[barenakedspirit]

Yeah. I’ve been trying to figure out how to ask you for a week.

[Galo says as toys with Lio’s hair. His fingers run through the strands as he sighs.] Was getting to this point of just asking when we had a break.

[Better to ask over text while drunk. He laughs.] You’re moving in...glad you said yes. I’d have respected a no but...don’t have to worry about that.

[carrythetorch]

Like I'd say no.

[But he understands being nervous about it. He sure has hell hadn't mentioned it because he didn't want to make Galo uncomfortable or make the other man feel backed into a corner.

His hand settles on Galo's chest, fingers tracing invisible shapes over his skin. ...mostly hearts but shh they're invisible so no one can know how lame he is.]

Being with you feels like home. I didn't think I'd ever feel that way.

[Between the fading buzz and the afterglow, sentimental things keep slipping out before he can realize just how sentimental they are.]

[barenakedspirit]

Yeah, feels great doesn't it?

[He grins brightly then it fades into something small and content. He all but glows with happiness. Galo traces little hearts on Lio's back.]

Tomorrow, we'll get your stuff and anything you think we should add to the place. After we have a morning in.

[His smile turns wicked.] I promised you nudes.

[carrythetorch]

Yeah. It does.

[He snuggles in all the closer. He was never a snuggler before Glao. He's been ruined by this man. Entirely ruined, and he's never been happier about anything.

But oh.

OH. He perks up, peeking up at Galo with as innocent an expression as he can manage.]

You did. And I'm getting them. ...and video.

[A little movie. He will cherish it.]

[barenakedspirit]

[He's been dating Lio long enough he isn't fooled by that innocent look one bit. He raises an eyebrow.] Lio, how hard a time are you preparing for?

This sounds like you're hording for a long winter without! We don't even go a week without doing something.

[On days he has off they're a twice a day kind of people. It's going to be way easier to be that active with Lio moving in. Galo rests his hand on Lio's back as he says,]

Even if we went on vacation we know how half that time would be spent.

[carrythetorch]

[Galo, sweet, gentle Galo. All those things are true. Lio knows all those things are true. That is not the point. He's very grateful for their active sex life. He's very appreciative of the times they don't quite get that far and just wind up draped all over each other watching bad movies on the couch.

All of that is not the point either.

The point is. He wants nudes. And a little sex tape.

So still trying to look entirely innocent, he informs him,]

Any time we're not together feels like forever.

[See, Galo? You're not the only one who can do ridiculous lines with sincerity. Also...]

We should take a vacation.

[barenakedspirit]

[Galo snickers and wraps his arms around Lio to trap him up against his chest. There's no escaping him now. Not that he thinks Lio will even try to.] Does it?

I get it. Feels like I've known you for forever too! [Then he looks up at the ceiling. For him the job has been everything. He devoted himself saving lives. Even if the ideals he lived up to went crashing to the ground he still believes in the work they do.

But Lio isn't wrong. After all of that they need some time away. He suspects the Captain will push forward on Kray's case while he's gone. He makes a soft sound and presses his face against the crown of Lio's hair.] ...we should take a vacation. There's a whole world out there.

We could, I dunno go mountain climbing or something.

[carrythetorch]

[Woe is Lio, tapped up against Galo's chest. Clearly the worst place in the world to be. Except Lio definitely appreciates this exact spot more than just about anywhere else in the world.]

Mountain climbing.

[He repeats because well of course this bundle of ridiculous energy that he loves wants to run up a mountain.]

If there's an onsen near the top that sounds good.

[Please just let him soak up warmth somewhere for a while. He lifts his head to look at Galo.] I want to see as much of this world as we can. We saved it, right? We should get to know it better.

[barenakedspirit]

[Galo turns slightly, getting his arms more securely around Lio. He grabs the blankets and pulls them up over them.]

An Onsen would be great! Mm, we’ll figure it out. We have to get leave approved in the first place!

[Yes, they should see the world. It wouldn’t be forever and the job would be waiting for them when they got back.]

Shouldn’t be a problem. I don’t think it will be.

[carrythetorch]

Right, yeah. We'll have to plan it out.

[Get the okay from the captain. Important things. Galo is way too responsible to go about it any other way. And really, Lio isn't any different for all that he may try to sometimes pretend he's above it all. He's also too responsible to leave a team high and dry.

But once they do get it squared away. It'll be nice, to slip away from everything with Galo, for just a little while.]

After I get settled in here though. [He has things to move, Galo. He's excited about it too.]

[barenakedspirit]

Yeah! We got to move your stuff in and enjoy living together first. [Galo grins. The blankets are draped over them to his satisfaction and he's exhausted.]

I'm tired. ...we should finally get some sleep. Had a long day.

[carrythetorch]

[Ooh blankets. Good. Lio is a very content man right now, draped over his boyfriend, cuddled close, covered in blankets, warm and pleasantly sore and exhausted. A perfect night.

He leans up just enough to peck a quick kiss to Galo's lips.]

Sweet dreams, Galo.

[barenakedspirit]

[Galo wakes up when the sun filters through the blinds. He turns his head away from it and turns, wrapping his body around Lio.

He has the vague sense that he should get up. Get clean. But it’s dismissed as he settles in to fall back asleep. Then his phone beeps twice. Galo lifts his head from the pillow.

Beep. Beep.

He grumbles. He swats the phone off the bedside table. The phone keeps beeping from the floor. He ignores it then as he tucks Lio against his chest.] Ignore it. Stay in bed.

