[Sterling lets his hand slide again Cas' back, touching skin, soft caresses of fingertips and scrapes of his nails as he enjoys the feel of the man against him, under his fingers. His other hand holds hard against his waist, as if he can somehow use that grip to keep Cas from misbehaving, from pushing this further. Hard to keep himself from giving into desire, when it's someone that he wants and that is clearly so willing. But he wants more than just this, isn't the sort to be satisfied with just a shag, just a roll in the sheets and see-you-later.

He moans softly as teeth nip at his lips, the man groaning against his skin. Sterling sucks his bottom lip into his mouth, a low murmur at the feel, the taste of skin. When he slips away, it's only to trail kisses and nips of teeth against his jaw, down his throat, sucking more marks into skin, almost possessive. Eventually his head leaning into that curve of neck and shoulder, pressing soft, lazy kisses against his neck as he nuzzled into his body.

Now... if they could just stay like this for a little while. His fingers against Cas' waist moving to slowly slide up and down his side in an almost soothing motion.]

[He's more or less aware of what that hand gripping at his waist means. It means this is the line, it means this is as far as this goes. He's just a bit disappointed that his subtle attempts (at least he thinks they're subtle) to push him just a little bit further are not only transparent, but unsuccessful. Shame. But any pleasure is better than no pleasure, and pleasure is most certainly what he's taking from the scrape of teeth against his jaw, the lips on his throat sucking marks into the skin.

He sighs as he feels the skin redden under Sterling's attention, the slight hint of pain that makes it so good, and he leans his head against the other man's as he moves to rest in the crook of his neck. There's a hand moving over his side, and while there are other places- one very specific place, actually- that he'd like that contact most, he has to admit that this feels nice too.

He lets his own hands smooth down Sterling's back and settle at his hips, thumbs tracing idle patterns against the skin as he will his body to calm down, accept that this isn't going any further... At least not right this second.]

[Sterling is actually fairly surprised that Cas doesn't seem to be trying to push it further, to try and cross that line drawn carefully in a balance between resolve and the fact that he wants this too. Even if what he wants is markedly different than Cas' sex-now-please mentality. If it were someone else, he'd probably play along, probably see how far he can drag him because Sterling is a pretty awful person. He doesn't take part in those half-jovial half-miserable 'before the Apocalypse' discussions, because as much as it's a Sterling-and-everyone else mentality, he's a better person now than he used to be. Survival has a way of quieting that gleeful desire to screw over other people.

He sighed against Cas' neck, his hand against his waist easing into hushed, quiet brushes of fingertips against skin, a silent request for the man to behave. Sterling likes this, likes being close, likes feeling Cas' skin under his hands, under his lips, sucking marks into his neck, until the other man's neck and shoulder was a messy trail of red and purple marks that made Sterling's eyes glint in the half light. He lets his other hand curl into Cas' dark hair, tugging just a little to pull his head back. He seems to consider something, pulling away just slightly from that oh-so-comfortable space against his neck, looking him over, meeting his eyes.]

I do like you, you know.

[It's lazy, drawled in the low, tinged-with-arousal tones of having so carefully skirted tumbling into bed with the other man. It's matter-of-a-fact, unabashed. Sterling didn't have a life that leads to commitment issues and an inability to use words to express feelings. He wanted something, and was willing to admit to what he wanted, it was as simple as that.]

[His lips are parted slightly as Sterling continues his assault on his throat. Letting his eyes slip closed, he murmurs into the drag of teeth and the hot suction purpling the sensitive skin; he knows he's going to be covered in bruises for at least the next few days, probably look like he'd finally lost it and tried to string himself up in his cabin... But he really can't bring himself to care. This feels good right now and he's not really a bigger picture kind of guy when it comes to these kinds of things.

Sterling's hand is stilling at his side, just slow soft passes of fingertips over his skin. It's all very... Subdued, and Cas doesn't quite know what to make of it. Pleasant, he supposes, save for the fact that he's still very much hard and very much willing to move this along. The fingers curling in his hair and and tugging his head back slightly aren't helping matters at all; it's so distracting, in fact, that he only half hears what Sterling's saying.]

Huh?

[He's not really... Sure what that means. He'd have thought that much was clear, considering Sterling's half pinning him to the couch and mauling his neck in an entirely pleasurable way... And seems to be enjoying himself as well.]

[Sterling keeps Cas' head tilted back that small bit, his fingers raking in his hair. Mixed signals? Maybe a little bit. But Cas isn't the only one hard here, and Sterling has always had a slight sort of edge to even non-sexual affections. Nails and teeth and bruises, pushing and hairpulling that's just this side of overtly sexual. At that sound of confusion, he arches an eyebrow, a hint of amusement curving his lips and glinting in his eyes.]

Do tell me I don't have to explain that there are types of attraction that don't revolve around shagging people whose names you can't be bothered to remember.

