The box is there when he wakes, settled at the edge of the bed and almost hidden by Aramis' kicked up sheets. He stares down at it for a long moment, listening to Porthos move about in the kitchen, and when he is awake enough, Aramis drags the box to him to open.
Looking down at its surprising contents, Aramis smiles.
"Washing up!" he calls, exiting the bed with box in hand straight to the bathroom, where he wastes no time, fingers busy with more than the work of slipping the silk up and over his legs. If he is surprised, Aramis is equal parts impressed, stunned, and more warm than he's ever been in his life.
When at last he is set to rights, Aramis gives the corset a last tug and opens the bathroom door, walking the short distance to linger in the bedroom doorway. He gazes at Porthos' back as he rummages in the pantry and smiles, leaning his hip against the frame. "I believe I'll need some help with the string."

Date: 2014-11-24 06:25 am (UTC)Aramis settles back against the sheets. "A small country inn, with meals made for us like they would have been at home, horses and broad swathes of land, forest trees to kiss against." His smile turns sly. "Perhaps more. How have we not yet made love where the stars could see?"

Date: 2014-11-24 08:25 pm (UTC)Porthos huffs out a bemused laugh as he rolls out of bed and wanders to grasp the camera, taking a photograph with his phone as he positions it so that it will capture Aramis fully, grinning at the image in the little frame. He switches it around so that Aramis can take a look at it. Once he hands over the phone, he takes his time slowly, slowly cleaning him again.
"We can go back to wherever we pick in the summer. Spread out a blanket, bring picnicking foods, and woo you," he murmurs fondly.

Date: 2014-11-24 09:26 pm (UTC)"Our vision board is quickly becoming a private matter," Porthos murmurs, the words pressed up against Aramis' skin as he gives him a bemused raise of his brow. "Are you an easy sell, hm? You're making it so that I might not need to put in any effort. No more nice clothes, all sweats. No more nice dinners, only the easy stuff," he teases, setting aside the cloth to hoist Aramis into his arms swiftly.

Date: 2014-11-25 03:09 am (UTC)"Sparkling dark eyes, dimples I could fit my thumbs into, a smile fit to rival the sunrise...I gave that dream up for lost, naturally, but you are an excellent substitute."

Date: 2014-11-25 11:50 am (UTC)When he's through, he wanders back to Aramis' side and takes in the wonderful view of his bare body. "You're so beautiful," he murmurs fondly, sitting down next to him so he can splay his palm on his chest, moving it slowly up and down. "I think you know it, but you have no idea how beautiful you really are."

Date: 2014-11-26 12:53 am (UTC)He grins as he palms Aramis' hips with both hands and uses sheer strength to lift Aramis over a foot to his right, room for Porthos to crawl in and drape one leg over both of Aramis' while he throws his arm over his chest, chin on his shoulder. "You hurting?" he murmurs quietly.

Date: 2014-11-26 02:14 am (UTC)Peering upwards towards the ceiling, Porthos wonders if Athos is still as miserable. "Does he seem happier to you? I can never tell. I'm not as good at reading Athos as you are."
no subject
Date: 2014-11-26 02:26 am (UTC)Still, he sighs, resting his head against the pillows to stare at the ceiling. "He is closer to accepting he is trapped here, and that life must be different. That is not nothing."
