The little AU: Winter Work: Heat

The yacht is comfortable; luxurious even. They talk about that, meta-discussions about the conspicuous consumption that's made them their fortunes, made Bill Gates and Orlando Bloom, ordinary blokes, into household names and tabloid jokes. For his part, Orlando's grateful for all the deep discussions Viggo'd dragged out of him, forcing him to slow down, think things through, say what he means, ask what he really wants to know. He feels like he's keeping himself in the conversation, making sense, asking good questions. Mr. Gates, for his part, admits to being a bit star-struck, and a bit of a nerd- "If I go too fast, if I skip steps, stop me, ok? I'm trying to grow out of that. Bad habit." They get along.

In the night Orlando uses one of the on-board computers to talk to Karl who's still on West Coast time over in London. They trade stories, talk dirty to each other, just short of making each other come- Orli's embarrassed, feels quaint about it but just is, to have cybersex on Bill Gates's yacht; Karl knows he'd never hear the end of it from Viggo. No, they'll wait- Orli will jerk off in the shower, feeling silly but loved, and Karl will crawl in with Viggo, whisper, "This is from Orlando for you," and fuck Viggo long and hard, enjoying being the middle man in more ways than one.

When he wakes, Viggo will kiss Karl and text Orlando. "Thank you for the heat, love." Orli will look over the bow of the yacht toward Antarctica and hold that heat in his heart, mark of the respect he knows Viggo has for him and his endless curiosity about his place in the world and how best to make use of it.
