[Rude moves to lay down next to Rufus, letting their fingers tangle. Yes, these were good.]

If it's only fair, then I have no choice but to agree.

[But sharing something of what he was once was a good idea.]

We should go to Costa some day.

[ambitiousblond]

I would like that. But we're not staying at my family's summer house there.

[Too many memories he doesn't want to be reminded of. Rufus moves closer to Rude, pressing his lips against the corner of Rude's with the promise of more. Despite the late hour and a head injury, Rufus isn't ready to go to sleep just yet.]

You can show me what it's really like, not just the private beach I remember.

I could take you home. To my family. See what it's really like, what Costa should be.

[ambitiousblond]

Does your family know about us?

[he's not good with family things, the Shinra family was not exactly a loving and supportive one but he'll trust Rude if he wants to introduce Rufus to them.]

I would love to meet them. And see where you grew up.

[looking_sharp]

[No, not yet. But that could be changed. And Rufus could just be introduced as Rufus.]

I would show you. But it could get a bit... tense at times.

[ambitiousblond]

That's to be expected. I'm sure they're aren't expecting you to walk in the door with the president of Shinra.

[He knew that even if he was introduced as just Rufus he could never hide who he really was. But he would be just Rufus as much as he could. With Rude, that's all he wanted to be.]

[looking_sharp]

No. But walking in with someone I love? That's a reason to risk home.

[Besides, his mother knew he owed his life to the company. She wouldn't hate Rufus for that.]

[ambitiousblond]

[Rufus smiles against his lips, unable to help himself. He had spent a lifetime telling himself he never needed to be loved- it was something that he would never be able to afford. His father had withheld it so he had closed himself off for so long, removed from feeling anything real.

But whenever Rude said it to him he felt warm, happy. Something he never thought he was capable of.]

I'll try to make the best impression on them that I can. You'll have to tell me how so I don't mess it up.

[looking_sharp]

I will, when it gets closer to happening.

[Because some of it really was a secret he needed to keep until then. It was just... Well, it was habit.]

[ambitiousblond]

We can plan it tomorrow. But for tonight-

[Rufus leans up a little to press a kiss against Rude's lips, wrapping an arm around his waist to pull him just a little bit closer.]

Tonight is ours.

[looking_sharp]

[Plan it tomorrow? Seemed a bit early. Bu Rude wasn't going to deny it. He was happy to hold Rufus, though, kissing him lightly and then sharing another to kiss Rufus's forehead.]

I'd be happy to hold you all night."

[ambitiousblond]

Mmm I suppose I should sleep, shouldn't I?

[He groans softly but smiles, looking up at Rude. He needed to clean off and change but he couldn't find it himself to leave Rude's arms just yet.]

I'll sleep well tonight then.

[looking_sharp]

[Rude offered a soft smile, a hand coming up to stroke Rufus's cheek. Beautiful, and in the moment, his.]

I would think so, hurt as you are.

[ambitiousblond]

[All it takes is that gentle show of affection for Rufus to feel as if he's melting into the bed. This was theirs- he only allowed Rude to see him like this, happy and content without holding anything back.]

You're going to have to help me up to change.

[He was capable of it but he needed Rude to be the stronger of them to have the motivation to get up.]

[looking_sharp]

Of course I will. Do you want that now? I can carry you to shower as well.

[He could absolutely move himself if it was needed. Being a Turk meant doing a lot of things one didn't want when they didn't want to do them."

[ambitiousblond]

Yes, I feel dirty from the blood.

[Rufus normally would have insisted on walking himself, there was no reason he couldn't but there was something about tonight that made him want to stay close to Rude.

Must have been the head wound.]

[looking_sharp]

[If Rude knew about the head wound he'd be livid. AS it was, he slipped from Rufus's arms and picked him up.]

Come on. Time to clean up.

[ambitiousblond]

[Rufus laughs as he wraps an arm around Rude's shoulders, enjoying the ride. The stitches on his head still ached but he supposed that it was worth it for a night with the man he loves.]

I can shower by myself. I just want to rinse off before changing into clean clothes for bed.

[looking_sharp]

[Rude smirked as he carried his man toward the bathroom.]

You can. Do you want to?

[ambitiousblond]

Only if you in me in the shower and wash my back for me.

[Though Rufus's expression indicated that he had any intention of keeping it just a simple shower.]

There is more than enough room for us, just in case we need it.

[looking_sharp]

[Oh, Rude intended a simple shower.]

Alright then. I can agree to this.

[ambitiousblond]

[Rufus carefully slips from Rude's arms, not pausing as he gets the water started.]

I knew you can't resist me.

[Rufus is purposefully coy in how he slips his shirt off, playing up the corny factor as it falls to the floor.]

[looking_sharp]

[Rude rolls his eyes. He can and he will resist as is needed. And he feels it's needed. He knows he shouldn't get frisky with Rufus when the man is hurt. Not at all.]

I'm resisting.

[ambitiousblond]

Still?

[Rufus finishes stripping, giving Rude a grin as he steps under the water. He's careful to keep water off of the stitches Rude had put in, not wanting to undo his work.

It does feel good to rinse the blood from his hair and when Rude doesn't join him, he turns the water and steps out carefully.]

[looking_sharp]

[Rude offered a shrug. He waited for Rufus to get out, then gathered up the towel. He didn't stop himself from carefully drying Rufus off.}

A head wound plus an arousal is bad combination. Too many places for blood to go.
