his father had such a strange look come over him when felix started talking to him and the man was quick to excuse himself after a cursory return. turning to felix he could only scrunch up his face and reach out

Taking the hand, a kiss and an embrace, the professor leaned in close. "We have time for breakfast before our grand adventure. Though I would need to know what you want in a picnic basket." He said loosening one of his arms to pull on his infamous apron.

now was not the time to get distracted by felix in an apron with his father still in the house but he was grateful all the same that the other was trying. offering a small smile he shrugged and pulled out of the hold entirely to find a stool, "anything you make tastes good, i will have some of that"

Nodding he turned towards his cooking once more. As he stirred he spoke. "Zosa perhaps it is because my mother is deceased but why does every one in your life treat you like a child. Not only that but they seem to disapprove or want to dictate things in your life?" Twisting he found a spatula.

watching the other cook he slumped down over the nearest bit of counter, "i am not sure, though i was still mostly a child when i left so i think it might be that the last seven years does not count, i am still 18 and a child....but then i have known others to be treated the same way up until they are married and even then not always"

He opened his mouth but stopped the words that were about to come out. His lips fell into a hard line. "I could not live like that. You will always have my respect." Turning he offered a fresh pancake to Zosa hot from the grill. "Don't they understand you have been living on your own for a while now?"

(Also I thought he was 28 by now? )

(not yet XD)

he never saw it as a respect thing and even now he could not, "i don't think they mean anything by it felix and i am not sure"

Twisting his head he set the offered food down and gently tucked his finger under the others chin lifting it up so that their eyes met. "Zosa. I understand, you will always be their little Zosa, the green eyed wonder that caused ciaos with your sister.But when I look at you I see Zosa, the man who has accomplished so much, loves to much, and as has more to offer. You will always be their child, but it is time they started to treat you like a man. It is not just your father, your uncle and your aunt. It is yourself as well." He leaned forward pressing his forehead against the boy. "In your eyes who do you want them to see?"

(By this he doesn't mean outright acting like a child he means the little actions of lack of self confidence )

the reply was already on his lips before he even had the mind to think of it and knowing it was the wrong one he kept himself from saying it and swallowing once said instead words that were just as disappointing, "i am sorry....i can't answer that felix"

He kept his head where it was. It seemed like Zosa could not answer a lot of questions lately, and his future as he knew it was crumbling into uncertainty. He had no one left to blame but himself. "Then all I can offer is an escape on the moon from time to time, when it gets over baring for us."

the mood of the room dipped and he understood he had disappointed the other though the way felix spoke meant he could still-yet had not ruined this day. offering another soft smile he found felix's hand and pulled it to his lips, "hopefully not only then professor"

(he said it in /that/ way XD but please not on the table at least get outside or behind closed doors)

His own lips turned to a smile. Reaching out he turned the stove off. "Zosa I think its best we go exercise now."

(Lets get physical! physical! I wanna get physical! let me get your body moving)

the smile turned authentic as a butterfly raced across his stomach and tightening his grip on the outstretched arm pulled the other towards the kitchen door and mindless of the mostly uncooked food exited outside with felix in hand

They only made it as far as the porch swing before his mouth was probing the others, lifting his sweat covered thighs around his body as they fell onto the futon cushion. Messaging the muscles his finger tips made roamed, climbing Zosa's sides and finding his treasured hand. Breaking the kiss he graced the index finger with a light nibble while pushing his hips forward adding pressure to Zosa's.

the unpleasantness was forgotten as he was overtaken and pushed down against the old swing-sette and a gasp left him, it quickly turned into a near-breathless moan as his fingers were stolen and taken into felix's mouth. he wrapped his legs tightly around the narrow waist

The digit disappeared under the motion of the strong suck. His other arm erased what little space their was between them as it dipped below the sweatpants, groping teasingly at the prize.

shivering under the touch he frantically worked his hands down to felix's button and did his best to give the other as good as he was getting

The sound of flesh slapping, squeaky hinges and Zosa's lovely voice filled the air. They climaxed together in pleasure and he curled up in Zosa's arms resting on the swing, listening to Zosa breathe.

there was no rest for the wicked and as felix half-dozing on his chest the realization that he just did exactly what he was asked to be discrete about and did it where anyone driving up could see left him both embarrassed and a little strange. his hands however remained where they were and he did not shift. the understanding of his lack of control was not enough for him to ruin the tender mend of this moment

He woke to hard footsteps and a shadow but mostly silence. Moving in a cat like stretch he saw Zosa's father. The man seemed to have some words on the tip of his tongue but they disappeared along with him. Twisting The professor let his lips fall on to Zosa's.

it did not take long for felix to come back from his momentary nap and by then he was cold enough that even with the warm lips pressing against him he was willing to pull them both up and readjust their pants to something more tolerable as they tried to avoid any questions or looks before they could make it back up to his room for a change into clean fresh clothes

He grinned as he put his clothes on. He felt a little like the days of his youth, doing wild things and getting caught, not really caring about the consequences of his actions. Not even Zosa's father could tame him. Twisting he captured the half dressed man in his arms and pulled him close for another kiss. He was ready for the day.

