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?"

"It's a useful description and a rather common one as well," Eli replied with amusement. To him, it was the best way to describe Shannon despite the fact that it fit with his Aspect. He doubted it would change even if he wasn't the fire Aspect since it appeared that much a part of him than the Aspect seemed to be. "Would you prefer if I said you had a spark in you?"

Even before he had met Shannon and fallen in love with him, Eli hadn't been one to be in a relationship and while his emotions tended to flit between whatever suited his fancy, his true feelings were far more stable and tended to be harder to change. "Not really. I didn't see the point before," he said with a light shrug. "I thought you'd like the phoenix. It suits you."
