"I wish somebody would tell me what in the fuck is going on here." The man in the ragged, bloodstained white suit stopped to lean against a wall, adjusting his open collar. Underneath, scratches and bruises abounded, and he looked the sort who'd been through the wringer, as a stray animal, with a curious sort of detachment

Ellis hadn't grinned this much since... well, he didn't know when. He missed his familiar little group. If Nick was paying attention, it was probably hard to hide the way his expression had warmed up. Especially since, hey, he wasn't poking fun at him for something... yet. Just talking and Ellis listened, nodding along here and there, maybe... frowning a little.
Just in worry, Nick sounded... weird. But he did believe him. He'd seen weirder things happen all over this joint. Turning that frown to a more reassuring look, he reached out to give the man a quick pat to the shoulder.
"Now, you gotta relax a little, Nick. I know it ain't easy to take it all in, but shit like that happens all the time and so far? I reckon there's no need for guns... I can't find any anyway and believe me, I've been lookin'. I been here awhile and I ain't seen a zombie yet at least. Wakin' up in bed with a stranger is kinda normal too... dependin' on what's goin' on here."
He was going to take a cautious look around, just making sure they're alone before leaning in, tone hushed, "I think this place is a brothel or somethin', Nick."
That required utmost secrecy, if you couldn't tell. Just like when he had to explain the Tunnel of Love way back when.
"Nah, I'm fine. You're the one soundin' kinda weird. You okay, Nick?"
Reply
"Okay, well, no zombies. That's a good thing." He licked his lips--because they were dry, he told himself--glanced around again, and moved nearer to one of the doors, risking a look inside. Empty. Not that he didn't believe the younger man, of course.
"A brothel, you don't say?" He asked, "What was your first clue?"
He was picturing Ellis on his knees, he was picturing him on a bed on his back, face to face, he was ...
"Look, get in here, huh?" He stepped into the room, giving himself another swift mental kick. "I don't like feeling so exposed." Oh god damnit.

But there was some of that familiar snark he was so used to, so he let himself relax again. "Well, the first clue was this godawful heart-shaped bed I woke up in an' the second would be some... uh... things I saw in somea' the drawers."
There might have been just a little bit of heat rising up to his face by now and he tucked his chin in briefly, hoping to hide that fact. Last thing he needed was Nick noticing that, but hell, he wasn't ignorant or anything but he did not hang out at brothels all that often. "Y'can hear other people a lot too... damn uncomfortable in here at night."
"... Okay," he answered, following Nick in without the slightest hesitation. Hey, he understood. Couldn't blame a guy for wanting to have a little privacy in a place like this. "I forgot to tell ya, Nick. Somethin' is really messed up with the air here... It makes you act kinda funny sometimes n'shit. Maybe a lot of the time..."
Reply
"Is that uncomfortable because you're trying to sleep...or because you feel like you're missing out?" The last sentence edged towards a rough growl, and he was not going to take advantage of Ellis' naivete, no, no.
Maybe.
"Funny." He repeated, aching for the other, for the touch of flesh on flesh, for Ellis's stark, bucking body, above or beneath or to the side, it didn't really matter where. Almost before he knew what he was doing, he was reaching out to touch Ellis's cheek, running a gun-calloused thumb over the man's face gently. "You mean like this?"
Reply
Oh, but that wasn't fair, Nick. That comment got him to stop right in his tracks, giving the man a look. "What kinda question is that, Nick?"
The tone of that voice, the strange behavior earlier--Ellis was really starting to feel like coming in here might not have been the wisest idea after all. "I--"
Shit, there were a dozen things he wanted to say, but his mouth wasn't cooperating for once. That touch sent a shiver down his spine and he blamed it on that 'something funny' he just mentioned. "Nick, man, what're you doing?"
He knew he must have totally been wearing that deer caught in a headlight look right about now and that's kind of how he felt too. Nick was cool, but he never pictured this happening at all. "This ain't you talkin' or anything... It's those aphrodisiac things I was told about."
Reply
He grinned, drew almost close enough to brush noses. "Had plenty of opportunities to leave you behind, didn't I? --And you've pulled my ass out of the fire plenty, can't say I don't appreciate it."
Nick found his hand wandering vaguely downwards, resting for a second at Ellis's hip before taking him firmly between the legs. "Drugs or no drugs, this is what I want. How about you?"
Reply
It was hard not to feel a little at a loss for what to do when Nick kept drawing closer, saying words that sent his heart racing faster, that felt good to hear if they really weren't because of the aphrodisiacs in this place...
Things were heating up fast on his end, fast. A little tingle traveling along his nerves with that touh to his hip. He might have swayed towards the other, resisting the urge to press closer. This was pretty damn surreal. But that little voice saying, "No." and "This is Nick." and hell, even, "This is a dude." over and over again shut up pretty damn quick when he was grabbed like that, those words... shit, those words did things to him he hadn't been expecting.
Letting out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding in, he gave a stiff nod, licking suddenly dry lips. "I..."
Okay, his head was kind of spinning, but he managed a nod yes. This had to be the rashest decision of his life and that was counting the lawn mower bumper cars. "If you ain't gonna freak out later or somethin'."
Seemed pretty damn stupid to be shy now, so Ellis brought up his hands, grasping at the other's suit to pull him a little closer, starting to lean in and close that distance between their lips.

