Athens, Greece; August 13, 2004

[dovelike]

It's sometime mid-morning when Eirene regains consciousness, staring blearily up at the ceiling and idly wondering what the heavy thing on top of her is for the three or four seconds until her brain starts clearing away the cobwebs and reveals that the object is, in fact, boyfriend-shaped. Which leads to lots and lots of blushing, and a soft, happy sigh at what they did the night before.

Hopefully not loud enough to wake him, seeing as how Clark appears to be still asleep.

Comments

[eirenikos]

It doesn't hit Eirene for a while yet, because she's warm and cozy and pressed up against an equally warm and cozy farmboy farmer, indulging every so often in a kiss to his throat or chest and a happy sigh to join her others.

Eventually, "What'd you wanna do today. Before everything starts?"

[hero_farmboy]

Right. Everything.

"This," Clark replies after a moment. "Is there anything we, or you actually, need to do?"

[eirenikos]

"Nope." Eirene sits up a little, braced against an elbow and eyes the clock. "Don't need to be at the stadium until five, so that gives us over six hours to ... not do anything at all."

She settles back against him a few moments later, fingertips idly tracing across his mouth.

[hero_farmboy]

Something she's said gets Clark's attention, so much so that he even attempts to half sit up.

"It's eleven?"

[eirenikos]

"Nine-thirty. Ish." Eirene looks up at him. "I said over six hours."

Beat.

"But if you want to get up now, we can."

[hero_farmboy]

"Oh. Okay." Nine-thirty ish isn't so bad, despite the farmer in him telling him that yes, yes it is and he's practically wasted the whole morning doing nothing. Clark chooses to rebut by pointing out that he's been cuddling, and cuddling isn't nothing.

The farmer in him seems to agree, and shuts up about it, as Clark settles back down beside her. "No, I'm good. We can be lazy."

[eirenikos]

Eirene takes the opportunity to drape herself halfway across him, with the excuse that she should be completely comfortable if they're going to lie there and do more cuddling. She traces her fingers across his chest after a minute, content to just be there next to him.

Then: "You make me happy."

[hero_farmboy]

He can't even feel the weight of her, so her says nothing, merely drapes an arm over her once she seems to have decided she's comfortable.

"I'm glad," softly. "You make me happy, too." Although he figures she should know that by the mere fact that he hasn't started freaking out yet.

[eirenikos]

The lack of freaking out is greatly appreciated, and possibly rewarded with a series of kisses down the curve of his jaw. Nothing seductive, just admiration for the taste of his skin.

When that's been taken care of, his ear might get nuzzled as well, since this is a lazy morning for doing nothing but lying in bed.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark seems to enjoy those kisses nonetheless, and tilts his head to help in her endeavours. And then there's a soft moan when she gets to his ear.

[eirenikos]

Eirene wants to hear another one of those moans, since it makes her melt inside, so she nuzzles Clark's ear again. Several times, slowly and with Great Purpose.

With an attempt not to squirm against his side overly much.

[hero_farmboy]

"Eirene..." Clark barely gets her entire name out, hardly a whisper. His eyes drift closed and the hand at her back stills. And the fact that they're both still naked is becoming increasingly apparent to him.

[eirenikos]

Curious and curiouser. Eirene reaches up after a second, brushing more hair away from his ear, and presses a kiss against the out shell.

Whispered: "You're perfect."

[hero_farmboy]

"You're biased," he manages to murmur back before placing a finger under her chin and lifting her head so he can kiss her properly.

[eirenikos]

"And your point is?" The goddess at his side asks politely after a minute or two, when her lips are no longer being put to better different use. One could say the same thing about her fingers, currently drifting from throat to chest and back.

[hero_farmboy]

It will take him a few minutes to reply to that. And then when he isn't preoccupied, he forgets what they were talking about. So he'll just smile at her again.

"Hi."

[eirenikos]

"Hi."

Clark is completely adorable this morning, prompting another quick kiss from his girlfriend, while her hand errantly explores more of his chest.

"So..." Fingers trail towards his stomach. "Ideas on what to do today?"

[hero_farmboy]

"Uh." Somehow, Clark has lost his train of thought. Again. "Whatever you want to do, I guess."

[eirenikos]

"What if that included seducing you?" It's hard to tell if she's serious or not by the tone of voice, though the way her hand is inching closer to his hip, and the nip to his chin could be taken a certain way.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark has enough presence of mind to know that Eirene isn't likely to joke about that, regardless of the fact that they have now slept together. So while the playful tone is noted, there won't be any dismissing of what she's saying.

"Can you afford to break another bed?"

[eirenikos]

"Yes." She pauses, gaze moving away from his to flicker across the room, then back, shifting focus from Clark's face, to his throat, and then his chest before finally returning to those beloved green eyes.

"Might be safer outside. If the idea was an agreeable one."

[hero_farmboy]

"Outside?" It's obvious the idea's never really occurred to him before.,

[eirenikos]

"Outside. You, me, no clothing, on a blanket." It's too adventurous for him, she thinks, and leans forward to brush her lips against the center of his chest. "I'll bring it up again sometime."

While her fingers walk back up his stomach, and then detour to glide against the left side of his ribcage.

[hero_farmboy]

"You have neighbours," Clark feels obligated to point out. "I'll be more careful this time, I promise."

[eirenikos]

"Beds are replaceable. The comfort level of my lover is not. If we break this one, I'll get another." It's clearly okay if he doesn't 'be more careful'. And her fingers may turn around and head in a southerly direction.

"May I explore you?" she inquires when her fingertips drift past his bellybutton.
