... flatterer.

[ Aspen's face is still touched with pink, averting his eyes, but... there's a shy smile to his face, too. ]

[worldinnovator]

It's not flattery if I speak the truth.

[ He sees that smile and his own lips echo it again as he bends his head to tease a warm breath against the wetness still lingering on Aspen's skin. Before letting his tongue dart out once more and swirl slowly about the swollen tip of him. ]

[terraria]

[ He moans aloud, tilting his head back with a relieved sigh, his length already starting to ache with how hard he feels. ]

Sin...

[ Aspen loves being denied, that was for sure, but the tease was too much already. He wanted to just buck into that wet heat, and his moan trailed off into a light whine. ]

[worldinnovator]

Hmm? What is it, love?

[ His lips are still curved into a smile against Aspen's length as he continues to tease him to full hardness with lips and tongue. ]

[terraria]

You know damn well what, Sinbad.

[ Aspen's voice wavers, wriggling his hips to try and encourage Sin to take his length into his mouth. Every flick of his tongue, there's a resounding ache in his hips and his breath stutters. ]

[advisors]

( Ja'far sighs as he's pulled against him, part of him relieved for the contact - part of him realizing he might've been afraid of getting rebuffed if he initiated anything himself. But, Sinbad seems quite the same, and... oh? )

You... as well? ( He blinks, surprised. He hadn't even considered the idea, let alone had thought that Sinbad had developed feelings for Aspen as well. It's almost funny. )

Well, it's... We're not exactly exclusive, and I wouldn't expect that, especially in this place. But, love is... it's a lot more than just sleeping with someone. I wasn't sure if that was... too much. Something I shouldn't breach. ( He fidgets for a moment, and then sighs again, less relieved this time, but some of his unease gone with the revelation. ) I just feel a bit silly, I suppose. I blurted it out to Aspen, half to make him feel grounded, and it was kind of a mess. ( He laughs, still nervous after that. ) I didn't even realize it until that moment.

[worldinnovator]

[ There's a soft laugh as he parts his lips, shallowly sucking against just the tip of Aspen's length as he continues to tease him. ]

Maybe... [ A playful lick against his slit, ] I want to hear you say it.

[worldinnovator]

[ Sinbad gives a soft laugh at this confession and then reaches out to run his fingers through Ja'far's hair, the touch soothing as he smiles and rests his chin atop his lover's head. ]

Did you? And what was Aspen's reaction to that?

[advisors]

( That touch was soothing, something real against the apparently foolish worries in his head. Sinbad wasn't refusing him; if anything, the other man seemed happy about it. It was more calming than he knew.

Ja'far snorts. ) Rightfully confused. I certainly shocked him. But he... didn't seem against it. I think... ( He frowns. It seemed almost too personal to fully reveal what Aspen said, how much the other man seemed confused by the idea of love, of someone loving him. ) I don't know what I think. But, regardless, I... I love him. It's different from loving you, but I love him.

[terraria]

[ He keens, and when he catches his breath, he seems somewhat dazed. Even as he leaks, Aspen has an tight control over his body. ]

... please, don't tease me like this. [ His voice is tender and needy, looking up to Sinbad with pleading eyes. ] I want you...

New Year's Day

[mastermagician]

[ At Sinbad's doorstep in the morning is a small box in glossy gold gift packaging:

A half-dozen cellophane-wrapped cookies, very obviously homemade; a line of gold-foil-wrapped luxury condoms with a post-it on top reading 'so you never get caught again like we did the first time! ;)'; and a plain, thin golden ring set with a gem the same vivid color as Sinbad's hair. On the inside of the metal is a carefully fine inscription, 'to just ends'. It's clearly magical, and instinct would suggest that the gem may need to be magical to activate the spell.

With them is a small letter in a card, ]

Sinbad,

Even after all of this time, I still get butterflies when you smile at me. It's strange to think that we're still here at the turning of a year...

You have a way of bringing out the best in people. Inspiring not just loyalty, but... confidence. Hope. Having been in a position before to have lost almost all hope, I can't tell you how important you are, for that reason. There aren't many people in this or any world who... can make others feel so safe to be vulnerable. So safe to be weak, or fragile around.

