For Sinric

[hot_water]

[OOC: From here.]

Tahno's rooms are gigantic. They're more a collection of suites, an apartment decked out in deep purple and black, with white and silver accents. He selected dark wood furniture with clean lines, with no slats or wicker to catch on clothes or skin.

He leads Sinric through the common room with its own bar to the bedroom with a stone, gas-operated fireplace and a sumptuous bed wreathed in black silk. "Make yerself comfortable," Tahno drawls, letting go of Sinric's hand.

Comments

[hot_water]

Tahno smiles at the kiss. He squeezes Sinric's shoulders before dragging his thumbs down the muscles around the spine, gradually increasing pressure as he goes. "Thank you," he drawls, "for letting me pamper ya."

[thewidewideworld]

"It is not often anyone is willing the pamper me so." He reaches back to stroke Tahno's knee.

[hot_water]

"That's a damn shame," Tahno drawls, furrowing his brow. He starts out on the neck, moving inward with circular motions until his fingers on both hands are touching. "I'll just have to pamper ya extra to make up for it."

[thewidewideworld]

Sinric answers with a low, soft moan, rendered speechless by the comfort of it.

[hot_water]

That moan brings a smile to Tahno's face. He closes his fingers and holds out his thumbs in a lobster claw shape, applying pressure in a twisting, lifting motion. The waterbender alternates hands in a windshield wiper movement.

[thewidewideworld]

There will be more of those happy little noises as Tahno soothes away quite a number of kinks and knots that have built up over time.

[hot_water]

Tahno grins, positioning his thumbs at the top of Sinric's back, just below the neck and on either side of the spine. The waterbender extends his thumbs to use a fanning motion, pushing gently down toward the lower back with his pressure angled at Sinric's feet. Then Tahno alternates pressure on either thumb, moving from the top of the back down to the androgyne's hips.

"How's the pressure?" the waterbender murmurs.

[thewidewideworld]

"Feels wonderful." He slurs softly. "Don't worry if I bruise. I bruise far too easily."

[hot_water]

"I'll try to be careful," Tahno drawls, raising his brows. He reaches for the hip farthest from him, while the other hand rests on the near hip. The waterbender pulls one hand towards himself as the other hand pushes away, sliding against each other in the middle, in opposite directions.

[thewidewideworld]

"You don't have to worry. I heal."

He purrs softly. "You can... Oh, straddle me, if it will help?"

[hot_water]

"Really? Awright," Tahno drawls, and draws the blanket up over Sinric's hips before climbing on to the bed. Now that the waterbender is straddling him, he's able to maintain much more pressure with his fingers, which he moves in a circular motion. "Thanks. This really does help a lot."

[thewidewideworld]

Even through the blankets, the weight of Tahno over him is... warming. His cheeks flushing softly as he sighs. His skin reddens under Tahno's touch but becomes pale again after a few moments.

[hot_water]

Tahno bears down on his back with his palms, massaging towards the heart to improve blood circulation. He gently brushes Sinric's beautiful, golden hair aside.

[thewidewideworld]

Sinric hums and reaches up to gather his hair over his shoulder, tucking it out of Tahno's way.

[hot_water]

"Thanks," Tahno drawls, dragging his knuckles along Sinric's spine. "You've got gorgeous hair. I'm almost envious."

[thewidewideworld]

"Thank you. It was a brighter shade of gold once." He says, almost mournfully. "Yours is a beautiful shade."

[hot_water]

"Really? I would have liked to have seen that," Tahno drawls, digging his thumbs into Sinric's shoulders with sweeping strokes. "And thanks. I like takin' care of my hair."

[thewidewideworld]

"Perhaps one day I can wash it for you. It always feels wonderful having someone else wash your hair for you."

[hot_water]

"Oh, totally," Tahno drawls, working the remaining oil into Sinric's shoulders. "I've got a pretty nice shower here if you're interested."

[thewidewideworld]

"I... I think I'd like that." He hesitants. "If you will permit?"

[hot_water]

"'Course," Tahno drawls, teasing out a stubborn knot. "I wouldn't have mentioned if I weren't okay with it."

[thewidewideworld]

Sinric groans softly, eyes closed as Tahno works out the knot.

[hot_water]

And work on it he does, until he's satisfied that it won't bother the androgyne anymore. "Do ya do any heavy liftin'? Yer were super tense when I first started workin' on ya."

[thewidewideworld]

Sinric chuckles softly. "Do I look to be one who lifts great weights. No, I feel I've held myself very tense for a long time."

Holding himself off the wounds across his rear while they were healing has somewhat caused his back and hips to go askew and have never been set right. Even after years.

[hot_water]

"That's understandable; you've probably got a lot on yer mind all the time," Tahno drawls, nodding thoughtfully. He rests both thumbs on Sinric's upper back before slowly sliding them down, with constant pressure. The waterbender lingers near the hips before beginning another stroke.
