More romantic. As if seeing you so needy for me isn't romantic.

[ It's music to Joe's ears. Nicky caught up in passion is a thing of beauty. He loves sharing his body with him like this. It's not rose petals tossed across the bed and gentle love making but it is still them.

He flexes the muscles in his thighs to give his love a little extra pleasure because he's very bad at being passive and has to give something. It's in his nature. ]

It's not the word I would think of.

[ He's not very coherent right now, either, the words under his breath as he grabs at Joe's hair to haul him up for a frantic kiss, biting at his lip, only as vicious as he feels safe being, not wanting to hurt Joe at all.

He might be desperate, but not enough to do that. ]

Joe. Please.

[ It's not going to take much more, and within minutes, the friction and a helping hand from his own right hand tips him over the edge, making a mess of Joe's thighs the way his face is still sticky. And their team definitely knows what they just got up to, from the sound. ]

[ He surges into the kiss giving as good as he got, giving Nicky every ounce of love and lust he feels.

The way Nicky says his name and the little please that follows makes him shudder with pleasure. ]

I have you, love.

[ Joe runs his palms over Nicky's chest and toys with his nipples until he feels his body shudder. Then he wraps his arms around him and pulls him down to the bed to cuddle. ]

We will need a shower. [ The team will definitely know what they were up to. ]

[ The kiss is everything Nicky needs. He soaks it up like it's a force of energy, desperate to let it soothe his aches and frustrations, his fears and worries. For the most part, it does.

He suspects the shower later is going to help soothe the rest. ]

I think maybe I taste less like wine now and more like something else. [ He sags, though, a sigh on his lips, and he's so relieved to be feeling quiet in his head. It won't last, but it's good enough for now. He settles his hands on top of Joe's, holding onto him as he burrows in. ]

I can start the water, but it would mean leaving your touch.

Only a little. [ He nuzzles Nicky's cheek, glad to see the tension gone from around his eyes. Nicky's big heart worried too much sometimes but Joe's the same. ]

I do hate the idea of getting out of bed right now. [ They'll cuddle in the shower too but this is really nice right now. ] Maybe in a minute we'll get up together.

[ Until then he's going to gently stroke Nicky's back and simply be with the man he loves. It's his favorite. ]

[ Nicky lets out a huff of laughter, because it's very hopeful to think that they'll get up again after they've been cuddling like this. ] Maybe. [ He echoes that word, curling even tighter with Joe into his warmth, making a small noise of pleasure for how good it feels.

His eyes are already fluttering, though he knows if he falls asleep like this, he will pay for it. ]

I think we should bring up the vacation at breakfast.

We can do that. [ Everyone will be understanding, Joe imagines. Andy's never held them back before. He nuzzles his temple gently. ] How long do you want to go?

[ Joe would like a month. That should give them time to be idiots in love and work through the complicated emotions left from being tortured by medical science and betrayed by a close friend. ]

[ He doesn't want to go for too short that it doesn't feel like enough, but also too long and he might be tempted not to come back. ] Four to eight weeks? [ No more than two months, or he'll be tempted to just run away with Joe and not return for a half century. ]

[ It's happened before.

He absently strokes the back of Joe's hair, fingers twining with the curls, thinking about how nice it could be. ] Maybe we could lay some groundwork to return in a decade or so.

Hm, about what I was thinking. [ Two months would be a lot since they should still help train Nile. ] No one should be against that.

[ He makes a happy sound as Nicky plays with his hair. There's a sensation he loves. ] Next you're going to tell me we should just buy a house.

[ Owning property when you're immortal is so tricky. It gives Joe a headache. ]

No buying houses, but establishing identities, scoping out what we can rent.

[ It would be very nice if they could start making a place for themselves and their new identities. Yes, owning something is good, too, but then you have to pass it to your own kin, who is you, and that gets messy.

He keeps twining his fingers in his hair, tugging him in for a kiss. ]Maybe I should fetch coffee in the morning to soften Andy's mind?

I bet our new friend could make us identities.

[ That would normally be Booker's job but... they'll have to trust Copley instead which Joe isn't sold on either. They can find the property and Copley can make them the identities to rent it. ]

Mm, make her favorite breakfast too. [ He leans into the kiss, gently sliding his tongue along his lips. ] She can't say no then.

Do I get to pick for you and you for me? I like it when we give each other new identities.

[ It would be nice, too, if they were going to settle at some point, if they could establish themselves as a married couple. Nicky hates when they find a place to live and end up having to play at very good friends.

Nicky yanks Joe on top of him, rolling onto his back, humming into the kiss as he slides his knee between Joe's legs. ]

I should start to clean up, if I'm going to do all this tomorrow.

As long as we're married. [ He's reading Nicky's mind. Or Nicky's reading his. ] The 'friends on vacation' is annoying when I want to kiss you constantly.

[ Speaking of kissing, they should do more of that. Joe kisses him over and over while he settles his weight on top of him. ]

Hmm, you're right. My thighs are starting to stick together. [ One more kiss though before he rolls away and gets to his feet. ] Come on, love. I'll help you tomorrow. Do you think we have what I need to make Turkish coffee?

If we are going to spend weeks there, and maybe years later down the line, we are absolutely being married.

