Prince Times Two [1x1 with Fantastical-Ducks]

Eve is grateful for the blanket because he tends to cling to everything when even the slightest spark of pleasure runs through his body and with Xander he's a clingy mess his hands tightening around the fabric or wrapping around the blondes neck twinning his fingers in his hair or clawing at his back.

And with every new mark Xan leaves on his body he's throwing his head back and practically worshipping Xanders name. And somehow the blonde gets him to make noises even he was unaware he could make. So to say hes a delirious mess by the time the blonde is done would be an understatement. Because all he really has the energy to do is cuddle up.

He enjoys staying close to Xan even after, its better this then being left alone like so many have done to him previously. So he rests his head on the blonde leaning up once and awhile to give a lazy sweet kiss or nibble playfully at his neck. And luckily its a warm day so theres not any rush to move which is good because some soreness is already setting in. If they became something more permanent hed have to teach the blonde a little more. But hes not sure what they are, and what this means. He only knows that he is starting to fall for the blonde and Xander only seems to be encouraging him on his way.

Eve smiled and looked up at Xander "Im fine a little sore but a good sore." He let his fingers trail over Xans skin exploring him lazily. He closed his eyes and leaned his head on the blonde. "What about you no existencial crisis?" He opened one eye while arching an eyebrow questioningly.

He was a little worried about Xander having sleepeless nights over all this though if the blonde was enjoying everything as much as he was then Eve was pretty sure he could not pull a 'I slipped' because this was certainly no accident.

Eve was content to stay lounging on Xander for awhile, slowly his energy returned and his sat up stealing Xan's shirt to wear. He wasn't actually going anywhere but he remembered that there was cheesecake and now that he'd had dessert well he wanted... Dessert. So he pulled out the cake and dishes out a slice for himself and Xan before cuddling back up to the blonde and eating the cake happily.

It was moments like this Eve wanted to remind that they were acting very couple like. But he figured the blonde would not take too kindly to that so he ignored the urge. Though that did give him an idea. The blonde was clearly not as straight as he claimed and Eve was quite sure he liked the blonde as more then a friend. So he was going to start courting Xander, surely the blonde would come to his senses sooner or later and return his affections. And if it did crash and burn and he ended up depressed well he could say he tried and that it wasn't his fault for lack of effort. Eve turned a little to eye Xander watching him eat cake, and he made up his mind he was going to win over the blonde.

Eve snorts and gives a soft laugh. "I'm glad because I think your quite comfortable as well." As if to prove his point he leaned further back into the blonde resting against him with a smile. "But what do I wonder? Do I owe these wandering hands too?" Eve smirked a little setting down the plate and wrapping his own arms and hands overtop of the ones the blonde had secured around his waist. He did not mind that Xander was touching him or holding him, but considering that they had just had sex and were both nude he did find that the blonde was pretty affectionate.

Now don't get Eve wrong he enjoyed that Xan was affectionate he only wanted to know if Xan's goal was to get another round or if he might like Eve as much as he did. "If you want a second round I'm going to have to teach you a few more things. Because as much as I love being sore from a good lover I'd also like to be able to walk tomorrow." There was oddly enough no teasing tone in Eve's voice except for the last part. He'd be able to walk just fine and he did not mind the soreness but that did not change the fact that Xan still needed to know a bit more if this was going to become a re-occuring thing.

Eve feels a shiver run through his body and he tilts his head so he can give the blonde a kiss. He manages to get Xander's grip to loosen and he moves to sit in the blonde's lap facing him. He doesn't mind taking on the role of teacher and he finds ways to keep it interesting for Xan. Even encouraging him to get curious and experiment a little and he's patient and enjoys everything the blonde does and repays him with more then a little bit of fun.

And it's nice that he gets the chance to take control and show the blonde what he can do and if he's honest he'd almost never do this for anyone else. Call him spoiled but when he was with a stranger or other partners he usually wasn't one to participate, mostly because they were rough but Xan is gentle and fun so he's earned it, though he could have done without the hair pulling because it made drinking Xan down more then a little difficult.

But Eve manages to get two more rounds in before it starts to get late and his body demands rest, so by the end he's collapsing on the blonde a panting mess his mouth dry and throat sore from all the noise the blonde managed to drag out of him. But he's passed on everything he knows to the blonde and thats more then he could have hoped for considering how distracted his mouth ended up being. He buries his face in the shoulder beneath him and tries in vain to catch his breath, he's tired and still a blushing mess but more then content with what he's received. "G-Guess I'm a good teacher huh?"

