the water must have been chill but if it were felix did not seem to notice it and watching as the other splashed he was torn between taking pictures and wanting to join. in the end his wish to capture the beauty was outweighed by his desire to be a part of it and putting away the camera he stripped out of his shirt socks and shoes before rolling up his pants and following felix into the fat swell of water

He was stilled by the splashing near the edge of the creek, and he lay in wait. Soon he dipped below the surface and came up under Zosa and lifted him out of the water and into his arms. He buried his head into Zosas neck sucking tightly on the nape. He pulled back only for a breath and to say "Tiger attack"

felix was not subtle or silent and stood out like a new penny in the dirt but he pretended not to notice the ambush and laughed happily as he was lifted and nearly toppled by his rambunctious husband, "aak! a tiger!"

He made a mocking roar before, nibbling on Zosa. He swung Zosa around before dipping below the surface so that only their heads remained. The professor tried to swim with Zosa in his arms but soon the fingers found other more interesting places to touch. "I have found some pretty fish and fauna if you want to see." He said stealing a quick bite on the dark shoulder.

he was not certain if the offer was legitimate or not but it did not matter and as the teeth softly grazed his skin he offered a low affirmation

The professor led Zosa to a spot near the center of the creek, though the flowing waters some what distorted it, he told the other to look. Intertwined in the twlight colored water, there were green rocks along with tiny schools of fish. Twisting he gave Zosa a kiss before taking a deep breath and disappearing below.

the offer ended up being legitimate and as he watched the other push his face into the water to get a better view his smile grew. deciding then and there he would get felix some fish when they got back to greece he crouched down to look closer

In the end he and Zosa returned back to the house soaked and slightly muddy from the swim. The moon was peaking over the the tops of the trees. The professor stipped on the door mat, finding a place outside to let his clothes dry. Once inside he put on his apron and started to clean the small area that was made into the kitchen while Zosa fiddled with his images. It was only when things were in enough order that the professor cut a piece of wedding cake with some ice cream for the both of them. He curled up close to Zosa on the bed and looked at the images on the laptop. Smiling he offered a spoon full.

half of the pictures were garbage but there were still several really beautiful ones like felix rolling up his pantsleg looking like a nymph and one of a small frog swimming through clear rippling water. he took the bites gratefully as they decided which to send to friends and family

It was time he added his own pictures. The little point and shoot did not take as elegant of images as Zosas but they were still amusing. He picked one out of Zosa in the twilight and asked if that one should be sent to Aunt and uncle, the rest he decided he would just start a journal of his adventures on earth and put it in there.

he nodded. it seemed a little too intimate but the joyous look on felix's face made it impossible to suggest another and it was added to the collection of images to send over

He watched Zosa continue to study the screen and finished with his desert he slipped from the bed. Idly the professor wondered over to the unopened boxes and found the kit he had ordered. While the other was not paying attention, he mixed up the dark henna pasta before returning to the bed and sitting down in front of Zosa where he could not see. Delicately he started to paint a design on the dark feet.

at first he thought felix was teasing him by tickling his feet and lightly he pulled away though the look on felix's face and the bowl in his hand suggested otherwise. he stared in suspicion, "what are you doing felix?"

"Its a surprise." He answered only to get a hmm and a stare before the computer typing begin again. Each time he applied a new coat of design the boy sought to ruin it by squirming. In the end against the giggles he held the foot firm all the way until it reached Zosas upper calf. Then he wrapped the leg in a gauze so it could dry. He did the same with the other and told the man not to move for at least an hour.

it was difficult to manage but he did his best until the other stopped the tickling and started wrapping him up, once done he was allowed to look though there was little to see other than browntipped fingers on felix and gauze on his own feet though the look the other had made him close the laptop, it seemed however fexil was not done for as soon as he did he was told to close his eyes and lay back. doing so he felt the soft corner of the blanket cover the top part of his face and his shirt get tugged up, not understanding what felix intended but trusting the man completely he did not say anything even when he felt the tickling cold smooth a line over his belly


(by the time felix is done he will be giggly and at stance XD)

It was hard to finish the design on the mans belly with Zosa giggling like a child and wiggling, but once he was done and had wrapped the stomach in the same light gauze as the legs it was worth it. "You know, if earthlings celebrate all hallows eve, you would make a beautiful mummy." He smoothed his hand over the cloth. "Or we can play anthropologist and living dead." He grinned laying beside Zosa. His dark finger tips nearly matched Zosa's he realized as his fingers curled around Zosa's both their rings shinging under the false light.

"you are so strange sometimes felix, sometimes i think you'dve rather been an actor than a scientist." feeling the hand twine with his own he tightened the grip and pulled the hand to his lips for a kiss, "i love you so very much though, i don't know what i would have done if i had not met you...."

He took the hand and pulled it to his own lips. He started to hum softly and sing. "Earth below us... drifting calmly,... floating weightless... calling calling... Zosa." He tugged Zosa close careful not to squish him. "You will have to take many pictures since I am not sure this moment will happen again." He could not help the smile on his face.

he didn't quite understand but nodded all the same and careful not to muss up the bandages or crush his half-hardened member he rolled them so that he was half on top, "so many pictures that they cannot even all be contained"

"Then for an hour, I would like you to tell me a story, a wonderful story about either a nurse and his doctor or hmmm a myth." He said feeling strange that he was on the bottom of their pile.

softly he smiled and rested on top of the other, "oh? it has been a while since i told you a story about the nurse, i am not sure i remember anything about them, remind me?"

