a day, but a day, a very good day

Dec 19, 2010 10:43

Zach was getting use to Risa, fast. No one knew who he was here, except the people he met on the Enterprise. No reporters trying to bother him, no paparazzi following him around trying to get a picture, no fans coming up and asking for pictures or autographs. It was a really, honest, vacation, and in the scope of things he couldn't have been more ( Read more... )

Chris surveyed his purchases, chewing his lip as he made sure everything was in place. Up early again today, he'd slipped out of the hotel and gone down to the small market at the corner, filling a basket with whatever he could find that looked good for breakfast. One final stop for coffee and he'd returned, spreading everything out in the small kitchenette and assembling a couple of plates of fresh fruit, cheese, and warm, fresh rolls. Looking through the cabinet, he found a tray and loaded the plates onto it along with the coffee ( ... )

Zach gave a quiet groan of sound, trying to find the edge of the blanket and drag it over his head. There might have been a muttered five minutes but it was hard to say. It was nice and warm beneath the blankets, and he was relaxed and comfortable. The idea of getting up seemed like an insult to such comfort.

Chuckling, Chris eased down on to the bed next to Zach, the small slice of bed Zach wasn't sprawled across meaning he had to curl close so he didn't end up in the floor. Sliding an arm around him, he tried again, nuzzling against Zach's shoulder.

"I have coffee..." Chris coaxed, his voice light and teasing.

"That's teasing," Zach groaned, lifting his head just enough to open his eyes and look at Chris. "Coffee is my own weakness, other than hungry dogs that won't take no for an answer." He rubbed a hand over his face, grunting as he stretched out against Chris.

"It's not teasing if you can back it up," Chris retorted, smiling when he saw those sleepy brown eyes. He edged closer when Zach rolled against him all warm and pliant, one hand coming up to scratch his scalp. He still couldn't quite believe he got to do this, sliding into bed with Zach and teasing him awake.

"Noah's still asleep. But I do have coffee. And food. Or we can stay just like this for a while if you want." Chris wouldn't mind that at all.

Like Noah getting an ear scratch, Zach closed his eyes again and leaned into Chris' fingers. "How about coffee and good and staying in bed like this?" Zach thought that sounded like a pretty good day in his opinion.

"Mmm, we could," Chris agreed, keeping up the steady, light scratching, the lure of a quiet, sleepy morning in bed with Zach too irresistible to pass up. Nosing against him, Chris tugged on the covers, stealing a corner for himself. A lazy morning of breakfast and coffee and Zach, and then they could go play outside in the afternoon. Perfect.

"Got plans for you later," Chris murmured, the quiet and the solid warmth of Zach lulling him into a half-asleep state.

It was some time later when Chris stirred, having fallen into a surprisingly deep sleep. The fresh, clean air here had lured him into spending most of each day doing something outdoors, with the result that he was generally fast asleep within minutes of crawling into bed and slept deeply until morning. He hadn't meant to do that just now, though.

His arms tightened around Zach as he nuzzled his ear. "Hi."

sassyspock December 20 2010, 02:48:36 UTC

"Hey," Zach whispered quietly, running the flat of his palm along Chris' closest arm. "Sleep good?" He stretched a little with his words, his body telling him just how comfortable it was to do this.

"Mmmm, yeah," Chris replied. "Didn't mean to." Still a little fuzzy from his unexpected nap, he just lay still and enjoyed the quiet moment, Zach's hand sending shivers up his arm.

He rumbled low in his chest when Zach stretched, rubbing against the length of him and making Chris snuggle closer against his back. This was something that he would take as a luxury back home, the chance to just have a quiet morning like this with nowhere to go, nothing to say they couldn't just stay right here. He smiled against the warm skin of Zach's neck, leaving a trail of soft kisses wherever he could reach without moving too much. He didn't want to disturb the peaceful, quiet warmth that surrounded them.

"Not like we have any pressing place to go," Zach murmured, a yawn splitting his jaw. He leaned back into Chris, then turned just enough that he could touch their lips together. "I like having you here, like this." It was still something they were getting use to, having each other like this. Zach tried not to think of what would happen in the future, when all was said and done and they chose to return home to their old lives.

"Nope," Chris agreed just before their lips met. The angle was a little awkward but the kiss was soft, just the lightest of touches with the slight rasp of stubble when their cheeks rubbed together. "I like being here with you," he told Zach. He hoped they would be able to carve out time for themselves, for this, when they went home.

Lying still with no other sound but the rustle of the covers or the soft, regular sound of their breathing, Chris found it more and more difficult to justify moving from this spot. Not when being here, having Zach warm and sleepy curled up against him felt so incredibly good.

His hand came up, the flat of his thumb rubbing along Chris' jawline. They both needed a shave, though Zach was rarely without needing one anyway, and a shower might be nice, but the bathroom seemed very far away. Instead, remaining here and comfortable was a much better plan.

"Does that mean we can just stay here for today?" Zach murmured, smiling sleepily. How they could manage this when the media had its eyes on them constantly, when their managers would have a fit?

Chris leaned into that touch, his eyes drifting shut again as he rubbed against Zach's hand. He was fast becoming in favor of staying right there all day, never mind the gorgeous weather outside. The sleepy smile that greeted him when his eyes opened again did nothing to persuade him otherwise, instead prompting him to lean in for another slow, soft kiss.

Somewhere in the back of his mind, though, he was reminded of his original plan. His voice was hushed when they broke apart again, still not ready to disturb the quiet but curious and just a little nervous, which was silly when he thought about it. But somehow in taking things slow, they'd still not gotten around to this elementary step. "Want to go out later?"

sassyspock December 22 2010, 00:05:22 UTC

"Depends, what time is later?" Zach reached over and tugged Chris a little until he got the idea to move so he was on top of Zach's body. A long fingered hand cupped the back of Chris' skull topped with a sleepy smile.

Hopefully later was much later, because the idea of moving from this pocket of warm seemed like some sort of crime. It was several lazy Saturday mornings rolled into one. There would be nothing like this when they got back to Earth, in 2010, or it would be much more complicated.

"You realize it'll be 2011 soon, back where we are? Twenty-two..." Zach drifted off, trying to remember when the movie happened, information he learned since coming aboard as well, "...sixty, I think, here?"
