...do you have a few minutes to spare?

For you? Absolutely.

Shall I come to you?

You can, sure. I don't have anything particular in mind. I just wanted to spend some time with you.

Come over and watch dramas, then. We'll eat grapes and then make out on the couch.

[When in doubt, he can be relied upon to come up with a plan.]

[ The bright warm glow of happiness is audible enough in his voice. ]

Perfect! I'll be right there.

[ He doesn't try to avoid the door this time but he does wait in the doorway and knock against the frame. ]

Jedao has conceded to local expectations; the door waits for John to knock before opening.

"Coming!" Jedao calls from the kitchen, where he's collecting fruit.

John will poke his head in.

"Do you need any help with anything?"

"I don't, but you could come carry me anyway," Jedao points out blithely.

John never knows what to do when Jedao is so... indulgent. The urge to touch and be close and coil around those he likes?

He comes into the kitchen and a starry tentacle slides around his waist in a greeting hug.

"Thank you for making time for me," he says warmly.

"I didn't make the time. It was just lying around, really. But now you have improved it."

Jedao holds the bowl of assembled fruit (and some raw vegetables) to the side balanced on his forearm so that he can lean against John's chest, then go on tiptoe to kiss him a little.

The limb around his waist will lift just a little to help Jedao reach as he leans down for a few kisses. It's so nice to just feel happy and loved and love back.

He'll nuzzle to Jedao's cheek in between kisses.

Jedao laughs softly, just warm and pleased.

"Are you going to scoop me up or not, handsome?"

He's getting fond of John's blocky new face. And the shoulders count for a lot.

Scoop. Tentacles lift up and then arms are the ones supporting Jedao in one smooth motion, the kissy nuzzly affection never quite pausing.

"It's easy to get lost in loving you," he says easily enough. "You're very lovable."

Jedao wriggles a little in John's steady hold, just for the pleasure of knowing he's secure, giggling a little.

"You can get lost if you want. I'm a good navigator, I'll look out for you."

Does he have any data to support this claim? Not really. He feels like it should be true, though. He's a moth.

That earns him a low, sinister-sounding laugh. Nothing sinister to it, that's just how he sounds. The affection continues to be soft and sweet.

"I appreciate that."

And since he's the one with the legs at the moment:

"To the couch?"

"Yeah." Jedao's voice gets a little deeper, rough and warm. He's trying to keep things light and playful for now, to go at John's pace; he's obviously been starved for easy affection more than anything else. John's chest is right there, though, and he loves the sound of John's laugh, rumbling so close and warm; there's basically no way he's not getting a little horny about it right away.

He'll give Jedao one sweet kiss to the cheek before he walks over and sits down, Jedao in his lap. He'll offer a hand if Jedao wants him to put the food on a side table. He buries his face against the hair at the side of Jedao's head before dipping down to nuzzle below his jaw a little.

I feel better. I wanted to feel better with you.

"Is that right, honey?" Jedao rumbles, his already-low voice dropping another half-octave, rumbling in his throat right below where John is nuzzling him. Jedao lets John take the bowl, too, the better to stroke a slow, idle hand down his spine.

"How do you want to feel better?"

Edited 2024-03-10 21:09 (UTC)

Mmm, that's so nice. The feel of it against his cheek and jaw and how it sounds so close and the feel of Jedao's hands on him.

I already do. I just... like being with you. I like knowing that when all the emotion wells up in my chest, I can just kiss you. Or when you make a certain sound and I know how to make you feel even better, I can. You should know that you're wonderful to be with.

"John Doe, are you calling me easy?" Jedao asks, voice warm through a broad, sly grin.

Yes.

And there's not a hint of a pause on that.

You're so easy to be with. Sometimes, I worry about it, but then I realize you wouldn't want me to and that part of it is that I trust you to tell me if there's something you don't want and it's easier not to worry.

Jedao laughs softly. He likes being easy, in a warm squirmy way in the bottom of his stomach, but he's not surprised John thinks of it mostly in the nice way. He strokes a hand through John's hair.

"I would," he promises, because it's always nice to have another little reassurance, he figures. "I like being easy for you. I'm trying to figure out if I should stay mellow or escalate. Tell me what you want most so I don't fret about it."

He'll take a moment to lean into the touches, to enjoy them thoroughly, before he opens his eyes again and looks to Jedao.

"What's 'escalate', in this case?"

He can guess but this is still so very new. Better to ask.

"You so like to get a reaction," Jedao muses. "I was wondering if I should teach you how I like my cock sucked." He massages the back of John's neck a little, hands heavy and reminiscent of their first encounter.

Jedao will get to watch the spark light up in his eyes; he is absolutely right.

"I like to watch you experience things," he says, because when so much of your existence was watching and not doing or feeling or smelling or tasting, 'voyeur' is less of a result and more of an only option. It just hasn't gone anywhere since he got those other options.

He nods.

"I would like that, yes." A pause. "...we'd have to pause the drama."