[carrythetorch]

[Lio snuggles in closer reflexively. No. Morning should stay far away and leave him his time here in bed with his boyfriend. He grumbles at the noise of the alarm and the beeping from Galo's phone that follows.

He nuzzles into Galo's chest to press a kiss there.]

Isn't that your phone? Is it important?

[God he wants it not to be. He wants to stay right here and let the moment drag on for a lazy morning in bed.]

[barenakedspirit]

It's not important. [He slides his fingers into Lio's hair. The softeness and the warmth of Lio is already starting to lull him back under. His phone stops beeping. Whoever tried to call him doesn't matter.

It's a day off and it wasn't one of the numbers he has noises programmed to that tell him it's urgent. The quiet settles back over them as he sighs.]

See? They'd call back if it was something needed. [More silence. Blissful silence. His other hand rubs Lio's back.]

[carrythetorch]

[Those fingers in his hair are a very convincing argument. Besides, Lio kind of likes the idea that Galo thinks cuddling with him in the morning is more important than whatever is buzzing on his phone. He's pleased when it stops though, sighing a quiet sound of relief and pressing another kiss to Galo's chest.

Galo's excellent chest. His boyfriend was clearly made to be shirtless. How is he supposed to resist just a quick bite at that pec? The answer is, he's not. At all. So just a quick, affectionate little bite.]

Good. Means you're mine a little longer.

[barenakedspirit]

[His breath catches in his throat. Sleep suddenly isn't that important. He gives light encouraging tug to Lio's hair. His fingers scratch down his back, tracing over the sharp lines of his shoulder blades.]

I'm always yours. Feeling frisky already? [Like he's one to talk. He's started his fair share of lazy early morning sex.]

[carrythetorch]

[That is very gratifying, the way Galo's breath hitches. Exactly what he was hoping for. Of course, Galo returns the favor and his own voice is catching at the tug to his hair.]

My Galo...

[He whines lowly, another scrape of his teeth at his collarbone before he dips his tongue into the hollow of his throat.]

Can't help it. I woke up next to a sexy firefighter.

[barenakedspirit]

Yeah, I know that feeling. [He says as he offers up more of his neck and throat to Lio. He likes to remind Lio he’s hot as hell too.

Because he damn well is. He is the cool under pressure kind of guy that’s soul burns as hot as his own. He can always see it in his eyes when that fire is raging. It’s his and his alone to see it when they’re in bed together like this. Galo stretches out and tugs lightly on Lio’s hair again.] Yours...all yours.

[Fuck. His breath is already uneven and a little irregular. He shamelessly leans into his touch and watches him through his messy bangs.]

[carrythetorch]

Smooth.

[Lio informs him, teasingly, even as he leans up to take full advantage of that bared neck, kissing his way up and along the line of Galo's neck, up to catch his earlobe between his teeth.

He nudges at Galo to lie back so he can drape himself over the other man and find his lips finally for a lingering, unhurried kiss.]

You owe me a photo shoot.

[barenakedspirit]

[He lays back as Lio paints fire on his skin. He tightens his grip on Lio’s hair and shivers when warm lips find the sensitive spot just under his jaw.

His breath escapes in a rush and he groans as teeth close on the edge of his ear. The heat of Lio above him, over him stirs up need and he basks in it.

Galo grins and their lips meet. It’s a slow, leisurely kiss. He lifts a hand, gently urging Lio’s mouth open with his thumb. He wants to taste him. But Lio seems to have other ideas.

He draws back enough to talk then leans back in.]

Yeah, I know. Want me to get the blinds so ya got the best lighting?

[carrythetorch]

[There will be time for kissing. There's no way in hell that they don't get themselves wound up for this. Hell, he's already wound up thinking about it. Maybe he'll see if Galo will let them transition from photoshoot to full on video.

But first things first.]

Yeah, get the blinds. I want to be able to see.

[Lighting. Good pictures. Things for him to treasure, clearly.]

[barenakedspirit]

[Galo snorts and carefully slips out of bed. He walks over to the balcony doors covered in horizontal blinds and adjusts them.

The room is bathed in the golden light of the rising sun. It strips the shadows from the room. Galo stretches his arms over his head, one then the other.] Should probably clean up too. We didn’t do it last night.

[Probably after. He returns to bed and stretches out in the warmly lit sheets. He could fall back asleep like that if he hadn’t been promised an exciting morning in their bed.]

[carrythetorch]

We'll get to that. We're going to be making more of a mess anyway.

[So they can wash up after. Because in addition to pictures, Lio has other plans. Or at least something of a wishlist. But for the moment he rolls to the side of the bed and grabs his phone, standing and taking a few steps back, enough to get a good view of Galo who is... really unfairly beautiful.

So before Galo gets a chance to notice and pose or anything, Lio snaps a couple photos of him just lying there, drenched in light, stretching out.]

Touch yourself for me?

[barenakedspirit]

[He raises an eyebrow but doesn't comment. Galo turns his head to watch Lio move. He looks like a lion painted in golds and oranges as the sun continues to rise. Muscle moves under warm skin. He wants him back in this bed, his mouth on his skin, following where the light touches.

He runs his thumb over one nipple and pinches it. His other hand slides down, over his hard abs and follows the toned thigh, denying them both what he wants so badly.]

Like this? [His voice is deeper, eyes on Lio as his breath comes out faster.]