[Sterling had actually thought he'd been somewhat obvious in all of this. Apparently not obvious enough, but things like flowers were in short supply and he wasn't sure Cas would have taken that seriously.]

[He mumbles something quietly that might have been intended to be words at the fingers threading through his hair. Every touch seems so much more charged than it should be... But perhaps that's because of how blindingly turned on his is. That'd be his guess...

He snorts and makes a face. Of course he's aware that there's more than just shagging- and he likes that word, he'll have to remember it- but that's generally the part of the equation that doesn't really concern him, the part that he skips... Which most people, anyway. He has no problem being physically affectionate with just about anyone, because of the way it makes him feel- warm from the outside in, because it's the best he can do- but emotional affection is a totally different animal.]

Huh. Imagine that.

[Cas knows a good deal more about Sterling than most of the other people at the camp, but he has to admit that he hadn't seen this coming. He is truly woefully unprepared for handling this.]

[It had, admittedly, been a while since he'd done this, but, he'd like to think he hadn't entirely forgotten the proceedings. You stated your interest, and if they didn't immediately slap you in the face, there was room for further negotiations. Normally it would be followed by a request to dinner- but, it wasn't as if that carried the charm it might have five years earlier.

Given the lack of immediate and outright rejection, Sterling was going to take this as a win.]

You make it sound as if you've never done this before.

[He wasn't asking for anything; not now, at least. But, he wasn't the sort to play a cocktease without being candid about why there were lines in the first place. He'd told him before, of course; mentions over whiskey or whatever horrible liquor about not being the sort to play bedwarmer paired with heavy glances. However, Sterling would readily admit that half the time he wasn't certain how much of what they said on those nights Cas remembered in the morning.

Sterling keeps drawing fingers through Cas' hair, hand at his side softly stroking against skin, watching him quietly through dark lashes. He's not pushing anything while he lets those lines sink in, but he's not pulling away either.]

oh maaaan that happens to me ALL THE TIME. WORST. WOOORST. heavenonhigh January 22 2012, 18:59:18 UTC
[He frowns, and for a moment he's reminded of Dean asking him if he'd ever done any "cloud seeding"; it would appear that not much has changed after all, as his answer now is the same as it was then.]

Why would I have?

[He's never had occasion, and the apocalypse doesn't exactly lend itself to that kind of thing. The idea is so foreign to him that he's never actually considered anything of the sort, and he's more than a little bit thrown off by the fact that it's Sterling of all people who he's having this conversation with. It's a bit disorienting.

He should probably stop this now, because it's going in a direction his has little experience with and he doesn't exactly like that. And frankly he's not sure if it's even something he wants at all. But those fingers are still sliding in his hair and smoothing over his side and there's a distant worry that if he just says it outright they'll stop, and he doesn't want them to.]

It was awful! Not mixing Amp and Voltage EVER AGAIN OH MAN sterlingwins January 22 2012, 22:55:48 UTC
[Sterling eyes Cas as if he's briefly unable to believe that question. Maybe he'd over-estimated the other people around camp; figured that someone would have said something to him before, or that there would have been something before the Apocalypse. The thought that he might not have done this before hadn't crossed his mind, and so he keeps touching him, trying to be soothing. He doesn't want to scare him off, though he's not the sort to back off, either.]

Because you're lovely and interesting and clever, and I'm frankly surprised no one's ever admitted to it.

[There were other things he left out. Like that sadness in his blue eyes, the fact that there were moments; a certain curve of his lips, tilt of his head, or a way that he moved that made Sterling want to hold onto him. It wasn't just physical attractiveness; if it was they'd probably have been past the point of orgasm. He likes being around him as much as he enjoys anything in this broken world, and so he'll risk seeing where this goes.

Maybe it's because Cas so clearly chases pleasure, physicality, that Sterling's the only one arrogant or brave enough to actually admit to such a thing. He leans in, slowly, enough to give him time to pull away if he wants to, before nibbling on the other man's lips.]

UGH. No bueno. Noest of buenos, man heavenonhigh January 23 2012, 22:38:06 UTC
[Castiel had been, for all intents and purposes and to anyone except a very small group of select humans, a total alien to all things social. His experience with Dean in the strip club had been distinctly unpleasant, and until he'd fallen he'd felt no need to involve himself in such things again. It just wasn't something he had the desire for.

And then once he had fallen, well… If you spend one day in his company you've seen it all: drugs; sex; sleep; repeat/ Maybe some scavenging and whatever else Dean needed him to do thrown in there for flavour. It's just… Never been a thing. There was only one person he'd ever really thought about in that way, and it was so far from something that would ever happen ever, that, whether consciously or unconsciously, he'd just suppressed any desire for that particular kind of closeness.

And now…? He sighs into the scrape of teeth before pulling back just slightly, and leveling Sterling with the kind of fixed stare that hasn't been present on his face for years. It's not quite a squinty tilt of his head, but it's pretty damn close.]

