By the time they reached his place, Galvin felt invigorated by his lengthy walk. The others silent trekking behind him left him alone with his thoughts. He turned once again to Ambrosia and pity flooded him. Rolling his eyes he grabbed the man by his arm and guided him into his apartment. Once inside he lead the man to his couch and pushed him down before going to his kitchen and retrieving a drink. He abandoned Ambrosia with the water in his hands to see that his dog get properly cared for.

he was grateful for the rest and the drink though he had no intention on telling the man that when he returned. as far as he was concerned not only was it pyce's fault he was tired the other was too inconsiderate to even make sure he was alright. still breathing heavily he took sparing sips of the drink and waited for pyce to return

Once his dog was happily feed and rolling around his blankets, Galvin turned his attention to his guest. He folded his arms over his chest. "If you are that tired from a little walk I guess we can call it a night here." His face held a gleam of bemusement. "You are welcome to call your driver." He on the other hand had other plans. He walked across the room to his wardrobe and began to shift through various garments.

he was angry with pyce's snarky attitude and growled his frustration. "you are an asshole. why did we come here if you are just going to weasel out of the rest of this....date?"

He scoffed "Says the man that kidnapped me and then bitched about my dog." He strolled across the room and picked up a towel from his bed. "You said either the bear or my dog. I choose my dog. You didn't have to follow me, I considered out date to be over when you made me choose." Galvin walked into the bathroom "Make sure you lock the bottom lock when you leave."

he did not hear the door close and taking advantage of it slowly hefted himself back to his feet and stripping as he went wandered in to get the rest of the night owed to him. slipping in he lost the last of his clothes and pushed through the curtain where he found his prize rinsing off the sweat and grime and grease, happily he pressed his lips to the wet neck though that was most all of what he could manage and tiredly he used the wall to help support him. "i got lost"

It was half expected the other would come. His body relaxed at the kiss and slowly he turned to face the man. Galvin wanted to kick him out but something about his tired eager face made him endearing. Draping one arm around Ambrosia's neck he pulled him under the water. The other arm went for his side. He began rubbing his soap covered cloth in small smooth circles along the pale flesh. “Stalker.” He said before returning the mans kiss.

the gentleness was unexpected as well as the sweetness of the kiss and he made an effort to break free of the touch though pyce was not taking no for an answer though as soon as the grip tightened into something more familiar he had no more need to struggle. "i am not a child, i don't need you to bathe me or to cuddle."

Galvin grinned “Even if its what I want? I will not have sex with some one who is dirty.” He dropped the rag and pulled Ambrosia close for another kiss.

the grin gave away the man's game more than the kiss, when they broke apart he had a smile of his own. "only because it is your day though," he paused, "we are never walking more than twenty feet at a time again. you may wash me galvin pyce but i will never be anything but dirty"

“Then you need another form of exercise.” He stared into the grey eyes serious for a brief moment. “I enjoy movement as much as you hate being bored.” He did not want to reach down and find the cloth. Instead with one nimble jump, Galvin managed to wrap his legs around the others slippery midsection.

his feet and legs protested the weight but the rest of him was pleased with the turn of events and swallowing the pain he turned enough to push pyce's back into the tiles. "now you are just trying to get revenge for last week"

His mind was driven blank but a sly smile hid it. "A break from the usual routine is nice." his hips glided over Ambrosia letting the other know he was ready to pay his rent.

he woke before the sun could rise and the bricks looked faded and dull in the hazy pre-dawn light but for once the drive to go take his place at his grandmother's feet with the other dogs he was forced to call his family was not there. he wanted to spend a sunday morning away from sneaky cousins and an old woman whose love dried up over the most trivial youthful mistake. frowning at the thought he twisted around so he was facing the sleeping man and shook him awake. "go back to sleep we are cuddling"

Galvin mustered a daze growl that his sleep was being disrupted. He blinked sheepishly before drifting back into a slumber.

he did not fall back asleep although he dozed until the phone went off and in a hushed tone he let the driver know not to bother picking him up until the time he would have been leaving maia's and to let his sister know today would be his day
