"Hand painting," Joe corrects, smiling. He leans forward when Nicky coaxes him to, resting his cheek against his shoulder and his hand on Nicky's thigh. He makes a small noise of pleasure when Nicky's palm smears paint on the small of his back, nuzzling Nicky's neck.

The question is raw enough to make him lean back and meet Nicky's eyes, his eyebrows arching at what he sees there. He moves his hand to cup Nicky's cheek instead, his gaze warm and soft. "Yes, Nico. I promise." There is nowhere else he'd rather be, and he can't imagine that changing in the near future.

Nicky takes a little longer on these marks because of where Joe is. He breathes in deeply, loving the closeness of his body, the way it feels so perfect with his mouth where it is, his hand on his cheek. He slides his fingers out to start painting again, stealing soft kisses in between, enjoying the gentle touch of it as he eases back with a sunny smile.

"Good, because I'm not the easiest man to get along with," he confesses, eyes sparkling, as if Joe doesn't already know that. "I don't know when another handsome artist would ask me to pose nude for him, I don't think that chance comes along that often."

He lets his fingers slide down Joe's arm, and then the next handprint goes over the meat of his shoulder.

Nicky's full smile is such a beautiful sight, Joe feels truly lucky that he gets to see it often now. He grins back, his eyes crinkling at the corners, kissing back each time Nicky leans in.

"I've noticed. I like that about you, actually." Joe does mean that. He likes that Nicky has strong opinions, that he will argue if he judges it necessary, that he will keep Joe on his toes.

He chuckles when Nicky mentions how they met, shaking his head. "You know I meant it as a joke, right? I wasn't expecting you to just casually accept." He grins wider. "I thought wow, these European guys truly are very comfortable with nudity."

He looks down at his own shoulder, taking in the shape of Nicky's large hand, red-orange on his skin. "Where next?" he inquires, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

Nicky is getting distracted by these kisses, so he knows he's going to have to start paying attention soon to the painting, or he's going to end up on top of Joe, doing nothing more than making out with him. Not that it would be a bad thing, but he has more marks he wants to put on him.

He leans back so he can paint his palm blue, reaching for Joe's leg, hitching the ankle around his waist so he can put a blue handprint on Joe's inner thigh, squeezing gently as the palm mark starts to become distorted.

"You put it out there as a joke, but if I refused, I would have lost the game." Never mind that there probably wasn't a game they were playing. In Nicky's mind, there had been.

That would not be a bad thing, Joe would enjoy that. He's curious to see what Nicky's final vision with this is, however.

Joe wraps his leg around Nicky's waist easily, shifting to keep his balance. He's half-hard already, from Nicky kissing him and touching him and promising him a future together. His underwear doesn't do much to conceal it, but he's completely unashamed.

"I think if you'd refused, I would have lost the game too," Joe remarks, grinning. Not the same game, perhaps, but their game nonetheless. He watches Nicky's handprint on his inner thigh, his eyebrows arching. "Look, if you're gearing up to put one on my ass eventually, just fess up and ask now," he teases, his eyes dark and warm.

Nicky's eyes slide down to what Joe's underwear is doing a poor job concealing, licking his lips. He's only partway through his very possessive hand-painting of Joe, but the more time that passes, the more he wants to go wash his hands and use his hand for something else.

Unless...

"I was thinking, actually, that I could put it on your cock, but I'm not sure if that's safe," he confesses bluntly.

"Uh," Joe says, his mind going a little blank at the idea of Nicky touching him like this. "Probably not," he says, his eyes follow Nicky's tongue as he licks over his lips. "But I do have skin-safe paint for face painting. That would probably work."

Joe lets his thighs fall open a little wider, leaning back on his hands to put the muscles in his chest in sharp relief. "Do you want me to go and get it?" he offers, teasingly.

Nicky lets his gaze slide down, too, on the bulge in Joe's pants that interests him so much. He lets out a shaky breath once he moves, palming his way up Joe's chest to grab him by the waist and kiss him. "I want you to get the right paint and then come take your pants off," he says firmly.

"Because I want to mark you everywhere," is Nicky's main intention. "You're going to be mine, Joe, all mine, and my hands on you will prove it."

Joe's arms come around Nicky's painted shoulders, feeling the paint flake a little under his hands. "Nicky," he whispers, awed, and then kisses back, his eyes slipping shut. He grins at the request, tilting his head to the side as he considers. "I hadn't realized marks of ownership were an option, or I would definitely have painted your face," he returns, touching the corner of Nicky's lips.

He nods, giving Nicky another kiss. "You can put your hands everywhere you like, Nicky. It's all yours to touch." He has to move away to get the right paint, rummaging through a few drawers and throwing tubes over to the couch. He comes back to sit next to Nicky, removing his underwear carefully.

