You won't smell like gin. [ He rolls his eyes with fond amusement. There's a little more than just juniper. Anyway, it smells nice to Joe. ] Besides, the only person who will smell you is me.

[ Anyone who got close enough to smell Nicky would face Joe's wrath. ]

Champagne should be savored, love. [ But he brings the bottle as requested leaving it by the side of the rub before he gets in. He slips an arm around Nicky's shoulders. ] If you want to get drunk wait until after dinner when we can be silly.

And here I thought I would find a very nice woodsy cologne I could wear, just a hint to remind you of the old days sleeping in the forests.

[ Nicky grins as he watches Joe join him, the tub so large that he doesn't even need to adjust to make room for him, a wondrous thing indeed. He slides his fingertips over Joe's shoulders and then settles in. ]

I don't actually remember the last time I was so drunk I might fall down. Do you?

There might be something. I haven't fully investigated what they've left us.

[ He takes a sip of champagne and then kisses Nicky while he can still feel the bubbles tingling on his tongue. ]

The last time I remember is celebrating the end of some conflict. I have a very clear picture of being in a big crowd singing something.

[ That's all he can remember though, not the year or the conflict or where they were. ]

[ Nicky gives a happy noise for the kiss and the tickle of bubbles on his tongue when he parts his lips and deepens it to allow for more of a kiss, tongues and all.

He closes one eye to strain and think about it, moving to grasp a scrubbing loofah and sipping his champagne all the while. ]

I just remember waking up in your arms and being carried across a threshold.

We really haven't had fun in awhile, have we?

[ Had it all been work for that long? Joe feels even more grateful for this break than ever. They really need this time. ]

If you'd like to be carried again I can easily make that happen.

[ His tone is more playful than adoring at the moment. He's definitely got something planned. ]

I think you and I just had a lot of fun within the last hour, but if you mean in public, where others can see, then no, I don't think so.

[ He's very glad to hear that playful tone of Joe's voice, his eyes wide as he doesn't bother to hide his delight. ] Well. I mean. If you are sure you are strong enough to support me, then why should I say no?

That was very fun. [ He nuzzles against Nicky's neck as he slides his hand along the inside of his thigh, so smooth under the water. ] We'll take Nile to the best parties around the world then.

[ Nicky is adorable. Joe kisses him for looking so sweet. ] After dinner I'll carry you over the threshold like a proper honeymoon.

That is the only problem when we are in the safehouses. I love our purpose and what we do, but the privacy is not there and I don't usually want to disturb them.

[ Usually. There are exceptions. ]

If there are parties, you can dress me again, the way I am letting you during this honeymoon. [ Of which he's still extremely excited to see what Joe puts him in. ]

Habibi, you are too good to your husband. Will you also throw me on the bed?

There is only so often we can be discrete. [ Joe will not apologize for wanting to make love to his husband all the time. He does wait until they have separate rooms though. ]

I'll look through what you brought with when we're done here and decide what I want to take off you later. [ He nibbles on the shell of Nicky's ear. ]

If I can wait that long. I might ravish you right on the floor. The carpet is very plush.

At least, without gags.

[ Not that it wouldn't be fun to try it with that, but he thinks that will have to wait, and they will work their way around to that. Nicky slides back into Joe's lap, despite all the nice room, drinking back the champagne and setting the flute on the tiles. ]

The carpet is very nice. I think it is better quality than even the nicest villa we have paid for, in the past. Luxury has come a very long way.

But I like the sounds you make when we're in bed.

[ Joe considers his glass of champagne for a moment. He pours a little down Nicky's chest and quickly licks it up. ]

Maybe we should buy a villa. We could have a guest house for Andy and Nile. So we can continue to be as loud as we want.

You have had almost a thousand years to train me into making the sounds you like, of course you enjoy them.

[ Nicky shifts so he's sitting draped sideways over his lap, wrapping his arm around his shoulders so he can lean in, thinking about a lovely villa that they can enjoy. ]

A villa in Malta, where we can have sex as often as we want. You know exactly how to seduce me.

And you haven't trained me just as well?

[ Joe lets him get comfortable then adjusts to support him. He likes it best when they're both comfortable.

