Two couples walking... (Saturday, evening)

[Cres]

[[cont. from the beach - fastforward until they are on Queen Street, walking toward Ace's place. I'm assuming they took St. Clair Street to get there, so you'll know where they approximately are.]]

Chip dared not be so open with his affection to Ace when they had got to the city again. He did walk with his hand loosely around Ace's shoulders, though - for an Italian especially, bodily contact between men was not particularly problematic, so long as there was no cuddling - and had regained his good mood during the boat trip. Dan was behaving well now - well, for the time being, anyway - and was too concentrated on his girl to appear like anything was wrong.

Dan, for his part, had his arm round Bp's waist as they walked, and though he took care not to look at Ace and Chip very often, he was not as uncomfortable as he had been before. He had decided not to spoil Chip's evening further by starting to question him that night. They could meet later to talk about it. And Dan himself felt like he needed some relaxation at the moment.

"We're nearly there, aren't we?" Chip noted, seeing Ace's building some ways ahead. They weren't quite there yet, but it would not be long until they got there.

[[just in case we want to have some interaction before they split up. ]]

*Yay! Thanks for starting them:)*


Ace was feeling quite content now, after the drive back to the mainland. He did love being out on the water, flying across the waves with the wind whipping his hair around, and having Chip pressed against him for the duration of the ride had certainly only increased his enjoyment of it. Once they'd reached the dock he'd secured the boat and there had been a comfortable air between the couples as they'd walked up from the waterfront into the city. He loved walking around the city in the evening, when it was getting dark out. It was an interesting place to be and he enjoyed every moment he could be out. He was surprised that Chip still kept his arm around his shoulders, a smile tugging at his lips as they walked.

Seeing his building come into view, Ace looked at Chip and nodded his head. "Yes indeed, home is just up the road." He glanced beside him at Dan and BP, a playful grin on his face. "I'd love to invite the two of you up to join us in my jacuzzi, but perhaps that will have to wait for another time." He just wanted to be alone with Chip right now, the next few minutes he'd have to spend not plastered to his boyfriend were going to be fairly torturous he was certain.

[[no prob. ]]

Chip had to grin when Ace mentioned not inviting the others to join them in the jacuzzi.

"Oh I don't think Dan'd take you up on that anyway, Ace," he said, looking at Dan with a mischievous smile. "He wouldn't be caught dead with me in the same tub for the life of him. You wouldn't believe the trouble I went through just to get him to take a dip in the lake back at the boarding school with me."

"Shut it," Dan said, though his tone was playful and there was a small smile on his lips. "I just took a dip with you in the ocean. Isn't that enough?"

"Sí, that's what it takes. An ocean, before you'll get into water with another guy, and mind you you had your clothes on," Chip retorted with a wide grin.

Dan laughed and shook his head, but had no retort to offer. Chip glanced at Ace and Bp and smiled.

"Don't mind us," he said playfully. "I can't pass a chance to jab my friend here for his gay phobia."

"I don't have a gay phobia," Dan defended himself right away, snorting. "I just don't like being naked with other guys unless it's in the locker room."

Chip laughed and shook his head. He wasn't especially serious with his accusations of Dan having a gay phobia. Dan may have felt himself uncomfortable with what he didn't understand, but Chip knew that deep down Dan must have been fairly all right with it all. Otherwise their friendship would never have lasted.

[Dude, should I even bother having Bp reply to anyone? lol]

Bp smirked as everyone conversed. For once in her life she was content to just keep her mouth shut and enjoy the moment. Ace and Chip seemed to be doing a lot better... and she was happy for them. They were adorable together. Just like Teddy and..... Sweetheart...

Pushing the thought from her mind, she looked up at Dan and nudged him lightly. There wasn't anything she had to say... she just wanted to throw a smile his way. The mad was really growing on her.

[Cres]

Dan smiled back to Bp when she nudged him and smiled. He held her tighter and started thinking ahead to the nice night they were going to have. He hoped Bp would stay overnight.

Luckily he didn't come to think of another couple which were alone in their apartment at the moment and that Teddy might have been wishing the same thing about Sweetheart at that very moment.

"Well, guys," he said to Chip and Ace, "I guess we'll get off each other's hair right about here, eh?"

[[might as well play it to the end, the little there is, I guess. *shrug*]]

[Sharise]

Truth be told, Bp hadn't even thought of spending the night. She wasn't in to that sort of thing. The only guys who had ever gotten her to stay all night were Teddy, Ace, and Lancer... and Blake. Aside from that, she pretty much brushed all of the other guys off.

Taking in a deep breath of air, Bp shivered. It was beautiful out, considering the time of year, but not for the clothing she was wearing. Short jean skirts and breezy tops weren't good in autumn.

[Kat]

Ace stopped, looking at Dan with a smile on his face. After the boat ride he didn't feel quite so uncomfortable around the bigger man anymore. He was Chip's best friend, after all. "Yeah, I suppose you guys should be heading off your way." He walked over to BP, grabbing one of her hands and squeezing it lightly. "Have a good night, you." He wanted to say that he was sorry for what had happened earlier, but didn't want to spoil the mood.

[Sharise]

Bp smiled and pulled Ace into a hug. She kissed his cheek and nodded. "You, too." It was her way of telling him that she wasn't mad... things happen.

Turning to Dan, she smirked. "So?"

[Cres]

Dan smirked back to Bp and, having noticed her being cold, took his leather jacket off and threw it round her shoulders.

"Let's go, woman," he said and wrapped his arm round her shoulders to keep the jacket there better and offer his own body-heat to warm her. "I'm hungry." He winked. "But I'll let you figure out what I'm hungry for."

Chip smiled to Dan and Bp in passing, but concentrated his attention to Ace as soon as the blond was done hugging Bp. He wrapped his arm round his boyfriend's shoulders and nudged him toward the building, not saying anything. He wanted to get in and into the jacuzzi.

[[Do we want to continue to Dan and Bp in Dan's and Chip's place or not? Either way's okay with me, but if we'll write it I think we'll probably want to skip to when they're, uh, done with "satisfying the hunger". Dan might ask her to stay the night.]]

[Sharise]

Bp purred as she snuggled up beside Dan. "I have a few things in mind.."



[Woo, short post! lol But yes, I'm fine with jumping to him asking her to spend the night.. >:}]
