[Iskandar has never been so far north. He has never seen so much snow. It’s everywhere around. It covers every surface, trees, houses, everything. In the short daytime it’s white but it under the pale light of the bright moon in the much longer nights it glows almost a shade of blue. It’s eerie, unreal, and he loves it.

They already spent most of the day outside and the Sun is hanging low in the sky, almost grazing the horizon. It never climbed high during their stay, never reached full zenith as it does in the south. It’s yet another thing he’s so amazed by in this place.

It was Waver’s idea to come here. Iskandar leans down to whisper another thank you into his ear when he notices something that makes him chuckle.]

Your ears are all cold.

[He stays there until he's satisfied with the result. His hot breath working its magic on the frigid skin. Only then he moves to warm Waver's other ear.]

Now, that's better.

[Long hair isn't a substitute for ear muffs or a hat, Waver is coming to find. Not that his ears are hurting... they're just a bit numb and flushed as red as his cheeks. Snow crunches under his boots as he leans in; Iskandar radiates heat, despite both of them being wrapped up for the wintry conditions.]

Mmm... planning on warming me up further when we get in?

[Mulled wine, the venison roast turning on a spit they'd been promised for their dinner tonight, their room with the small rustic fireplace and the inviting bed with thick blankets... all are options for that warming up.

He sighs, content.]

It's so quiet up here. [Noise muffled by all the snow. He's used to the city and all the constant background noise that comes with it. It's startling being away from it, where the main noises are the wind, the creak of evergreen shouldering snow, the brief clear shots of birdsong.] Truly lovely.

Ha! Indeed, I do. You have uncovered my secret plan.

[Iskandar takes full advantage of the situation and wraps his arms around Waver pulling him closer. The winter clothing makes everything a little more awkward but he doesn't mind. This place is magical. He can handle a little discomfort for such sights. And the company is superb.]

As far as I remember we should have dinner waiting for us when we arrive. That should help too.

[Now that he has Waver in his arms he can further exploit his position. He leans down to steal a kiss. It should be no surprise when it gets longer than he planned. He's a greedy man. Once he starts kissing his gorgeous lover he can't stop just like that. And he was trying to behave on their way here.]

I still can't believe you've never been here before. How did you even find this place?

They were quite excited about the menu, too. We should be in for a treat tonight at the restaurant.

[A hunger eagerly anticipated too. They're both greedy and Waver is in the mood to feast in all ways after a day outdoors. Waver lingers on every kiss, pulling closer, encouraged into his own misbehavior by Iskandar. Food first, though.

He smiles cheekily as his next kiss aims for Iskandar's nose, rising on his toes. His eyebrows raise.]

Believe it or not, I saw this place while channel surfing. [Then he snorts, amused by the memory. Waver was bored and the footie on the BBC was at half time. That snippet of the travel show he had caught between cooking show reruns, godawful panel discussions, and some soapy drama that could have been Coronation Street's ugly twin, snagged his attention, as he had already been musing about places he could take his husband to that would be entirely new experiences for him in all ways.] I got on Google, did a little digging, and discovered the site for this place.

Getting it for Christmas was just a bonus.

[Waver's pretty sure his luck stat jumped a rank just for the booking. Neither of them celebrate the holiday, but that doesn't make the competition for rooms any less fierce.]

Edited (last edit I swear D:) Date: 2019-11-27 04:42 pm (UTC)

[Iskandar chuckles when he gets a kiss on the nose. It's just sweet. He cherishes every moment when Waver behaves so care-free. They are rare gems. And he can get a hint... sometimes, if he wants too. Right now he does as it is, indeed, freezing so suggestion to move inside is a perfectly reasonable one.]

Fine, then let's find out what made them so excited.

[Iskandar releases Waver from his embrace but keeps one arm wrapped around his waist. That's as much concession to modesty as he's willing to make. A curious thing. Since the moment they got off the plane, not a person has as much as bat an eyelash at them for being affectionate in public. Even if Iskandar can't shake the impression that the natives belong to a rather reserved crowd, he and Waver haven't received a single condemning stare. Iskandar could swear some people even smiled at them the way one usually smiles at happily married couples. That doesn't happen often elsewhere.]

