Give Me Time To Love

Jericho had always secretly pined for at least one fancy experience in his life. His time at the Host Club back at school was the closest he had ever gotten to elegance, but this was something else. At first, he was admittedly cautious of the advertisement, with all the tales of zombie ridden corn mazes and New Year’s hostage situations. But this… This had to be innocent. Taking advantage of the best feeling in the world was just too low. And on any case, if something did happen, Jericho wouldn’t be alone.

His feathers billowed in the sea breeze as he sided beside his boyfriend, just admiring the moment they were in. Behind him rolled light luggage packed only with the best he owned. Valentine’s Day was the day to impress a significant other, and Jericho was ready to go all out. But, first things were first- getting settled.

"I’m pumped. I honestly never thought I’d go on one of these, but I’m glad we did." He responded lightly, swaying their interlocked hands a bit in time with their steps. "Just you, me, and the ocean. Of course, if we ever needed or forgot anything Walmart is a short flight away." He affirmed. Of course, that was the last thing he wanted to do. Immersion was going to be important for this to work, and he did not want to leave this boat.

Once they got to the room, Jericho let go to allow themselves to get settled, Looking around, he grinned. It was fancy, romantic, and a lot roomier than his old dorm. "Mhmm..." He mumbled absentmindedly, arching his back to stretch a but after lugging their things to the room. While Cairo was turned away from him, Jericho approached from behind. His fingers ghosted up his rib cage, as his lips touched the nape of his neck. He sighed, speaking after with a grin in his voice. "Well, now that we’re here, is there anything you wanted to do in particular? There’s a hot tub somewhere… Pool… Couple’s massage…Or, we could rewind here if you like. It’s up to you." He reached to grasp his hands, holding them loosely. "Unless you have something else in mind?"
​

Jericho chuckled. Yeah, that was a possibility. His forgetful ass was most likely going to end up in the middle of the atlantic ocean, and frankly he didn’t think he’d get cell phone reception there anyhow. So here he stayed, and intended not to leave out of his boyfriend’s sight the whole week.

But, back to him. Jericho grinned as his hands fell within the soft grip of Cairo’s, which widened when he leaned in to kiss the tip of his nose. Jericho leaned back to get a good look at him- his inky-haired, god on earth- just to get a better appreciation of who they were and how far they had come. Cairo had grown a lot since the man who nearly ditched him as a part of a one night stand. "Guess I’m a bit impatient. The mood really is set here..." He looked around the room, noticing the glow of the day basking their room in warmth, making their space even cozier. His comment sent his easy grin to a full on smirk, as his hands traced down to a place behind him that wouldn’t be so acceptable beyond the door of their cabin. "Am I now? That’s pretty rich coming from the literal supermodel. Makes me wonder who here really is the angel." He followed his to the door, an easy stride in his step. He knew what was to follow. After all, he wouldn’t have paid this money if it didn’t end up with him getting lucky at least once.

Soon enough, he found himself under the sheets with him. His face buried in his shoulder, his occasionally touching his cheek as he spoke. God, Cairo could read the phonebook and Jericho would dreamily be all ears. Right now, Cairo was all that was on his mind. And after a busy school and work schedule, it felt good to finally catch up… In more ways than one.

"I love you too Cairo. I really, really do." He moved to sit up, in order to sit on his hips, looking down at his face. The sun high in the sky was eclipsed by his figure. His wings outstretched, causing him to look far more than the celestial being he already was. "Now..." His hands traced from holding his, to down his abs and over the zipper of his pants. His head dipped down as well, until he was eye level above the pelvis of his boyfriend. "I think it’s about damn time that I show you that."

Time slipped by like it didn’t exist in the first place. Jericho, clothesless under the sheets, lay with his forearm against his face, which bore a content smile. How long did they go at it? He couldn’t tell. It didn’t matter. He could lay here like this forever, but their cruise was only beginning. There was plenty of fun to be had, even if it didn’t involve pillowtalk. "Shit, man." He chuckled, still looking above him blindly. "You really are incredible."
