Gav and cubefall. What can go wrong?

[runningred]

Jay bounces up the stairs to his room. Literally bounces. Like a bad anime jiggle counter. "Seriously?"

Once in his room with the door closed behind Gav, he starts ditching clothing. Jay has never been particularly self-conscious about his body and his brain hasn't quite caught up with the fact he should be now. "Bras are so much easier to take of someone else than yourself." He growls, throwing the crop top away and presenting his still heavily scarred back to Gav. "Undo me, will you?"

"I haven't really..." He looks abashed. "I mean... what...?"

[runningred]

Jay chuckles and pushes Gav's hair back over his ear. "Gav, it's okay. We're both making the most of this opportunity. And if there's anything you've ever wondered about or wanted to experiment with, I'm open to it." Within reason but she suspects Gav's tastes won't run outside those limits. Or anywhere near them, in fact.

[street_sparrow]

"I don't know where to start", he admits.

[runningred]

Jay kisses him again and stretches like a cat. "How about we start with a nap and after that, we can talk some more?" Giving Gav time to think.

[street_sparrow]

"All right", he says with a smile, and stretches out in turn, though Jay is still taller. He tries to think of all the talk he overheard in the inn and the Parisian streets, of the kind of things people do.

[runningred]

Jay, every tactile after sex, lets her fingers trail over Gav's skin, drawing patterns as they both relax.

[street_sparrow]

He enjoys that, humming quietly in pleasure as he drowses.

[runningred]

Jay finally drifts to sleep, hand still resting on Gav's arm. She gets cold at one stage, (this body definitely needs more warmth) and snuggles close.

[street_sparrow]

Gavroche has absolutely no problem with snuggling, curling closer to her in his sleep.

[runningred]

Jay doesn't sleep long but when she wakes, she slips off the bed silently and reaches for a wooden training sword and starts working through some slow katas. Clothing optional training.

[street_sparrow]

A little while later, but before she's finished, Gavroche stirs and turns over to watch her.

[runningred]

"Sorry." Jay calls without looking up, aware of his attention. "I wanted to see how this body moved."

[street_sparrow]

"Nothing to be sorry for." His head is still on the pillow, but his attention is sharp. "The balance must be different."

[runningred]

"Very." Jay acknowledges, shifting from one foot to the other before pushing up onto his toes and turning slowly. "Lower and further forward."

[street_sparrow]

"Is it useful?" he asks curiously. "To know that?"

[runningred]

"I don't know yet. May be one day." She flips into a slow somersault to get back to the bed.

[street_sparrow]

He watches that with impressed appreciation.

"I've really got to train with you sometime. Boy or girl."

[runningred]

"You're always welcome." She lands with her feet on the edge of the bed as she flips the last part of the way. "I like sparring with different people. Always something new to learn."

[street_sparrow]

"Mostly what I learned as a kid was how to kick or bite until they let go, then run", he says with a grin. "And in the Underside, nobody touches me. But it's good to learn."

[runningred]

"Kick and run is what I teach most kids as a starting point but there comes a time you need to be able to follow it up with a good right hook." She keeps stretching, even on the bed. Different muscles move differently as she cools down. "Mind you, half of my favourite techniques might not work as well like this."

[street_sparrow]

"I'd say you could adapt them", Gavroche says lazily, "but you've only got a day and a half left to do it in."

[runningred]

"Good thing I'm a fast learner too." She smiles, reaching out to trail her fingers over his side. "How are you feeling this morning?"

[street_sparrow]

He smiles back, turning into the touch.

"Well rested."

[runningred]

"Always a good start." She smirks, leaning up to kiss him.

[street_sparrow]

He leans into the kiss with enthusiasm, and murmurs against her lips, "So what shall we do now?"