On TV?! How did you ... This place must be booked for months in advance!

[He laughs shaking his head. Leave it to Waver to do something widely considered impossible.]

You are a true miracle worker, my love.

Uh... [RED. Flustering.] Starting to fight it out for a cabin in July helped. Definitely.

[Why yes, he had been plotting for months. And it had been a nail biter. Even for the plane tickets (there was no way he was going to have Iskandar's first international plane trip be in coach. or any plane trip for that matter.) He laughs softly, recovering from the fluster.]

Still a miracle.

[He leans into Iskandar as his husband's arm tightens around his waist and they continue along the path to the restaurant. There's been no hushed whispers or pointed looks or even polite silent disapproval (when they're noticed) like in Japan. It's been nice. Relaxing. Feels safe to be more affectionate in public; cuddling where everyone can see has definitely been happening.

There's sudden whoops and hollers coming from the trees ahead. A snowball flies. Children dash out in front of them chased by weary parents heading to the same destination: the main lodges where the restaurants and other amenities can be found. The mother offers them a wry smile before dashing off - they're little terrors at this age, right?

Waver whistles lowly as soon as they're out of range.]

It never ceases to surprise me how much energy they have at that age.

Don’t sell yourself short. It is a marvellous achievement.

[Of course he did. Iskandar suspected it was not exactly the spur of the moment decision. Luck or not, a trip to a place half a globe away is quite an endeavour and as such requires its due amount of logistics. Long term planning is a thing they both do but logistics is something Waver absolutely excels at.

Other then making people do what he wants. Even the unsympathetic or actively hostile people.
Certainly, his time at the dreaded Clock Tower provided him with ample opportunities for practicing his skill but it takes a particular talent to even start. If he was able to cajole the mages into doing his bidding while thinking they’re doing it out they’re own volition... well, the poor ladies and gentlemen employed by the hotels or airline companies stand no chance.

The squealing and running happens before he can comment on the matter further. The tired smiles of the parents remind Iskandar of the tales of his own early years. He doesn’t remember them of course but he was told many a time how nigh impossible it was to keep him contained. So contrary to Waver he’s not surprised by the energetic stampede that runs past them.]

I surely was a menace at that age. I’d given poor Lanike more than a fair share of worry with my antics.

[If that wasn’t enough, his nurse had to deal with his mother being severely disappointed by her inability to keep him in place and out of trouble. No amount of reasoning, explaining or apologising could placate Olympias. He had to be found, had to go and spend the rest of the day with her so she would maybe stop hissing at everything and everyone like a slighted goddess.
That he remembers all too well.
To his greatest relief, now he’s as far from her unpredictable moods as he could ever be.
He turns his gaze to Waver.]

Straight to the restaurant or do you want to go have a shower and change into something more appropriate for fine dining ?

[That’s only a question on the surface because he already knows what Waver will say. They both dressed for warmth not style. Though in case of his beautiful husband Iskandar would argue. Waver looks as good in a wool sweater as he does in finest suits. It’s just his natural charm that makes clothing choices irrelevant.
But shower gives Iskandar a pretext to get him naked before the evening starts in the earnest. That’s not a chance he’d be willing to let go easily. It’s been a long day and he yearns for Waver’s slender body in his arms. Later they can go eat but not even the most sumptuous of meals can possibly satisfy this hunger.]

[The red deepens for a moment and Waver tugs - once, twice - on the scarf encircling his neck. It wasn't that - oh, oh, okay, be kinder to himself. Right. He smiles back sheepish.

Thankfully the children continue to be the perfect distraction. Waver chuckles.]

I believe it. There were times where your younger self could put the Energizer Bunny to shame. [He had been an exuberant young teen - exhausting to keep up with - but Waver wouldn't have traded it for the world. Also very cute, but Waver saves that bit of teasing for now.] Though compared to Flat and Svin? I'm sure you were an angel.

