For Reeve

[emovampboy]

When it came to use of his phone, Vincent was very much like Cloud. He left it on, received messages and listened to or read them, but quite rarely responded. The few times he did respond tended to be if he deemed an actual answer to be required, or when from time to time Marlene got hold of Cloud or Tifa's phone and contacted him. Since it was so rare for her to do so, he always took it as a good thing to answer.

Which meant he had answered when she called him a few days after a message from Tifa asking him to come to a party for the girl, which he had ignored; his first mistake. Once answered, the girl had spent several minutes speaking to him, until suddenly springing the question of if he were coming to her party and making it quite impossible for him to really say no without seeming like a total heel, and so he agreed to go; his second mistake. And then he had made his third mistake - actually going.

At first, it really wouldn't have seemed to have been a bad idea. He knew everyone who was invited, how they acted around one another, and that Tifa would keep the whole group from going completely crazy over the course of the night, but he had not expected having to assist in breaking up one of Cloud and Barrett's squabbles when the woman had to leave for a short time to fetch something, and honestly he was glad that Reeve was invited and could help diffuse the situation with; especially when Yuffie and a very unhelpful Cid decided it would be a great idea to bet on who would win if they actually took to fistacuffs over whatever stupid thing it was this time which set them off.

All of this had left him rather done with company, and as soon as Tifa was back to be the adult in the situation, he'd snuck outside for some relative peace and quiet.

Vincent watches quietly, waiting for Reeve to seem done before drawing his hand away gently, a small blush still omn his cheeks. "I should wash, and get you something to wash with too..."

[plate_builder]

"Frankly, I should probably seek the shower," Reeve admits. but the prospect of walking is not high up on the order of things he wants to do right now. At all.

Ever again. Let him melt in contentment into this pleasure.

[emovampboy]

"You can do so later." Vincent moves to the bathroom to wet some washcloths, giving himself a quick wipe down before moving over to hand Reeve a different cloth. "Here..."

[plate_builder]

Reeve offers Vincent a thankful smile before cleaning himself off a bit. After that he rolls back onto his stomach, the most comfortable position he can find. And he offers Vincent a smile.

"Once I can move, I'll shift to the other bed."

[emovampboy]

"You're fine there." Vincent remarks, shifting to lay beside Reeve and drawing the sheets over them both.

[plate_builder]

"But the bed is going to be disgusting later," he protests with a sigh. No, it's not that simple, Vincent. But for now it will be enough.

For now.

[emovampboy]

"Should I move us both there, then?"

[plate_builder]

"For now I don't think I could move if I wanted. But if you're willing to move me, I won't stay no. Especially if it keeps me in your arms."

What, he wants to be close right now and he can't think of anything more valuable than that.

[emovampboy]

Reeve really is sort of cheesy, Vincent realizes. Certainly he is better at speaking than Vincent, despite the cheesiness.

Either way, Vincent stands and goes to turn down the other bed, before moving back to lift Reeve and bring him to it, before lying down next to him. "Better?"

[plate_builder]

"Better," Reeve smiles, moving to curl up to Vincent. This is perfect.

"Thank you, Vincent. Two days and you've about changed my life."

[emovampboy]

"...You're welcome." Vincent strokes Reeve's hair, then drawing the blankets.

[plate_builder]

Reeve happily curls against Vincent, hand coming up to slip into Vincent's hair. Because yeah, he likes how soft it feels.

[emovampboy]

"Rest well, Reeve."

[plate_builder]

Morning comes, as it always does. For all that Reeve had intended to wake enough to get clean, he hadn't bothered to. He was just too content to wake up. Of course then his phone chimes his alarm.

"Don't wanna get up," he whines as he curls against Vincent.

[emovampboy]

Vincent hasn't bothered to move much from where he was the night before, though he has awoken long before Reeve, and so makes a small sound which sounds almost like a laugh at the remark.

"When does your security expect you?"

[plate_builder]

"Half an hour," Reeve sighs. "I have to go back to my place, change for work. I can't miss another day."

Which he hates. He leans in and kisses Vincent briefly. Too briefly for his tastes.

"I still want to go away with you. Some time away from duties."

[emovampboy]

"You're welcome to once you arrange some time off." Vincent runs his fingers through Reeve's hair as he speaks. "You can shower here if you like."

[plate_builder]

"I'll shower at home, where I can change into clean clothes," Reeve smiles. "A week. I'll call you when I have details for how to get this all worked out."

He offers a soft smile and then leans in for one last kiss. Then gets to his feet to start gathering his discarded clothes from the night before. Needs to pack up his things and meet his security.

[emovampboy]

Vincent stands as Reeve does, moving to grab his own clothes, and nodding faintly. "Do you think you'll be able to get the time off for a whole week?"

[plate_builder]

"I'll do everything I can to manage it," Reeve says. He needs it.

Needs it more than he can even explain.

[emovampboy]

"If not, I'll just come visit when I can." Vincent assures. "I suppose I should shower and head out, myself."

[plate_builder]

"Don't discount my ability to make time when there is something I truly want," Reeve counters. He does move to Vincent to kiss him briefly before heading for the door. "Thank you, Vincent, for offering me a bed the other night."

Because it had put him in a position to make a food of himself. And more than that, to gain the attentions of a man he desired.

[emovampboy]

"Then I'll make sure I have enough for two ready." He takes the kiss, but before Reeve can get fully to the door, Vincent grabs his arm gently and leans in to give a more proper kiss to the other man. "I think I can honestly say you're welcome to any bed I have, any time."

[plate_builder]

Oh, that second kiss. Reeve just about melts at the idea of Vincent being forceful at taking what he wants. To have the man be so affectionate, to have that just for him is intense.

"Thank you, Vincent. Thank you so much. I'll contact you soon as soon as I have information."

[emovampboy]

Vincent nods softly. "I'll also look into Shinra in the meantime."
