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!]

Ender laughed. "Mm, you're welcome to," he hummed, nipping at Ben's jaw. "Just don't expect me to go off again."

[momslilassassin]

"I won't," Ben said. "It'll still feel good, though."

He paused for a second. "Right?"

[endsthegame]

Ender touched his face. "Before we figured out how to make it good for me," he said, "I used to like it just because it made us close."

[momslilassassin]

Ben rested his forehead against Ender's. "But that was twenty years ago."

[endsthegame]

Ender cupped his cheek in full. "Mhm," he said, "But I still enjoy being close to you."

[momslilassassin]

"I love you so much sometimes that I can hardly breathe," Ben whispered.

[endsthegame]

"Please do breathe," Ender said, kissing him gently on the mouth, "I love you best alive."

[momslilassassin]

Ben laughed softly. "Good to hear."

[endsthegame]

Ender smiled, and slid his legs up until they were propped up beside Ben's hips. "You've got me, love."

[momslilassassin]

Ben took a long moment to admire the view. "I do," he agreed, voice husky and low.

[endsthegame]

Ender stretched his arms out above his head and raised his eyebrows. "Going to come get me?"

[momslilassassin]

Ben let out a little whimper. "Kuso. Yes, please."

[endsthegame]

Ender reached for the nightstand and put the bottle down on his chest.

He looked up at Ben with a faint smirk.

[momslilassassin]

"The things you do to me," Ben breathed, leaning in for a searing kiss.

[endsthegame]

Ender returned it gladly, sliding his arms over Ben's shoulders. "I try," he murmured, kissing Ben again.

[momslilassassin]

"You succeed," Ben said, "my brilliant, beautiful, patient husband."

He slicked up his hand and moved it places.

[endsthegame]

Ender let out a little gasp, tilting his hips more to make it easier. "Flattery's getting you a lot of places right now."

[momslilassassin]

Ben burst out laughing. "Did you just make the worst pun ever?" he asked, twisting his fingers.

[endsthegame]

Ender shivered, largely by reflex. "Made you laugh."

[momslilassassin]

"You do," Ben said, leaning in and kiss him again. "I love you for it."

[endsthegame]

Ender rocked his hips gently into Ben's hand.

Just to help him out. Honest. "I just love seeing you laugh," he murmured.

[momslilassassin]

"Haven't been doing a lot of it lately, huh?" Ben murmured back, keeping his hand at a steady pace.

He was going to draw this out too.

[endsthegame]

"Less than you used to," Ender said softly.

Coming to Lusitania, releasing the Hive Queen - it had taken an enormous, horrible weight off Ender's shoulders. He had become lighter. Ben seemed to be heading in the opposite direction.

[momslilassassin]

Ben kissed him. "I'll work on it," he promised. "Being here helped."

The relief of being able to talk without expecting the neighbors to hear everything was freeing.

[endsthegame]

Ender kissed him back, letting out another quiet sigh at the sensation of Ben's fingers. "If we ever get the opportunity to leave," he said, "I promise I'll take it seriously."
