Aboard the Mrs. Morgan [a month after last time]

[momslilassassin]

Game night had gone without a hitch (well, other than the argument Ben had in his halting French with a colonist trying to skip Park Place in Monopoly) and he and Ender were now heading back to their room after a brief stop for ice cream and drinks in the mess.

"That was fun," he said, bumping his shoulder into Ender's. "Movie night next?"

Comments

[momslilassassin]

"Only with you," Ben replied. "No one else gets horizontal hellos."

[endsthegame]

Ender laughed softly. "There's some wordplay in that," he said. "Maybe you should try poetry."

Not right now, though, since hellos had to be said.

[momslilassassin]

"I'll leave that to you instead," Ben murmured between kisses. "Kuso, you feel good."

[endsthegame]

"I'd like to say it was on purpose," Ender said, "But I've been doing paperwork and talking to colonists all day."

And so maybe occasionally not seeing Ben all day led to an inclination towards long hellos on his part. Who knew.

[momslilassassin]

"Sexy," Ben said with a little laugh, tugging on Ender's shirt.

[endsthegame]

Ender leaned back so he could strip that off and toss it at their dresser. "Hush," he said. "Unlike you, I can't think of any flowery ways to say 'I missed you'."

[momslilassassin]

"I missed you too," Ben replied, kissing Ender's collarbone.

[endsthegame]

Ender smiled, tugging on Ben's shirt next. "Then it's a good thing I'm not going anywhere for the next twelve hours."

[momslilassassin]

"But this movie's not nearly that long," Ben teased, dropping his shirt onto Ender's.

[endsthegame]

"Might have to put it on pause then," Ender said. "Just to make it last."

He kissed Ben again.

[momslilassassin]

"Hate to miss the dialogue," Ben agreed, rolling on top of Ender as onscreen someone was yelling about a twister coming down the road.

[endsthegame]

"It'd be a terrible crime," Ender agreed, running his fingers over Ben's back.

[momslilassassin]

Ben moaned softly and flailed for the remote, turning the movie off and the stars over Fandom on.

[endsthegame]

"Romantic," Ender commented, glancing briefly up at the ceiling.

But only briefly. He had better things to do with his face.

[momslilassassin]

"Wouldn't we need music for it to be that romantic?" asked the guy who'd never once turned music on for this.

[endsthegame]

Ender snorted. "Let's cut that thought off right there before you try something," he said, sliding his fingers along Ben's scars.

[momslilassassin]

"I could pick good music," Ben protested without any heat to it, going back to sucking on Ender's lower lip.

[endsthegame]

"I don't think so," Ender said, sliding his hands down to cup Ben's... assets.

[momslilassassin]

"Mmm," Ben sighed. "You're making a persuasive argument."

[endsthegame]

"Well, I'm a gifted speaker," Ender chuckled. "Mm. Hi."

[momslilassassin]

"Hi," Ben replied, nipping on his neck. "Just think how happy we'd be to see each other if it had been longer than eight hours..."

[endsthegame]

Ender laughed softly. "The mood I'm in," he said, "We might not have gotten as far as the bed."

[momslilassassin]

Ben grinned at him. "Really. Tell me more about this mood of yours."

[endsthegame]

Ender's hands found the fly of Ben's pants and opened them. "Well, for one," he said, "I've spent the past hour or so thinking about you naked."

[momslilassassin]

"That's some boring paperwork," Ben said with a breathless laugh.