"I do not recall myself" He said letting one of his arms loosely hang off Zosa. "It was something about a cure."

the smile spread farther and rolling them both over so felix was mostly on top again he started, "yes, i remember that, the nurse was helping the professor find a cure for broken-heart and ended up contracting it himself, if i remember correctly it turned out they found the cure in each other but it was a flawed medicine for it only worked if it was continuously taken, this meant that any time the two were apart the symptoms returned two-fold and for each other. it was a malady of a most insidious nature so the nurse, being practical decided that the most reasonable thing for them to do is be together forever so they would not have to suffer. the professor however was not sure, he had tried this cure before and it was how he got sick to begin with, the nurse pushed though in his own way and eventually the professor agreed that they would try just that and so they did..... that is as much of the story as i have felix, we have to wait for the next installment though i have an idea of how it will turn out." sweetly he kissed the top of the copper head, "and it will be good"

He was not sure what to say though there was a smile deeply embeded on his lips. "Well a proper story ends with they lived happily ever after, and then there is a sequel about their adventures happily ever after. " Twisting he looked upwards and stroked the mans stomach, "Do your legs feel like they have dried mud on them?"

"and they lived happily ever after..." softly h found a curl of red to twine his fingers around, "no, should i? it just feels a little bit itchy, what did you do?"

"Zosa it is a surprise and while we wait I will tell you a story." The professor smoothed his hand across Zosa's stomach which was becoming a nice little habit. "Once upon a time there was a rich man that had everything so he sent out a challenge to pay whom ever could feed him the best cooked meal. Thousands of men and women brought him delicious dishes though none of them deemed worthy of his sum. At last he met a poor man, that told the man he would cook him the best meal but it must be in a few days and the man was not allowed to eat anything.... Agreeing the man went days and nights with out food, the poor man returned with nothing more then a simple bowl of rice and yet it was the best food the rich man had ever eatten. "

it was not what he had expected as far as being a 'story' but it was a good moral fable and certainly fit the professor's style. taking a kiss he smiled at the other, "are you trying to say something or is that just a story?"

The professor reached up and found his glasses. Taking them off he shook his head. "If I were going for a story that said something it would go a little like this. ... In the future Humans have found a way to substain life on Mars. Colonies have been created and Their leader the imfamouse Garagin stumbled across a strange Martian....He was tall and had green patches on stragtic places on his skin." He rolled over until he was looking down at Zosa. "There was only one way the Martian could accept peace, and Mr. Garagin sacrificed himself." With that he swooped down and kissed the bouncing nape.

a surprised chuckle left him and twisting he caught the other with one leg, "you naughty man, that isn't a story at all! rest assured i am a man, we never surrender and we never come in peace~" giggling again he nipped another kiss, we must go to war"

"Ah so humans play dirty." He said wiggling under Zosa. He twisted this time he lips met Zosas. "If its a war you want its a war you will get." He dipped in close careful not to squish the mans stomach. "The martian was quite observant." He added quickly before finding a hand and licking it.

the giggles became louder and less voluntary as felix tickled his hand most cruelly. squirming where he lay he tried to pull his hand away though felix was too strong and he was not spared until the fingers became lips and he was given an electrical kiss. it sent a shiver down his spine and elicited the man's name on his lips

It was enough to make his lover squirm and hear the soft lips utter his name. It seemed once the man exhausted himself through a loving sigh and a quiver, The professor lay atop his stomach. His fingers twirled in the gauze and started to unveil the forms below to the man.

he was not allowed to watch and like before was expected to stay perfectly still though once the wrappings were off and his legs rubbed down he was allowed to look. it made him both uncomfortable and very excited to see the squiggled all down his legs and across his belly and with his eyes still looking over the marks he spoke, "how long will they last?"

He ran his fingers over the smooth designs. "A couple of days to a few weeks give or take how much water we play in." He said. "I can always make them perminate but I do not think you favor such a thing. The kit comes with two batches so at another time we could possibly do it " He went to go retrieve a mirror and let the other fully see. "Do you like it?"

he sat up properly as the other fetched a mirror and letting felix crawl back onto the bed he put his legs over the pale thighs and wiggled his toes, "i look like you... can we draw on you next? i would rally like it is we matched though i am sure if auntie sees we are both goners"

He laughed and went to retrieve the bowl of goop. Handing the brush to Zosa he stripped before laying on his back across the bed. "Zosa, I love your aunt, I am sure you love her more. But we are married adults and if I want to have sex in the orchard with my beautifully designed husband I will bite the bullet and take your aunts judgement of me as a bastard who has ruined her beloved... besides I was hoping we would have our own home so that the only time they saw us would be with our clothes on." Amused by the thought of an angry uncle he closed his eyes.

felix had a point though it would sound too much like encouragement if he said so and so keeping his mouth shut he started applying the pigment to the other

The feeling was different sober. It made him squirm to have the wet stuff plastered over his stomach and laugh especially as Zosa paid attention to his sensitive areas. "Make sure you wrap the areas that you use the paint."

(Once Zosa gets to the legs he will nap)

nodding he kept applying the stuff and eventually the other fell asleep. it went faster then and when he was done he wrapped up the thin legs in more of the gauze before covering the other with the quilt and going to the small utilitarian sink to was out the bowl and brush

(while yours sleeps mine will unpack some stuff, he found one of the costumes they brought from luna)

When he woke again it was too the soft sound of shuffling, and he nearly rolled over until he realized a lot of his lower body was covered in gauze. He pushed himself up to see what Zosa was doing only to find a lot of garments on the small walkway.
