Work Text:
Wise is tired, but that was normal.
He sits on the bed within his room in the temple. It's nice, it's homey, but it isn't exactly like his well thought out, intricately designed bedroom above Random Play.
He misses sixth street.
He misses the air conditioner.
Even out of uniform he feels like he's dying. With only shorts and a tank top, the air sticks to his skin. The fan across the room does close to nothing to spare him from the heat. There's a thunk from the sliding doors closing and a tiny shuffle of steps before a fluffy mess of hair and sunglasses come into his view.
"Got you water." Lighter speaks up as he slides around the room divider, glass in both hands.
Wise takes the one being held towards him, swallowing down most of the liquid before settling it on the bedside table. He watches Lighter take a sip of his own before placing it next to his.
"How are you wearing a jacket right now?" Wise questions and the other man shrugs.
Lighter zips the iconic leather open, grinning as he turns to his boyfriend. The proxy gasps as he sees the glisten of sweat over his bare chest, the occasional drop sliding down between his pecs. Wise can't stop the blush that blooms on his face, willing to excuse that he was already red from the heat, but he knows Lighter's smarter than that.
"You didn't." Wise's voice slightly wavers.
"It's not like they noticed." The Champion hums, "Belle might've, but her and tiger girl went out for ice cream."
"Senior Fufu?"
"That's the one."
The jacket slides off his shoulders and the fully exposed skin makes Wise's cheeks burn a deeper red. The biker drops the leather at the corner of the room and walks towards the bed, stopping right at the edge of the mattress. The grey haired man contemplates for a moment before he shuffles down to meet him halfway. Crossing his legs and staring intently, he watches Lighter from underneath him.
Rough hands smooth over Wise's hair, the smaller huffs in confusion as Lighter stays standing. Wordlessly, with no change in expression, Lighter nods to the other. A tiny gesture towards his body.
'An open invite', Wise realises, he feels his throat tighten.
Soft hands touch the much tanner skin. Carefully, he proceeds to slide his hands around the others abs, focusing on his motions and the body in front of him, making his way to his sides. He keeps his breathing low, throat too constricted from the heat. Chest heavy from the understanding that the man in front of him was here, was his. A featherlight grasp on Lighters hips and Wise delights in watching the others chest pause as it rises.
"You like feeling me up don't you proxy?" Lighter's silky smooth voice stops Wise in his tracks.
"Y-you!" Wise stutters in disbelief and sighs when Lighter huffs out a laugh. He presses a kiss to his stomach and smiles to himself when he hears the other's breath hitch. "You know my name Lighter, say it."
"Sorry Love, you make me a little crazy s'all." Lighter's hand presses onto his cheek.
"Lighter." Wise mumbles, unimpressed. The biker laughs before he leans down, pressing a kiss onto the others forehead.
"Yes Wise, anything for you Wise."
Wise snorts, "Alright, too much".
He pulls at the others arms and Lighter gasps before they both go tumbling onto the bed. The proxy laughs as Lighter quickly pushes himself upward to make sure he wasn't crushing his boyfriend.
"You're playing a dangerous game here." The affectionate warning make them both smile.
"What? You don't know about my fantasy of being crushed under you?" Lighter splutters at the admission, Wise simply laughs, "I'm kidding, but also not really, c'mere."
Wise slides his body upwards towards the end of the bed. Head almost at the pillow, he angles himself to look at his boyfriend with the most puppy eyes he could muster. The proxy opens his arms out wide, the gesture not lost on Lighter.
Lighter crawls towards him and lays his head on the other's chest. "And I'm not supposed to unpack the 'not really?'"
"Nope," Wise pops the P as he motions the other to come even closer, "Later. It's too hot, I just want to cuddle."
Wise groans as Lighter gets up instead. He watches as the other man unbuttons his pants and shucks them off to the side. The minor tent in his brief's doesn't go unnoticed.
"Sorry, are you-?" Wise starts, "Do you want me to?"
"Nah I'm good," Lighter waves him off as he pulls his sunglasses from his face, placing it on the bedside table, "just like feeling you touching me, which includes the non sexual way obviously."
"Dunno, you asking me to feel you up was kinda sexual." Wise states matter of factly while Lighter lays himself right next to him.
"Yeah which caused the, but- I mean. Duh." Lighter stutters and Wise snorts in response, "We need to stop this conversation, it's too hot."
Wise laughs because it's hard to take him seriously, especially with knowing how hot the outer ring gets. The excuse doesn't go over his head but he nods and leans into the other man. He sighs contently as Lighters arms envelop him. It was too hot, and he still feels sticky but it's nice.
"Let me know if I need to move yeah?" Lighter asks.
Wise makes a noise of confirmation before he turns his body over, making sure half of it was on Lighters own. The biker laughs before he eases Wise's head into the crook of his neck.
"Push me off." Wise mumbles, consciousness already slipping, "When the, you know."
Lighter chuckles. "I know."
Wise is less tired but he's still warm.
Wait.
His eyes blink open. The room is pitch black, save for a tiny spot of light at the corner of his eye. He mumbles in confusion before he feels a hand scratch at his scalp, sighing in comfort at the touch.
"Mornin." Lighter greets him, placing his phone back down underneath the pillow.
