The smile he gets in return for his words is one he knows well; one genuine, loving, and that he adores seeing. One that makes him glad and fills him with relief, much like the quick kiss that follows it...
[break][break]
Despite its quickness, it’s easily reciprocated and returned, Cian’s next words then making Mars smirk.
[break][break]
”Oh. Hold on a minute there… getting sick so you nurse me back to health might be worth it. With the outfit and everything?”
[break][break]
He chuckles, and this time, he’s the one who tugs Cian along, because no matter how tempting that may sound in the realm of his imagination, he really doesn’t want either of them to catch a cold.

"don't you even think about it."

he pouts, allowing himself to be tugged along. it's a good thing his place isn't far from the gym at all. it's primarily why he had rented it in the first place because commuting sucks.

soon enough, they arrive at his apartment, and it's as plain as it could look.

"welcome home."

The pout is adorable, as they walk down to Cian’s apartment, Mars finds himself smiling, all of those negative emotions from earlier being as if washed away. Things are not perfect, he knows as much, but they are much better like this – even if there’s still some uneasiness.
[break][break]
There are things they should talk about. Things that occupy his mind, things he wants to clarify, and things he needs to tell Cian. But, for now, he’s just glad to be at Cian’s apartment, and the words that come when the door opens bring warmth upon his heart.
[break][break]
Home.
[break][break]
Plain as it may be, Mars finds himself thinking that he wouldn’t mind it if this were actually his home, because it really does feel like it with Cian here by his side.
[break][break]
”It’s good to be back.”
[break][break]
A smile, and a squeeze of his hand.
[break][break]
”So, shower?”

it's not much — it's not anything, really — but it's enough.

"shower."

he smiles, agreeing before leading them towards the bathroom. he draws the curtains open on the way just so he wouldn't have to turn on the lights.

"and then we can order something because i'm starving."

doesn't mars have to work today?

Mars does have work, even if he said he likely wouldn’t make it back to the office until the afternoon. He actually probably has a lot to do, considering how he took all of yesterday off for the sake of spending Cian’s birthday with him. However, none of those things are important at this moment. Cian will always matter more than work, and that should be obvious.
[break][break]
Plus, how could he want to get back to work when being with him? The thought of working barely even crosses Mars’ mind, honestly.
[break][break]
”Sounds perfect.”
[break][break]
With a smirk, he follows to the bathroom, once there finally shrugging off clothes that are all too wet thanks to the rain from earlier.

it does sound perfect.

and so, into the bathroom they go, where cian wastes little time in shrugging off his clothes as well. they plop onto the floor, left for later.

water falls.

Clothes are discarded onto the floor, something that perhaps is all too habitual for them to do when spending time together like this. It’s also something to which Mars pays little mind, of course, being much more preoccupied with stepping into the shower, with the feeling of the warm water against his skin, and with Cian’s presence next to him.
[break][break]
It’s with ease that his gaze finds Cian’s, and he chuckles at the comment, stepping closer.
[break][break]
”Yeah? Bet it wasn’t easy to keep it to yourself until then, huh?”
[break][break]
A hand reaches for Cian’s cheek, and almost as if to contradict this gentle and loving gesture, there’s a slight smirk.
[break][break]
”Now that I think about it, didn’t I say something about making you pay for that one?”

"it really wasn't."

he almost gave in a few times but for whatever reason managed to hang on. he's glad, too, as it really did pay off for him.

seeing mars that excited and happy for him was heartwarming.

"you did."

the smirk is returned.

"what are you gonna do?"

Despite everything that happened afterwards, it had been a nice surprise – especially seeing Cian so excited about showing him the gym. Even now, Mars feels infinitely proud of him for all of it, and it makes him happy.
[break][break]
So, yes, it had really been a nice surprise, even if now he may tease Cian about it…
[break][break]
”Hmm… Well, if I really wanted to make you pay, I could be cruel and take my sweet time to give you what you really want here, no?”
[break][break]
The fingers that had been at Cian’s cheek trace his jaw as Mars speaks, going down his neck to his chest – gently, and so very slowly. And through it all, Mars holds Cian’s gaze, his smirk never fading away since he’s all too aware of how impatient Cian can be when it comes to things like these..
[break][break]
”But I’m willing to take suggestions. What do you think I should do?”
[break][break]
This time, he grins.

"you wouldn't..."

but he would, because should their roles be reversed, cian would be doing the exact same thing.

and like usual, cian grows impatient. it should be expected, really.

"you should make me pay."

he exhales, leaning into the touch.

"but quicker."

He would. Of course he would. It should only be expected, since hasn’t he done the same one too many times before? It’s almost as if a well-rehearsed dance; Mars teases, slowly and taking his sweet time, and it all makes Cian grow so impatient that he makes it obvious.
[break][break]
Inevitably so, Mars chuckles about it, just as he has done one too many times before.
[break][break]
”Cute.”
[break][break]
He smirks, never letting go, never looking away, and leaning in, he kisses Cian’s cheek… and then his neck. Words are whispered then, breath brushing against bare skin just as hands wander:
[break][break]
”What do you want me to do?”
[break][break]
As if he doesn’t know the answer.
[break][break]
Quicker indeed, maybe just this once. Maybe because, in all truth and despite all his games, isn't Mars just as impatient as Cian?

cute.

he rolls his eyes, though quickly submits to the kisses that dote down his neck. it feels like electric and he can't help but moan softly in response, and when the question's asked, his answer should be expected.

"touch me."

The game, the dance, it’s all fun for as little as it lasts, but Mars can only force himself to be patient for so long, and Cian’s reactions push him way past that point. Especially the way he moans. He’d almost call it unfair, but isn’t it his own fault?
[break][break]
”Mmm. Okay.”
[break][break]
He hums in between kisses, warm water falling upon them, and just so barely pulling away to meet Cian’s gaze, he smiles, lips finding lips this time. As they kiss, a hand wanders down – touching, just as asked. Or, as told, rather.
[break][break]
It’ll probably be a long shower, but there’s nothing surprising about that.

it's a long shower, and when it eventually ends, he's both exhausted and relaxed at the same time — in the best way, of course.

after getting dressed, he plops down onto the couch, sighing as he leans into the soft cushions.

"so, food?"
