[ Kaveh is in the study, working (as usual) on a design related to the house they currently have under construction, when he hears first the door, and then Alhaitham's voice. It's with a smile that he emerges from the room, feet bare, paint smudged on one cheek and his hair tied back in a loose bun. He leans against the doorframe with one outstretched arm, his ring visibly glinting on his hand.
(It's been two months, and he's not done parading it around everywhere just yet, thank you very much.) ]
[It is cute. Alhaitham is not someone who ever imagined he would ask someone to marry him, nor that anyone would ever be so pleased with themselves that he asked, but he has no complaints about either.]
Productive. I may have a lead to something interesting, but we'll see how it pans out.
[He straightens up from taking his shoes off with a sigh and a small stretch, snagging the bag at his feet along the way, then steps over to kiss the other man gently.]
[ His brows raise in response to that as he watches Alhaitham stretching out, and maybe taking a little too much time to peek at the way the the other's shirt lifts just momentarily above his waistline, showing off slim, built muscle. ]
Tell me about it?
[ The curiosity is all too evident even as Alhaitham crosses the room to him, his head tilting up into that kiss, contented sigh on his lips. ]
Mm, I have been. I even made dinner. It's in the warmer.
There's a supposed lost city of scholars in the Summer segment. I'm curious about it, but I want to complete my research first.
[Because of course he does - Alhaitham is ever nothing but thorough in his academic pursuits. He smiles a little, looking down at Kaveh with faint but evident fondness.]
I brought something you might like to try.
[And maybe Kaveh won't notice, at first, how he's gently caged against the wall. How Alhaitham subtly leans into him. Maybe he won't notice until a knee nudges between his.]
[ Of course Kaveh is curious, but he also knows Alhaitham well enough to recognize he'll get nothing from him on the matter until he's good and readyโthat is, until his research is done.
So he smiles back, and he's prepared to elaborate on his day until his fiancรฉ mentions that he has something, making Kaveh's head tilt in curiosity. ]
[ Kaveh's eyes slide to the side as Alhaitham's arm braces against the wall, boxing him in even more than before. They linger there just a moment before lowering, realization creeping into his expressionโand into the color of his cheeksโas he notices finally the leg slid between both of his own.
He swallows hard, eyes lifting back to the other's face, impassive with secrecy. ]
[Alhaitham shifts just enough to allow Kaveh to slip away from him, if he decides to make a move.]
Unless you don't have the time.
[This is a joke, as far as jokes go - he knows damn well that Kaveh always has the time to spend in bed with him, especially when he is the one initiating it.]
[ He rolls his eyes as his arms circle Alhaitham's shoulders, leaning forward so he can bump his forehead against the other man's. It's true that he'll drop anything at a time when Alhaitham initiates, especially when it's a complete surprise like thisโwhich it usually is. ]
[Said entirely indulgently as he lowers his arm from the wall to wrap it around Kaveh's waist, guiding him away from the wall and towards their bedroom (since he seems fairly intent on lingering.
The bag he brought in with him is still swinging from his hand, brown paper and entirely nondescript.]
I will have to make sure to show the proper amount of gratitude.
[ Kaveh laughs, voice brighter than just a moment ago, but still edged with that tell-tale, playful sweetness.
(Admittedly, he hasn't even really noticed the bag, not with Alhaitham in his personal space, wrapping an arm around his waist to guide him into their bedroom.) ]
The proper amount of gratitude, huh? Does that mean you're not gonna leave me frustrated and begging this time?
[ It's definitely a taunt, because yes, Alhaitham often leaves him frustrated and begging, taking his time with him until Kaveh is a mess of trembling limbs and half-jumbled words... but yes, Kaveh likes it that way. ]
Or is this a "I'll say thank you three times" kind of deal?
[He makes a thoughtful sound, as if he's considering his answer. As if Kaveh does not already know the answer.]
At least three times.
[At least, and he expects he'll have the man utterly incoherent by the end... but he knows they both like it that way.
In the bedroom, he's quick enough to set the bag on the nightstand and nudge Kaveh to the bed, moving over him with one hand sliding beneath his thigh with a teasing squeeze. He kisses the other man warmly again, using the advantage of his position to keep him captured in that kiss until he's breathless, then he nudges their noses together.]
[ Kaveh laughs again, finally noticing the bag as Alhaitham puts it on the nightstand, both his eyes widening for a moment. His lips part, a question on them, but the other chooses that exact moment to reach between his legs and squeeze, and the only sound that comes from Kaveh's mouth is a low, shaky moan. ]
H-hey, unfairโ
[ He leans into that kiss all the same though, arms still around Alhaitham's shoulders, and there's a hint of a whimper on an exhale when he finds himself captured, not allowed to catch his breath.
By the time the younger man does part from him, he's panting, pupils blown. ]
[By now, he knows how best to treat Kaveh to get the kinds of reactions he wants. He's learned what makes his partner tick in the best kinds of ways and has no issues with using every bit of knowledge to his advantage.
He gives the man another quick kiss.]
Good boy.
[Then he's dipping into the bag, pulling out what appears to be nothing more than a length of coloured fabric. If Kaveh is paying attention, he may notice a faint shimmering sheen to it as Alhaitham lifts it out.
He has one of those almost-smiles on his face while he urges the older man's hands up and carefully secures his wrists to the headrail with a couple of passes of cloth. It would seem nothing special at all... until Kaveh got curious (or frustrated) enough to make any move against it.]
That should do it.
[Then he runs light fingertips down Kaveh's chest, unfastening a few shirt buttons on the way.]
[ Kaveh hums into the kiss, a slightly-dazed smile finding his lips when Alhaitham praises him, taken off-balance by the stolen air and words coming so quickly after one another. Still humming, he lies back, letting himself get comfortableโalthough his eyes do sharpen a little when the younger man retrieves the length of fabric from the bag, curiosity heightening his gaze.
He doesn't quite notice the sheen to it, thoughโat least not enough to assume it's anything other than a trick of the light, or the type of fabric.
When Alhaitham uges his hands up, he's obedient, his answering smile tinged with bemusementโnot that he'll ever complain about the other taking the initiative like this.. but all this for a simple strip of fabric?
It's probably not much surprise to Alhaitham that by the time his fingertips are halfway down Kaveh's chest, the older man is already, out of sheer interest, making a cursory tug at the bondsโ
Only for his eyes to widen and a little jolt to rush through him at the sudden, brief sparkle of pleasure. ]
[Alhaitham is absolutely not the kind of person you would expect to find in the kind of store that sells something like this. Kaveh can definitely be forgiven for not assuming there's anything special about the item, but to tell the truth, that was something that Alhaitham was counting on.
His fingertips pause against his partner's abdomen, trailing an idle pattern over the space between his hips as his eyebrows lift slightly.]
[ Kaveh shakes his head. It's true, Alhaitham is absolutely not the kind of person that would go anywhere selling anything like thisโto the point where, in the heat of the moment, he has already convinced himself he made a mistake. ]
It's nothing, I just thoughtโ
[ Even as he speaks, the curiosity in his mind fights back, and he gives another light tug at the fabric. The resulting spark cuts his sentence off as he yelps, and his eyes are accusatory as he looks down at Alhaitham. ]
[ Kaveh gasps when Alhaitham puts just the right amount of pressure below his groinโand then cries out when the resulting movement makes his wrists pull slightly against the fabric, making a sudden jolt of pleasure rush down his spine. ]
Iโnghโ!
[ He glares down at the other manโalthough there's no real anger in the look. ]
[ The word lacks any anger, even becoming something of a whine. He does, however, take care not to move too much as he argues. As good as it feels, the last thing he wants is to take himself to pieces before Alhaitham has even started... ]
Your enjoyment, huh? [ A weak, breathy chuckle. ] Such a pervert, stringing up your fiancรฉ like this...
[Anyone else might hear them, but Alhaitham knows better. He pulls at fabric just enough to free Kaveh's cock and wraps his hand around it, stroking from base to tip.]
But while you can still talk this much I know I have plenty of room to try harder.
[Honestly, they both know how this is going to go...]
[ And go that way it doesโimmediately. Alhaitham's fingers wrap around Kaveh's cock, half-hard already just from the teasing and the shocks of pleasure, and the older of the two starts, hands moving out of pure instinct.
The sound that follows is a sharp, shaky moan as he sinks back into the bed, the sound becoming almost a wail as he realizes how truly defeated he is. ]

