[stuck_mynock]

Atton is out back, shoes and shirt discarded at the bottom of a nearby tree, punching the remains of a man made of straw and wood and punching bags. It wasn't a particularly realistic man to start with, and by now it's so mangled that it doesn't really look that much like a human

He's not alone any more.

The 'fight' seems interesting enough. But what's more interesting is the way the sun is gleaming off of the paint and sweat on his back.

It's kind of an astral sight. Really.

[stuck_mynock]

Atton stops, eventually, swinging around to face Gavin with a broad grin.
"Hey, Gavin." Headtilt. "How long've you been watching?"

[jawaswag]

...

He hadn't meant to get caught. Gavin blushes, shrugging and looking generally uncomfortable.

"Um."

[stuck_mynock]

Atton is apparently completely oblivious to Gavin's real reasons for watching, and interprets the discomfort as something quite different.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to make you wait - Y'could've just called me if you wanted to talk."

[jawaswag]

"Um."

That wasn't his reason for standing there at all.

"It's okay. Really."

[stuck_mynock]

"Are you sure?" Atton asks, rolling his shoulders slightly to loosen up and wandering over, sliding his arms around Gavin's waist.

[jawaswag]

"Yeah," he answers, grinning a little more confidently. "What were you doing out here?"

Aside from the obvious, that is.

[stuck_mynock]

"Punching a dummy. That's it, really," Atton grins. "Made it myself."

[jawaswag]

That's also kind of obvious.

"Hence the paint?"

[stuck_mynock]

"Hence the paint. Hey, you should come join me. We could paint more stuff on it." Atton beams.

[jawaswag]

He's all for it. As long as it doesn't involve stripping.

"What else does it need?"

[stuck_mynock]

It's safe to assume that Atton's going to try to get Gavin to strip at some point.

"Belt?"

[jawaswag]

Gavin nods. "I think I can help do that."

[stuck_mynock]

"'Kay. You should probably get your shirt off. It'll get messy, otherwise." Ulterior motives? From Atton? It's more likely than you think.

[jawaswag]

"It's just an old shirt," he lies, shaking his head. It's one thing stripping in front of Atton alone in one of their rooms. It's another thing when they're outside. "I don't care about it."

[stuck_mynock]

"Really? Doesn't look that old." Though Atton really has no idea if it looks old or not.
