Of all places…here? It makes Emerson’s head swim to think that they’re not retreating somewhere like one of their places. Or even a dark corner. And yet he can’t quite manage to retreat, either.[break][break]

“Do you, uh, wanna find somewhere, or..?” The question trails as his breath wobbles, thoughts uprooted entirely by the drag of the other’s palm. Unconsciously, he shifts in place. Maybe coaxingly. “Well, you. Hah, you got me! Busted…”[break][break]

There it is, his name again.[break][break]

His heart hammers against his ribs and his eyelids flutter, and it would be so easy to do as he’s told. To just lean up and close the gap as the other shields him from the rest of the room.[break][break]

But the thing about Em is that he’s always been a bit stubborn in this regard. Maybe it’s because he flounders and people pleases in so many other aspects of his life.[break][break]

So this is where it kicks in.[break][break]

He does let his chin tilt up to draw closer. Impossibly close without connection, before he halts just shy of it again. The smile stretches wider and their lips brush just barely as the words roll off his tongue.[break][break]

“You’re bossy, huh?”[break][break]

No more than that.

Em chews at his bottom lip as the other’s words roll through him. Igniting more heat in his face and an uneven thump in his chest as Caden tacks his name to the end in a way that somehow makes it heavier handed. “aah, thanks?”[break][break]

He’s gonna get swallowed up. Maybe that wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen. His leg tingles where that hand lingers, and a part of him is impatient that it stopped, the other part of him embarrassed for being impatient. He twists inward as well, and it’s probably written all over his face.[break][break]

You’re good to look at.[break][break]

The instinct is to retort with a no, you sort of remark. Caden is tall, dark, and handsome. And frankly, Em sort of feels like a scrawny pipsqueak next to him. But maybe that’s appealing, he doesn’t know.[break][break]

He’s not exactly thinking with his brain, by now.[break][break]

Instead, it feels like his shrinking violet tendency has been seen through. Like the other knows what lurks under the surface behind all of his initial shyness and awkward demeanor.[break][break]

Sort of thrilling to be found out, isn’t it? Even if Em wasn’t initially planning on concluding his night like this, he’s not about to turn down the chance, either.[break][break]

Awkward or not, he isn’t stupid.[break][break]

Or even inexperienced. So he tilts into it—lets their eyes reconnect, the same sort of low burn flickering in his own. Close enough to kill the distance, but holding off at the last second as the corners of his open mouth start to curl upward the tiniest bit. “You sound real confident about that.”[break][break]

It’s liquid courage, and probably ill-advised. But that’s what makes it fun.

“I don’t know?”[break][break]

Adrenaline spikes as a hand moves up his thigh. Surprise only flickers across his face briefly as the contact jolts through him, but he doesn’t pull away. If anything, he shifts closer to further the opportunity.[break][break]

His thoughts still scatter, though, and he has to sort through his sudden attentive fixation on the touch along with the fog from his drinking to stammer through a response. “No. I-I mean, not that people never, uh, compliment me or, or whatever. Just…don’t take compliments well.” He shrugs quickly, as if that’s the best explanation he can give for his awkwardness.[break][break]

Em frowns slightly, bottom lip puffing in the slightest hint of a pout. “I…yes? I’m pretty sure.” His face darkens further at the compliment, but he’s certain he’s not mistaken.[break][break]

Unless the other is trying to throw him off for some reason. Maybe he should play dumb? Seems weird, but— His head tilts as he watches caden maher , eyes narrowing in a way that’s more flirtatious than suspicious.[break][break]

“But maybe I’m mistaken?”

The uptick in pace was preferred. Regardless of his social anxieties, Emerson didn’t care to be treated with carefulness. At least not in this context. So it was only an added benefit that this guy could take a cue and not continue to insist on a gentleness that seemed by outward appearances to fit someone shy and uncertain. Like the screens Em often hid behind, though, he wasn’t uncertain in this. The lack of attached strings offered a degree of confidence.[break][break]

Biting down on his own bottom lip did little to stifle the whine that crept up his throat as hips rocked against his own. His face flushed dark with color as he exhaled heavily. Body arching off the wall even as force pushed him against it. “No, you shut up,” he grumbled back petulantly, suddenly annoyed at the reaction that the slide of the other’s hands produced. A shivery anticipation that he was reluctant to admit to, despite the fact that he still nodded quickly in response as he scrambled to let his arms cling around his neck. “Last on the left.”[break][break]

Used to their continual presence, Em didn’t pick up on the persistence stare of little mice before they scurried back to their nests. He was too busy caving to the haze of want that clouded his mind until he was dizzy with it. Not anticipating the sudden toss, he bounced against the mattress of his bed with a grunt of complaint. “Rude.” He pointedly ignored the realization that he’d been maneuvered with obvious ease.[break][break]

Quick to shimmy out of his own clothes, he fell back. Red hair pooled around his face. None too shy, his eyes followed the other in a blatant stare. And then, unable to keep his mouth shut—“Sure take your sweet time, huh?” Not that that was too much of a bad thing, necessarily.

PENELOPE LIVY

[attr="class","sam-banner-up-blurb"]Emerson extends his hand toward it, palm up in offering to see if it’ll mirror the movement. His glance meanwhile shifts back toward the screens Penny pulls up for him. A soft hum follows. “I would figure if it was a model of a Pokémon, it should behave like one, even when alone.”

Maybe it was too robotic? But even AI has some degree of independent process, doesn’t it?

“What sorts of results are you hoping for? Or, I guess, is there anything in particular you’d like me to look into as well?”

