open to shay
Elijah had gotten the fabulous idea that he and Shay should get a hotel room to see what really being on their own would be like, and of course Shay had indulged him and agreed. After packing up and arriving at the room, they'd ordered room service and had a picnic on the bed. When Shay got up to take a shower, Elijah found his violin and settled on the floor to play for a bit.

He'd only just gotten the violin back recently from the FBI. He hadn't really played it, because it felt strange to even think about now that he didn't have to. He wanted to wait until he wanted to, and today he wanted to.

He had his shoes and socks off and was wearing a brown pair of slacks with a matching vest over a white t-shirt, and he probably looked silly sitting on the floor like he was. He was so into playing that he hadn't even heard the shower cut off, and he just kept right on playing until the song ended. He was going to start another one when he realized that the sound of water was no longer drifting out of the bathroom, and he turned his head in the direction he knew Shay must have been standing in with a shy smile.

"Are you watching me?" he asked softly.

Shay had always thought Elijah's playing was breathtaking. Only a fool wouldn't have been able to recognize, to feel the fact that the music was stunning. But Shay had only been privy to the music in captivity. There, the music belonged to Adam, even when Elijah played it down in the basement for the other boys to hear. While its beauty had shone through, the music Shay was hearing right now was so much brighter by comparison. It made his chest ache to hear the difference and realize how much pain Elijah had really been in back there.

Leaning against the bathroom doorway, he had a towel wrapped around his waist and his arms wrapped over the top of that. He pushed off of the doorframe and walked toward Elijah. "Every time we're in a room together, I'm watching you," he said fondly and bent down to kiss the top of the other boy's head.

Elijah smiled softly and he tipped his head up to catch Shay's lips with his own before he moved to put his violin away, back inside of it's case. Once he snapped it closed, he got to his feet and went to crawl up onto the bed, having to sort of feel around for it a bit since he wasn't use to the layout of the place.

"Should we order dessert?" he asked once he was settled, his legs tucked beneath his form.

Shay imagined taking photograph after photograph of Elijah with his violin. He reached for his pants that were slung over the end of the bed and tugged them on.

"I thought I was dessert," he said cheesily as he tossed the towel so it landed on Elijah's head gently. "Yes, let's order dessert. Something tall and made out of chocolate." Because they were staying in a fairly nice hotel and Shay really wanted to see what kind of extravagance they could muster up.

	Elijah laughed softly, and when the towel landed on his head, he reached up to tug it down though he held it up to his nose to smell it. It smelled like Shay, soap, and shampoo. "Are you suggesting we just douse you in chocolate because you're tall?" he teased as he let the towel drop to the floor and he plopped down on his stomach to sprawl out on the bed.

"Now there's an idea," he mused and was honestly intrigued by the notion. Sliding onto the bed, he nuzzled up close to him. "I want to do a shoot where I pour stuff on you. Paint, chocolate, jello--though I guess jello doesn't really pour so much as it plops."

He reached over Elijah to grab the menu off the bedside table. "No, like a chocolate tower, or something. I thought I saw one. Or a giant piece of cake."

When Shay cuddled up next to him, Elijah turned his head and smiled a little as his fingertips tiptoed up along the other boy's bare side.

"No shirt," he noted, then allowed his fingers to tiptoe down until the brushed against the waistband of Shay's pants. "But pants," he added with a grin before he rolled onto his back. "Paint, chocolate, whipped cream, strawberry sauce," he said softly. "What's a chocolate tower?"

"If we subtract the paint, you could be a human sundae, and I could live with that. To hell with the camera, I'll just eat you." He could hardly be expected to concentrate on photography when there was delicious food to be licked off of Elijah.

But at the revelation that Elijah had never seen a chocolate tower, Shay gasped. "It's a tower made out of chocolate. Like at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, it's pretty much a little mini chocolate Strat filled with raspberry stuff." He thought it was a travesty that Elijah had never experienced something like that. "We're so going to Vegas."

When Shay said that he'd just eat him, Lijah's cheeks flushed and he laughed softly. He wouldn't be against something like that, not at all, and he moved closer to Shay so that he could settle his head into the boy's lap.

"Okay, lets go to Vegas then," he said softly with a grin as he dipped his head in so that he could brush a kiss against Shay's stomach. "We can go anywhere you want."

The promise of adventure made Shay smile. He was glad that Elijah was willing to go anywhere with him. The possibilities were endless. "Maybe you could play violin on the strip. Or would that be--I don't know--would that be degrading? You're amazing. You should be playing packed concert halls, but you can do that too. I think it'd be cool to hang out and listen to you play violin in front of a casino." To see people stop and gawk because he knew just how good Elijah was.

Smoothing his hand over Elijah's hair, he exhaled. "I'll call room service. Do you want anything else? I feel like a drink too." He reached for the phone and dialed for the kitchen.

"I don't think that'd be degrating, no," Lijah said with a soft smile that warmed his entire face as he lifted a hand to brush his fingers against the side of Shay's face. He tugged lightly at a strand of the boy's hair as he stretched his legs out with a sigh. "Maybe a drink, too. A fruity margarita or something," he grinned.

He liked just lounging around with Shay and talking. Ordering off of the room service menu.

"If you get me two, I'll be drunk, I'm a light weight," he teased. "Okay - not drunk, but very giggly."

"Two it is," Shay laughed and put their order in. No chocolate towers to be had, but there was a giant fudge brownie with vanilla bean ice cream that sounded good, and a raspberry layered truffle thing. Two peach margaritas and a couple of cranberry drinks were also on the order and when Shay hung up the phone, he was very satisfied with the way the evening looked to be going.

