[ It's been a long day of training, but he does have a few weapons, seals and talismans to his person now. He can't say if he's going to actually use them, but sometimes it's better to have and not need than to need them and not have them about.

He's in the middle of closing up City of Rain for the night, yawning. Everything's coming to ahead and he can't really do anything about the stress of it all. ]

[potensum]

So do I.

But I still prefer yours, by the way.

[perfectdistance]

Glad you won't starve, at least.

[ He's blushing just a little, taking another drink. It's... Pleasant. It feels like he's letting go of a little bit of tension in his body. ]

[potensum]

[ he sees that blush!! but he assumes it's just because of the compliment. ]

I'd never starve with you around. You're crazy good at cooking!

[perfectdistance]

That's what happens when you do something for your whole life.

[ Heh. ]

I still wish you'd eat your vegetables without whining so much.

[potensum]

[ time to change the subject! ]

Did you know Owen is here? Has he bothered you?

[perfectdistance]

Wow.

[ He really hates the idea of vegetables this much? Idiot. ]

Yeah, he's in Tamamo too. I don't see him that often. [ And he'd love to keep it that way. ]

[potensum]

[ he snorts. owen is in the whore faction lmaooo serves him right. although wait nero's there too. augh. ]

Good. Do you know if is Oz here? Mithra? ...Figaro?

[ the last one he says with a shudder. ]

[perfectdistance]

No. Haven't seen any of 'em. Shylock, Murr, Owen, and Cain are around.

[ His body feels a little bit warm? Is that a side effect of stress relief? ]

[potensum]

Ah, yeah. I knew about those three.

[ that's all he'll say about that.

sips............ then looks at him from the corner of his eye. ]

...You okay?

[perfectdistance]

I'm...

[ Can he actually say he's fine if he's not sure if he's fine?

He nudges his foot against Brad's, looking for whatever bit of contact he can get. ]

[potensum]

…?

[ he reaches for nero's forehead, touching it with his palm. ]

Did you overwork yourself?

[perfectdistance]

[Immediately, he leans into the touch. Warm, but not exactly feverish.]

Don't think so.

[Most of what he did was with talismans, and not the power of his own magic.]

[potensum]

You gotta take it easy.

[ he pulls his hand back, pushing his drink towards him slightly. ]

Drink the rest. Maybe it'll help.

[perfectdistance]

[If Nero was a braver person than he is, he'd ask for Bradley to keep his hands on him.

He takes the glass in his hands and keeps drinking.]

Your faction doing anything? [Is Bradley even going to training days?]

[potensum]

[ he doesn't go unless his children are going… ]

We had to train some rookies. I had to check if some kids I met were doin' okay, too.

[ . . . . . ]

You don't look so good.

[ but he also doesn't exactly look sick… he's seen this face before but not… in this context. ]

[perfectdistance]

Mm. Yeah? How are the kids?

[Trying to keep his focus on anything else right now... but it's hard when Bradley is right there.]

[potensum]

[ he starts to suspect something might be wrong, and that it might… be because of the drink. so he takes nero's glass and sips it.

he… doesn't feel any different (on account of always being on the verge of horniness, but also because he didn't take that much), so he… sets it back down. hm. ]

…Nero. Do you feel sick?

[ …poisoned? ]

[perfectdistance]

[Sick? No. This doesn't feel like being sick. He knows what this feeling is, but putting a name to it feels like admitting something is wrong.]

No.

[Instead he's very intently staring at Bradley's mouth, thinking about all the ways he's felt Bradley over his body.]

[potensum]

[ ah, okay, now he recognizes that look.

he reaches for his chin, tilting it up and leaning closer. ]

…What are you thinking of?

[perfectdistance]

[The last time they spent a night together. The way Bradley looked above him, the feeling of belonging, the warm press of their bodies against each other.

He bites on his lower lip, not that the feeling does anything but heighten how much he wants Bradley to bite him all over.]

Mm... We should... get a room.

[Not exactly the answer to the question.]

[potensum]

[ bradley raises an eyebrow at that. he knew that was what nero was thinking of, but it's something else to see him be so bold - especially when bradley’s usually the one that has to coax him into it for awhile before nero caves.

unfortunately, he's still just a bradley, and he can't help but smirk as he leans in and speaks low into his ear. ]

What? Already? Didn't we just get here?

[perfectdistance]

[He speaks quietly, just loud enough that Bradley can hear him. He might be horny, but he's still embarrassed. A grab at his shirt, keeping him close.]

Take care of me.

[This is Bradley's fault, even if he didn't know what the actual effects of the potion were.]

[potensum]

[ this is actually great???? he has no clue about to the potion so he's going to assume he makes nero just as horny simply by existing in his vicinity, exactly as nero does to him.

also, “take care of me”????? bradley knows what he meant but also it feels really good to hear that… ]

Hah. Of course I will.

[ he stands up, and picks nero up bridal style. nero gets no say on this. he’ll walk them both to one of the back rooms available as soon as possible, picking whichever is closest. ]

[perfectdistance]

[If he was in his right mind, he would absolutely be complaining about every single moment of this. Brad picking him up in front of a room of strangers? The blatant nature of just walking straight into a back room without a care of who sees them? He can walk on his own! This is too much for his introverted self to deal with.

Things are different now, clinging onto Brad, heart thumping away in his chest, feeling his whole body heat up in anticipation of what comes next.]

[potensum]

[ he’ll place him over the bed, walking back to close the door before returning, already undoing his tie. ]

Guess this is as good a stress relief as anything else, huh?

[ ah, he can't take his eyes off nero. he's so cute when he's blushing… ]
