onceavikingEric has left the door ajar.
He is inside, seated in one of the low chairs, his bare feet resting on the wolf pelt in front of it.
Watching the door.
There's a carafe and one glass on the table.
The bed is turned down.
The light is dim.

Stroking his hair.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 01:36 pm (UTC)He murmurs his approval against Eric's lips, deepening the kiss.
If Eric wants more than a hand job, again, it's his for the taking. Although Athelstan will be walking funny for days after this.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 01:43 pm (UTC)He isn't always all about mad and frenzied couplings, after all. Though one would be forgiven to think so.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 01:45 pm (UTC)That is also just fine!
It's quite nice, just this peaceful kissing and touching.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 01:47 pm (UTC)Soaking in the warmth.
He'll have to seek out Sookie.
If he doesn't at least kiss her before this -
He has to.
He deepens the kiss a little.

Date: 2015-01-31 01:50 pm (UTC)Athelstan leans into it with parted lips, enjoying it while it lasts and more than willing to share his warmth with Eric.
His hands begin to skim over all the skin he can reach, the touch mostly light but sometimes firmer.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 01:56 pm (UTC)His fingers staying out in Athelstan's hair.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 01:58 pm (UTC)He doesn't offer any more of his blood now. He's given enough for one day, even to have a less cold body to touch.
"What time is sunset?" he asks softly.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 02:02 pm (UTC)"You have spent too much time with me," he murmurs. "Sunrisewill be here soon enough."
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 02:04 pm (UTC)"...sunrise. Yes." He stirs. "Then I suppose I should be going."
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 02:09 pm (UTC)He shouldn't want him to stay.
But Athelstan isn't the only one who wants things he shouldn't want.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 02:11 pm (UTC)"All right", he says gently, and relaxes back against him. "Not yet. Not until it starts to affect you."
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 02:41 pm (UTC)He can feel his limbs grow heavy and his thoughts slow down.
He should tell Athelstan to leave now.
He doesn't.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 02:42 pm (UTC)Athelstan lifts his head to look at him.
"I can stay. If it's safe."
Perhaps, somehow, Eric's instincts won't react to him if he's already there.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 02:44 pm (UTC)"No," Eric murmurs. "You should leave."
It isn't safe. And -
"I do not sleep the way you do."
He moves his hands away so Athelstan can move off of him.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 02:46 pm (UTC)"All right." He pauses, leans in for one more kiss, and gets up.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 02:59 pm (UTC)He'll get dressed before he sleeps, so he gets off the bed and retrieves his jeans. His movements are sure enough, but slow.
He could ignore the pull of sleep but it takes energy and effort and there is no need.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 03:00 pm (UTC)Athelstan is getting dressed himself, which doesn't take long with his simple clothes.
He turns to look at Eric.
"I'll watch for you tomorrow night."
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 03:03 pm (UTC)"No," he says. "This is better."
Being remembered this way.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 03:04 pm (UTC)"...If you like." He smiles faintly, a little sad. "Then I can only wish you luck."
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 03:06 pm (UTC)And then he lies down on the bed again. Ignoring the messy and soiled bedding.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-31 03:07 pm (UTC)Athelstan takes a last look at him and slips quietly out the door.