I don't know what you want from me.

[Truly, he's at a total loss for what this sort of thing even means.]

sterlingwins January 24 2012, 03:33:58 UTC
I want you to give me a chance.

[Sterling brushes fingers against the side of Cas' face, and there's a waver in those dark eyes. He might not be the sort that shirks from what he wants, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't make him the slightest bit on edge. Because Cas hardly seems to grasp what Sterling's even talking about, and there is still a certain vulnerability in this. And Sterling hasn't really done this in quite a while, but he wants it, wants Cas in all the ways exemplified by dewy-eyed romantic comedies, as well as possibly some of the more edgy pornography.

He meets that gaze, still stroking his side as he touches his face, his fingers soft, trailing touches with a low murmur of breath. That slight way that he lets those walls of apathy and condescending indifference pull down even more than usual. Because he cares, as silly as such a sentiment is. And at the end of the world, it's not like there's a whole lot of second chances floating around.]

Does it help if I ask nicely? Please.

[And he can't quite help that desire to brush their lips together, so close on the couch like this, that it's hard to keep from touching him. Because he wants, so much.]

[His lashes flutter at that gentle touch, and for a second he considers pulling away. This is... Strange. Strange and different and he still really doesn't know what's expected of him. He's distantly certain that Sterling can't be asking him for monogamy, he's an intelligent man and surely he knows better. But what, then? It's not as if being in each other's company is new, they've been sharing drinks and what Cas is sure must be all kinds of innuendo- Cas knows how he gets after he's had a few, and he knows if he's made one pass at the man while exceptionally inebriated he's probably made fifty- for months now...

He shifts somewhat uncomfortably. They're still so close and it still feels nice, he just... Doesn't know how to proceed with this sort of thing, frankly.]

You're not asking me to stop... [and he gestures vaguely with his hand and a shrug of his shoulders, assuming Sterling will know what he's getting at] this, are you?

Of course not. I'm not an idiot, darling.

[Sterling quips back, thin smile curving his lips. He lets his fingers quietly brush through the strands of his hair, looking him over. He really doesn't think there's anything in the world that could separate Cas from the faceless sex. He thinks he needs it, that it's as part of who he is now as any of the things that Sterling likes about him. And more than that, in the sense of what Sterling actually wants, he doesn't think that it really matters; if Cas' utter bafflement about this situation has cemented anything, it's that the endless stream of bodies the man has sex with don't really matter.

If he loses him, it wont be because of some leggy blond Cas had bent over the couch or whatever position he happens to find most pleasing at that particular second in time. That is, assuming he can work this out in the first place.]

[His lips twitch.]

Well in that case...

[He trails off, closing his eyes as fingers thread through his hair again. He's not sure he'd give his activities up for anyone, so to expect it is ridiculous; he's glad Sterling seems to understand that. He does need it, needs it to keep him from being so cold... Nothing compares to someone warm next to him, even if it's only for a little while, even if it doesn't mean anything more than just a physical connection.

It's as much a part of who he is now as anything else, and it's not something he's willing to change.]

I guess... I can try?

[What exactly he's trying he still isn't totally clear on-- from where he's standing (laying, really), it sounds like... The kind of arrangement they already have? Only with more pleasure, he's gathering, and that's never a bad thing. It's not as if he's never been with the same person more than once so really, how different could it be?]

That's all I'm asking for.

[Sterling murmured, quietly pleased with that uncertain declaration. It was at least a start, after all. It was something, it was what he wanted, and that makes him smile as he looks over at Cas, his fingers still pleasantly stroking against the other man, as if in subtle reward. Sterling had long ago found that most people were like animals- you give them pleasure when they do something that you like. He leans in and kisses him, hands touching with a slightly more intent edge.

It's different than before, at least on Sterling's part, and who know, maybe that's the part that matters. Sterling isn't the sort to be content with implication, needs some sort of vocalization before he can let himself give anything to the only person he finds himself actually wanting to. He'd been rather okay with the idea of not caring about another person again until the world finished crashing down around them.

Apparently the world had other plans.]

I apologize for short and/or shitty tags, I'm having a small meltdown today apparently, go me =/ heavenonhigh January 27 2012, 18:16:22 UTC
[He gets in a quick nod before Sterling leans forward and presses their lips together; he's grateful for the distraction from talking about this. The whole situation is different and strange, but this, this he's familiar with. This he knows. He lets his hands smooth down Sterling's back, light press of fingertips against that soft expensive fabric. It comes out of nowhere, but he wonders how many suits the man still owns, and how after all this time they seem to be in one piece, save a few stray threads here and there...

It's not really important, and so Cas's mind wanders to other things like the fingers still moving through his hair and the warm brush of their lips. At least this part of the whole... Whatever this is is something he knows he'll have no trouble with. He shifts a bit to tug Sterling more properly on top of him, sighing at the solid weight of the other man's body pressing down on his own.]
