Aria hadn't taken well to sea life at first - the motion of the ship rolling on the waves had done nothing for his health and he'd been rather poorly. They'd been at sea a while now and he'd become used to it.

He'd spent a lot of time with Morgan during the day when he could, but he'd been sure to retire to his own room each evening.

This evening he'd settled himself against the ships railing to watch the sun set on the horizon and then spotted a pod of dolphins. He'd never seen the sea mammals in the flesh before, he'd heard about them, but this was his first sight. He was enchanted by them and completely lost track of time as he watched them weaving and and leaping about the waves made in the ship's wake.

Morgan hardly noticed the audience, he was enjoying playing with Aria. He couldn't help but grin widely.

When they came to a natural stop, Aria stood, turned, and bowed, matching Morgan's grin.

He followed suit, standing and bowing to the audience with Aria. "Well done."

"Shall we retire for the evening?" he wanted very much to kiss Aria, but he'd do it in their quarters, not here in front of an audience.

"Yes, I think that's a good idea," Aria nodded. He thanked the people who complimented them as they left, then followed Morgan to his room.

He opened the door for them to their suite. "That was amazing."

"It was! It sounded so beautiful, it all fit so well, just like that, and those people!"
Aria could barely contain his excitement about the events of that evening. "It was wonderful!"
He threw his arms around Morgan and hugged him tightly before he could stop himself.

He was surprised that Aria hugged him, but slowly put his arms around him. "It was." He patted the younger man's back, but tried not to push him for more.

Aria felt extremely relaxed in his arms and allowed himself to stay there for a few moments before stepping back. He pushed his hair back from his face, calming down.

"I've had such a wonderdul evening."

"I have too," he smiled genuinely, letting Aria go. "Shall we have Andrew fix us something for dinner?"

[identity profile] so-far-fallen.livejournal.com 2012-01-06 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes please, I'd like that." Aria nodded. "Is Andrew enjoying his trip? I haven't seen him."

The aforementioned valet came out of his quarters in their suite and took Morgan's jacket and then Aria's. "Would you like something to drink, sirs?"

"Yes, please. And Aria was wondering if you were enjoying the voyage?" Morgan asked.

"Thank you, sir, for asking. It's been lovely. Much better than the time that we went to Ireland," Andrew admitted.

"I wouldn't mind something cool to drink, but I can fetch it muself, I don't mind. I'm glad you're having a good trip," Aria smiled. "Did something bad happen when you went to Ireland? Or was the weather awful?"

"The weather was dreadful, rained everyday we were there. There was mud everywhere," he said. "I'll get you something to drink." He disappeared into the small kitchen of their suite and came back a few seconds later with two gin and grapefruit juice drinks over ice.

Morgan accepted his gratefully. "Thank you, Andrew." It was quite refreshing.

"Thank you," Aria took the drink with a smile. He didn't realise it had gin in it and took a few large sips, feeling quite thirsty.

"Does it often rain in Ireland? I've never been..."

"Frequently," Andrew answered. "You might want to sip that gently. It's got gin in it." He brought out a tray of crudites for them with a dip made of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and spices. He'd prepared it knowing that Andrew was a vegetarian.

"Oops, thank you for the warning," Aria laughed. "Oh Andrew, these look lovely. You're so wonderful."

Aria picked at the food a little, feeling quite hungry. "How long do you think it will be before we reach New York?"

"Thank you, sir," Andrew said. "I've been working on procuring more vegan recipes that I can cook for you. I have a Cassoulet on the stove and I've come up with a chocolate cake that I think you'll like, sir. It contains no eggs or dairy."

"Thank you, Andrew," Morgan smiled. His valet was quite caring. "We should make landfall in New York three or four more days." He took a sip of his own drink.

"Goodness, you're much too kind to me , Andrew. Thank you."

Aria sighed contently, feeling so happy and relaxed. He looked at Morgan and smiled. "Three days... I will have to make the most of having you to myself then, I suppose."

Andrew smiled, "You're most welcome." He went back to the kitchen.

Morgan set down his drink and moved over to Aria. "May I kiss you?"

[identity profile] so-far-fallen.livejournal.com 2012-01-07 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Aria nodded, smiling. "Yes, please, I'd like you to."

He leaned forward, kissing Aria on the lips. At first the kiss was almost chaste. Then he deepened it.

Aria couldn't remember the last time he'd wanted or enjoyed a kiss so much. He parted his lips a little for Morgan, kissing him back with barely supressed desire.

He slid his arms around Aria, the kisses becoming more passionate. When their lips parted, "I think it would be best if you came to my room."
