Hey, hey don't sweat it. I've been at this longer than you, I've just been... out of the city for a bit. They like jerking my chain.
[ nick's voice is wet, drawn tight like a steel string, and he strokes along his back slowly, climbs up into his hair like he used to do, it's a familiar motion that stretches across multiverse theory. his nails scritch softly against the nape of nick's neck as he keeps him close, presses the long, straight line of their bodies together, parallel lines that can't touch through clothing. ]
Please... don't worry about me. Maybe it's been a while, but I'm going to see if some of my friends are still around. [ he pulls away, just to see nick's face again, to grab it with his hand by the jaw and turn it this way and that like he's looking for a sign that the city has done him wrong as if nick isn't keeping it locked up tight. nick and nic--this isn't difficult, it's just different. ]
But honestly... [ a breath ] ... it's really overwhelming to be back. Shit's different. Not that different, but. [ softer, warmer, closer ] I'm really glad you found me. This is the most unexpected fucking thing but I've never been more grateful.
[ tris is cheesy like that as he pushes his lips to the top of nick's head, then again to his nose. stubborn. his cheeks. it's been so goddamn long in his world, and by the sounds of it, it's been a while for nick too. so he provides. ] You got a dom yet? Someone who can take care of you? [ the "besides me" is implied. there's only so much tristan can do as a submissive. ]