He offers Nicky a sip from his champagne. ]

I very much enjoy seducing you. And a villa will give us a lot of space to decorate and live. We can be as domestic as you'd like.

[ Nicky has done more than a little bit of training. In fact, Pavlov had been very keen to hear of Nicky's lessons, though obviously his results are much more fun. He keeps an eye on Joe as he sips the champagne, unblinking and unflinching. ]

You know exactly what to say that I want to hear.

[ And in this case, it's a life of domestic bliss, as temporary as it might be. To think of coming home in loose shirts and find Joe sprawled out, half-naked, sketching and relaxed.

It is perfect. ]

[ He cups Nicky's cheek and turns his head just enough to kiss him softly.

Perhaps it is Andy's mortality but he feels the desire to settle down a bit more sharply than before. They will continue fighting and doing good but some peace is well deserved isn't it? ]

It's what I want too.

To be domestic, to be your husband, to come back with food from the market and see your beautiful smile.

[ That is what he wants. That's all he wants. Nicky parts his lips for the kiss, pressing their foreheads together. ]

We could have neighbours. [ For a little, they will know the Jones', before we had to leave when we became too suspicious. ] You can flirt and wink at me, and they will talk about how lucky I am to have you.

That, yes. After the lab... peace seems more important than ever before.

[ And not just peace for the world but for them. Joe wants to be a little selfish and claim a slice of normal for them even if it only lasts a decade or so. ]

I will absolutely flirt with you. And bring home flowers. The neighbors will be jealous you are so loved.

[ There is still such good to do, but maybe on a smaller scale for a little. Maybe Nicky wants to do favours and be a kind neighbour. He wants to bring in groceries instead of stopping villains.

For a while. Until he gets bored. ]

I will keep every flower alive as long as I can, and spoil you with your favourite recipes until the smells drag all near. And, of course, if we are to have a villa, clothes will be strictly optional.

When we don't have company.

[ They have the hearts of warriors. Eventually they will need to pick up their swords and return to defending the innocent.

Until then, Joe can paint and get fat on Nicky's cooking. Oh, he aches with want for it. ]

I've decided we're going to buy a villa instead of a house. We have the money and I want it. For us. I'll message Copley as soon as we're out of the tub.

When we have no company.

[ It's an easy thing to agree to, especially as he turns to slide into a straddle, pinning his hands on either side of Joe's head, stretching his body out again so he can grind down against Joe's lap in the water. Without flinching, he is staring at him, unwilling to look away. ]

You should make sure there is a nice sunroom. I would like to sunbathe naked, my love.

[ His cock had never gotten soft given how often wet skin slid against wet skin but Joe is very much reminded of it now with Nicky grinding against him.

He puts his champagne flute down before he drops it and wraps his arms around Nicky's waist. ]

Mmm, yes, absolutely. Some place we can both curl up and sunbath like cats. And then where I can fuck you nice and slow in the warmth.

[ Nicky has forgotten about everything else in the room. There is no bathroom or big spacious hotel bedroom. There is only Joe. Joe is the only thing that matters, because he's the only one that ever mattered.

Nicky lets out a soft prayer in Italian under his breath, grabbing Joe's hair at the nape of his neck. ]

You can fuck me nice and slow right here in the water. Start there, so we can dress for dinner.

Mm, since you asked so nice.

[ Joe grabs his hips and guides Nicky until he's lined up with his hole and can sink into the heat. It's a little tight so he goes slow. ]

Our villa needs a tub this big. [ He mouths at Nicky's neck. ] So we can relax just like this. Fuck, you feel good.

[ Nicky bites his lip and groans as Joe slips into him. They may set a record yet, though it will be hard to outdo their frantic rutting in the early days when they had just begun to understand their lust.

His breath is shaky as he rubs his temple against the top of Joe's head, like a cat before he begins to move. ]

I feel good? You are sinfully warm and perfect.

My favorite sin.

[ He sucks a mark into Nicky's neck right over his pulse and it's gone seconds after he stops.

Joe will let Nicky set the pace and match him. The water will probably splash over the edges but at the moment he doesn't care. ]

Though nothing this holy can be a sin.