I'm here. How was your day?

Of course I trust you. What is it?
no subject
He braces his free arm against the wall just to the side of Kaveh's head.]
When we get to the bedroom, I'll show you.
no subject
He swallows hard, eyes lifting back to the other's face, impassive with secrecy. ]
The bedroom, huh?

What is this?
no subject
It has an enchantment on it.
[Which he's sure Kaveh could figure out, if his brain cells weren't in the process of flying apart.]
Something I thought we might enjoy together.
no subject
An enchantment...
[ Gods. Alhaitham went to a sex store. His eyes are wide, his cheeks flushed pink. ]
If I pull against it, it... [ How does he say this? What are the words he needs? ] It makes me feel good. Right..?
no subject
Right. And...
[His hands drops to Kaveh's thigh, the tip of his thumb digging a deliberate pressure just below his groin as he squeezes it.]
I don't think you're going to have any trouble fulfilling that very simple requirement.
no subject
Iโnghโ!
[ He glares down at the other manโalthough there's no real anger in the look. ]
This.. this is your gratitude?
no subject
[Oh, this is quite satisfying already. Since Kaveh isn't in any position to stop him, he starts unfastening the blond's trousers.]
This is purely for my enjoyment.
[He did ask Kaveh to trust him. This wouldn't have been as fun if he'd known exactly what to expect.]