[Speaking of true menaces he loves anyway. The mood turns reflective for a moment.]

Now... me? I was a quiet one, mostly.

[A sickly child, through and through. Besides he had been often indoors with Grandmother or cooped in his own room, learning the craft and studying when not. Play was an alien thing - and it wasn't like his parents were ever eager to goad him into it, absent as they were. Neither were teachers with so many children to manage - his peers avoided him, strange and quiet as he was when they weren't picking on him.

But that's the past.

Waver huffs in amusement as the conversation turns again. He bumps his hip against Iskandar's.]

Getting that secret plan rolling, hmm? I wouldn't mind getting thawed out and cleaned up first. I'm all sweaty. [Then he smirks because he knows you, Iskandar. He hears the subtext loud and clear.] Besides... you've been playing in the snow all day. You must feel like a block of ice right now.

[Snow crunches as he raises on tip toes to whisper huskily in Iskandar's ear.]

I'll warm you up. No hot water required.

Oho! Did I just witness you taking a compliment without protesting? What a lucky man I am! I shall drink to that victory tonight!

[Even if Iskandar laughs as he says that, he is not joking. It is a long struggle, and an arduous one at that, to undo the years upon years of damage that suffering the maltreatment from the other mages - most of them not worth half a hair from his head - has done to Waver and his self-image. For Waver to see himself as he - his king, friend, and lover - sees him is Iskandar’s long term goal. The one he’s determined to achieve no matter the hardships on the way. He considers any progress a victory, no matter how small.

There's an expression that Waver has only when he talks about his students. Calm? No, not calm. Iskandar heard enough stories to believe they were a real menace. So calm is not a good description but content? That one is quite correct. Content and proud. They must have felt so safe with him if they allowed themselves to spread such chaos without inhibition. But they had a teacher he never did but should have got.

Waver was nothing like them. For many reasons. Iskandar still smiles.]

I always pictured you as such. You’re the scholarly type. Of course, you’d be the quiet child.

[But he doesn't get to dwell on it too long because Waver is right there, whispering to his ear, boiling his blood with just two sentences.]

Would you now? I can’t wait. I'm, as you said, completely frozen.

[He could kiss him, he wants to, but that would interfere with his plan to get them both to the cabin really fast. He can’t think about anything else.

So Waver shouldn’t be surprised when Iskandar picks him up from the ground; fully intending to carry him all the way to the cabin.]

[There's a bit of a yelp that breaks into a laugh as Waver's swept off his feet. That? That he should have seen coming. Tempt Iskandar's hunger and he'll be thoroughly focused on a feast. Not that Waver's much better. Iskandar's excitement only spurs his own as he loops his arms around his husband as the Caster is practically bridal carried off in a hurry towards their cabin and the waiting bed inside.

He presses his cheek against Iskandar's and nuzzles, tender.]

Perhaps you did.

[Blush.]

Lucky men are both of us tonight. [A kiss against the side of Iskandar's temple.] Because I am so, so lucky.

[He got his king back. Iskandar has been with him every step of the way as he wrestles with decades worth of abuse and fights his way out. He chose him as his lover and husband. Waver will never stop being grateful for miracles, both big and small, and every moment of every day where he can be beside the one he loves above all else.

Waver smiles as he continues kissing Iskandar's face, trailing little pecks along his jaw. It won't interfere with getting them to the cabin if he does it. In fact, it will only provide encouragement to pick up the pace.

(and prove Waver's sense of shame is well on its way to being utterly dead, out in full view as they are)]

Mmmm. I can tell. [Waver gently nips the lobe of Iskandar's ear between his teeth and sucks. Warming up? More like helping Iskandar to boil.] That won't do.

[(... so very, very on its way... good thing the cabin's close.)]

Edited Date: 2019-12-09 05:26 am (UTC)

[The cabin is close and Iskandar's stride is long. It doesn't take much time for him to reach his destination. Getting inside, however, poses a bit of logistical challenge as he has to fish out the room card from his pocket. The most practical solution would be to put Waver on the ground. He'd have both hands free and the operation would be quick and simple as usual.