He's still panting when Xander decides he wants to steal even more of his air. Maybe the blonde was just trying to murder him and figured that sex was a hell of a way to go. If that was the case Eve would have to agree. But then he's pulling away and he's dizzy from lack of oxygen, so really when Xander moves them onto there side and wraps them in a blanket he can't complain. He cuddles closer to the blonde, "Hmm, I don't think there were any rules about sleeping outside so we should be all good." Giving a small smile he leans in for a peck.

Eve had intended to stay awake longer really he did but the all too comfortable and familiar presence of Xan and the exhaustion in his body was enough to make him fall asleep. And while sleep was peaceful and relaxing, waking up was... Not. When Eve opened his eyes he was quite content with the world, it was when he decided to try moving that his body protested. Letting out a whine he dramatically rolled onto Xander in order to wake him up. "I know that they say you should ride a cowboy to save a horse, but this cowboy better be ready to carry me because my legs are still jello." Eve pouted and huffed blushing in embarrassment. No one had ever really managed to get his legs to turn to jello and then stay there, yes he'd had sore mornings but nothing quite like this. And then his stomach growled making him pout more. "Your /so/ lucky I love you Xan." And it was said jokingly but Eve could feel his heart pick up anyway.

Eve does manage to pull on clothes and he thanks Xander's patience with him with kisses and lingering touches. He wasn't sure how he was going to win over the blonde just yet, but he decided that he would not try anything too drastic until he got frustrated, for now he planned to just try different methods, or because it was morning act cute and get all the mans attention.

Before long they were riding back to there home and Eve was happy to spend the time enjoying the fresh air and talking to Xan when the lull allowed. Unlike the first time something like this happened this time seemed to hold no awkwardness, if anything Eve felt a little victorious and proud of himself. Not that he would admit it out loud. When they returned to the stables Eve was happy to wait for Xan's help to get down. "You know you may have changed my mind about horses Xan, I kinda use to think they were intimidating and scary, but there pretty beautiful and super gentle... Or at least yours are. Don't count on my going near any other horses."

Eve lets out a squeak when Xander picks him up but he's happy to wrap his arms around the blonde and laugh enjoying getting spoiled, though when he said that Xan would have to carry him earlier he was unaware the man would take it literally. Then there in the house chatting away and Eve is happy to watch his Xan cooking away and he's eager to return the kisses and touches the blonde gives and all in all Eve is blushing star lily pink due to his fiancees attention.

"Are you happy?" For some reason this question seemed to be asking allot. Eve had spent allot of time around Xander to know that the blonde rarely got serious, when he did it paid to listen because even something small he did carried allot of meaning or importance. Eve felt his cheeks take on a cherry red color them were burning he was blushing so bad and there was a happy smile on his face as he sat down his dark green eyes catching Xanders. "If I'm honest... This is the happiest I've ever been. And I- ... I wanna thank you for making me happy."

To some that might seem over-dramatic but for Eve it was the truth. He'd been raised by parents who never showed love to each other, in a household where the staff cared more for him then most others, his life had been lesson to lesson always being told he was too energetic, too emotional, he needed composure, seriousness. All of these lessons made worse by his shyness, but Xander took that away, made him act silly, get emotional, feel energetic, feel human and less like a void shell following lessons. Xander made him happy and he wanted to make him happy. "Are you?"

Xander's answer makes Eve blush even more and the smile on his face grow. He looks down feeling shy and pokes at his food, why was Xan making it so easy to love him? "You know, I still hate my parents for doing this but... I guess I'm grateful I got to meet you." And then he's eating shyly looking up once and awhile to watch Xan and blush feeling his heart pick up each time there eyes lock and then he looks away feeling shy under the blondes gaze.

By the time breakfast is done Eve is feeling like he can walk so he's taking the plate from Xander and giving him a loving peck on the lips before getting started on the dishes. By the time Eve is elbow deep in bubbles the phone rings, its a weird sound to hear after it being just the two of them for so long. Of course they did get phone-calls but they were few and far between. "Hey Alex-Love can you get the phone please." And Eve is so distracted by his cleaning he has no idea what he's just called Xan. Nor does he have any idea he's just sent the blonde to answer to his own parents and his rather over-zealous way to eager for grandkids or at least a wedding mother.

Eve lets out a squeak when Xan grabs his butt and he sends a blush-filled glare to the blonde. He hears the phone ring a few more times before Xander picks it up and begins his return to the kitchen, and really Calhoun residence? Even Calhoun? It did not have the same ring as Even Blackadder but he supposed he'd get use to it for Xander. Eve goes back to minding the dishes not really caring who's on the phone until he hears his mothers voice, loud and over exaggerated as always and his head snaps up to look at the phone in shock. Why was his mom phoning?

