Pent up Needs…..

It's a warm muggy afternoon. The air heavy with humidity. No one really wants to do anything so it's perfect for sleeping. Logan makes himself a glass of iced tea to cool off. On the way out of the kitchen, he spies Sleeping Beauty, shirtless on a chair in the parlor, the book he was reading lying on the floor where it fell. The penthouse is silent save for the sounds of the city below floating in through the open balcony doors.
Logan leans against the arch of the parlor entrance. He indulges in a little bit of voyeurism, studying this angel flopped in his living room chair. How can anyone possibly look so innocent and seductive at the same time? Logan wants to wrap him in fluffy blankets to keep him safe, yet he wants to ravish him too. Or maybe ravish him on fluffy blankets….would that be wrong?
They are in that stage between dating and lovers. The 'subject' has come up. But neither wants to rush, letting things progress naturally. For now Logan is satisfied with the delicious aches of pent up 'needs'.
The urge to be nearer to Julian brings him into the parlor. He presses the sweating glass of iced tea onto the bare skin on Julian's arm.
"Mmmm…" Julian stirs. Logan presses the glass against skin again, this time on Julian's side. Julian flinches away, cracking his eyes open. When he sees it's Logan, he pouts a little as if to say -I was sleeping-.
"You're going to get a crick in the neck sleeping in that chair." Logan sets the glass on a coffee table nearby and leans over Julian. With one hand he braces himself on the back of the chair, the other he places on Julian's bare chest and leans in to kiss him.
Julian grumbles into the kiss, -something about asking the Senator to get more comfy furniture-, but doesn't push him away. He's almost asleep again by the time Logan pulls away. Sleeping Beauty can be a bitch when roused.
Logan chuckles, nuzzling Julian's cheek and neck with his nose. He loves doing this, it gives him the opportunity to breathe in Julian's scent. A scent he's committed to memory a thousand times over.
He lets his hand wander down Julian's chest. "Go sleep in my room," Logan suggests. Julian just mumbles incoherently and starts to drift off again. When Logan's hand reaches the top of Julian's jeans, only then does Julian snap awake, left hand shooting up instinctively to push lightly on Logan's chest.
"Got your attention there." Logan smirks above him. "It's too hot for that..," Julian complains, words still sleep slurred, which just makes him even more adorable.
"Come on, get up. Sleep on the couch if you want, at least it's more comfortable." Logan tugs on Julian's arm in a way that suggests he won't take no for an answer.
Julian grudgingly complies. His neck is starting to ache anyway. They end up napping in Logan's bed. Sprawled but not touching. It really was too hot to do anything….especially involving fluffy blankets.
