Blood from Stone [AU]

[Carver Amell]

"Well, sure, here, but you're from Raplin's and you pal around with literal nymph dryads, maybe the rules are different."

[Jassinth]

Jass just grins. "Those are two different things," he informs the other man. "And no, Carver, I will state simple and direct, that I consider you my best friend and I would very much like to spend the rest of my time here fucking your brains out."

[Carver Amell]

He only redden deeper. "Well -- well why are we standing out here then?" he asks, still unable to look at Jass. 

[Jassinth]

Jass's smile widens even more, then he leans down to whisper something to Arthur before tossing him up so the eagle can take a roost in the trees nearby. "Should we help finish your... parental figure's test thing or..?"

[Carver Amell]

"Nah. My sister's probably not up for it. We'll figure it out later."

[Jassinth]

"You make our excuses and get some things for yourself, then I shall get us a room at the Eagle, on Silverstream in Lily?" He leers a little. "It might be best to have more space between us and your sisters than thin walls."

[Carver Amell]

Now he flashes a grin. "Why? The rooms at the main house are all soundproofed. Varric's idea. Teenagers, you know."

[Jassinth]

"Room service?" Jass counters, not sounding contrary, just... feeling out the options.

[Carver Amell]

"Let's start here, and then if we get bored, we'll go to the Shiny Cat and rent a room. Room service and entertainment."

[Jassinth]

Jass's eyebrows pop up and he gives Carver a speculative look. "You'd be interested in... multiple partners?"

[Carver Amell]

"I... I mean, it's worth a try once, right?" he says, shrugging his shoulder. "I've never done it but they're good, at the Cat, you know?"

[Jassinth]

I wonder if he realizes that... no, probably not. He's delightfully oblivious. Annoyingly oblivious as well, but such is life. And I still don't know the full story of what occured between him and Merrill. "It is not an everytime thing, no. It can be complicated and requires a bit of... planning and flexibility but often worth the effort."

[Carver Amell]

Carver nods. "So we'll... we'll see, then." 

[Jassinth]

"So we shall." Eyes locked directly on Carver's face, Jassinth moves in slowly. "But first..." His voice then is low, not soft but throaty and almost sleepy. And yet the intense look in his eyes belies any idea that he's tired. Thirsty maybe but certainly not tired. And he's not slowing down either, still approaching the human.

[Carver Amell]

Carver's eyes widen, briefly, and he swallows. Then, as Jass approaches, he closes his eyes, reaching for Jass's waist, and presses his lips to the other boy's. 

It's been a long time since Carver Hawke Tethras was kissed. That's the thing about whores; they don't care about you. They tend not to hold you, or kiss you, unless you pay extra. It's been years since Carver was kissed.

Right now he's a little more concerned with kissing Jass than with enjoying the moment.
