OOM: one of a number of visits from Sam Linnfer

[isaysimplewords]

When Cal and Sam arrived from Milliways, they lost no time in hitting the shower: sand in the bed isn't much fun for anyone, after all.

So now the bottom of Cal's tub is finely coated with sand, but the bed is comfortably sand-free for post-coital lounging.

Comments

[necessary_child]

Hint or no, that is not something Sam will be complaining about any time soon.

"You're no fun," he says, but turns his head briefly to kiss Cal's palm.

[isaysimplewords]

Cal smiles a little.

"I suck at nicknames," he says.

[necessary_child]

Innocently, "Amongst other things."

[isaysimplewords]

Yeah, Cal knew the second that came out of his mouth that Sam would have something to say about it.

"Oh, yeah? Like what?"

[necessary_child]

"Quite a few things, really," Sam smirks. "You're developing some serious talent there."

Of course, there were some areas where he already had it.

[isaysimplewords]

Cal laughs softly.

"Flatterer."

Clichéd flatterer.

[necessary_child]

It is not Sam's fault if the old lines are the most fun.

"It's a talent," he agrees, brightly.

[isaysimplewords]

"I like your talents," Cal tells him.

Hey, he didn't say flattery was a bad thing.

[necessary_child]

"Good," Sam says, smiling. "I'd be sad if you didn't."

[isaysimplewords]

"And I'd be bored if I didn't."

Can't have that.

[necessary_child]

"And I would never want you to be bored."

Sam hopes he is exciting enough for Cal!

[isaysimplewords]

Cal is still stroking Sam's cheek with slow, leisurely little motions.

"Better keep me entertained, then."

[necessary_child]

Mmmm.

"Am I not entertaining enough for you already?"

[isaysimplewords]

"For now," Cal murmurs. "Just don't fall down on the job."

That would be unfortunate. And boring.

[necessary_child]

"I'll try my very hardest for you, Favourite," Sam promises, and means that in at least three different ways, not all of which are innuendo.

(In fact, most of them aren't.)

[isaysimplewords]

"I guess that'll have to do."

He could say something else

(I know. I don't understand why, but I know.)

but he settles for kissing Sam instead.
