[kouros]

From here

[He smiles]

You're welcome, Orpheus.

[He pushes open the door to his apartment, making a face as he gestures to a door]

I hate this place. My room's over there.

Comments

[kouros]

[After Apollo recovers enough, he starts easing Orpheus off his cock so they're more comfortable]

Did you enjoy it?

[He knows the answer to that, obviously, but hey. Ego boost!]

[golden_lyre]

[Orpheus chuckles as he settles in at Apollo's side.]

Yes. I...very definitely enjoyed it.

...did you? [He's less sure about that than Apollo.]

[kouros]

Of course.

[He smiles and kisses him]

[golden_lyre]

[Orpheus smiles into the kiss, carding his fingers through Apollo's hair.]

I'm glad it wasn't disappointing.

[kouros]

What, did you doubt yourself that much?

[He holds Orpheus close and rolls over so he's on top now.]

[golden_lyre]

Not with anyone else.

[Apollo's just had a lot more experience than most--okay all--of the other people he's been with.]

[kouros]

Even if you were a total, awkward virgin, you would have been wonderful, Orpheus.

[golden_lyre]

[Orpheus smirks.] I was never an awkward virgin.

[He was far too self-possessed as a boy.]

[kouros]

Oh, really now? How did you manage to miss that stage, hm?

[golden_lyre]

My dad gave me a slave girl when I was thirteen. You can't go wrong with a slave girl.

And after that...I tried to seduce the captain of his army. Well, I say tried...

Anyway, that doesn't work if you go the awkward route.

[kouros]

When in doubt, go for a slave girl.

[Apollo snickers a little at the second confession]

How did that go?

[golden_lyre]

He resisted very well until he found me naked in his bed.

[kouros]

[Apollo laughs]

Really, Orpheus?

[golden_lyre]

[Orpheus laughs too.]

He...really looked like you.

[kouros]

[Apollo smiles, a little sadly]

Have I mentioned that we were idiots when we were younger?

[golden_lyre]

Yeah, I was, at least.

[kouros]

I had my moments. I'll admit that now.

[golden_lyre]

You did all right.

[kouros]

Yes, but my personal relationships...well, you heard about Cassandra.

[golden_lyre]

I heard about all your exploits. [Orpheus smiles faintly, reaching up to touch his hair.]

[kouros]

And you don't hate me.

[Apollo leans into the touch]

I'm honored.

[golden_lyre]

You've always been good to me.

[kouros]

You'd be surprised how that doesn't always work on people.

[golden_lyre]

I am constantly surprised by people who don't appreciate you.

[kouros]

Well, right now, I am perfectly okay with a smaller profile. With Rebecca Black and other...fiascoes running about in the industry, I don't want to be blamed for them.