"OH, darling there is no way my son is taking your name. Alexander Blackadder sweetie think about it, much better ring." Eve casts Xander a confused look as if he somehow knew what was going on. "Anyway sweetie, I'm phoning on behalf of the family that meaning your parents and we are going to come for a visit tomorrow night I'll bring dessert do you have any favorites? Oh its going to be so great!! And you two better be acting like the cutest couple-" Eve is only hearing every-other word that his mothers is saying her loud voice seeming to erupt from the phone but its enough to know that he's not going to like tomorrow.

Eve can't help the laugh that escapes his mouth when Xander despairs at there life. He had to agree that it was pretty bad but still. He finishes up the dishes and sits down across from the blonde. "By what I heard our parents are showing up tomorrow, guess I could make a big pan of lasagna, maybe some garlic bread?" He reaches over to gently hold Xan's hand. "Sorry about my mom by the way, she's super excitable, and also adores with you for some reason, personally I blame the horse thing." Eve smiles a little letting his fingers trace gently over the blondes hand to soothe him. "She's always wanted her 'baby bird' to get married to a prince and for some reason she thought you fit the bill, I blame the horse thing. I remember her shoving your picture in my face asking if I could bear waking up to you every-morning... If I give her props for anything its that she's right I could wake up to you every-morning." And he blushes at that.

But even with the joking and soothing words he's worried. "I'm worried about it you know, but we will get through it! I mean weve survived everything else. But its not until tomorrow so how about for today we head downstairs and play some games?" An evil grin forms on Eve's face, "If I get downstairs first were playing horror games!" And without waiting he's bolting out the kitchen ignoring his soreness in favor of getting Xan to pursue him, now if only it were so easy to get the blonde to pursue him romantically. But hey like his mom always said, 'a bird doesn't learn to fly on the first day' so he could wait and for now just be happy making the blonde smile and hopefully laugh, and if he got to the basement first cower in fear over grandfather clocks. You know just couple things.

Eve came down the stairs pouting because Xander cheated! He throws himself dramatically across Xan's lap. "Oh, the horror of having you cuddled close, anything but that." And his voice is full of sarcasm as he drags the blonde down for a kiss. "Have you considered that maybe I'm doing it on purpose Xan, that I want you all scared so you stay with me... Next i'll be burning all your shirts so your forced to go shirtless. And if you thought that was devious next il be acting so cute you'll be marrying me."

There's a playful smirk on Eve's face as he rolls off the blonde and goes to get the game set up. He enjoyed being able to joke like this, even if it wasn't too much of a joke. Well except for the shirt part... Ok well maybe.

Soon Eve had the game popped in and he was sitting back down though at this point he'd decided the blonde was far more comfortable the the couch so he sat in between the blonde's legs with his back to Xan's chest. It was comfortable and warm and if the game really started getting to the blonde well he could easily grab onto Eve. And really Eve was quite content to spend the day like this, playing games and lazing. Teasing Xan and leaving the blonde kisses and gentle touches. Though at this point it was starting to become second nature.

Every time Eve dies because of Xan he shoots the blonde a pouty glare. But for the most part he's happy to receive Xanders attention. But at one point Xander's wandering hands get him to gasp out a moan but then he's blushing neon and pouting even more refusing to make another squeak for the blonde let alone return any of his affections which as it turns out is immensely challenging and he gives up way to quickly. Over-time they change games, and once and awhile one of them goes up for snacks or a bathroom break but all in all its a perfect day of relaxation.

But eventual diner time does come around and Eve decides to cook, so he gives his fiancee a quick peck on the cheek before heading upstairs. Now Eve has a thing about being spoiled, he doesn't mind it and in fact secretly loves having someone shower him with attention and love and sweet forms of affection. But due to his firm belief that he doesn't deserve it he has a little bit of a more or less constant urge to return the favor so to speak. And Xan, well he seemed to love spoiling Eve, in attention, in gentle touches, in sweet gestures. And it was all overwhelming for the man because he wasn't sure how to quite return the affection, so maybe he'd done a little digging and maybe he'd asked his mom to find out but either way Eve had discovered that Xander really liked tacos.

It was a mildly shocking revelation because Eve had always thought that Xan being the type to show case his rich taste would have his favorite food be something like lobster, but no... Tacos. Eve wasn't going to complain about it but he still found it amusing, and with all the blonde had done for him lately he figured he'd make him a taco feast worthy of a prince. Of course... He'd also heard his mother once say that the way to a mans heart was through his stomach so it was a win win really. Once the table was set and the taco feast laid out Eve popped his head out of the kitchen to call Xander upstairs. "Oh honey dinners ready~ Your little wifey has made your favorite~" Ok, so yeah he was being a cheeky brat about it but it had been a joke he'd been wanting to make for awhile now.