They both know this is not going to happen.

So it requires no small amount of dexterity but Iskandar makes an attempt. The attempt that, to his utter dismay, fails. The next logical thing to do would be to really put Waver on the ground. Then he could take the card out, they would be inside in a matter of seconds and could continue without further interruptions. And yet King of Conquerors is anything if not stubborn. Now that he has his husband in his arms he's incredibly unwilling to let go of him.

What he is willing to do is to ask for assistance.]

Waver, love, could reach to my back pocket and take our room card out?

[Keeping important items in the back pocket of his pants is the worst idea ever so, of course, he did exactly that.]

[Worst idea? If one is horny and impatient, maybe...

But it also might prove unexpectedly fruitful as Waver shifts, hand sliding across Iskandar's hip to his ass as he reaches around to feel which pocket the card is in. He accidentally-on-purpose squeezes a cheek, before his fingers slip into the pocket, fishing for the card.]

Give me a minu-- aha!

[He's just going to wiggle that out and twist to swipe it through the lock. There's a resounding click as the door unlocks and Iskandar's weight against it and the press against the handle does the rest.

They're in.

Waver's not going to waste any time once the door shuts. He's immediately after the zipper of Iskandar's coat with a hungry growl, flinging his scarf across the room to land on the couch. His own blood is running hot enough that he doesn't have the patience for a strip tease and he doubts Iskandar does either. Maybe later, after dinner, when both their appetites have been whetted. When they're more inclined to draw things out.

His pants are rapidly tenting, cock giving a twitch within. He smiles up, chasing another kiss as he continues to work at getting Iskandar's clothes off.]

[Impatient? Oh, that's a perfect word for it.

Iskandar laughs as he feels Waver's hand on his butt. Quite mischevious for someone so usually reserved. He loves it. He wants to kiss that perfect hand, every single finger, his wrist...how he loves those slender wrists. He will. Soon.

The door gives in and they're inside. Yes. Finally.

Only there Iskandar lets Waver to stand on his own. Though it doesn't mean he lets go of him. He allows maybe an inch of distance between them. Maybe even less. Neither of them waits for the door to shut before starting to undress the other. The red scarf flies across the room as Iskandar unbuttons Waver's coat, frees him from it before throwing it aside. They'll worry about it later. Not now. Not when he can finally go and cover Waver's now exposed neck with kisses. When he can claim his lips. Sink his fingers into his lover's silky hair.

He needs both of their pants off, and he needs them off now. Truly, this garment must be the work of the devil. How much more simple it would if they both were wearing chitons! The mere thought of Waver in chiton makes Iskandar's blood boil as if it wasn't close to boiling enough already. A long moan escapes him.

There are too many layers of clothes on both of them still. They dressed for warmth, not for ease of shedding those clothing and now Iskandar wishes they did the opposite. He struggles with the zipper of Waver's sweater for a moment, seconds barely, but it feels like the eternity. He yearns for the touch of his skin. Needs it more than the air to breath.

Impatient? Yes. And very, very hungry.]

[Waver pants as Iskandar attacks his neck, a whine escaping him as yes, the both of them are far, far too clothed. The thick knit of Iskandar's sweater is underneath his fingers and he pulls frantically even as his own is unzipped.

Somehow they manage to co-ordinate enough to get the offending garments off. It's a near impossible task as both of them hunger for contact, the press of skin against skin, lips against lips. The pants will be worse, because they first need to get out of their boots.

Waver could go for a chiton right now. It wouldn't get in the way of what he desperately wants and needs.

The fire crackles merrily as boots thunk against the floor, discarded. Waver fumbles with Iskandar's fly, distracted, before there's the purr of metal and his hand goes straight for the prize, underwear and pants be damned.]

... bed. Bed now.

[On second thought, the wall or the rug in front of the fire works just as well. The bed may just be too far.]

[Iskandar leans into the touch with a long exhale. His hips moving without him making any conscious decision. Oh, yes. That's the way...]

