Almost two weeks pass. Sadde still has work, even if school's out, but they and Theo hang out a bit more. No new cards appear, and Kero seems to not think that strange, so Sadde themself doesn't care. And one day Theo gets a text in the morning: Happy birthday!
"Nothing," he says, mostly truthfully.
He looks down and notes that he's still a bit messy. "Maybe we should go... take care of this?" he says, waving his hand.
"Oh, should we?" He reaches behind Theo's head with a hand for scritches, because he likes Theo's hair and also Theo.
That was entirely his intention! Kisses! Very very messy naked kisses.
[Manipulation skill: +1]
Eventually, Theo pulls away, and says, "Yeah, we should probably go get cleaned up."
Theo stands up, grabs his underwear and wipes himself off, then fetches some clean clothes and goes out into the hallway, in the direction of the bathroom. He stops, looking a bit embarrassed.
His dad's at the top of the stairs. He turns to look at Theo, notices his state of dress (or rather, lack of), and raises an eyebrow.
Sadde's wiped his face well enough, and was following Theo out when he saw Theo's reaction so he just pops his head through the door and grins, raising his right hand in a wave.
Theo's dad decides he probably doesn't want to know any more, and just goes back downstairs.
"...well, that could have gone worse," he says, actually leaving Theo's room now that his dad isn't there to see Sadde naked.
Well, Theo's a little bit red from the embarrassment, but that's quickly fading. He looks over at Sadde, taking in the view – his dad's made it clear he's staying away; he's got time to do this – then walks over to the bathroom.
And he proceeds to kiss Sadde in the shower.
Theo should be careful what he wishes for, if they spend enough time naked in each other's presence Sadde might just want to make them messy again.
Well that's fine. Theo was a little bit worried about his dad finding them, before, but since that's no longer a concern...
Is that so.
"Say, is this a thing that can only happen when I'm boy-shaped, by the way?"
"This... is not exclusively a boy-shaped thing... but it might be a boy-shaped thing more?"
Sadde wraps his arms around Theo and rests his chin on Theo's shoulder. "Eveeeeentually we're going to have to discuss the 'like' thing."