"Face painting, Joe? Really?" he teases, smirking as he leans in to kiss him through every barb and tease. "Would you have given me whiskers, to be the most fearsome jungle cat in creation?" he can't help but prod, smirking through the next kiss.

He slides back to take the new paint, smearing it on his palm and hungrily eyeing Joe as he takes off his underwear. Nicky still has his sweatpants and underwear on, but if the paint is safe for skin, it's probably safe for clothes, too.

"Well, then, I want to touch..." he trails off, taking Joe's cock in hand, squeezing slightly, and giving it a paint-streaked stroke.

Joe grins, touching Nicky's upper lip, amused at the idea of giving him whiskers. "No, I think I would have used silver, green and blue to draw rays starting around your eyes and crossing your whole face." He traces a line down Nicky's cheek. "Like moonlight radiating from your gaze."

He leans back on the couch, letting Nicky move closer to him. The touch draws a gasp because it is cold and sticky but pleasurable nonetheless, Joe's hips arching into it. He spreads his thighs to encourage Nicky to paint him as he likes, displaying the hand print already there.

Nicky hums at the thought of the idea, thinking about how he would look as some sort of moonlit creature, emerging from Joe's painted fingertips, a new thing for the world to deal with. He has time for that later. They both will, since Nicky isn't planning to go home tonight.

He looks down at Joe's cock, twisting up his lips thoughtfully. "It's a bit smudged," he says, and starts getting the safe paint on his fingertips again, reaching for Joe's hip and digging his painted fingertips in, letting out a small noise of discontent, followed by a laugh.

Because, "I'm an idiot," he curses in Italian under his breath. "Joe, what have I done?" It's just hit him that now, he's not so sure about wrapping his mouth around Joe's cock, because of all the paint. And it's not like Joe can stick that inside him. Can he?

Nicky is otherworldly to Joe, and that face paint would only underline that more. There is time, still, yes. They can do it later.

Joe's breaths come out shaky for a few seconds when Nicky stops touching him. He swallows dryly and tries to get himself under control, tamping down the need to be touched again, to kiss Nicky again. He looks at the paint smears on his cock, huffing quietly. "It is." It barely even looks like a hand print at this point.

He looks back up when Nicky laughs and curses in Italian, his eyebrows arching curiously. "You've put paint all over me?" he offers, amused though he's not sure why Nicky is calling himself an idiot. The paint on his cock is drying and it's a strange itchy sensation, making him shift. Perhaps he'll have to get a washcloth and clean it off.

Nicky still feels a little out of control, even if he's very mad at himself. He digs his fingers into Joe's shoulders as he whines, kissing him deeply as he eases back with a heartbroken look, as though this is truly the worst thing that he's been through. "I cannot give you a blowjob, now," he says, despondently, sighing as he eases back. "And," he adds, "you cannot fuck me."

All these terrible things, all because Nicky wanted to show Joe just how much he belonged to him. And yet, he cannot be too upset, because he sees the handprints all over him and it drives him wild, his mind telling him how good it looks.

Nicky's dramatic response makes Joe laugh, even as he leans into his touch, kissing him back. It's a good kiss, deep and heated, stoking the fire of Joe's arousal. He nips on Nicky's lower lip, leaning back when he starts to speak again. "That... is a very serious problem," he says, sounding amused though the idea of not doing these things because of the paint is very disappointing.

"But we can fix that, tesoro." Joe cups Nicky's face with both hands, stroking over his cheekbones, catching his eyes. Nicky looks wild at the moment, his eyes dark and warm, and Joe has never been so attracted to anyone else before. "I'll go and wash it off, yes? I can leave the other ones on, if you'd like." He pats Nicky's shoulders seriously. "You get naked and into bed." He grins. "Then we can see about the things you want to do."

Nicky nods, like he's just discovered one of the world's most awful problems, but there's a smile hiding behind it, a tease and a joy, because this is what Nicky loves (and yes, he knows it's too early to love Joe, but that doesn't mean he can't love the time they spend together).

It's so easy to tease and not worry that Joe will think less of him or that he's an asshole. Well, he might, but he also knows there's more to him.

And, of course, Joe is brilliant. Nicky grabs at his wrist, a touch possessive, and holds on tightly. "Don't wash any others off," he warns. "I want to be able to see my hands all over you." His eyes are dark and burning with desire as he insists on this, but he thinks Joe gets it, and plus, he has to go get naked. "You go. I'll see you in your bed." His first time there, too, which is very exciting.

Joe can see that amused gleam in Nicky's eyes, though it's quite well-hidden behind his exaggerated despair. It makes him chuckle, shaking his head. He loves that Nicky can be a dramatic asshole, especially for something like this where no-one's feelings are actually getting hurt.

