OOM: one of a number of visits from Sam Linnfer

[isaysimplewords]

When Cal and Sam arrived from Milliways, they lost no time in hitting the shower: sand in the bed isn't much fun for anyone, after all.

So now the bottom of Cal's tub is finely coated with sand, but the bed is comfortably sand-free for post-coital lounging.

Comments

[necessary_child]

"You know, I was right," Sam says after some time, in the tone of one who has given this long and serious thought. "You are disgusting."

(He's sprawled out comfortably, half on Cal and half off, with his head tucked into the crook of Cal's shoulder.)

[necessary_child]

"I don't know." Sam is far too comfortable to come up with ideas. "Something."

[isaysimplewords]

Cal scoffs and kisses Sam's forehead.

"You're a big help," he says against Sam's skin.

[necessary_child]

Sam only laughs.

"Hey, one out of two isn't bad."

[isaysimplewords]

Cal just snorts at that.

He feels no further commentary is required.

[necessary_child]

"...Oh, shut up, Favourite."

[isaysimplewords]

"Hey," Cal protests. "For once, I didn't say anything!"

Sam is so unjust.

[necessary_child]

"You thought it."

Cal cannot fool Sam!

[isaysimplewords]

"Pfft, how do you know?"

Cal's memory can be very short and highly selective when he wants it to be.

[necessary_child]

Smugly, "I can read minds."

He can, too! (He wasn't just then, but that's not the point.)

[isaysimplewords]

"Cannot," Cal says. "You would have told me."

It's true.

[necessary_child]

"Can too!"

Beat.

"I wasn't just then, but that would completely invalidate my argument."

[isaysimplewords]

"Then maybe you shouldn't have said it out loud?" Cal suggests.

He, after all, cannot read minds.

[necessary_child]

"Yeah, but that'd be less fun," Sam says. "Also-"

Kissing Cal, it turns out, is even more fun than that.

[isaysimplewords]

Cal can't argue with that.

"That is a very good point," he tells Sam when they part.

[necessary_child]

Cheerfully, "I know."
