Room 614, the Arms Hotel, Sunday morning

[momslilassassin]

It was positively decadent, sleeping on a soft mattress without worrying about mosquitoes, bickering teenagers, annoying co-workers, or potential planetary eradication...

So Ben was sleeping in today. Mmmm. Sleep.

[OOC: For Ender!]

"You know these looks are going to fade eventually," Ender teased, kissing him again.

[momslilassassin]

Ben kissed him back. "Well, eventually, but then my eyesight might be shot too."

[endsthegame]

Ender laughed. "But I'll always be pretty in your memory," he said. "I can live with that."

[momslilassassin]

"Good," Ben said. "It's been almost thirty years, give or take a few centuries. I'm not going anywhere."

[endsthegame]

"Please don't put it like that," Ender murmured, "Or we'll get distracted planning our anniversary party."

[momslilassassin]

Ben laughed and nipped Ender's lower lip. "Since we're both such party people."

[endsthegame]

"Like the entire planet isn't going to show up regardless of whether we're party people," Ender said, smiling against his mouth.

[momslilassassin]

"The entire planet shows up because they're just that bored," Ben said. "And because they're busybodies who are far to invested in what Speaker Skywalker and his family are up to."

[endsthegame]

"We're interesting people," Ender said. "And I don't mean that in the smug sense."

[momslilassassin]

"True," Ben said. "And they needed someone else to talk about."

[endsthegame]

Ender sighed. "This is not particularly sexy, you know," he said.

He'd mostly given up hope that he could ever convince Ben to be rude about the Lusitanians, but in bed was where he drew the line.

[momslilassassin]

"Sorry," Ben said, closing his eyes and looking apologetic. "It's just, well, you know. Lusitania gets to me."

[endsthegame]

Not to be rude, even.

"I know," Ender said, with a little sigh. "C'mon?"

He kissed Ben's nose.

[momslilassassin]

Ben smiled and kissed him back. "I'm not wasting another minute of time here with you," he promised.

[endsthegame]

"That's better," Ender murmured. "I love you, oh complaining one."

[momslilassassin]

"I still don't deserve it," Ben whispered back, kissing him hard.

[endsthegame]

Ender sighed, and wrapped his arms around Ben. "You most certainly do," he murmured.

[momslilassassin]

Ben kissed him again. "I love you."

[endsthegame]

"Love you," Ender echoed softly, pressing kisses along Ben's cheek.

[momslilassassin]

Ben slid his fingers up along Ender's spine and tangled into his hair, pulling him closer.

[endsthegame]

Ender smiled, and hugged him close, pressing his face into Ben's shoulder.

[momslilassassin]

Ben rolled his hips a bit, smiling. "We don't have to worry about anything squeaking here, either."

[endsthegame]

Ender let out a happy gasp. "True," he murmured. "Did you have a plan?"

[momslilassassin]

"None at all," Ben admitted. "Pretend we're teenagers and not pull a muscle doing this, maybe?"

[endsthegame]

Ender laughed softly. "Low-impact handjobs?"
