Gian was the one closest to the said cabinet and he opened it up to get the canned tomato soup. Two of them. "Let's make it," he suggested as he grinned up at Alfie. Hebs, though, had heard them and he opened the door. "You sure you two want to?"
"You look like you want to take a hot bath." Hebs' cheeks colored just a tad and he rubbed the side of his neck with his free hand. "Just be sure to add a bit of meat and mushroom." |
"Oh, no," Alfie piped up, looking serious. "...No, no, no...ah...I, ah...do you even remember what happened the last time I tried to make something myself?" he huffed, looking at Shadow in particular. Alfie was a terrible cook. He had once tried to heat up a TV dinner for himself and had almost blown the microwave up. The TV dinner had been reduced to nothing but ash.
Shadow shuddered, grinning slightly. "I suppose it's up to you, then, Gian," he said, nodding. |
Gian chuckled. "Just give me what I need then," he told him as he handed the cans to Alfie, "You can open a can, can't you?" Waving Hebs and Shadow away, the man started to heat up the pan and get the mushroom and meat from the fridge. Hebs, on the other hand, looked worried as he stepped out from the kitchen and dropped his hand back to his side.
Though... it would be nice to soak in a tub of hot water... "Shadow, you don't mind me using your tub, do you?" he asked as he looked at him, "The heater in mine's not working today." He had to take a shower not very long ago with ice-cold water and it wasn't fun at all. |
"...I can try."
Alfie took the cans uncertainly and just stood there, looking confused. "What do I open them with?" he finally asked, looking like a child being asked to answer a college-level question. He really had no clue...Shadow wouldn't let him anywhere near the kitchen if food was being prepared because he had bad luck when it came to cooking... Shadow chuckled softly, patting Hebs on the shoulder. "Of course. I need to change into pajamas and settle down for a nap, anyway...I don't plan on using the tub tonight." |
Gian put the ingredients on the counter and took a knife and a can opener. Putting the knife with the ingredients, he motioned for Alfie to put it on the table. "Come on. I'll show you how to work the can opener." Once the other had put the cans on the table, he went behind Alfie and put the can opener in one hand. Gian showed Alfie how to open it and even directed him with his hands guiding his own. His back was pressed up against the Naga's own and his chin was resting on his shoulder.
"Do you get it? Do you want me to show you again?" Hebs smiled at that. "Thanks." Leaning in, he kissed him lightly on the cheek and playfully nipped at his earlobe. "I'll take your bathroom then tonight." With that said, he went on ahead to his bedroom to get his clothes and towel before heading into Shadow's bathroom. |
Alfie purposely leaned back against Gian as he demonstrated with the can opener, half-paying attention. Really, he was just focused on needing food at the moment, and he was also distracted by the warmth of the human. "...Hm? Oh, ah...yeah. I get it," he replied, honestly. He knew how to work with that little doodad now, and he wasn't going to forget it. He just hoped he didn't injure himself in the process...
Shadow smiled, watching him leave and then return with his clothing and towel. Once Hebs was in the bathroom, Shadow proceeded to fetch pajamas for himself to change into. He wanted to relax. |
Gian nodded and he took the opened can to put it aside. Taking the unopened can, he continued to stay where he was as he nodded. "Try it. I'll watch." He put the hands on the edge of the table, on either sides of the others' hips. His eyes were trained on the can, seemingly comfortable with the way the other was leaning against him.
Hebs had already taken off his shirt when he'd seen Shadow going to his closet to get himself pajamas. "You sure you don't want to soak in the tub with me?" he asked as he blinked. He thought he'd offer it since the other looked so... tired. "I can give you a little massage, too." |
Alfie pouted slightly, not wanting to try it his first time in front of Gian and fail miserably, even though it would be funny. He nabbed the can opener and the can and set to work. It took him a rather long time, but he was eventually able to dislodge the lid from the can. "Hah! Done."
Shadow blinked, his pajama shirt across his arm and his hand on a pair of pants. "...I don't want to intrude," he said, a bit sheepishly. "...But if you don't mind, a bath and a massage sound nice...." |
Gian watched Alfie and he smield when he'd heard his words. Done, indeed. It had him laughing lightly. "That wasn't so hard now, was it?" he asked him before he'd taken the open cans and put them on the counter. He quickly cut up the ingredients and then cooked them before pouring the soup in.
"I don't mind," he said with a smile. He shouldn't. After all, hadn't they shared something intimate a few days ago? Undoing his pants, the snake teen set his wet clothes aside and got into the tub. He let out a deep sigh of satisfaction before he'd dipped his head in and surfaced to push his hair back slick and away from his face. |
Alfie looked like he felt accomplished, which was a rather funny thing considering all he did was open a can. It must have meant something to him, though, because he'd really never done it before. He sniffed the air cheerily and made a few excited circles on the floor with the tip of his tail. His tail tended to twitch and almost wag excitedly when he was happy.
