Mm... well, I guess they're more like guidelines that I'm making up on a whim.
[Billy smiles and leans in to straddle him properly, the magic fading as he lets go of his flight to rest more comfortably on his boyfriend. It feels so different already; Teddy is broader like this, waist and thighs shifted to support the bulk of his powerful upper body, and sitting on him like this requires more of a stretch. Not for the first time he's grateful for his main exercises (and Zevran's lessons here and there) making this even possible. This would be very uncomfortable if he didn't have the flexibility to back him up.
Speaking of which- he stretches, arching his back and rolling his shoulders a little, then runs his fingers up Teddy's arms, exploring each and every contour the way they never have time for in the heat of battle. Parts of Teddy that he hasn't had the opportunity to touch like this before, when after this long it's felt like they know every inch of one another's body.
It's exciting, mysterious, like the first time he'd seen his boyfriend naked and been allowed to touch him. It feels very different, yes- leathery and armored, not at all like Teddy's usual soft skin- but he doesn't mind. It's like a second skin, and Teddy's just as soft and gentle as ever underneath it all.
And even under all that armor he can still feel the tension of Teddy's body. He leans in closer, nudging the material of Teddy's scarf aside to kiss a line along his neck. He's kissed Hulkling before, but never this intimately, never getting beneath the costume.]
Okay, next rule: don't be so nervous. It's just us, T- you and me, same as always. Do what feels natural.