(XD Zosa should probably pull him back to earth before he decides to do something silly and reckless. )

(XD Zosa should probably pull him back to earth before he decides to do something silly and reckless. )

the giggle that left his lips was unmanly even by his own standards and he flushed as much from that as from the close intimate kiss the other gave. pressing close once more he pressed his nose against felix's "you know, you keep saying you are an old man but you never can prove it"

His lips curved into a grin. "The secrets in the special sauce" He said wrapping his arms around Zosa and lifting him into his arms. Waddling a little ways he found himself falling into the their shared bed. "Did we have plans today?"

adjusting under the man's weight so he would not be squashed he looked up, "we were going to look at that house but nothing else was really set up..... maybe we should finish cooking?"


(it is prolly cleaned up by now)

The professor eyes grew wide before they could be stopped. He was not old enough to be senile. "Are you okay?" He wondered, reflecting on the previous day. The words were clearly summed up in his mind, no marriage no house, and the boy was not one to joke.

he did not understand the motive behind the question and looking up saw confusion all over felix's face. he frowned, "....i am fine...what is wrong?"

"... Zosa I will always respect your wishes. You said we could not have a house together unless we were wed. I do not understand why we are going to see a house." He said shaking his head still clouded in confusion.

understanding dawned and he shook his head, "i already agreed that we would go and that if you wanted the house it would be gotten"

He frowned and his eyes found its self on the space where his finger was stroking. He did not understand why the boy was being so easy on him. "We can go, put a promise is a promise." he said reaching out to take the others hand.

saying nothing he allowed felix to think of it how he did and did not speak against the hypocrisy and simply remained there until felix thought to get up

It was a long ride but it was not with out their usual cuddling that disgusted the driver. The professor found himself falling asleep in Zosa's lap during the long journey to the house. He woke to a stilled car and a surprised Zosa. The home was nothing like the picture, in fact it was more perfect then he could imagine. A small space nearly identical to the one they shared on mars.

he had not known how long he sat there by the time felix awoke but even the driver understood this was something special and he was allowed the silence. when felix sat up he moved his eyes away from the little shack and gave the other a wide lopsided grin, "if it was a little smaller and had the panels it would look just like the tent, can we go inside?"

"If there is room inside" He joked before unbuckling himself and giving Zosa a kiss on his forehead. He slid from the back set, waited for Zosa and then nearly ran to the front door with the others hand inside of his. From where he stood he could see inside the tiny space through its large square windows. "It is good it is in the middle of no where. Does it have a computer under its floor?"

laughing at the wild reaction and insane question he shook his head, "you nut, no, no i don't think there is, ha-ha, where is the owner?"

"I thought we were?" He said stealing a kiss quickly before the real owner showed up, coughing and interrupting the happy occasion. He introduced himself with a polite hand shake before opening his home to the pair. The professor did not have far to travel before he knew he was happy. Staring at the back wall with the bed to his left he felt as much as home as he was on mars.

like the outside the inside was larger and unlike the tent there was no sink to allow for less over-head space meaning they had a small half-loft just big enough for a bed or some boxes though the current occupant kept a narrow bed near to the door against one wall, the other held shelves and a built-in table with cooking gear across at the foot of the bed and a narrow door at the end corner. he looked to the owner who nodded and squeezed against the wall so he could pass, inside was a small half-bath with a standing shower and a tiny window just above eye-level, turning back around he gave felix a smile, "<this is perfect, i want to live here>"

His grin deepened as he moved past the owner and found Zosa's arms. "<of course we can>" He said finding the lips on the happy face. "<Just let me know when you want to buy it and it is us... ours.>" He said correcting himself in his excitement.

laughing once more, though this time softly he gave a light kiss back, "<now, now, let's not upset the old owner and put thoughts in his head about what we will be doing here when he leaves. tell him we will take it>"