They had. But Shadow didn't want to push his luck, not yet anyway, considering he could not fully return his feelings until he spoke to Damon about it, or at the very least got over it himself. He set his pajamas on the floor near the door and took a few minutes to slip out of his performing clothes, which were somewhat elaborate. Once he'd managed to tug those off, he joined Hebs in the tub, running some water up over his hair to get it wet. |
Gian grinned at Alfie. He quickly finished the soup and prepared two bowls he filled with it. They were hot and he had to hurry and put them on the counter before he'd waved his hands a little in the air. "Could you get us some spoons?" he asked as he licked his lips. He was getting hungry himself.
Hebs made space for Shadow when he'd joined him in the tub and he helped him get his hair wet before he'd pushed those strands over his shoulder. Using the soap, he rubbed some on the others' back before he'd started slow strokes over his shoulder to get the kinks off. "I've never told you this before but your skin's really smooth. Do fallen angels really have skin this flawless?" |
Alfie nabbed a couple of spoons out of one of the drawers and held one out to Gian, looking eager. He was starving and wanted to get to eating that soup as soon as possible. He was, by now, almost completely dry. His scales acted almost like down feathers, keeping him dry and safe from water.
Shadow gave a soft sigh when Hebs started to work on his shoulders, allowing his eyes to drift shut. He liked getting massages, but he could also give a good massage, himself. "...Mm...angels are blessed with good looks...beautiful skin...the works, really," he murmured, confirming Hebs' suspicions. "My looks did not change once I became a fallen angel--rather, I was allowed to keep the good looks." |
Gian took one of the spoons. He, too, was drying up. At least, his skin was. His clothes, on the other hand, were damp. One taste of the tomato soup and he found himself in bliss. One after the other followed and he grinned as he noted the mushroom and meat giving it extra flavor. "Hebs really do know how to make things taste even better."
Hebs hummed thoughtfully as he worked on Shadow's arms next and moved up to his neck. Once he was sure he was done with the top, he had moved down to the man's lower back. He had paused for a second or two though when his shoulder had started to hurt. It made him frown and he reached up to give it a little massage only to wince and hold onto his shoulder in reaction. That had hurt. "How'd you become a fallen angel?" |
"Mm...yeah..." Alfie had just taken his first few bites of the soup as well, and his expression made it clear that the soup tasted heavenly. Shadow and Hebs were the two most talented chefs in the house--he had to admit that. No one else could cook like they did.
Shadow noticed that Hebs stopped and he glanced back towards him, looking concerned when he took notice of his shoulder. "...Why don't we turn the tables for once? I can massage you," he offered, pleasantly. He seemed to have no problems with that...hopefully, he wouldn't get confused by the myriad of feelings for the other male that he was attempting to crush down. "I just...well...I quit being an angel. One day I woke up and declared that I was leaving, that I didn't feel like I belonged. That is how I 'fell.'" |
Indeed. Even Gian would agree to such a thing. Gian silently drank the soup and smiled, mostly to himself. He had definitely found a home with all of them.
Hebs blinked for a second or two before he'd slowly nodded. "If it's not much to ask," he said, shifting to turn around and give Shadow his back. His hand, which was massaging his shoulder not very long ago, had moved to his arm while he listened to him speak. "Did angels really have wings of the sorts?" He turned to look over his shoulder at Shadow with his eyebrows raised just a tad. |
Alfie was finished with his bowl before Gian--as to be expected, considering he was a real pig. He set the bowl down on the counter, letting loose a long, satisfied sigh. "Well...I'm tired out, now. You want to go and take a nap?"
Shadow stretched his fingers out a moment before he started his massage. He didn't dare to touch that tender shoulder, yet--instead, he just focused on his lower back for the time being. "Angels do have wings. Fallen angels have wings, as well. I do have wings," he admitted, grinning slightly. "I just...they're hidden. And I don't take them out very often anymore." |
Gian was still finishing his own bowl when Alfie had asked that question. "Yeah," he replied with a grin and a nod before he'd resumed eating. He finished a few minutes later and was rinsing the bowls before he'd left them in the sink. He also let out a satisfied sigh and took Alfie's hand into his own while he made his way to his room. His bed was a lot bigger, after all, and the more space they had, the better.
Hebs' back straightened out when Shadow had started on his lower back and he looked forward as he listened to him. "Do you stretch them out?" he asked as he tilted his head a little, "You do need to stretch them out, right?" |
Alfie gladly took the human's hand and allowed him to lead him back to his room. He didn't mind sleeping in Gian's room--not in the least. After all, he had chosen the smallest room in the place. He automatically assumed that they would have more space to rest and relax in in Gian's room.