I've never really believed in kings or lords or rulers of any kind, until I met you. I love you; but as much as that, I believe in you. And I hope the year ahead brings all the best to you, and rewards all you give to others in the ways you love best.

Faithfully your lover and vassal,

Asra

Sin, when you're free, I need to talk to you about something.

( Is it about David? It's about David. )

oh boy

[worldinnovator]

[ David who? ]

I'm free, I'm just sorting things in the house.

the ohest of boys. boy howdys.

[advisors]

Alright, I'll be over shortly. ( When is Ja'far not at the office doing work tho. Jesus, Ja'far.

He does come home rather quickly though, thankful that of course Sinbad picked someplace convenient for them to live, on top of everything else. Once he comes into the house, he seeks out Sinbad, looking a little grave. )

I think we should sit down for this.

[worldinnovator]

And you have me, love. But I want to see you enjoy yourself fully. I want to see you fully pleasured and lost to it. I want to watch you come completely unraveled and undone beneath me.

[worldinnovator]

Aspen is still figuring out his feelings, I think. This is as new and surprising to him as it is to you, and even to me, I think. But that's not a bad thing, Ja'far. And believe it or not, is it so hard a stretch to learn you can love more than one person?

[ His fingers curl at the nape of his lover's neck as he lets him rest against his chest, still wrapped warmly around him. ]

[worldinnovator]

[ Sinbad arches an eyebrow at Ja'far's serious manner, looking a little surprised by his mood. A pause, before he shifts to take a seat at one of the bar stools there in the kitchen, hooking one heel against the rings below it. ]

Well, this sounds serious. I take it this is not something as pleasant as discovering you have feelings for someone else, is it?

[advisors]

( Ja'far huffs, leaning into that touch, letting himself be enveloped by Sinbad as he relaxes. )

It's surprising, at least. It's strange enough that I can be open in loving you here, without worrying about your reputation. ( Wait. Fuck, he said that out loud. Maybe he'll just keep his face planted against Sinbad. Much easier. )

[worldinnovator]

[ Sinbad stills for a long moment, taking that information in and the meaning behind it, before slowly pulling back and sliding his fingers beneath Ja'far's chin to tip his head back towards him, studying his expression with a thoughtful look. ]

My reputation?

[advisors]

( Ja'far takes a seat as well, hands folding into his lap as he sighs, shaking his head. ) I wish. No, I should've brought this up earlier, but other things became far more important.

( He shifts, trying to think of exactly how to word this. ) We've never really talked about what happened to you after the first Sindria fell. You, rightfully, didn't want to. But... ( He sighs again, staring off at nothing in particular before refocusing on Sinbad. ) I don't want to pry into it, but something Judar has apparently experienced has made me question things. Something that happens in our futures that is connected to that.

[advisors]

( Gods, why did he say that out loud. )

You're a king, Sin. You need to be open for marriage, be it for a political tie or even love. Having some... affair with your parliamentary official would've just made everything a mess.

[worldinnovator]

[ Sinbad stills at the mention of Sindria's fall, tension singing in him for a long moment, but then he just looks perplexed before giving a quiet scoff. ]

You've been talking to Judar? Are you certain anything he tells you about what's to come can be trusted? The magi is more than a little biased after all this time, you realize.

[advisors]

I certainly didn't want to believe it, and I question the validity of at least some of it. But, he showed me things, Sin. Things from Aladdin - from Aladdin's past and... world. ( He shakes his head. ) I'm still confused about it, but what Aladdin showed him seems to be true. All I know about speaking through the rukh doesn't seem to give much leeway for lies.

[worldinnovator]

[ That still tension lingers in Sinbad's body as he cups Ja'far's cheeks in his hands, cupping his face as he searches his expression. ]

Ja'far. How long have you been thinking this?

[worldinnovator]

Are you forgetting he's a magi? Beloved of the rukh? Even if it is dark and twisted rukh? If anyone could figure out how to twist and distort the truth even through the rukh, it would be him.
