Aaron

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot had weird feelings about being back in Fillory. It wasn’t trivial to go back and forth, and Margo wasn’t even sure how to make it happen again. Eliot has considered, briefly, insisting that Q go back in his place. But no, he couldn’t do that to Aaron. And this was his responsibility. Fen was so relieved to see him, too. They’d had sex the next night; she was ovulating.

He missed Aaron immediately though, and a few days later he went to King’s to spend time with him. Also like… apparently the king had been murdered? Things seemed remarkably peaceful under those circumstances.

Eliot's expression softened. "I think Eliza is going to be just fine," he said. "Maybe we should introduce her to Fen. They can commiserate."

[quitollis]

Aaron nodded. "Yes, that might be good. Once I've told Eliza about...being gay."

"He's not just the 'man I used to pay to fuck'. We've become friends."

[eliot_thespectacular]

"Well he must be very fond of you," Eliot said. He wasn't jealous really, but it was a bit strange.

[quitollis]

"I think so, as am I of him," Aaron said. "I er... used to be quite taken with him." He couldn't quite say 'in love', though that probably was what he would have called it.

[eliot_thespectacular]

"But you're not still sleeping with him?" Eliot clarified.

[quitollis]

"No, no," Aaron clarified. "Last time I paid him it was to talk, really. He assured me that wasn't needed," he added with a chuckle. "So, we're friends. In fact, I'd like him to meet you. Would that be strange?"

[eliot_thespectacular]

"No... no, I think I'd like to meet him," said Eliot who was terribly curious now.

[quitollis]

Aaron smiled. "I think you'll like him. He's kind and very clever." And absolutely beautiful, but Aaron didn't think he should to add that at this moment. "And he's the only one I've been able to talk to about you and Earth."

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot arched an eyebrow. "Did you tell him everything?" Though he could imagine that someone in his occupation was probably not easily scandalized.

[quitollis]

"Well, not every detail. Wouldn't know how to casually bring up I had you in leather on a leach..." He grinned.

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot smirked. “Do you think that would have surprised him?”

[quitollis]

"Well, it's not something I've ever done with him," Aaron replied and grinned intk his glass. "Shock no, but it would surprise him, yes."

[eliot_thespectacular]

"Oh really?" Eliot leaned a little closer to him, amused. "So there's something about me that inspires you to get all dominant, but you didn't feel that way with some pretty young twink?"

[quitollis]

The truth was that he had used his time with Alcuin to pretend they were a home, to have someone to come back to after battle who cared for him and loved him... Dominance and wicked play did not enter into the equation at the time.

But he didn't say that. "You inspire me," he teased back instead.

[eliot_thespectacular]

"Very good," said Eliot, and leaned back in his seat again, and took a drink. "So when do I get to meet him?"

[quitollis]

"I didn't set anything up yet, jusg in case you didn’t want to meet him," Aaron replied. "But I will. He was curious to meet you."

[eliot_thespectacular]

"Are you certain he doesn't want to steal you away?" teased Eliot.

And then, smirking a little, leaned in again and said, "That's your cue to tell me how much hotter I am than him."

[quitollis]

"Incomparable," Aaron assured him as he leaned in too. "I can barely think when you're in my head. All I can see is your body and how perfect it looks, naked draped over the sheets."

[eliot_thespectacular]

"Good," said Eliot with a slight purr. "Very good."

He leaned back again. "So yes, arrange for us to meet."

[quitollis]

Aaron nodded. "Maybe he could come here?" He suggested.

[eliot_thespectacular]

"Sure thing," said Eliot, and then almost made a joke about Aaron angling for a threesome, though wasn't sure how that would be received.

[quitollis]

Aaron was more concerned about being seen, so such thoughts didn't cross his mind. "Can you stay until tomorrow?" It was never clear how much time they had together.

[eliot_thespectacular]

"... sure," said Eliot. Fen wasn't still ovulating, after all. And nothing was on fire in Fillory. "I mean, I'd like to."

[quitollis]

"Good," Aaron said, quite happy. "Then we have the whole day. What would you like to do?"

[eliot_thespectacular]

"You mean beside fucking?" Eliot said. "Or is that an acceptable answer?"