He pauses when Nicky grabs his wrist and keeps him still, slowly grinning. "I won't. I like your hands all over me." He leans in to give Nicky a coy kiss to the cheek, getting up when he's released. "Get yourself comfortable, yes? Test how bouncy the mattress is, rub your cheek against my pillow, anything you like. I'll be right over," he taunts, heading for the bathroom.

It won't take him long to clean himself, using a washcloth, warm water and a bit of soap to remove just enough paint that Nicky and he can still have a good time in bed. Then he'll hurry back to the bedroom to see what Nicky is doing.

With his shirt already off, Nicky doesn't have much to do to disrobe, but he takes special care to fold his socks, pants, and underwear and set them on top of Joe's dresser. He also wants to preserve Joe's beautiful art, which is why he lies on his stomach on Joe's bed, tugging a pillow towards him to rest his chin on it.

It smells of Joe, intoxicating like him and Nicky feels like he could get used to such a smell. He doesn't bounce on the mattress, but he does tip his cheek on Joe's pillow so he can watch over his shoulder for Joe.

"Joe," he calls out. "Am I allowed to rummage through your drawers, too? Am I going to find anything scandalous?" he asks, hopefully.

"You can rummage if you'd like," Joe calls back from the bathroom, sounding amused. "I don't have anything too scandalous in there, I think." There are a few things they could use if Nicky is into them, but nothing very kinky, in Joe opinion.

He steps in, smiling at the sight of Nicky lounging on the bed on his stomach, displaying the art on his back. It's smudging a little already and Joe hums, sitting down next to Nicky so he can lean in and kiss his shoulder, running his fingers lightly down his spine. "You look beautiful, habibi."

"Maybe in the morning, I'll go through your drawers and see what exciting things you have waiting for me." He shifts his gaze to let it land on Joe, his eyes soft as he lets his fingers run down his spine, over the artwork he'd put there.

They're going to make a painted and flaky mess all over the sheets, but Nicky can't bring himself to feel badly about it. "Would you like to put more marks on me? Or can we get to the part where you fuck me?" he asks, bluntly and hopefully all at the same time.

"You'll have to tell me what you like, and what you want to try," Joe says, amused at the idea of Nicky going through his drawers with that delighted little grin of his. He beams, leaning in to kiss Nicky's shoulder. "I have the robe you gifted me somewhere in my closet, too. I haven't worn it yet." Joe's been waiting for Nicky to come over so he can show it off. He tried it on briefly and it is very short on him.

He slips his fingers lower, grabbing a handful of Nicky's ass and squeezing playfully. "Perhaps I'll give you a couple of love bites," he teases, rolling closer and nipping on Nicky's shoulder. "It'll last longer than paint." He nuzzles the nape of Nicky's neck. "You want to stay like this?"

Nicky has plenty of ideas, but right now, he's riding the high of thinking about being Joe's boyfriend, of calling Joe his boyfriend in public, and to friends, and maybe even his family. That's a heady rush and a romantic and sexual kink that hasn't been fulfilled for him in a very long time.

He lets out a delighted yelp at the nip and the grab, chuckling into his folded arms. "I want to preserve the beautiful artscape on my back," he insists, voice rough. "So yes, I want to stay here. I hope fucking me like this is something you're willing to cope with," he teases.

"I'll manage somehow," Joe says, trying his best to sound put-upon even as he is grinning very brightly against Nicky's shoulder. "I can't guarantee I won't smudge your back, though. It's already beginning to flake." He shifts against Nicky, trying not to press against his back too much but keeping his mouth on his shoulder and lining their hips together. His cock fits very snugly along the cleft of Nicky's ass.

"I don't know what I was thinking, painting your back," he whispers in Nicky's ear, nipping at it. "Your ass is the real work of art here, I could never compete." He slips both his hands under Nicky's hips to make him arch up so he can rock against him and wrap his fingers around his cock.

Nicky makes a little soft moue of disappointment with his mouth, but it's something he can live with, especially seeing as Joe's cock is right there, and he's lifting his hips, touching him, teasing him, telling him all these wonderful things about his ass.

He grins into his arms, dizzy with want and need. "Then you should finish on it," he suggests roughly. "Pull out and paint me, in a different sort of way." Maybe Joe shouldn't be taking a picture of that one, but Nicky thinks he'd very much enjoy it.

The idea makes Joe curse in Arabic and lean in to nip at Nicky's shoulder again, harder this time. "You have such good ideas, tesoro," he says, his voice low with want. "You'll definitely need a shower after that."

He keeps stroking Nicky, slow and even, building his desire up even as he leans over to the side to get the lube and a condom. "Are you going to let me in, Nicolo?" he whispers, soon pressing slick fingers into Nicky, careful but not as careful as he was the first time, because he knows Nicky can take it.
