Eliot

[eliot_thespectacular]

Someone had approached Eliot by the time he got his second drink, having noticed when Eliot’s companion had departed. And Eliot had realized he… wasn’t interested. Which actually kind of annoyed him.

Maybe it was just what he’d suggested to Nyx. That they’d been through a lot and it was stupid that they thought they wanted to go partake in an orgy after.

He should at least finish the drink though. So he fiddled with his phone as he did, and found himself texting Aaron…

what are you up to tonight?

It took a while for the reply to come. Aaron debater whether he should answer. It seemed callous, somehow, eventhough that was probably only in his mind.

I'm on a date He added a smiley to make it sound less callous.

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot looked down at the phone and was annoyed at how it made him feel.

Three little dots… then they were gone… the back again, then…

oh good for you, i hope you have fun

[quitollis]

The reply came much later. Aaron did not check his phone much on the date. And it went really well. His name was Jaume, short for Guillaume. He was very sweet, very handsome and considerably younger than his pictures had suggested. He used a filter, apparently, to avoid creeps. He was Christian, and deeply religious, which caused conflict with his sexuality.

It was a bit uncomfortable at first (what on earth did a long-past-forty-year-old have in common with a boy of twenty-five), but things became increasingly comfortable as the evening progressed.

They ended up in bed together and it was quite good. They woke up together the next morning, and Jaume was cuddled up against him. He really liked that.

Only after he left Jaume, did he check his phone.

it went really well.

The fact that Aaron didn’t respond until the next morning told Eliot exactly how it went.

Eliot scowled at his phone as he finished making coffee. And waited a while to respond.

Glad to hear it. Nyx and I were at a sex club last night, thought you might want to join us.

Well that was a lie. But Eliot was curious how he would react.

[quitollis]

It sounded spiteful, but maybe ge was just still drunk.

not for me, I'm afraid

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot wasn’t sure what reaction he’d actually been expecting.

What a shame.

He hesitated, and even sent another text.

I don’t have to be at work until 8pm. If you’re not too exhausted after your good date you should come over here and fuck me

[quitollis]

not sated after the sex club?

He wasn't sure why he sent it. But he didn't much feel like being a sloppy second. Or third. Or whatever the hell people did at sex clubs.

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot scowled again.

Nyx left early and I got bored so I went home and jerked off in the shower.

But whatever.

[quitollis]

I can come over if you want me to. Not if it's 'whatever'.

[eliot_thespectacular]

I’ll leave the door unlocked.

Eliot could already feel that he was being stupid even if he didn’t completely understand the shape of it. Why was he like this?

[quitollis]

In the end, Aaron decided to go. He was a bit worried, actually, at the tone in Eliot's texts.

He opened the door after knocking. "Hello?"

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot was just dressed in a robe, cinched loosely and revealing most of his chest. He was holding a wine glass loosely by the stem.

“Hi lover,” he purred.

[quitollis]

He looked great. He looked hot.

"What are you doing, Eliot?" Aaron asked, genuinely.

[eliot_thespectacular]

“Waiting for you,” said Eliot, “what did you think?” He drained the small amount of wine left in the glass and set it down on the counter.

[quitollis]

"Are you drunk?" Aaron asked, genuinely and a bit worried.

[eliot_thespectacular]

“Barely,” said Eliot with a roll of his eyes. “Come on then.”

He turned his back to him and dropped the robe, sauntering naked back to the bedroom.

[quitollis]

Aaron sighed and followed. "So, this is what we are now? No 'how are you', nothing. Just sex?"

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot fell back onto the bed, arranging himself in a pleasing way. “What do you want to talk about?”

[quitollis]

"I don't know. How have you been? How was your evening?" Aaron replied.

[eliot_thespectacular]

“Well Nyx and I made an unexpected detour to his homeland where I murdered a snake. Then we went to a sex club with the intention of, I don’t know, sex, but instead he told me about hooking up with you and then left. And you were out with Chad or whoever so I came home and jerked off… didn’t we already cover this? Or I guess not the snake part.”

[quitollis]

"I didn't know you knew Nyx," Aaron said only.

"... I don't think we should do this," he concluded.

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot looked surprised. “What? Why?” He got to his feet and approached him. “You’re lying. You want me.”

[quitollis]

"Yes, I want you," Aaron admitted. "But... not like this. Not if it's just sex because you couldn't get it yesterday."

[eliot_thespectacular]

“I could have gotten it yesterday if I wanted it,” Eliot snapped. “I could have gotten it from anyone in that club. And instead I texted you, like a fucking idiot.”

[quitollis]

"Sorry I ruined your plans," Aaron deadpanned.