Wise turns towards his boyfriend with a soft smile.
"Is it?" He asks and Lighter snorts.
"Nah." He grins before kissing the others forehead.
It's Night then. Wise pushes himself upwards groaning in disdain as the blanket on top of them slides away. The cool air hits him. With an immediate shiver down his spine he's quick to lay back down by Lighter's side, tugging the blanket above the both of them.
The bigger man shuffles, turning towards Wise. Lopsided grin obvious even in the dark.
"When'd you wake up?"
"When it started getting cold." Lighter informs him as he pats the cover on top of Wise, "Pulled the blanket over the both of us."
"While I was on top of you?" Wise asks with an eyebrow raised. "You could've told me to move."
"Didn't want to." Lighter hums, "I too have fantasies about being crushed underneath you."
Wise snorts.
"Don't believe me?" A hand slides to Wise's hair, fingers twirling a strand.
"Pretty sure your body mass is more than mine, I'd never physically be able to crush you."
"It's called a fantasy for a reason."
"Sure."
Wise's eyes watch as the hand that was playing with his hair slides underneath the covers. Lighter shuffles slightly forward as the touch lands onto the small of his back. They both grin to each other and Wise leans his forehead onto the other's chest.
"Do you guys just nap all day here?" Lighter asks and Wise huffs in response.
"No, we're actually pretty busy." What with training and helping the population of Failume Heights, " I think they're just letting me spend time with you"
"Good." Lighter mumbles, the smaller can hear a breath of hesitation. It causes Wise to look up, meeting the green and red of his eyes. Noticing a quiet inquiry and urges the other to continue with a nod.
"I missed you." The admission is soft, it leaves the proxy slightly breathless.
"Me too."
Lighter seemingly struggles to say anything else, he pauses for a moment before he continues.
"I only got a few days left." 'Before he has to go home' Wise understands. He momentarily wonders if he could selfishly take Lighter away from the Son's of Calydon, ask if he could stay with them instead. But he'd never do that to his friends, to Lighter's family.
A journey of expressions flash through Wise's face and Lighter watches, waiting for what the other was going to say.
"I… don't want to think about it" He simply responds.
The Champion sighs, unsure of what to make out of that.
"I'll always be here if you need me, but you'll take care of yourselves yeah?" Lighter pushes Wise onto his back, elbow by his head, body hovering over him as he pulls his shirt upward with his other hand, careful to keep them both under their cover. "I mean, all that training… It looks good on you."
The two of them fall silent as Lighter's hands roam over the proxy's chest. He watches as the pale skin noticeably flushes red even in the dark. How Wise squirms under his touch, how his hand, now hidden by the tank top, presses into the skin he couldn't quite see.
"I love you." Lighter whispers as he leans closer to Wise.
It causes the others heart to stutter. Chest heaving as Lighter's breath also becomes shallow. Wise watches Lighter's gaze never falter, a quiet ask of permission, of need. The grey hair tugs the other man towards him, pressing his lips against his own.
Lighter adjusts their position, both elbows by Wise's side. He moans into the others mouth as he feels Wise hook his legs behind him. Lighter inches even closer, making sure to cocoon the other beneath him as they continued. The proxy gestures for Lighter to stop and the other obliges, momentarily moving towards his neck, nibbling at the skin.
"I love you too." Wise breathes out and Lighter huffs with a smile. Wise pulls Lighter's lips onto his once again.
The sudden bang of the sliding doors make them both jump. Lighter almost falling forward at the sudden intrusion as the lights click on.
"Who-" Wise hisses.
"WAKE UP YOU TWO ITS DINNER TIME" Belle screams at the top of her lungs. "STOP MAKING OUT!"
"BELLE." Wise yells back.
Lighter stops himself from laughing as Wise struggles to move from underneath him.
"Don't even!" He tries to push the taller off. "Lighter move-"
Belle curves around the partition and lets out the most disgusted noise Lighter's ever heard from her, "EWWWW YOU TWO REALLY ARE MAKING OUT."
"Can you stop YELLING." Wise screams back, "Lighter get off of me already!"
Lighter responds with a tiny 'eyup' before he flops over to the other side of the bed. He can't help but laugh as he watches Wise shove himself off of the mattress, meeting his baby sister at the edge of the room with the most pissed off look he's ever seen.
"Have you ever heard of PRIVACY." Wise bites and Belle simply barks back.
"Duh! But have you ever heard of taking a break from your boyfriend?"
"I haven't seen my boyfriend in months you don't get to say that!" Wise moves his arms with pure exhausted rage, "What if this was you and-!"
Belle gasps, "How dare you!"
There are screams of 'at least I'm not indecent" and 'that's priceless' from the two and many more. Lighter simply watches the scene before him with an amused smile. He hums as he picks up his sunglasses and puts them on. Adjusting himself back onto the pillows as he waits for the siblings to calm down.
With the cool air of the outside spilling into the room, Lighter absentmindedly wonders if they would need an extra set of blankets or even a heater. Then he sees his boyfriend motion to focus on him, his hand, while still arguing with Belle, pinches the skin right in the middle of his lower back. The heat from earlier spikes back up and Lighter grins, understanding that there was more to come.