"Mmmf," He protested against that sweet mouth, almost forbidden to him until now, at the statement about freaking out, but honestly he was too far gone to care, and he was getting everything he wanted and more.
Reply
His fingers went to work feverishly at tugging away the other's jacket, working on opening his shirt, lips quirking slightly into the kiss at that little protested noise he successfully muffled.
Reply
"C'mon...hnnf, c'mere--" He managed between locking lips, yanking down on the pants, "Hold on... I wanna--mmm." Of the kiss, half astonished, half pleased, "--that's good."
Reply
That's good.
Those words earned a little smile. "Yeah... you think it'd be bad or somethin'?"
Breaking away from the kiss briefly, he put his cap on the nearest dresser and toss his shirt away. Saved the trouble later and now he could focus on getting Nick's pants down. He might have been a little hesitant now, movements unsure as he let his eyes meet the other's. "Nick, y'think we should move to the bed or somethin'?"
Reply
He thought about Ellis splayed out across the bed, tried to sound cavalier, only halfway succeeded.
"Sure, if you want." His eyes, focused as they were on the particulars of Ellis's winsome face, hadn't missed the uncertainty, and moved to reassure him the only way he knew how, while he unbuttoned his own shirt and kept his eyes on the other man's exposed chest.
"Y'know, I've seen you running towards a Tank, screaming like an idiot. You can't tell me you're scared of me, can you?"
Reply
So of course he was enthusiastic, eager to please and maybe show off a bit. He wasn't entirely clueless, though definitely not as experienced as he wanted to be. "Think I would..."
He didn't want to do it up against a wall, that was for sure. Though if Nick kept looking at him with that face, he might not care much. that little tease encouraged him to step it up a bit, finally pushing the other's pants down, gaze flitting downwards briefly. "I ain't scared a'you, Nick. I just--"
Ellis paused, letting his fingers trail over what was being exposed of the other's chest--though it was tentative, soft, his hands were rough and calloused. What you got working as a mechanic. "Not like I done this with a guy before. Excuse me for not knowin' exactly what I'm doin', Fancy Suit."

"Sit your ass down over there and spread 'em."

He had a feeling Nick was really getting off on all the control and he'll, maybe he was too. Or maybe he just needed this too bad right now to care one way or another. He went to get comfortable on the bed, spreading his legs as instructed and trying, trying, to keep his movements as easy and fluid. He didn't want to look like a clumsy idiot or anything, that wouldn't be sexy. Just uncool. Leaning back on his hands, he looked back to Nick.
Ellis was flushed, expression hazy and wanton, eager and maybe still a little anxious truth be told. But that was easy to ignore with how much he wanted Nick right now. "This how you wanted it?"
Reply
"You doofus," Nick licked his lips, as if pining for a longer taste, and then followed him to the bed, shedding the rest of his clothes on the way. Ordinarily he'd flirt more, make it a long, extended game, hell, even an hour's foreplay, tease-and-deny-and-rinse-and-repeat wasn't out of the question. But this place wasn't ordinary, and although he tried to tell himself it was the drugs, he knew all they were doing was coaxing out feelings he'd tried to keep buried.
"That'll do." He said flatly, leaning down and tracing Ellis's collarbone with one hand. If he was going to praise the other man, Ellis was damn well going to earn it, Nick was sure of that. He licked up one palm, reaching down to slick up his cock, taking a little longer than necessary to make Ellis wait. He loved that look of eagerness, the sense that he was wanted and desired.
He licked up his fingers again and trailed them down between Ellis's legs, rubbing the heel of his palm against the other man's member 'accidentally', before slipping a finger inside him right to the knuckle.
