@CalicHux >have something nice to wear?” Even as he spoke the words, he prepared himself for the certain ridicule he would receive for daring to hint otherwise.
@CalicHux Kylo grinned, his mind already conjuring images of how the evening would go. He reached out and gently traced his husband’s hairline with his fingertips, careful not to mess up his carefully coiffed hair.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve attended something like this. Do you >
@CalicHux Behind closed doors, Kylo let his facade fall. He gave Calic a lopsided grin and a subtle shrug of his shoulders. “I received word of a ball being held on Naboo and we’ve been invited to attend. I thought it would be a nice opportunity for us to take a little time away. Together”
@CalicHux Well I was...
Never mind that. It is good that I’ve found you. I have something urgent to discuss with you. Come in.
*tugs Calic into the room from which he’d just slid*
@CalicHux “Oh, I’d say that’s one problem easily solved. Wouldn’t you agree?” Sliding languidly from his perch on the table, Kylo rounds the chair to stand behind his husband. Placing his large hands on Calic’s shoulders, he begins slowly kneading. “Join me in our quarters?” he whispers.
@CalicHux “Is that so? Well, it’s a good thing we’ve found each other, then.”
He steps around the table and perches on the edge beside where Calic’s hands are folded on the tabletop. Reaching out, he brushes a stray wisp of hair from Calic’s face.
“Let’s see…where shall we begin?”
@CalicHux *Grins broadly*
I was hoping you’d say that. Then, yes. I would be most appreciative of your...assistance. Who knows? I may be able to help you in return.
@CalicHux Kylo opened his eyes to look into Calic’s. He lifted one hand to lightly run his fingertips down his husband’s cheek before speaking softly.
“It’s more of a feeling than a thought, really. I just felt suddenly… empty. As though all the air had left my lungs. I missed you…”
@CalicHux Kylo’s eyes slip closed and he lets out a contented sigh as his body relaxes into Calic’s, lulled by the steady beat of his heart and the gentle touch of his fingers.
@CalicHux Kylo made a noncommittal gesture, but leaned into his husband.
“Not sure, Ghealach. I just... needed to be near you. Don’t let me disturb you.” As he said this, he rested his head on Calic’s chest, like a large dog begging to be petted.
