Choices

(Continued from Trouble in Paradise)

Jason knew he was not just tired but exhausted when he actually tripped on flat carpet as he walked toward their quarters. "Fuck me" he grumbled out as he glared at the harmless floor.

Slipping into their quarters, he made his way quietly in, not wanting to wake up Cillian if he could help it.

Can we talk?

Cillian had been trying to reach Jason on his com for hours and had gotten no answer -- nor any return call from the messages he had left. Pacing back past the desk, he looked at the letter that had been delivered today... from David. No gift this time, something so much worse... something he couldn't write off as reading things wrong. No, this letter had been asking him out to dinner, not as client and libertine, but on an actual date. Cillian had no idea what to do -- well, he knew he had to put a stop to it, but ...he wasn't sure what to do.


Trouble in paradise

An Evening In

Answering yet another email from Professor Sagan as he rode the lift up to his quarters, Jason bit off a growl of frustration as he tried to answer all the points in the message. He was still keying in a few last bits of the message as he walked down the hall and toed open the door. Hitting 'send', he practically threw his bag and com down near the door. "Please let that be the last one!"
Evening at home

(no subject)

Cillian meets some of Jason’s colleague at the observatory, it could have gone better. The boys also talk about how much time Jason is spending away.

".... you see the supernova has become completely occluded now. The measurements are matching to the program which is excellent progress. Kirk? Your work in documenting the changes is still a bit dodgy - if you want credit for it, you'd better prove it through the writing. Jason? Excellent write up as usual, but I want you to review Kirk's to make sure the two reports don't contradict each other. Any weak areas, you two fix. Now, let's take a look at the pattern of ...” Doctor Sagan's voice trailed off as he turned and they followed quickly to gather around the holoscreen.

Cillian had slipped in unnoticed--or at least ignored. He doesn't understand half of what he's hearing--but he does pick up a few things, simply from hearing Jason talk about it when they are together. The boy decided to hang back, not wanting to interrupt, even though he was expected.

A step too far

Cillian took another sip of his tea and made a face as he realized it had gotten cold. The bracelet that David had given him sat on the table next to the pretty gift box it had been in. It was simple...but beautiful.

He should be excited but something was nagging at him

(no subject)

OOC: This chat follows directly with this arc. It’s not backdated, due to the …delay… we’re just playing it like it’s all happened close together, not months apart, as it doesn’t affect any other storyline.

Cillian and Jason meet for lunch and some discussion of the latest gift from Cillian’s client, David Thewlis.

Tasting his iced coffee, Jason made a face to realize that he must have added more sugar than he's realized. He could blame the late hours on the project but knew the last conversation he'd just had with Richard was the true cause.

PWP mostly

"Fuck that is smart!" Jason whistled under his breath as he watched the new gamma-isotope theory unfold on his vid screen. He tapped the display to replay it and again whistled happily at the sheer beauty of the idea and what it might mean down the road for their project.

Jason tries on his carnival costume

Twirling easily once, then again, Jason couldn't help giggling as he made a face at the oh-so-super-shiny suit he'd been given by the Carnival organizers. Wasn't aware that astronauts doubled as disco queens... Half-turning again, he snorted at the even tighter fit around his ass. Practically painted a target on it...

Jason Client Post - Two Brothers

(Warning : Now, most of you know I have a squick against brother-cest so I have no idea where this bunny came from but here it is. You've been warned! Much thanks to two pervy gals - Jay as Chris (Evans) the elder brother, and Jess (sorry sweetie!) as Chad (Michael Murray) the younger. For those who don't know them, Chris is going to be the Human Torch in Fantastic Four and Chad stars in One Tree Hill on WB. Pretty piccies posted as well.)

Chad stood outside the door and thanked the escort. He looked at his older brother and ducked his head. "So - Jason - he's nice right? Good looking?"

"Of course he is," Chris smiled reassuringly. "Would I bring you to someone who isn't nice? Or good looking? Besides, I've seen him a bunch of times, so I know he's a good guy. You don't mind, do you?" he asked suddenly, looking at Chad. "That I've seen Jason before, I mean?"

Chad looked at him, a quizzical expression on his face. "That you've been seeing him?" Then he blinked. "Oh - since he's my - well - my first? No. That's good. That way I know - well.." He grinned. "I know that he knows what he's doing? Right?"
On the subject of brothers

Chocolate is good

Cillian sat down on the couch, feet curled beneath him. With one hand he reached for his sheet music, with another for the box of chocolate that had been in the gift basket that arrived earlier. Biting into one of the chocolate praline candies, he hummed softly to himself as he tried to work the song out in his head, tapping his pencil against his lips as he chewed.

Carrying a set of printouts and a lab book, Jason shuffled and shifted until finally he could open the door to their quarters. He could see that Cillian was zoned on his music so he set everything down, then made his way over to the couch. Spotting the candy, his eyes light up and he reached down to grab a few chocolates for himself

reunion

Cillian lay wrong ways on the bed, giggling breathlessly, flopping over onto his side to look at Jason with a grin. He stole one more kiss, much less desperate than the one they shared the moment he had walked through the door -- which had been a blur of clothes coming off and slick flesh moving together. "So," he laughed. "How have your last two days been?"

Heart still pounding loudly, Jason grinned over at Cillian

A quiet talk

(Backdated to the day Jason meets Adrian here)

Cillian had felt restless in the room -- having the better part of the afternoon and evening to himself. It didn't help that a touch of melancholy had set in... he wasn't even sure why. He'd spoken to his mum, but he wasn't sure it was exactly that. It was just one of those moods that tended to set in sometimes, and he hadn't wanted to be cooped up.

The boy had left a note for Jason, telling him he'd gone out to the gardens, then grabbed his violin and went. The intention had been to actually work on a few of the pieces in progress he'd been kicking about, but he ended up just playing a bit -- a quiet, rambling tune that reflected some of his mood, but allowed him to clear his head a bit.

Jason and Guy- Lawyers and Stamina

Cutting the wink to the server, Guy leaned back in his chair and took a sip of his coffee, paused to add another three spoonfuls of sugar, and sipped again. Perfect.

Walking up behind Guy, Jason waited til the other man had set his coffee down to lean down and blow a raspberry against Guy's neck. Ignoring the yelp, he sat down himself and grinned as he helped himself to a sip, then ordered the same from the hovering server.

"You fucking wanker!" Guy sputtered, throwing a napkin at Jason. "Lucky I didn't knock coffee all over myself- would have made you pay for damages if I missed work."

Chasing Tails [Adrian, Jason, Johnny]

Christian was at work, Johnny was doing school stuff and Adrian was bored. He'd been dragging a piece of string around for the kitten to play with, but then Obie'd come charging over and the kitten had disappeared off under the furniture somewhere. He'd bowed to the inevitable and gone outside to play with the dogs, throwing a stuffed rabbit for the puppy to chase. Adrian figured there had to be a lot of retriever in that pup, 'cause although he chased it and grabbed it and ran around with it, he didn't tear it up.

Locked email to Michael

Hey Michael,

Just wanted to give you a heads up that in three weeks I'm going to be starting classes at the University and a project at the observatory that will make it impossible for me to teach the next sessions of my Palace classes. Our current session ends in two weeks and I've got that covered.

I hope the notice gives you enough time to easily set up other instructors. I've attached a list of other libertines that I think would make really great teachers. Feel free to have any of them tag team with me during any of the last sessions.

Let me know who you pick and I'll pass them my teaching notes. Thanks again boss, and sorry for any extra work this causes you.

Take care,

Jason Behr