Waver...

[His voice coarse and strained with want. They might not make it to bed though.]

Can't. Too far.

[Iskandar has spotted the rug in front of the fire and has already made plans to use it. Later when he'll have more patience. When he will be able to fully appreciate the softness of the fur, the warmth of the fire and the golden light that seeps from it. Later, when he won't be blinded by this almost feral lust.

The wall it is.

It is just Iskandar's luck that when he looks around in this maddened state, dreading that they will have to go to bedroom anyway, he sees a bottle of scented oil on the top of the low cabinet right on the other side of the door. They haven't finished unpacking yet. Whatever decision process led to leaving the bottle there it feels like a divine intervention now.

Then comes the complicated operation of retrieving the bottle, unscrewing it and smearing the oil on his hands and cock. It is a necessary delay though. While nothing can stop Iskandar from fully satisfying their shared hunger he still wants his gorgeous husband to scream in pleasure and not pain. There are precautions he won't omit no matter how starved he is.

Waver is already trembling in his arms as Iskandar slides one slick finger inside him. They are so accustomed to each other it is not really needed. He likes to do it anyway. He likes to touch him, to feel his lovers prostate harden under his touch. To get Waver ready for their union as they reach the very edge of pleasure together.

So its only fingers now. Touching, caressing, working Waver open.]

Here then.

[Wall it is.

Waver's kicking away the pants from around his ankle when he hears the whisper soft grind of a lid being unscrewed and scents the oil in the air. He presses back into Iskandar, grinding as he trembles in his arms, breathing heavy. Like Iskandar, he's a few inches away from losing it completely.

He braces one palm against the wall as his legs spread for Iskandar, both for ease of access and stability. His cock bobs with the movement, flushed and full, and he keens as the first finger is slipped in, precum welling up as Iskandar strokes within him just right.

He twists slightly to devour his husband's lips with kisses, moaning with sheer need for Iskandar to take him, urgency increasing the longer he's fingered open. He can feel Iskandar hard against him; his King is trembling with the restraint of holding back. There's something wild in his eyes; it's reflected in Waver's own.]

-- aaahhh... Christ!

Iskandar, please!

[Iskandar is no longer able to answer with words. So no words but a long growl like a rolling thunder.
He likes to go slow, to give his husband time to adjust and himself a chance to savour the experience. It's not something he's capable of now. They're both too maddened with desire.

So it all happens fast. Iskandar grips Waver's hips and pushes inside him. Lips finding lips. Iskandar's hand leaving Waver's hip, sliding down his stomach to close around his leaking cock, matching the frantic pace of Iskandar's thrusts.

Iskandar groans as he hangs on the very edge. So close to pleasure, it's almost painful. Time seems to slow down to a crawl or stop completely. Then the sweet release. That moment of pure extasy that sets all of his nerves alight. The sound of Waver's voice as he comes. And then it's over.

Iskandar pulls away, still shaking and exhausted, but so indescribably satisfied. He picks Waver up and carries him to bed where he wraps them both in warm blankets. Only there he can kiss his love properly; long, and deep, and slow. Letting them both cherish every moment of it.

Dinner will have to wait just a bit more.]

[Waver cries out as he's breached and Iskandar's hand closes around his cock, hips rocking back to match Iskandar's thrusts and fucking forward into the tight, oil-slicked roughness of his husband's fist at the same frantic pace. He chases kiss after kiss, restraint an alien thing, consumed by hunger and ever mounting ecstasy.

It can't last long. They're too keyed up. It doesn't. It feels like an eternity, though, as they hang on the edge, each pushing each other forward. Then. They fall together. Waver shouts, clenching around Iskandar; Iskandar thrusts deep, hold tightening on Waver as he shakes. The world is scored away by fire - racing through him, shooting out, blooming within - sweet annihilation.

Then it's over, and Waver sags in Iskandar's arms shaking as his lover pulls out.