Shadow grimaced a little, and was somewhat glad Hebs couldn't see that grimace. "...I do, yes. But..." he paused as he raised his hands, massaging his upper back and soon gingerly coming to that shoulder, which he worked at with obvious care and gentleness. "It needs to be in a place where no one can see or hear. It's actually a rather gruesome thing..." |
Gian shut the door behind him and only let go of Alfie's hand to go get himself a change of clothes. "Go sleep ahead. I'll just take a quick shower." He wouldn't want to catch anything after all, much less have the other freaks get sick because of him. Grinning at Alfie, he turned to look at him. "If you want to join me in the tub, though, you're free to."
With that, he went on into the bathroom and stripped off his clothes to get under the shower head and start washing himself. Hebs let out a little pleased, "Mm," when his upper back was massaged. When the other had gotten to that shoulder, he flinched a little at the way it was being treated and let his eyes slide shut while his features turned to one of pain. Once the muscles were straightened out though, he let out a deep sigh and a little groan. That felt better. Thankfully. His features had even turned to one of pleasure and relaxation. |
Alfie snickered in Gian's direction. "Maybe another time, yeah? I'm real tired...and if I catch a human illness, it'll be magnified tenfold considering I'm more cold-blooded than warm-blooded...sucks..." Getting sick was something that could be fatal for the poor naga. His body, though half-human, took sickness in a terrible manner. He had almost died as a child from pneumonia, and Shadow had had to take care of him very carefully when he had contracted strep throat one time...
He settled down in Gian's bed, making a little nest out of the blankets so he could rest comfortably. Shadow, despite seeing the pain on the other male's face, continued to massage his shoulder, knowing it would start to feel better eventually. The small noises that Hebs made while being massaged appealed, of course, to his more frisky side. Shadow was not known for concealing his libido when he was in the mood, not at all. |
Gian didn't bother to reply. Not that he had to. After all, he did say he was going to join him in bed after a quick shower. In a matter of minutes, the teen had finished and he turned off the shower to grab his towel and dry himself. Vigorously rubbing at his hair, he put the towel around his neck and changed into his boxers. He'd decided to leave himself half naked for the time being since the weather was pretty hot.
Moving to his bed and hanging the towel on the headboard, he joined Alfie and put up the sheets around them before he'd snuggled up against him. He, yet again, nudged the others' head up a bit and wrapped his arms around him and let out a quiet sigh of satisfaction. Hebs groaned and he lolled his head over to the other side with his eyes still shut. That really did feel awfully good. "Thanks," the snake teen said, his voice barely a whisper. Further relaxing into those hands, he let out another light groan. "Been a while since I've gotten a massage from you." |
Alfie purred quietly, cuddling up against the warm human in nearly less than a second. Being cool-skinned himself, the extra warmth that Gian was providing felt quite nice. He didn't seem to mind that the other boy was almost completely naked--after all, Alfie technically slithered around nude all the time anyway...
He nuzzled Gian pointedly, making a small sound of contentment. "It has been. And it's not a problem," Shadow crooned, allowing his hands to work their magic. Those sharp golden eyes of his didn't miss a single movement Hebs made. He was studying him closely to make sure he was providing him with the utmost pleasure. After all, that was what the fallen angel liked in his massages. |
Gian chuckled at Alfie's nuzzling and purring. The naga could be rather cute despite his form. His fingers lightly trailed about on the others' skin before they came to a stop and he had fallen asleep.
Damn. If Shadow continued on with what he was doing, Hebs was going to feel things he shouldn't be feeling. The massage was too good. The snake man's head tilted forward a little as his shoulders dropped down and moved a little. Blood was circulating all around and one part of his body seem to be getting more of that. That wasn't a good sign at all. Hell, the little flush on Hebs cheeks couldn't be missed. |
Alfie joined him in sleep just a few moments later, a smile lingering on his face. As Shadow had mentioned more than once, Alfie loved to cuddle and he slept better with a warm body next to him. He was almost like a big, scaly teddy bear.
Shadow grinned rather widely, not missing anything at all. He moved his hands down the other's arms slowly, applying just the right bit of pressure, before he returned to his shoulders. He was not going to bring up the possibility of furthering this--no, he would leave that to Hebs... |
Hebs reached up to put his hand over Shadow's own, which was on his shoulder and turned to look over his shoulder at the fallen angel. He was, yet again, captivated by his beauty and he, much as he wanted to look away, found himself looking straight into those eyes. His cheeks couldn't have grown any more rosier. "Is it all right if we..." he trailed off and cleared his throat. How do people say it again in a more subtle tone?
[[ Wooooo. Do we move them to messengers? XD ]] |
