so instead, he observes shaun gilmore through the night. watching him mingle, watching him laugh and smile and be his usual charismatic self. it's nice to see him happy, vax thinks. it's nice to see him so unsullied by heartbreak that vax'ildan brings. of course, it's that very charisma that drew vax to him in the first place, that put them in such a complicated situation.
maybe he's just drunk enough to make a change.
so he gets to his feet, silently slipping between the partygoers to come up behind shaun.
"you busy?"
no subject
He even offers him an arm if he wants to wander somewhere more quiet than this party. It's certainly more Shaun's speed that Vax's.
"You have made very interesting friends," he says leaning down slightly so that it's easier to hear him over the noise of the celebration. "I rather like them. They somewhat remind me of Vox Machina's early days but rougher around the edges."
A little time and polish he could see this group being quite the legend. He's very good at spotting potential, after all.
no subject
sure, maybe parties aren't vax'ildan's speed at all. and now that he's here with shaun, in his arms, he wonders why he's even bothered to make himself present with a wizard he knows doesn't like him right now. he could have, instead, just taken shaun back up to the room they're currently sharing. he could be happy there, fall asleep in his arms and wake up happy.
so fuck it. vax grins a little, leaning up as shaun leans down so he can hear what's being whispered. "they are wonderful, aren't they? they're all so unique, and they remind me of my sister and percy and... everyone."
no subject
He leads them out of the party's noise into the relative peace of the garden. The best memory they share must be their date at the botanical gardens. Shaun feels wonderfully nostalgic as they walk.
"They're also very protective of you. I was interrogated by a slightly intimidating woman earlier, Beau." Shaun was more amused by the encounter than anything. "I don't think she expected me to be... well, me."
no subject
"yeah, i..." that's... that's news to him, certainly. "i'm not sure why they would be." a thin hand rests on shaun's chest for a moment, pushing past his robe to filter fingers through his chest hair, to just, ah, enjoy that.
"... sorry. old habits. uh-- do you want to--" he drops his voice, enjoying the gentle buzz from the wine. fingers stay under shaun's robe, tightening a little as he asks his next question. "do you want to go? we can go back to my room."
no subject
He stops walking and turns to face Vax fully. Shaun searches out his expression as he lays his hand over Vax's against his chest. He appears slightly tipsy, flushed, and probably not thinking as straight as he should.
Shaun draws his hand up and kisses his wrist. "Yes, let's go back to your room."
Where he will tuck Vax in bed and not let him make a choice he would regret in the morning.
no subject
"okay," he says, his eyes a little blown already. he takes shaun's hand, and expertly leads him through the party, dodging and weaving between people until they ascend his stairs, and vax shuts the door behind him.
"c-can i lay with you?"
no subject
"Let's get more comfortable first, darling." He steers Vax by the shoulders to the bed and gently pushes him to sit down. "These clothes suit you. I rather like the look of them."
They're not what he's used to but they look good. He kneels down deal with Vax's shoes first.
no subject
so vax falls back onto the bed, closes his eyes and sets his jaw while shaun works. when his shoes come loose and slide off, vax has to relieve the pressure a little bit, so he unzips his jeans, moaning quietly at the relief that floods him. he wants to touch himself, to touch shaun, but he's trying to be. patient.
"come back up here, shaun," he says quietly, "i want to be close to you."
no subject
"Mm, you are demanding as always," he teases as he gets up. Shaun stands over him for a moment with his hands on his hips. What a vision. Still the most beautiful man Shaun has ever known.
He leans forward and kisses Vax's forehead. "How much did you drink tonight, my little bird?"
Maybe he shouldn't ask. He might allow himself too much if Vax hadn't drunk that much. How much temptation was one man supposed to endure?
no subject
"enough," he says, intentionally vague, though the flush in his cheeks and his eagerness that doesn't usually come out is probably more than enough to tell shaun that he's teetering on the edge between tipsy and drunk. it's one of his squares, too, so it's perfect, right? he can finally get what he's always wanted from shaun, and it's exciting.
"please. help me out of my clothes."
no subject
He wants it to be a celebration of how much they love each other.
Gods, he's such a foolish romantic. Maybe that's why he's never gotten Vax as he truly wants him.
"Yes, yes, I'm working on it." He ignores those jeans and Vax's obvious erection for now and deals with his shirt first. "Lift your arms for me, there you go."
no subject
vax kisses shaun deeply, a little hungry, a little needy. his tongue presses through his lips before long, and vax's hands cling to shaun's shoulders. when he feels a little more stable, a little less dizzy, his hands move down to the neckline of the robe, fingers slipping through the hair on his body to push the shoulders of his robe away.
"shaun-- please, i want you--"
no subject
"I can't let you tempt me further," he says, searching Vax's expression, willing him to understand that Shaun loved him still. "You're drunk, darling. Do you really want our first time together to be clouded with alcohol?"
And whatever made Vax sad tonight.
"I can be a very selfish man, Vax'ildan. When we make love for the first time I want you, just you. No alcohol to make it easier for you or me." He sighs softly and rests his forehead against Vax's. "But let me hold you tonight. Let us curl together and sleep."
Maybe in the morning they could try this again. Though Shaun was skeptical. He thinks Vax might once again flee from him. He might run now feeling rejected.
no subject
it would be easy to leave, he could slip out of anyone's grasp. it would be easy to get upset, to claim that shaun would rather sleep with anyone but vax, to push him away for the night. but the part of vax that's driven by lust and his desperate want for shaun doesn't want to sleep alone tonight, even if he can't be intimate with him, will take what he can get.
so he sighs, dropping back to sit on the bed, and he slides a hand down shaun's shoulder, arm, fingertips. he plays with his hand, doesn't say anything else for a moment. this isn't what he wanted, but... isn't that how it goes, with shaun?
"so you'll stay?"
no subject
He can see the disappointment and for a brief moment that desire to run but Vax stays. Shaun hopes that through his own feelings Vax can see the love and desire he feels for him. If there was no alcohol he would absolutely take him to bed tonight and make love with him until dawn.
But... that haze of alcohol... Shaun couldn’t.
“You know my favorite place to be is by your side.” A walk in the gardens or sitting in the same room, whatever it was Shaun felt warm and at peace with Vax near by.
He shrugged out of the top part of his robe. “Do you still want my help undressing?” He wound understand if Vax said no now.
no subject
"i..." he wants his help, of course, and his wine-addled brain seems to flush away any negatives in the situation. so vax nods, enthusiastically, leaning back on his elbows once again.
"yeah, please. i want to be close to you."
no subject
He gently stroked his hands down his sides before he pull on the tight fitting pants. They fit like a second skin. "These are different clothes than home. I suppose I'll have to find something to suit my fashion."
It takes a great deal of control not to stroke his hands along Vax's thighs as he undresses him. Shaun is very proud of himself for getting those tight pants off without taking advantage. He sighs softly as he folds Vax's clothes.
no subject
"don't look too close, alright? just get in bed with me." and vax moves up the bed, pulling the sheets back, making space for shaun like he always has.
"can i try again in the morning?" he asks quietly once shaun is close again, keeping his eyes closed. laying down with them open makes the room start to spin.
no subject
He slides into bed and presses gently against Vax's slide. "Darling, you would make me the happiest man alive if you did try again in the morning."
Sober. Fully aware of the choice he was making. That's what Shaun wanted more than anything. He puts an arm around Vax to hold him close. For both their sakes he ignored his own erection pressing against Vax's thigh.
"Get some sleep, Vax'ildan. I'll be right here." He kisses his shoulder and then his cheek. Hoping to impart some of his love and affection.
