RE: Best Friend's Love (PrincessGumdrop, Church)
Simon made a face though tried to hide it so he wouldn't seem like he was acting like he was better than anyone else even though he absolutely loathed having to take a taxi or the bus. He preferred to drive because of the intimacy. A frown appeared on his face, feeling rejected by the other and he didn't take that well. He was a little weary of what the other had to say after that though he soon felt bad though it seemed Akira was still very much attached to his previous lover and not supremely interested in finding someone else. The other mentioned his boyfriend being shot for him and then immediately looked at his leg, guessing that was where he had been shot, and then the other mentioned how good he was in bed. Simon didn't know if it was a challenge but it turned him on immensely. He licked his lips and looked at the other, studying him and his body language as if he were a predator honing in on his prey. "So what have you been doing living with me? I can't really see myself having someone living with me if they aren't 'with' me, if you catch my drift" he said, smirking a little. He wouldn't kick the other out if he still decided he didn't want to be with Simon but it might grow awkward between them.
This Simon was far more self confidant, if that was possible, not remembering the more humbling experiences, not that there really were any. It was more that young invincible thought process, completely forgetting the things in his life that had hurt him emotionally. "You know? I think I have a place we can go" he said, calling a company for a cab, preferring it to a bus. He had on jeans and flip flops, meaning it was clearly a more laid back place, as Akira requested. They drove out of town and down a dirt road, finding a run down little building that looked slightly sketchy. He took him inside and put his sunglasses on the top of his head, the place reeked of alcohol and smoke but he led Akira towards the back, where there were two full sized beach volleyball courts with tables surrounding them. He sat next to Akira and put an arm on the back of his chair, they were both facing one of the courts "pretty cool huh?" he asked, smiling at him. A couple of guys made a big deal when they saw him, claiming it had been years and he didn't hardly look any older. They talked him into playing doubles with them and he told Akira he'd be back momentarily and for him to order for him.
Simon pulled the shirt off and rolled the bottom of his pants up while going barefoot. It all came to him naturally and he was laughing with the men most of the time. "Who are you with?" "his name is Akira" "are you together?" "no, but I'm working on it" he said, glasses on so that Akira wouldn't be able to tell if he was looking at him, though he sent smiles his way often. They finished their game and Simon's team one, giving an over the top bow and earning a shove from one of the males "don't be a sore loser Max" he teased, breathing a little harder and sweating a little, sitting back down next to Akira and downing a water. "I apologize for my absence" he told the other, kissing his knuckles and leaning back in his chair "what did you order?"