[ In Nicky's opinion, he refuses to do anything other than missions where they're not. Pushing up from the bed, he reaches out to steal Joe's hand to help himself up, kissing him as he crawls to his feet, still wiping at his face with all that stickiness still there. ]

You know what name I really like? [ He grins as he looks over his shoulder, on his way to the bathroom. ] Nicky Al-Kaysani. I think it has a real ring to it.

[ Maybe he could dig out his actual rings, too. ]

We should have everything we need, so long as she hasn't drank it already.

Please, Nicolo Al-Kaysani. [ It's rare they use their actual names and actual identities but it's been a few hundred years. They should be able to do it.

Joe takes a moment to admire Nicky as he walks. That ass is perfection. Not even the statue of David could match it's splendor. So he reaches out and gives it a playful smack. ] I demand wedding rings.

Hopefully she hasn't. You know she never uses enough sugar. [ He's very picky about Turkish coffee. ]

[ Nicky actually shivers for the way that sounds. He's not sure he's ever heard the two put together, but it sounds better than thinking about it. He stops at the smack, but not to protest. Instead, to wrap both arms around Joe's neck and tug him in for a kiss so he can march them to the shower together, speaking in between kisses. ]

I will find the rings, I think they were in a safe near here.

[ He delights in the kisses, giving a needy sound as he claws at the bathroom doorknob, giving Joe a nudge inside. ]

I know, and I know you are as bitter as the coffe about it.

[ Joe stumbles a little and crashes into Nicky but he's delighted by the whole thing. He wraps an arm around Nicky's waist to steady himself. ]

If you can't find them I'll propose again. Our vacation spot can be our honeymoon. [ Why not get married again? Why not honeymoon again? He's just as much in love as the first time so why not do it again? ]

Coffee is scared. Don't you dare tell me otherwise. [ He reaches back to turn on the shower. ]

[ Nicky makes sure to lock the bathroom door so no one can sneak in and disturb them, because it would be very bad if their private time was cut short. He shifts and perches on the edge of the tub as he considers Joe. ]

Maybe it would not be so bad to have new rings anyway.

[ And not just because he'll never say no to another proposal from Joe. ] And I know. I know you have very strong opinions on coffee. [ Which Nicky shares, so he can't really speak. ]

[ It's a miracle Andy hasn't come to pound on their door and tell them to shut up. ]

If you want a new ring say the word and I'll find you a new one. [ He does like the look of some high fashion men's engagement rings. ]

Starbucks is a scourge on the earth. A plague of high priced crap. [ He adjusts the water to a comfortable hot checking with his hand occasionally to make sure it's not too hot. ]

[Maybe Andy also knows how unsettled Nicky has been and this is his one-time reprieve. He doubts she will be so magnanimous for very long, so he should take advantage of it while he can.]

Then by all means, Yusuf, please buy me a new ring. And yourself at the same time.

[He reaches out for Joe's hand to press kisses to the two rings he already has, murmuring agreement about Starbucks without words, but then, they were there for the dawn of Turkish coffee. Nothing else will compare.]

One day, humanity will invent something new that is even more awful, I'm sure.

I almost want to delay our date so I can propose to you in public. [ Because he loves public declarations of love. He wants the whole world to know just how much he loves Nicolo. ] But we'll just have another date.

[ He tenderly brushes his fingers against Nicky's cheek. His heart really is the sweetest man to ever walk the earth. ]

And you'll be very patient listening to me complain. [ He gently tugs Nicky to his feet and nudges him into the shower when the water temperature is right. It'll be a tight fit which just means they get to press very close together. ]

Such a hardship, to date you more than once.

[He beams at him as he pushes to his feet once the water seems warm enough, noticing just how tight it will be. He's alight for it, though, and steps in to wrap his arms around Joe's waist, letting the water get his hair stuck to his forehead as it sluices over him and starts cleaning him off.]

Of course, with phones these days, we might have to be careful how public. People might videotape it and put it on the internet. You are very romantic and persuasive.

[He sighs for the warm water on his muscles, turning them to put Joe in the line of the water, digging his fingers into Joe's shoulders to massage them.]

I know I ask for a lot.

[ Joe spends a minute letting his eyes water over Nicky while water cascades down his body. It is... very tempting. ]

Part of me wants that. I want some lonely, confused young man to see it and have hope he can have the same future. [ He groans loudly. ] Yes, Nico, right there.

[ Definitely going to be heard by the team but damn, Nicky's hands are magic. ] But it can be a little more private.

[Nicky's shoulders have relaxed, calm as anything now that he's had a little time. He keeps digging his fingers into Joe's shoulders, sliding his palm up his neck to cup his cheek, still in awe that he'd managed to figure this out and get this man.]

Maybe if Copley would remove it in a year or two, we could let it leak.

[Nicky would like some mementos of the special moments, even if he already knows he will cry when Joe proposes. He always does.]

Hm. You did say you wanted more photos.

[ Joe rests his forehead against Nicky's and closes his eyes to better enjoy his touch. ]

Let me propose. We'll see if anyone even bothers to film it. [ They will both cry. Joe somehow manages to hold back until after the proposal is done usually. ] People might not bother. Or we can get Nile to do it? She's good with a phone.
