For [livejournal.com profile] immortal_pirate

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.

lol. :D - no need to apologise, trust me!

[Aria couldn't help laughing quietly at his reaction, glad he's pleasing him]

This is one of my favourite things to do.

"Really?" he smiled. "I hope you don't mind if I take baths with you from now on?" he chuckled softly and leaned back to kiss him.

"I think that will make it even more of a favourite passtime," Aria replied. "But then I think spending any time at all with you is going to be wonderful."

"I quite like spending time with you too," he kissed Aria again. "Turn around, let me bathe you."

"You don't have to," Aria said, but he turned around anyway, offering his back to Morgan.

"I want to," Morgan said taking the sponge from his lover and soaping it to gently wash Aria's back.

Aria smiled and let his eyes close in satisfaction, smiling.

"Mmm, that feels lovely, Morgan, thank you." he murmured. He loved the water, he loved everything about it - one day he hoped he'd have the chance to learn how to swim.

He rinsed the soap from Aria's back. "Lean back and I'll wash your hair."

Aria let his head fall back, smiling.

"I feel so pampered!"

Morgan leaned forward to kiss Aria's forehead as he washed his hair, his hand under his neck for support. "I would like you to feel pampered all the time. You have beautiful hair."

"But if you're pampered all the time you grow accustomed to it and don't appreciate it, don't you think?"

Aria made a quiet sound of approval as his hair was carefully washed, the feel of Morgan's fingers massaging his scalp was wonderfully relaxing.

"Still, I'm enjoying this quite a bit." He smiled, rinsing the soap from his hair.

"I must confess that I am as well," he laughed, lightly. "I could stay here all night."

He stretched up and kissed Morgan's lips lightly, smiling. There was clear love in his eyes now.

He loved that look in Aria's eyes, the soft kisses. "I could too, but I fear the water is already getting cold."

"And Andrew will have our supper waiting," Aria nodded, then sighed. "We should get out..."

He stood slowly and got out of the tub, he grabbed a towel for himself and handed one to Aria. He dried himself quickly and dressed. "He will."

Aria also dried and dressed quickly, then started to make the bed, pulling up the rumpled sheets and smoothing them out.
"Is Andrew always with you?"

[identity profile] immortal-pirate.livejournal.com 2012-01-24 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes," he hesitated. "Why do ask?" Andrew had been with him for years and was friend and confidant as well as valet.

"The two of you seem close, that's all. I think it's nice." Aria replied. "I like him, I'm glad to know he'll be around."

[identity profile] immortal-pirate.livejournal.com 2012-01-24 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah. We are and I'm glad you like him. He's worked for me for twenty years and he's my closest friend." Andrew was one of the few men alive who knew what Morgan really was. He put his arms around Aria and kissed him. "And he's also quite fond of you."

"I'm glad. I was afraid he might have thought me spoilt or fussy for insisting he make seperate foods for me - I never meant to put him to any trouble."

[identity profile] immortal-pirate.livejournal.com 2012-01-24 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't worry. Andrew probably gets bored with me. He likes a challenge. He's learning to cook vegetarian and he's really enjoying it." He kissed Aria again and let him go.

Aria was glad. He grinned and linked his fingers through Morgan's. "We shouldn't keep him waiting."
