krystalkatzficz | The Storm and the Scorpion part sixty-eight

Jun prepared the bed in a strange kind of fort, the same as the ones that he used to make with his brother when they were children before their world came crashing down around them. The sheets were all tussled up in a tent like manner and the pillows had been scattered over the bed. It was something that he had always, at least in the privacy of his mind, wanted to do with somebody that he loved and he showed no embarrassment when the server came to deliver their ice cream and take away their finished meal. The television was on the movie channels and thankfully they all came with a dubbed option doubting that Nino would have the ability to read subtitles. He was just changing the lighting to the mood setting when the bathroom door clicked open and Nino came out looking nervous in his pyjamas and a towel wrapped around his hair.

“Ready?” He asked smiling at the cute, nervous, face who was staring at his fort with a strange almost unreadable expression on his face. “Um…It was something that I’ve always wanted to do…”

“It looks like a tent…” Nino hummed coming so close that Jun could smell the scent coming off of his skin and he couldn’t resist the urge to wrap his arms around him and squeeze him tightly as he asked;

“You never made a sheet fort when you were a kid?”

“…No…”

“Too bad, I made them all the time with my brother…Before…It was something that I always wanted to do with my lover…So…I thought we might as well…” Jun chuckled kissing his cheek and then helping him onto the bed in the sheet tent/fort. It was cosy inside with barely any room for them to separate. Nino was still looking confused but his expression soon cleared into bewitched delight when Jun rolled the table of ice cream and various toppings in front of them. The tray looked rather like an ice cream shop with tubs of toppings, from a 100’s and 1000’s to chopped cherries, and a multitude of sauces, including butterscotch and warmed fudge. “I never had this when I was a kid though…Which first?”

“Um…I don’t mind…” Nino hummed and Jun very nearly sighed supposing that though he was gaining confidence in himself and in their relationship but he knew that he couldn’t expect miracles. Making him a mixed ice cream topped with almost everything they snuggled together watching the Harry Potter movies.

Nino was captivated by the story of the boy wizard who became something magical and Jun wondered if he saw something of himself in him. Okay he wasn’t as great as finding out that he could do magic with a wave of a wand but he hoped that he was something close. Nino it seemed agreed with him as he rested his head against his shoulder with a happy smile on his face murmuring something to the same effect.

“We should switch it off now…” Jun hummed in Nino’s ear when the credits started to roll for the third movie and Nino gave a tired sound whine of complaint but it was so feeble that Jun knew he was making the right choice. Taking the remote he switched off the television and plunged the room into silence. Nino’s head flopped completely against him and he let out a breath whispering something incomprehensible. Jun chuckled to himself and settled him down into the bed kissing the ice cream flavoured lips. “Thank-you…”
