Room 407, Tuesday afternoon-evening-night

[redintraining]

Sky was sitting at his desk, reviewing his notes. He was uncharacteristically squeamish and nervous, unable to sit still, tapping his feet, then his pencil, then drumming his fingers on the side of a nearby bottle of water. Maybe because the door was open, in the fervent hope that a certain someone he hadn't spoken to in over a week was around

Comments

Troy practically bounced into the room. "HIII!" he said, practically squeeing. "I am so sorry I've not been around, Kelsi -- a friend from back home -- had me on the phone basically all weekend, and before that some other friends kept calling me, and it was just... I basically haven't left my room 'cause the phone wouldn't stop ringing."

He paused. "Did I mention that sometimes, I hate my friends? Especially when they keep me away from my boyfriend."

Sky blinked at Troy, taking a moment to absorb all of that.

"Ah... hey. I was wondering where you'd been," he said, standing up and fidgeting. "I'm glad it was just that."

[oncourtandstage]

"Sorry!" Troy said again. "I didn't even... Chad and Ryan have just gotten together, and then the school found out about it, and Chad's been having some problems with it and threatening to break it off with Ryan, but he doesn't really mean it, he's just scared, and Ryan's upset about that and keeps calling me for advice because I've known Chad since pre-school, and that's resolved, at least for the moment, but then Kelsi started calling me because... I still don't understand what she was talking about when she called. Something about the new show she's writing.

"So what's been going on with you?"

[redintraining]

"It's OK, really," said Sky, smiling slightly. "You don't have to explain, I just... you know that ever since that happened, I worry about you." Another little fidget. He was itching to speak what was on his mind, but felt stupid even as he considered it and held his tongue. "Nothing much has been going on with me. I had an exciting weekend, but that's it."

[oncourtandstage]

"Exciting how?" Troy asked. "... Did I miss something big?"

[redintraining]

"Oh, only an invasion of bears with lasers," said Sky casually, "and myself and some of my friends fighting a colossal bear off inside a giant robot. Nothing too awfully exciting."

[oncourtandstage]

"... I missed bears with lasers?" Troy asked, pouting. "I am going to kill Kelsi." He paused. "... Giant robot?"

[redintraining]

"Yeah," said Sky. "Made out of furniture. No, I don't know how it happened, either, but there we were... and there were the furniture Zords... and we fought off and defeated the giant bear. And managed to destroy Stuff for Sale. I'm surprised we weren't expelled."

[oncourtandstage]

Troy just kinda stared for a moment. "... If this weren't Fandom," he began, slowly, "I'd worry about you. Even knowing what I do of the world you come from. As it is, that's still almost too weird for this place."

[redintraining]

Sky's smiled widened, and he leaned in to kiss Troy. "Almost, but it did happen. A lot of other people saw the bears, too, or got attacked by them." Another teeny fidget. "...Want to do something tonight?"

[oncourtandstage]

"Sure!" Troy said. He kissed Sky in return, letting his tongue slide across his boyfriend's lips. "What did you have in mind?"

He very distinctly did not add, "Each other?" But he definitely thought it.

[redintraining]

Sky shrugged. "Whatever you're in the mood for. I'm flexible." OK, far from being fidgety about something, he was feeling a little... amorous. He went and sat down on the bed, nervously tugging his shirt down.

[oncourtandstage]

"Oh, yeah?" Troy asked, moving over, one hand sliding up Sky's arm, across his shoulder, and around the back of his neck. "Care to show me," he added, with a salacious grin, "exactly how flexible you are?"

[redintraining]

Sky raised an eyebrow and grinned, forgetting what was on his mind, for a while, and almost automatically unzipping his jacket.

[oncourtandstage]

His grin widened; Troy ran his hand inside of Sky's open jacket, running his hand across Sky's chest, then pushing the jacket off his shoulders. He leaned in again to kiss Sky.

[redintraining]

Sky kissed back, gripping the back of Troy's shirt, then slipping into the familiar routine...

It felt good to get back to this, after a week. VERY good, in fact.

When they were done, and the happiness and lust had faded, Sky lay back on the bed, holding Troy close, distractedly running fingers through the other boy's hair.
