to Berlin with love.

 From here

Jay opens the door into a quiet back alley that could belong to any city - the lingering scent of garbage and the miss-matched colours where graffiti has been washed off or painted over. In the mid-afternoon chill of early spring, he takes Emcee's hand and leads him out into the street, pocketing the key. The sunlight is thin but warm and picks out the green swell of buds in the branches. The tree lined avenue is quiet this time of day. Not lacking in people but without rush, a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Comments

"Sounds as if you'd fit in perfectly here." Jay grins, just a little dangerously.

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee then does turn to look at Jay, and he chuckles, nudging him with his foot.

"What a coincidence that this club is so conveniently close to the penthouse."

[runningred]

Jay's expression is a mask of utter innocence.

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee smirks and smacks his shoulder.

"You do innocent just about as well as I do, which is to say, not very. I must say, though, it was clever of you to find a place I could pop in whenever I like while I'm here."

It would almost be like home.

He turns his attention back to the dancers, following their skilled moves with fascination and delight.

[runningred]

"Alice found you, if you recall. I had nothing to do with it." Jay continues to feign innocence.

[i_am_your_host]

"Please," he says with a roll of his eyes. "You knew I would enjoy this place, so you found somewhere for me to live like practically on top of it."

[runningred]

"Literally, not practically." He hides a grin behind his glass.

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee frowns, rolls his eyes up in thought, and appears a bit bewildered, as he tries to remember how they got here. There's been a lot of liquor since then, but he does recall that it was a very short walk. Probably in a circle.

"You're impossible," he finally says. "I'm starting to think that there have been absolutely no coincidences since I got here."

The dance number ends and the audience bursts into applause. Emcee gets to his feet and goes up to the balcony railing to add his own cheers to the noise.

[runningred]

Jay laughs and joins him on the balcony, clapping and whistling.

He glances to Emcee and shrugs, "I don't know what you're talking about."

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee just gives him a look.

"Stop that," he half-laughs. "The more you say things like that, the more I wonder what else is going to happen tonight, and I don't want to do that. I just want things to be. To happen however they want."

He grabs his hand and starts dragging him downstairs. "Now, come on, you have to dance with me."

[runningred]

Jay stops him with a soft but firm hand on his sleeve, looking into Emcee's eyes. "Nothing planned, love. I swear. Just us and an evening out." He holds Emcee's gaze, his eyes honest.

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee stops and turns and looks at Jay. After a moment, he then steps up to him and pulls him in for a quick but warm kiss on the lips.

"I believe you," he says with a small smile and a nod.

And then he grabs his hand again and continues dragging him downstairs.

[runningred]

Jay follows him, grinning as the crowd makes space for them on the dance floor. Jay pulls Emcee close, enclosing him in the protective circle of his arms. He wants Emcee to know there's nothing more important than him in this moment.

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee rests his hands on Jay's shoulders as he moves to the beat, grinding and pressing up against Jay's body.

He can feel Jay focus on him, giving him all his attention. As if he were the only person in the room.

[runningred]

He's still hard from before and there's no way to hide it with Emcee grinding against him like that. He leans in and kisses Emcee's throat, moaning breathlessly.

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee laughs and tips his head back as Jay kisses him. Turning around within the circle of his arms, he presses his back to him, reaching up with one hand to curl his fingers in Jay's hair.

[runningred]

"You are making this very, very hard to bear." He growls into Emcee's neck as they dance.

[i_am_your_host]

He laughs again, turning his head so Jay can hear.

"Shall I dance with someone else then?" he teases.

[runningred]

Jay growls again and wraps possessive arms around Emcee's waist and chest, planting a hard, biting kiss over his pulse point.

[i_am_your_host]

Oh, that's hot.

The kiss-bite is going to leave a mark, but it's not like he minds.

He leans back against Jay, grasping his hips and rubbing up against him.

[runningred]

Jay growls against Emcee's skin, leaving a dark red mark on the side of Emcee's neck. He holds him possessively close, making it very clear what effect Emcee's dance is having on him.

[i_am_your_host]

There's no one else Emcee is going to dance with tonight. Or at least for this set of music. Either way, he is very much Jay's right now, and he doesn't want him to let go.

All the while the crowd surges around them on the dance floor, a mass of sweaty limbs and bodies moving to the pulsating beat under flashing colored lights.

[runningred]

Jay's answering possessiveness makes it clear he won't be anywhere else, or with anyone else.

He pants in Emcee's ear, aching with need as he presses against Emcee. "I'm need to fuck you soon. Hard." He purrs, his voice dark and hot.

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee turns around and grinds on Jay's thigh, as he reaches up and roughly sweeps both hands through his hair. He pulls him in for a quick but forceful kiss.

"Are you demanding or begging?" he growls into his ear.

[runningred]

"Neither." He wraps his arm around Emcee's waist, carrying him bodily towards the bathroom.

A dark growl parts the crowd and he shoves Emcee through the door, locking it behind himself.