He cracks open an eye. UH. He sure came over the wall, didn't he? Fuck... housekeeping... surely housekeeping's seen worse. Waver doesn't have too much time to be embarrassed over it, as Iskandar's sweeping him up in his arms and off to bed. He'd honestly rather pay attention to his husband, especially when they're wrapped in warm blankets and curled around each other.

Waver's toes curl delightedly, and he wraps a leg around Iskandar's as they continue to kiss and savor the moment. He presses close, finger teasing down a bicep and following the path laid out by a scar, as he lets out an utterly satisfied sigh.

He's forgotten about dinner. For the moment.]

Mmm... that was good.

[It's not going to be enough for tonight. Not with how ravenous they just were. But the edge is off. They can linger over the rest of their pleasures now.]

It was.

[Iskandar purrs right back at him. His voice dripping with mellow contentment.]

One could easily get an impression we haven’t seen each other for months. And what was it? Ten hours?

[He chuckles, fully aware it's not exactly so. They both have been starving for interrupted time together much longer. End of the year is a busy time for both humans and gods alike. He could count on one hand the times when he didn’t come back to the Temple in the evening to find Waver already asleep, or worse, not even there yet.
He lets his hand slide down idly stroking Waver’s leg that’s wrapped around him as he holds his husband close with the other. As if he hasn't already memorized every feature, every inch of this perfect body. Waver is a beauty like no other and Iskandar can never have enough of him.]

It felt like months to me. I don't even remember when we had a chance to sit to a proper meal together.

[It’s so natural for Waver to dive headfirst into overwork... and there’s always something to do. People always have more needs and wants that is ever feasible to fulfill.
It’s easy to get lost in it. Iskandar remembers the time when he was guilty of such behaviour himself. It hapenned many times in the past before he learned how to guard his time more deliberately. Much is expected, even more outright demanded, of king. It’s no different with gods.]

I want to spend more time with you, love. Play video games, read, anything, just with you.

[There is no need for hushed voices and yet Iskandar lowers his voice to a whisper as if he was sharing the world’s greatest secret with his lover. His lips almost touching Waver's ear.]

I want to make love to you under starlight.

Less.

[Horrifically busy times; their followers have gone up as well. While that brings them both power, prestige, and everything else that comes from popularity, their free time has dwindled as duty has called. He was never allowed time as Lord - it's difficult now as a god to figure out that balance. He's trying, but conking out before Iskandar returns or arriving late at the Temple because of one thing or another is starting to get frustrating. The only mercy is that they now have a joint Temple (which sits very well with Temple.)

Waver's sure if it keeps up, they'll have to look at bringing in more shinki into their household (something neither of them are at all thrilled with given their views) or outsourcing, or something.

They're both dead and this is now their second lives. He wants to be able to live them.]

We've been run off our feet. So many damn things... [That leg tightens against Iskandar as it's stroked, revealing newly won muscle. Waver pushes closer in a slow arch, needing skin contact like air.] I don't remember either. Or the last time we had a game marathon or sat and enjoyed a movie...

[They needed this vacation desperately.]

Or the last time we lingered over lovemaking.

[Speaking of... the moment Iskandar's lips nearly touch Waver's ear and he whispers about starlight in the tone of confessing a deeply held secret, has Waver inhaling sharply, heat spiking through his veins.]

I want to take back our time... as much as we can with our duties. I want to savor every bit of the world with you. I want us to be able go to the theater, game, dance... all those things that make life worth living.

[And then he shifts to pin Iskandar in a kiss.]

Like making love under starlight.

[A little surprised but Iskandar kisses back with equal fierceness. They have all the time in the world now, or at least a week, to do whatever pleases them. No duties, no prayers, nothing. Just the two of them. Good food, beautiful landscape around them, and a big comfortable bed.]

Which is exactly what I intend to do since you have found us such a perfect spot for it.

[He lifts his hand and lets his fingers brush Waver's cheek, trace the line of his jaw, his neck, his shoulder. A path he traversed thousands of times. It would be another million before he tires of it.]

Later. I believe we might still have dinner waiting for us and I actually could eat something.

