Outside Xan's Apartment Building, Manhattan, NY, Saturday
Xanthippe was having a panic attack.
Okay, no she wasn't. But it felt like the brink of one? Because she was on the sidewalk outside the building she lived in now, waiting for Hyacinthe, and up - way, way up - in her apartment she had stuff ready for his visit and a couple of gifts because maybe this'd be the last time before he finally went home, and what if he didn't like anything and what if she was a huge loser and what if --
Anyway. Outwardly, she was mostly cool? Just... standing there, beanie on her head and a coat on over her dress, fidgeting with her phone for lack of a better thing to do with her hands. She looked fine.
But she was going to internally flail herself to death if he didn't get here soon.
[ooc: NFB and for the one mentioned!]

Not when she was so busy acting like she was going to just melt onto him, letting her weight rest against him as she kept kissing him. Sweet, and slow.

"We shall have to spend some time, just like this," he murmured. "Holding you to me as the world goes on its merry way."
no subject
Just like she'd thought they might want something from the deli for their pizza.
no subject
Just how big was this apartment anyway?
no subject
And also the balcony.
Xanthippe snickered. "No, wait, sorry, I do wish that," she said. "Just hadn't thought of it that way. My bad."
no subject
Hya was already looking forward to it.
"Now I know to be dreadfully disappointed," he declared. "For I have thought of nothing but."
no subject
Well, at least she'd shared a few dirty thoughts over those phone calls, because they'd always made her feel like the apartment was kind of lonely in its distinct lack of him.
"Just, I didn't think about it now." Or at such all-encompassing a scale, anyway. "Maybe you should share some of your thoughts."

"Is that so?" she asked. "What are you hoping your hostess is gonna provide for you?"
no subject
He posed for her, showing off the lithe muscles in his arms.

Anyway, she shook her head, like she was shaking that thought away. "There's a Thai place that delivers like three blocks away." She'd... sort of given up on the pizza plan, for now. And anyway, it was going to be a long day, and they could get back to that.
no subject
Like most young men, Hyacinthe had yet to find a cuisine that he didn't like, so long as it was plentiful.
"Unless you actually meant ties. In which case...I am willing to try that, too."
You found this attractive, Xan. This was on you.
no subject
"I knew I should've bought you a gag, like, oh my God," Xanthippe told him with an amused eye roll, already pulling herself off him so she could go find her phone. It was in her coat, which was... probably discarded by the door.
Just like her dress was about to be, right here on the floor. He'd already peeled it halfway off her, anyway.
no subject
Hyacinthe took advantage of her momentary absence to remove the rest of his clothing and then once more lounged on the couch, taking up as much room as possible with his lanky frame. Is Xanthippe wished to be comfortable, she would needs recline on him to do so - which pleased him to no end.
"Shall I come up with a signale, then?" he asked lazily. "That you may indulge in your whims of ties and gags?"
no subject
Or having hot people sprawling on her couch, as she noted the case was when she'd fished her phone out of the coat and turned around.
The look she gave him was equal parts a leer and just pure 'oh my god, you are ridiculous. "Hey, you're the one that brought up ties," she pointed out as she slowly made her way back, opening up a food delivery app on her way. "You don't know my whims!" Then she shrugged. "Good guess, though."
She'd learned the art of being a casual tease from him, so he couldn't complain.

Not that it wasn't super nice whenever he was reassuring.
no subject
So there, pretty Xan. So there.
"But I can be obedient," he added with a leer. "Why was it a good 'guess'?" he asked, absolutely giving the final word air quotes.
no subject
That was laughably untrue, looking at most of their interactions with each other.

No, she was aware that she was the brattiest brat.

And then promptly went back to poking at her phone, like an asshole who couldn't be swayed by his sad eyes. "Anyway, I'm ordering you lunch." Well, them. "I don't have time for, like, telling you about the restraints I bought or the room that's not really a room where I might make you scream."
She said all of that very casually, yes.

That was probably a lie, although she was focusing a bit more on tapping in her order, right now.
