be asking a little too much. At this point, he'd just be glad to have Thomas there. More than ever, the quiet of the apartment was getting to him, and it would be good to have someone else there, even if just for the night, someone to be some sort of reassurance that things would be alright.
He curled up in the corner of the couch and waited, a book in his lap that he was only sort of reading.

"We can watch a movie, sure," Thomas said agreeably. "Did you have something in mind? Something you wanted to watch?"
no subject
It hadn't even occurred to him that, perhaps, he might miss the mark phrasing something like that. He laid there, covering his face, and thought he might just melt from the heat on his cheeks.
"Pornography," he mumbled into his palms. "I meant pornography."
no subject
"We can -- we can try that," Thomas said, still agreeable and curious, if he was honest. "I've never watched anything like that before. They weren't exactly around back home."
no subject
"Like I said," Krem mumbled behind his hands again, "if it's too ridiculous, we can just make fun of it. Or turn it off. I--it's a silly idea."
If he ever crawled out from behind his hands again.
no subject
"I wanna watch and whether we do...stuff from the movie or we make fun of it, it'll still be good," Thomas murmured. "It's okay."
no subject
"I just figured," he said, looking at Thomas now, "that it was sort of what you meant, when you suggested it. Even if we were just joking. Pictures or movies or--that sort of thing?"
He was quiet a second longer before he flushed, all dark and nervous. "And apparently there's a whole niche market out there, for guys like me."
The implicit implication there was, of course, that he'd already watched some of these videos.
no subject
He shrugged and glanced over at Krem's computer. "You've found one that you -- that you think we'll like? That might be good for research and stuff?"
no subject
He reached up and cupped Thomas's cheek, leaning up and kissing him very softly. It felt strange, with the ring in his lip, but not unpleasant at all. He let out a soft, pleased noise, just to share that soft kiss, and then sat up more fully to grab his computer.
"I might have found a, a couple." That was another embarrassing admission, though it seemed less embarrassing now that they'd moved on a little.
no subject
He glanced over at the computer again. "A couple, huh? Been doing research without me?"
no subject
"I couldn't rely on my imagination for everything," he murmured bashfully.
It was easier, then, to open the computer and navigate to where he had the videos saved. There was only a handful of them--not just with men like him, with all sorts of people, but he pulled up one that he'd found earliest.
Still feeling a little embarrassed, Krem shifted on the bed as the video started with the two young men introducing themselves and talking so candidly about what they liked sexually. He normally skipped all this, but for now he gently adjusted himself and Thomas so they could sit against the top of the bed and put the computer on the blanket in front of them.
no subject
So, he leaned forward, brow furrowed while he chewed on his lower lip. It seemed pretty run of the mill right now though he couldn't stop the blush from rising on his cheeks.
He glanced at Krem briefly before his eyes went back to the movie and what was happening on the screen.
no subject
The film shifted from the two young men talking to them kissing and touching each other, stripping out of their clothes, and Krem was back to his bashfulness. He'd liked the film initially, the first time he'd watched it, because both of the actors in it smiled a lot, they seemed to enjoy each other, they were friendly and gentle and kind; they were also pretty, their bodies just a little soft, the young transgender man still built with his breasts and a bit of curve to his body. Now, with someone else beside him, all those things seemed shallow and silly.
He curled his knees up to his chest and watched Thomas quietly instead of the movie.
no subject
He laughed though and glanced at Krem, finding Krem watching him. The blush on his cheeks deepened and he looked down before looking back up at Krem through his eyelashes.
"You're watching me," he murmured, turning back to the movie and tilting his head. "I'm not as good as this movie, I'm sure."
no subject
He ran his fingers gently along his arms, glancing at the screen as the actors moved through a gambit of things that, at least, he and Thomas had already accomplished. They'd learned touching each other already, though watching it from an outside perspective was an interesting one.
"I've already seen it," Krem reminded Thomas softly. He nuzzled behind his ear gently, running his hands down to Thomas's, twining their fingers gently. "I was seeing how you thought of it."
no subject
Thomas licked his lips and couldn't stop himself from shivering at the nuzzling and the touch. He bit his lip.
"I could never do something like this," he said before realizing how that sounded. "What I mean is I couldn't...be with someone and have it filmed. I'd never manage to stop blushing. I can -- I can watch though."
no subject
Krem slid one of his hands to Thomas's thigh, still only touching. He split his attention more evenly now between Thomas and the movie, where things were starting to ramp up beyond simple touch. It was still things they'd done to each other, though things were progressing quickly toward the inevitable next step.
"You know," Krem said softly, "we don't have to do anything different than what we have already? I like what we do. The kissing and touching we do. It's good."
no subject
"But I want to know how to do other things too," Thomas told him soundly. "Maybe I won't be any good or I'll be nervous to try immediately but I want to know and I want to -- want to at least see what we can do together."
no subject
"I like the things you do," Krem said softly. "I trust you. It will be good."
no subject
"And you're distracting," he said, laughing and turning his head slightly towards Krem. "Trying to take my mind off this movie or something, shank?"
no subject
He smiled when Thomas looked at him, his palm moving slowly and gently over the front of Thomas's jeans. Somehow this felt more easy than anything else--they'd done this, he sort of knew what Thomas liked about this now--but just as embarrassing, with the movie still going on.
"I'm not stopping you watching it," he said softly, lips still close to Thomas's skin.
He glanced over to the screen, just in time to see that the two men had just started to fuck. The trans man, sprawled out on his back with his legs curled up and taking it, let out a rapturous noise, and Krem flushed darkly, watching for a moment as he kept touching Thomas through the fabric of his jeans.
no subject
"It's hard to watch a movie when you're touching me and kissing me," Thomas pointed out, licking his lips and peering over at the television. His eyes widened at the sight that greeted him and he made a little sound in the back of his throat.
no subject
"I'm not nearly that flexible," Krem said, laughing softly against Thomas's shoulder. He had plenty of flexibility, but he didn't think he could bend his legs up the way that he'd seen in half the pornographic videos he'd seen, clearly done to show off angles rather than for the actual sex acts. But he hoped the sort of playful tone would diffuse any nerves Thomas might have about watching and being touched at the same time.
no subject
He smiled and leaned forward, trying to catch Krem's lips with his. Even without being able to see the screen, he could still hear what was going on and that was affecting. His cheeks and neck were going to be permanently red, he guessed, and there were goosebumps popping up on his arms and shoulders now.
no subject
He eased Thomas's jeans open, slipping his hand inside to touch Thomas's cock. He didn't break the kiss, not just yet, even opening his mouth just a little bit so it could go deeper. It felt different with the piercing on his lip, but still good.
no subject
He lurched closer, deepening the kiss as much as he could in their current positions. His hips wanted to move, to surge forward and ask for more pressure but he managed to keep at least one thing in control.
