[ These quarters are sparsely decorated: two cots, two chests, a table with chairs, and a desk -- nothing to knock or jostle as Richard is bolstered back. He’s busy digging his hands up under cloth for the lay of muscle over and under Gideon’s ribs, grasping at the heat and strength in him on his way down in wrestling pursuit of a belt buckle. It’s disorderly, desperate.
Unbecoming, for a snake.
But Gideon’s stretch upward makes it easier, as does their shared sense of urgency. Maybe they’ll make it to the bed.
Until then, it’s all clawing and biting and fighting clothes off against this wall in the dark. ]
[Perhaps they make it to the bed, or to the floor, or perhaps they just stay against the wall, but when all is said and done (or just done), the affair ends as innocuously as it began.
Without speaking a word, Gideon adjusts his clothing, straightens, and takes his leave. One last inscrutable glance toward Dick as the brother lets himself out is all the acknowledgment he gives.]
[ Stark naked and lean with half his collected clothing in hand, Richard watches Gideon glance back in the same strange silence. There’s a glimpse of red gleaming off the backs of his eyes from light spilled in through the open door -- terminated not when the door closes, but just before it does when he looks sharply away to the sound of Adrasteia II the nug ripping a little stuttering toot from her box, replete with a poff of sparks.
