Thread: This is gonna take a while (CottonCandyHaze x A Wintered Heatwave)

Adina snuggled up to the warm body present in his bed, ignoring the knocking at the door that was becoming more and more insistent. Did you order room service? He inquired sleepily to the male laying beside him, drawing a lazy pattern into the man's skin with his fingers. Mm, no. Didn't ask for a wake up call, either. Well whoever it is must really want your attention. Adina certainly wasn't going to get up to check, he was far too comfortable where he currently was. They're going to have to wait longer, he pressed a kiss to the fae's skin, drawing a laugh from the smaller male, because I'm not done with you. The knocking grew louder, almost pounding against the wood of the door. Or not, one moment. Don't take too long, Adina let his nails linger on the man's skin as he slid out of bed, sliding down his arm and shoulder. I'll try, he winked before walking to the door, picking up his pants on his way there. As much as he desired to shock whomever dared interrupt his morning, it wouldn't do any good if it was an employee. Yes? The man in front of him looked up and down quickly before pushing his way into the room, ignoring his protests. Adina, we have places to be, put your clothes on and say good bye to whoever this is. My name is Thomas and you need to leave. Asher eyed 'Thomas' with the same look one would use to observe a tiny bug as they considered flicking it before looking back to Adina. Come on, the more time we waste the longer it's going to take for us to get to the next town. Adina pouted, sitting up and forward so he could rest his chin on his hands. Do we really have to go now? I'm still tired. Asher snorted. Obviously not that tired, considering the woody that just left this guy's pants, he gestured to the man named Thomas with a jerk of his thumb. Excuse me- You're excused, in fact, get out. I will not! You need to go before- Yeah this is taking too long, he gave only a single shove to the man's chest, causing him to stumble out the door and into the hallway, said door closing as soon as his feet touched the carpet of the outside, locking with a click. Asher promptly ignored the angry pounding and shouting on the other side of the door, scowling at Adina who still had yet to move. Put your clothes on so we can go. I haven't bathed yet. You can bathe back in the room, just put your stuff back on yet. Adina gave a long sigh before finally slinking out of bed, retrieving his clothes that had been tossed to the floor the night previous. You didn't pack my things, did you? Asher gave a snort. Of course not, that's your job. Good. He loved the man but, honestly, he couldn't fold to save his life, and the last thing he wanted were unnecessary wrinkles in his clothes. There, all done. Let's leave before Thomas draws more attention to us. Upon opening the door Thomas was still there, irate as ever, and could hardly be calmed down no matter how many apologies Adina gave him. Asher didn't seem to have much patience for it, and yanked the fair male away as soon as Thomas began speaking of how Adina could 'make it up to him'. You have your apology, good bye. Asher we can't just- We're leaving Adina. And he wouldn't hear anything otherwise, just dragged his companion down the hall and to their room so the fae could bathe and they could finish their preparations for their journey. That was very rude of you, you know, words of Adina as he walked out the bathroom, nude save for the towel that he was using to dry his hair. He wasn't cooperating, what else was I going to do? Let you 'pay him back'? We could have worked something- No. All he wanted was to fck you again to spite me, and that's only going to slow us down because you'll be tired and won't want to leave. Adina admitted that he could be somewhat of a brat, - mainly because he liked to tease Asher - and that totally sounded like something he'd do, so he didn't try to deny it. Fine fine, but I still think you shouldn't have shoved him out of his own room. He was distracting you. He was not- He stopped at the look the other gave him. Okay, he was just a little bit, but he had a nice body. He paused in his speech to tug one of his shirts over his head. Not as nice as yours, of course, this earned a blush, which made Adina's smile a little brighter. Just hurry up. He was so cute when he got flustered. If they had time - which they totally did, despite what Asher said, there was literally no rush since no one was waiting on them - he'd try to get more than just that out of him, but he decided to spare the male for once. Fifteen minutes later they were checking out of the inn, deciding to grab something to eat from a passing vendor instead of staying for the breakfast the employees provided Asher's words being that if Adina had gotten a move on sooner then they could have taken their time, but he didn't mind all that much. Said chosen vendor was selling some sort of bread stuffed with meats and herbs, Asher taking particular joy in the find. Adina thought it to be tasty, though a bit heavy for something so early in the day. Still, though, it provided the nourishment they needed to begin their travel, and an additional four were purchased for the road. Check the map, we're headed East, right? Adina did as he was requested, unfolding the large paper. Mhm, the town of Norivul. Asher sighed. It's going to take forever until we reach the capital. Awh, don't say that, Adina moved beside his travelling companion, grabbing his hand and interlinking their fingers as they walked, remember what that man said, it's not the destination, it's the journey. I like going from place to place like this. The taller male made a huffing noise, but didn't try to dispute the other's words, which pleased him as it foretold a rather peaceful morning at least until someone came along and ruined that, but for now he was going to enjoy it. After a while, Adina felt Asher's fingers tighten against his hand, and he shot the man a questioning look. Wh- Shh, he hissed in a low voice, keeping his gaze straight ahead. I think we're being followed. What? By who? He whispered back in an equally quiet voice. I don't know, but they've been going in our direction for a while now, I thought they would have gone by now but it's not the case. Should we confront them? Probably, get ready. Just when he thought they'd relax today. Okay. The two came to a sudden stop, Adina being maneuvered behind Asher as he turned around, the man placing a hand at the hilt of his sword. What do you two keep following us for?