"I wish apartment buildings came with room service," he mused with a wistful sigh. Not that he hated cooking, but he really liked it when professionals did it for him at all hours of the night.

"I'm sure there's apartment buildings in New York that do, New York has everything," he teased. "They at least have services you can call no matter what time and give a list to, and they bring you whatever is on it," he added as he turned onto his side, so that he was facing Shay's stomach.

He leaned forward and brushed a kiss against the other boy's navel, then kissed downwards to the top of his pants before he rolled onto his back again with a grin.

The direction of those kisses made Shay's stomach twitch and he had to restrain an expectant little grown from escaping his lips. "Tease," he murmured and hitched up his knee to block Elijah from doing it again, though it was only in jest.

"Murphy's in Lewiston with Parker and his boyfriend. I wonder if he's going to stay there. I'd still like to be in the same city as all of them. It'd be nice. Is that weird? I don't think I'd've ever thought I'd be wanting to move closer to them. You, yeah I wanted to be close to you. But them too? Seems like it'd just be bad memories, but they're not all bad memories."

Elijah smirked a little playfully and wiggled his eyebrows as he got settled against one of the pillows. He wet his lips and shook his head some, his smirk turning into a soft smile.

"No - I don't think it's weird. I'd like to be close to them, too. We went through a lot together, all of us, you know? We're the only ones who understand it. Maybe it'd be good for all of us to have that support system."

He scrunched up his face, worried he was going to kill the mood, but he had to ask. "Do you ever miss having sex with any of them?" Not that he wanted to be intimate with any of them, but there was a weird element of comfort that had been drawn from the act, even if it was for Adam's pleasure. He reached out to clasp Elijah's hand to make sure he didn't pull away from the question. It was probably inappropriate on so many levels, but he wanted to know because Elijah and Murphy had been close and Parker and Elijah had been there so much longer than Shay had.

Elijah furrowed his brow and he shook his head as he laced his fingers up with Shay's. It was moments like this that he wished he could see more than anything else, so that he could see the look on Shay's face.

While he'd slept with Parker, and Murphy, Adam hadn't ever gotten around to having Shay and Lijah sleep together. Elijah was thankful for that, because now it could really be theirs. They still hadn't had sex, and it was sort of amazing to have built a relationship for over a year without physical contact.

"No," he mumbled. "Do you?"

"No," he answered quickly, relieved, and leaned over to capture Elijah in a kiss, wanting to punctuate how hearing that made him feel. Shay had never in his life been the insecure sort, but he'd never really had much at stake in a relationship before.

His hands came up to Elijah's cheek and as he kissed him, he got up onto his knees and slung one leg over the other boy to straddle him and let his weight bear down on him a little.

The feeling of intensity in that kiss was breathtaking, and Elijah was grateful for it. He couldn't see Shay's expression, but that kiss was more than enough to assure him an he groaned and kissed back deeply as he felt the other boy's weight straddle him. His hands came up to cup both of Shay's cheeks and he parted his lips to deepen the kiss even more, and when he heard the knock at the door sounding that room service had arrived he let out a little whine to show how unhappy he was with their timing.

Making the concierge wait a few beats, Shay kissed Elijah through the groan, wanting to rile him up before they stopped to eat. Payback for that deceptive little trail of kisses down his stomach. He kind of liked that he was making the person on the other side of the door wait until he was done with his little make out session.

When the knock came again, a little more impatiently this time, Shay got up, leaving poor Lijah in the lurch. He tipped the guy a little extra and set the trays down on the bed, the drinks on the night stand.

Elijah rocked his hips up and let himself enjoy the kiss, not at all caring that Shay was making the concierge wait. When Shay got up to answer the door, Lijah tried to hold onto him playfully before he let go and moved to sit up. When Shay came back he held a hand out for his drink. He'd feel around for it, but he didn't want to knock it over.

"You know, you're really the one who's the tease because you never put a shirt on. It was like you were asking for me to kiss you there," he smiled.

"I can't help that I like the way you feel me up to tell what I'm wearing." The sound of his voice was all smiles and he offered Elijah the peach margarita, placing the ice cold glass against his fingertips first to let him feel how cold it was and then firmly into his hand.

"Will you play for me after we finish dessert?" he asked sweetly as he got a forkful of the raspberry one and took a bite.

Elijah grinned and he took the cold drink from Shay so that he could bring the straw up to his lips. He took a long sip and wet his lips, clearly enjoying the flavor.

"I'm glad you don't get bothered by how much I feel you up to see what you're wearing," he said with a smile. "I guess being blind has it's advantages. And yeah, I'll play for you, it feels good to be playing again."

"It certainly has its advantages for me. Your hands are just--" he paused and looked for the word. "They're just--very good at everything they do." So to speak. There was something more connective about the way Elijah touched him because he knew that his hands were a large part of how he ingested the world.

He drank his own margarita, making a little squeak when he took too large a gulp and got a brain freeze. The pain shot through his eye and down his throat, but it passed quickly and he had to laugh. "I haven't had one of those since I used to drink Slurpees everyday."

	"What? Did you get a brain freeze?" Lijah asked with a grin as he leaned over to brush a crooked kiss against Shay's temple, and then his forehead before he settled back down and sipped at his own margarita. "These are good," he murmured, and he was all ready feeling much more relaxed. "Where's the dessert?" he asked as he used his free hand to feel around for it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He clasped Elijah's hand to prevent him from getting the dessert. "If you eat, then how am I going to get you all liquored up? Those desserts are for me." His tone was clearly teasing and he cut a forkful of the brownie so that he could press it carefully to Elijah's lips. He liked the way the chocolate contrasted with the pink of his mouth.