His hand continues to move in waving shapes in front of it—curious as to if it’ll track the movement. “Do you have a moveset on file for it?”

Despite his lippiness, Emerson definitely wouldn’t say he was disappointed. He just had the sense that the other was holding back, and that was unneeded with him. In fact, seeming to have surprised him was satisfying in its own way.[break][break]

Emerson studied the guy as he reacted to the taunt, rust red eyes brightening against the flush in his face and swallowing up every tic and micro expression in the other’s. Em’s lips curled in a smile as he laughed, seconds before distraction pulled them under again. And he certainly did not disappoint. Breath exhaled heavily from his lungs as fingers knotted in his hair. Culminating in a needy sound as shivers followed the trail down his back.[break][break]

As he leaned down, Em lifted up on his toes to alleviate some of the distance. His hands traveled to hook around the back of his neck, only to be followed by a startled noise muffled between them as he was abruptly lifted off of his toes. Hoisted up, he relished the feeling of his back thumping against the wall as his legs quickly locked around the other’s waist.[break][break]

That better?[break][break]

Droopy, dazed eyes narrowed at him as he posed his question. Emerson’s head tilted a bit, lips parted as his chest rose and fell quickly. “Do you always talk this much?” he retorted as his hands slipped down to curl into the fabric of the other’s shirt to drag him close again, mouth hungrily traveling up his neck.

“Bats then? Huh, never really thought about them.” Maybe they’d be nice to keep too, he’d have to look into it. Just…later. He was too busy thinking about the hand that had returned to its rightful place against his back. How it remained there, and could have for as long as the other wished it to. Though of course it didn’t last all that much longer than the first time.[break][break]

Oblivious to the staring, Em nodded partway through taking off the sweater, only to remember his head was covered up by fabric. “Okay, well uh, I got all sorts of stuff if you change your mind!” It was mostly just politeness fueling him. If he was being honest, Em was relieved that the offer was refused. Not out of a reluctance to share, but instead because his mind was elsewhere.[break][break]

Totally and completely in the gutter, that was.[break][break]

Discarding his hoodie to a nearby papasan chair, he finally caught sight of the smirk that had hitched the side of the other’s mouth. Instantly, his face flushed again to register that it was fixated on him. But of course it was. His eyes followed him as he approached, the copper rust shade of them darkening with shared want in the seconds before that electric touch returned, sliding across his face and through his hair.[break][break]

He wasn’t sure what this guy might expect of him. If he’d respond to the kiss with surprise, or maybe shyness, but that wasn’t the reaction Emerson met him with. He wasn’t inexperienced or sheepish about what to do with his mouth or body or hands. Instead he leaned into it fully, humoring the carefulness of it for a moment.[break][break]

Like he was a fragile thing that might snap easily if he didn’t set a gentler pace. But Em wasn’t in the business of tender or careful. Just as quickly as if had begun, he severed the connection, yanking back just enough to look into those blue eyes as his fingers curled firmly against his jaw. “Surely you can do better than that,” he goaded coyly, though it was no more than a playful prod. A smirk of his own curling on his lips.

“They make nice companions,” he answered simply, shoulders shrugging as he looked back over one with a small smile. There was a lot of variety in personality to be found in the small creatures he kept, and though he had other electric types, it was the rats he was most fond of. “But again, they won’t bug you if you don’t bug them. Except maybe Dumpling.”[break][break]

They came to the apartment building and he slowed to a stop, arms stretching out. “Ta-daaa. Sorry, it’s not fancy. It’s not a bad place at all, but there’s no elevator, so uh, stairs.” Em pointed at the exterior staircase that would take them to his door. He held up a finger, “Only one flight.”[break][break]

He teetered as he began to climb them, a stray giggle slipping loose as he used the other to steady himself again. “Hehe, oops.” The solidity of him ensured Emerson that yeah, this really was happening. He was there. A quick struggle with his keys finally allowed them entry to the apartment. Cozy and unassuming, maybe a little messy because he hadn’t really expected to bring someone home, but definitely not slobby.[break][break]

“You, uh, want anything? I got more beer, or whatever.” He reached down to the hem of his too big hoodie to pull it up over his head, a little overheated from the lethal combination of warm weather, drinking and thirst. His midriff was exposed briefly before his t-shirt dropped down again. Showing off narrow hipbones and the pale skin of someone who was chronically indoors.

A hand pressed low against his back, steady and firm. Fingers splayed out, Em could tell that his hands were far bigger than his own, though his fingers were long and spindly despite his short stature. It wasn’t that Emerson was petite. He was just short–still lanky and thin in a miniature size. Regardless the touch elicited a shiver, like static zipped out from his fingertips like the electric pokemon Em was used to working with.[break][break]

Different, though, of course with the way it fueled an already existing litany of thoughts and ideas popping up at the front of his cocktail-addled mind. Or okay, maybe he wasn’t really thinking with his brain at all, but…that was okay! They seemed to be on the same page about that.[break][break]

How easily could those hands lift him?[break][break]

He shook his head, bringing himself back down to earth as the other answered. And it was only then that it dawned on him that he’d never asked for a name. But it had never been offered, either. Regardless, if this went sideways or whatever, it’d be better if they skipped the exchange. Save that for if this was a good conclusion to what had been a good evening up to that point.[break][break]

“Yep. That’s fine. Jus…don’t mind the rodents, ‘kay? They’ll probably stay in their tree, anyway.” Meaning the cat tree that had been repurposed for a horde of electric rats, and others. His feet carried him in the direction of his place, and occasionally he glanced back toward the other man. Blinking a few times curiously as if he couldn’t quite believe he was really there.