[That short burst of passion was hardly enough to make up for what was long overdue for both of them. Though it did allow Iskandar to stop thinking exclusively of sex. To remember that they were out all day on nothing but a few meager sandwiches, their last meal was breakfast and said breakfast could not, even if one was to be extremely generous, be called a feast. While not strictly necessary, even gods do better when they eat.]

So shower, dinner and when we'll be sufficiently nourished, we come back here to check this stars' viewing spot. [Though the chance that Iskandar's attention would be on the stars and not fully on his gorgeous husband is very low.] What do you think about such a plan?

I think it's a perfect plan.

[Waver arches into the touch like a cat into a caress, a contented subvocal purr more felt than heard rising from him as Iskandar's fingers travel from his cheek to his shoulder. He strokes down Iskandar's chest before pushing himself and bending to nuzzle just as feline-like, forehead against forehead.]

Share the shower with me? I believe it's big enough for the both of us. We'll get to dinner faster.

[Now there isn't going to be hot water, but Iskandar enjoys the pleasure of washing the Caster's hair and Waver won't pass up a chance to scrub his husband and otherwise get his hands over him.

His fingers of one hand tease feather light down, stroking a circle across abs, before lightly resting them against Iskandar's stomach. Playful in a way Waver only is when he's in an excellent mood. Or in one that guarantees that neither of them will be sleeping much at all until they've fully satisfied their passions.]

[The purr sends shivers down his spine resonating deep in his bones. Iskandar chuckles, eyes half-close, his hands already sinking into the silky softness of Waver's hair when their foreheads meet. His blood turns to liquid fire again under his husband's touch.]

Yes, my love. Great idea. Very practical.

[It's infinitely tempting to push the hand on his stomach lower. Iskandar is not a man of much restraint. Frankly, he doubts he has any when it comes to succumbing to his desires. And all that he desires right now is to make love to Waver again. He's well aware that it would completely obliterate their plan to get dinner before the restaurant stops serving it. He knows that.
He also knows that almost nothing is such a mood killer as one's growling stomach. He doesn't want to ruin their stars gazing moment by something so easily preventable.

Truly the final evidence that he has indeed ascended to godhood lies with the fact that he's even able to tear himself away from his husband. Only by some divine exercise of will can he manage to sit pulling Waver with him.]

Come. If I spend a second longer in this bed we won't be going anywhere.

[Cold shower is a must if he's to even string two coherent thoughts together. A useful skill when the plan is to go out and talk to other people. Iskandar lets out a disappointed sigh. This is way too difficult. They should order room service next time.]

[Room service is easier when they aren't in a cabin surrounded by snow. One singular flaw in Waver's plans.

There's a bit of a playful pout as he's pulled to sit. But otherwise Waver behaves, tossing back his tossled hair back over his back, hiding the massive burn scar spilling down it from view. Yes, time for a godly exhibit of restraint.]

I won't tempt you a second longer, love. [Definitely in that kind of mood.] Until later.

[Maybe over dinner a bit to build the anticipation.

(Iskandar, you are creating a monster here)

But up out of bed, and padding along to the shower Waver goes. Cold shower is a must here too. Next time, he'll plan better for their rampant appetites. Room service, definitely, next time.]

[That small detail escaped their attention but it is too late to worry about it now. Iskandar chuckles at Waver's dramatic hair toss. He catches a loose strand between his fingers releasing it only after he managed to plant a kiss on Waver's naked shoulder.]

I hardly think that's even possible. I am forever tempted by you. [Definitely over dinner, he counts on it.

(Waver, dear, how nice of you to appreciate all the hard work he's doing here.)

To shower it is. Iskandar would love to spend more time tending to Waver's hair but he is distracted. His hands just keep wandering all over his husbands back, neck and shoulders. He has to hold back not let himself venture lower. Cold water is indeed a blessing but it's barely enough. So he has to hurry. They are out of the shower and dressing up a lot faster than he'd like. He takes his solace in the knowledge that once they've eaten he'd have all the time in the world to enjoy what he has to postpone now.
