Aramis is no longer in the mood to celebrate Halloween. After the trials of the strange, gray nightmare world he and those he loves dearest had found themselves in, after watching the people he loves hurt again and again, it's not for the purpose of celebration that Aramis outfits himself into costume.

The motorcycle is newly purchased, the license newer still, and Aramis swings a leg over it, leathers creaking as he settles. He rides quickly across town to where Porthos will be waiting for him, and as the wind whips through his hair, he lets Aramis fall away.

He doesn't have to be that man for a few hours. He doesn't have to wonder if the city that has given him so much will try to hurt him again, hurt Athos or Porthos, or their future family. He doesn't have to pretend that he's been sleeping when he has not, or that everything is alright when it certainly isn't. Just for an evening, he doesn't have to be himself, worrying incessantly about the things he can't control.

Pulling up in front of the shelter, he lets the motorcycle engine roar once before he sets the engine to idle. He breathes deep, exhaling with an almost bored sound as he waits for his charge.

Isaac listens thoughtfully, humming for the description. "I must be very boring after having such a rich man," he jokes, his eyes closed as he lets the touch warm him, overwhelming him with gratitude to still be here to enjoy this. "You're beginning to make me think that you're very easy to turn on," he teases. "Or is it just bartenders and blue eyes."
du_vallon: (respectful)

Isaac snorts as he leans back a little more, pitching an amused look over his shoulder. "Well, I should hope I'm not boring, given my job, though I have to say, I'm under some very strict instructions that didn't make sense until I met you. My superior has given me a firm mandate that I'm beginning to feel I might not be able to meet."

"Oh, it's not you," Isaac promises with a fond smile. "Only, my Commander knows how my eye tends to stray," he admits wryly, shrugging sheepishly like he's a bit of a troublemaker himself. "I don't know if I should say yes. I'm trying to behave, after all."

"Much better," he promises, feeling his actual tension having bled away, but the proximity of Rene's mouth to his ear makes him shiver in a way that starts to test his resolve. "Maybe I'll woo you away from your high-paying job and suggest you become a low-paid masseuse for me."
du_vallon: (this is not a good plan)

He drifts right into that well-placed touch, moaning desperately for it. He only wants more of it, even though he knows he shouldn't and that Treville would be furious with him if he gave in. That's what comes of having an uncle as your commander. "And if you had your oils, I would be tempted to so much more," he sighs.

"I should be good," he laments.

"Am I special, then?" Isaac wonders, shifting as he tries to get away, but finds himself lured right back to that blissful touch that he can't ignore. "Do you do this for all your clients?" he asks, as another shiver overwhelms him.
du_vallon: (overly fond)

[personal profile] du_vallon 2015-10-30 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
"I do want it," he exhales, barely more than a tiny whisper as he moans and leans forward, trying to get himself away from the danger. "Rene," he pleads. "I'm going to get in trouble. You're going to get in trouble," he says. "I should go to my room and go to bed. And then whatever happens in the dark...well, I'll just say I was sleepwalking then."

"I can't be faulted for sleepwalking, can I?"
du_vallon: (wall press)

Isaac lets out a soft breath, but manages to stop himself from moaning -- only just barely. "They've got something like it," he agrees, his voice strung and a touch higher than usual, even as he pulls himself away from the touch. "And I'm very, very tired, Monsieur." He gives Rene a pointed look as he begins to wander backwards.

"You should put some tea on, if you plan to stay awake."
du_vallon: (warm smile)

God, he's married the most insanely beautiful man. Porthos can't help but take a moment to observe that fact as he drifts to the bedroom, leaning in the door. "Just so you know," he says, hoping to be helpful. "It usually only takes me a few minutes to fall asleep. Enjoy your tequila, Rene," he murmurs, licking his lips.
du_vallon: (watch your eyes)

Porthos debates what he should do here. In the end, he settles for dragging out the bag he'd brought in earlier, digging out a pair of flannel pajama pants that are comfortable in a soft, soft way and a white t-shirt that hides most of the bruises (there's a few on his arms it doesn't hide). It takes him some time, but he changes into the crisp, clean-smelling clothes.

Porthos sneaks out in the middle, just to watch Aramis' shadow in the sunset, thinking again how lucky he is, but he's quiet as he sneaks back to the bed and turns out all the lights save the candle he burns on the nearby desk.

"I have no idea what you mean, I'm absolutely sleeping," he deadpans, completely evenly as he curls up with the pillow at his back and one he's wrapped around, barely opening his eyes as he turns half-lidded eyes to Rene and observes the way he looks and moves. "May have been me having a fright. I'm a very stubbornly lonely sleeper."
du_vallon: (sleeping)

"I'd feel much safer if you were closer," Isaac works out the words, muffled by his pillow, though his eyes are firmly on Rene's hand and where it drifts. "If you'd like, I've laid out a nice set of sleeping clothes on the bed," he says, and there are pointedly no clothes at all, which is the best hint he can give.
