WHO Shannon Vaughn ([personal profile] privatematter), Eli Delacroix ([personal profile] aspectional).
WHAT Eli is an idiot; Shannon is curious. How exactly does D/s go down when you're not to the Having Sex stage in the relationship yet?
WHEN Late 1990. Seven months after Jumpscapades.
WHERE Shannon's place.

Shannon was anxious. Not in a bad way, but the anticipatory way that everyone got when something new and exciting was going up and there was no way it could go badly, but predicting the end outcome was almost impossible. It was a great feeling, but one that left Shannon feeling like a teen heading out to prom instead of a grown man getting ready to have fun with his boyfriend and potentially make some hilariously heartfelt gestures to express his trust in Eli. That was probably something he didn't do enough in general, actually.

Breakfast had been something simple. Pancakes, fresh cut fruit and sausage. Eli had come over pretty early to get ready, talking over the generalities of what they were going to do while the specifics were to wait for after they were done. Well, now they were done and sitting on the couch, and Shannon's leg was jiggling even under the hand he had placed on his knee to keep himself still. Lacey had wandered off after breakfast, stomach filled with her own food and presumably was napping on the foot of the bed in Shannon's room. Probably for the better, really.

"So," he said, ignoring the obvious tell he was giving off. If Eli took it for misapprehension, then Shannon was going to definitely lean over and smack him. "Where do we start?"

Even without the hand on his cheek, Eli was still focused on Shannon, eyes wide and seeming to be unable to see anything else but him. The hand was grounding though, just like all physical contact seemed to be with him. It was easier for him to feel a person's electrical field that way and make contact with it and with Shannon right there, an electrical field he knew so intimately now that he could sense it from anywhere in the world, he was all he could focus on for the moment, even with his mind shattered into pieces like it was.

"Birds don't usually sound like you and they usually sing to claim territory or to court mates. This is yours so you don't need too claim it so..." He trailed off for a moment as his mind took its sweet time catching up to what he was saying and when he finally did, it was quite obvious. "You're not courting me again, are you?"

Before he could say much else, the singing and the massage thoroughly distracted him from that train of thought and Eli wiggled himself closer to Shannon in response. It felt nice and along with the scent, it was definitely starting to lead him into relaxing, his eyes starting to close a bit. "That's nice. Keep doing that?"
